After installing and using Windows vista for several weeks now I havent had much luck finding applications that work well with the operating system.
I’m curious if anyone else is having the same issues with Vista? If you have found a program that works WELL with Vista, and all functionaltiy of the program is there drop me a line.
First lets think about this. I have heard and I quote “Computers dont make mistakes..its the user that makes em!”. Ok I gotta say this and I hope someone is listening. Computers are a great piece of technology, but remember the internal workings such as hardware and software are completely designed by a human animal. So wouldn’t that make them as infalable as the people who design them?
Honestly though!…computers are only as infalable as the engineer who designs the components or software!
The best tool you can have is knowledge. Knowledge of your system and software. Use the tools provided by the pc or software manufacturer to help maintain a healthy system. Most hardware and software manufacturers incorporate an extensive knowledge base as well as update services to help you maintain your pc functionality. Believe me…Any error you have experienced while using resources the manufacturer has already encountered in testing. It’s as easy as searching a knowledge base or creating a trouble ticket in their support system.
I know…I know: Its alot to read and most of it can be extremely confusing. Just remember when troubleshooting there are a few key things to note in your search: What version of Windows are you using? What is the EXACT error you are experiencing? When is this error occuring? If it occurs in a particular software title then what version is that software title? You cannot go wrong in your search for an answer to a particular issue if you have this information. These details will help you point to a specific answer in a knowledgebase. Just as there are many causes to one particular problem there are just as many fixes for that problem. So when you get frustrated while trying to fix an issue…before you take it out on your tech support remember that. Tech support is troubleshooting, and I assure you they are just as eager to remedy your issue as you are.
Send your comments on your own experiences, gripes, or just a funny computer story. I would love to hear them.
Have a great day
