Help Page

These help pages are designed to give the average PC users general directions and fault finding steps to enable them to deal the basic problems of computing. At best the information here may enable them to fix the problem. At worst they will be able to better describe to a computer repairer the details of their PC problem.

To the computer junkie or average technician, you will not see anything new in these pages. If you wish to contribute to this section, please mail us. Owing to who the pages are intended for, the philosophy of KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) when contributing would be appreciated.
