PROBLEMS PAGE |
This "COMPUTER PROBLEMS PAGE" contains a list of 26 links to websites
dealing with computer problems and their possible solutions.
If you are having a problem with your computer, you may find the
solution here. But if you are still having a problem, ensure that you write up a
detailed "bug" report, and give it to Hugh Crawford (at/before the next monthly
club meeting), so that he and other club members can find an answer for you. If
you know of some computer problem and its solution (or a website where the
problem/solution is discussed), please write a detailed report on same and send
it to Hugh. He will always try to credit the name of the problem-solver,
if it is provided.
