I am new to this, but I hope to give tech tips and provide everyday users some advice to make computing more fun and less frustrating.

Here are my tips to you.

1) Don't be afraid. Most of the people I help with their computer, know what the problem is, they are just afraid they will mess things up by trying to fix it. Uninstall that application, remove that drive, just be careful not to delete any system files or monkey with the registry but everything else is fixable.

2) Google is your friend. If you have an error, get a screen shot or a piece of paper and write it down. The type it verbatim in Google. Chances are very good someone else has had the same problem. Don't try to remember it, you won't. Write it down, or better yet, print the screen.

3) If you are going to buy a new computer, especially a laptop/notebook, get the extended warranty. It is a small price to pay down the road, when the hard drive crashes, 13 months after you bought it.

Well that is it for now, check back often for my tips and suggestions, and don't be afraid to ask me questions you might have about your computer.
