★★ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ★★

◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first started. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. You should get both of them. Each one has information the other doesn't have. You'll learn cut, copy, paste, delete, making files, drag and drop and many many more helpful tricks.

◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. Only libraries can get an account at Firstsearch.org. So you need to go to the library to search it. When you find what you want have the librarian order it for you. Read it and then return it to them. :)

◙ Here are two more great books. One is Windows XP Headaches. It teaches you how to fix many common and uncommon computer problems you'll run into with Windows XP. The other is PCs The Missing Manual. There are hundreds of tutorials in this book from hooking up a router to sharing and IPod between two computers and the list goes on and on. Ipoders will find some helpful information here too.

◙ Smart Computing Magazine -- This is the number one magazine for Windows tips. They'll show you how to clean your registry, spyware, adware, and a zillion other tricks. There are quite literally hundreds of tips per issue. They even have an online database of tips, forums and chats. Their online version of the magazine is a lot cheaper.

◙ Microsoft Product Support -- Get updates to software, tips, tricks and a multitude of other things here.

☞ http://support.microsoft.com/

◙ Microsoft Product Discussion Groups -- You'll need to signup for an MSN Passport Account to use these groups. But it's really worth your time. You'll receive better help here than anywhere else. If you want help with a product you didn't pay for don't tell them that you didn't pay for it. :)

Click on Start - Choose shutdown or reboot

If computer is locked up, you can turn off the power and back on or hit the reset button on your CPU. (only if computer is locked up).
