Computer Tech Help Corner

[niv78]

I thought I would put one of these up since i've helped a few peeps on Lit with their computers. If you are having problems with your computer, wanting to buy something but not sure what or need help installing something you can either post the question here or send me a PM.

I hope to be able to keep up with the questions asked, lets try and keep the chatter off of this thread, maybe I can get it sticked one of these days if it proves popular enough.

I may not know the answer to every question, but I will research and find it for you if I can. I also know a lot of other techies in the IT world so can ask them if I dont know it. If all else fails you can blame Wings.

I have had some great questions sent via PM. So far i've been able to answer them all, so keep them coming.

I know you don't want chatter, but hey!! blame me you say!! Good thing I adore you too.

Oh, and actually on topic, niv is wonderfully helpful and smart, pick his brain!

I dont mind some chatter, this is a social enviroment afterall. I just dont want to lose questions in to much of it Maybe if people post questions in a different color than black I can see them easier or something.

you might want to try the "How To" area of the board... and not the Personals

No, I am correct in my location. This is the only place on the boards that I post and socialize so i'm offering it to the people here. If you do not want to see it then dont click on it.

It is not a matter of what I want to see or not - I very rarely come to Lit anymore.

However you are NOT correct. The "Personals" section is for personals... not help/or "How To" posts.

All you need to do is read the Forum Guidelines. Where you go and socialize is not how the site is organized. If LadyG eventually sees the thread she may move it anyway.

Just sayin....

Wow! Someone sure is cranky, maybe he should go out and play with his tiger Hobbs

why would you assume I am cranky because I point out the obvious?

Maybe I am just trying to help. Most people that are looking for computer help will go to the How To section. If you do a search there you will find many threads dealing with exactly that subject.
I would also point out that off topic threads just make it harder for others to find what they might be looking for.
So please, unless you actually know me, please refrain from guessing if I am being "cranky" or not.

Just to change the direction of this thread a little - and get it back to computers - I'm a technology journalist and so if anybody has any computer or technology-related questions they'd like to ask then they can feel free to PM me as well, and I'll try my best to answer

 

[niv78]

Absolutely, anyone can feel free to add their advice here. I would rather have people post their problems here so that others can see it and help as well. More minds on a problem are better than one

 

[niv78]

Thought I would give this a Holiday bump since people will be getting all kinds of goodies. If you need some help just let me know.
