I'm the lazy novical type who asks a dumb question and seems to get away with it , like my first question which is what brought me here . And - hello everywhere else B)

Welcome, most, if not all are lazy, but before you can be lazy, sponsor MSFN or help other users with their PC woes.

I bought my first computer 3 years ago and told the salesman when he asked "do you want us to install the software" , no . Since then I have been using the computer at least 40 hours each week . All I could do with a computer before that time was click on buttons and type a wee bit .

I've broken 2 harddrives and I'm up to my 3rd motherboard .

Now , when I think I recognise a problem I can understand as having corrected on my own computer I help someone .

More often the problems I help with a operating system setting problems in OEM Windows XP Home Edition which came with my first computer .
