Computer Help
I have spent my entire life giving free computer help to my friends and family and developing this website was a way of not having to repeat myself 100 times when explaining each compute help situation. I class computer help as a situation when a person has a specific problem with their computer because getting computer tips is more like learning about computers because you are interested in the subject.
Who is this computer help for?
The computer help you get always depends on the problem you have. It does not have to be as drastic as a major computer crash as it could be something as simple as not knowing how to do something. People need computer help different reasons and there are so many different levels of knowledge when it comes to computers. If you need to learn about computers then you need to visit our computer basics section.
In this computer help section I’m going to focus on problems that you might have and that you need help with.
Computer help sections
Computer Troubleshooting Tips This section is all about trying to solve problems that are unexpected. Of course we never expect a problem to occur, but with computers there are so many things that can go wrong. These computer troubleshooting tips range from simple errors or problems to the more advanced technical errors. Obviously it is not worth fixing every problem, however this is just a collection of common errors that can occur on a computer.
Computer Maintenance Everyone needs to perform computer maintenance to avoid these problems that can occur. If you ignore computer maintenance then you will be hanging out in the computer troubleshooting section all the time. If you want to avoid problems on your computer make sure you visit the computer maintenance section to get the best computer help when it comes to avoiding disasters.
Computer Upgrade Upgrading your own computer is a common thing that people do now days. I just cannot believe how many people actually get their hands into a computer and pull them apart and rebuild them. I really do not think that TV is had that many do it yourself backyard TV repair men. There must be something special about computers. What do you think?
Webpage Help Building websites can be difficult when you do not have experience. Even if you are a fully fledged website designer you will still need to know about search engine optimization, grabbing traffic, and many more factors that are involved in building websites.
Where can I get the best computer help?
Of course the best computer help is from this website, however we cannot help everyone, so I’m going to mention some top computer help forums that you might want to visit.
Computer Help: Computer Hope forum
Computer Help: Bleeping computer help forums
By the way guys, I am looking for some computer help myself as the Tips4pc forum needs moderators.

Thanks,
Martha.
why i cant check disk error in my acer (c:)
Lol, I understand the feeling of repeating yourself 100 times about the same thing
I’m confident to say that I know a thing or two about computers and anything related to them but I still need help sometimes. That’s why I think this kind of post will be very useful to people especially the ones who are not familiar with the “tech world.”
Nice post as always Mitz! All the best!

I have an HP dv4 laptop and recently its been giving me a black screen on start up and nothing else. I’ve hard restarted it and it’s started up and i started in safe mode and it worked fine till i shut it down again. Yesterday I turned it on and the fan starts running, the lights work, I heard the windows tone like windows was coming on but I saw nothing on my screen just black. Even when i try to hard restart now it just has a black screen, help please
Hi there
Have you been plugging your laptop into another screen???
Did you notice any other problems that might be related…flashing screen, lines, and so on..auto shutdown?? Sleep mode?
Instead of starting in safe mode how about trying “enable vga mode” or something that looks like that..Can’t remember off hand…
Hi Today when I started up my computer it took forever going into Windows. When it finally opened a message flashed saying my settings had been changed and none of my usual stuff was there. I went to system restore and got it all back however I do not know if this means I have been hacked or not. I was looking through my system thinking I should perhaps change all my related passwords but when I went to windows vault there was an entry that I cannot determine whether it is valid or an oh-oh. It was as Virtualapp/didlogical and it gives a user name that is definitely nothing I generated as well as a hidden password. Should I be worried?
After formatting my clashed lenovo E600A laptop with a RAM 256mb,it resarted itself and began from intalling windows when it was suppose to be finalling the intallation.Afterwards,it turned off bring a white solid display.It turns on with a black LCD,all lights on including for power and a sound from the fun which eventually stops after few seconds and it remains quite.please help me.
Very informative post, love the way you write and I think that the information helps in a way. I do not usually say this, but I believe this can be a great job done. In the event you prefer to alternate hyperlinks, I might be more than pleased to offer a link back to your site. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers

How about you choose to start with the last known configuration? Did you try that?

I bought a second hand Samsung notebook N130 and it has Windows 7 on it including the previous owners name and password. How do I get past his password so I can even get to the start up desktop? His name is there on boot but I can’t figure out the password. Is there a way to bypass the password, so I can get to the start up menu and make my Notebook my own?
Hmm. Why didnt you check it when you bought it? If you go the discs with it the best option would be to formatting the hard drive to make it completely clean.
Hey Mitz,
Just stumbled on to your site. Can you tell me how to figure out how much gbs I have stored on my entire computer. I want to buy a flashdrive or hard drive to back it up, as well as my laptop. Is 5 enough for storage if I get a harddrive?
Go to the start menu.
Click on computer.
Then you will see C: drive.
If you have Windows XP you might have to hover the mouse over the drive to see how full it is..
i have installed windows 7 client on few computer one of them is asking for product keys to upgrade how can we find the installed product key.
You should have a product key on the COA sticker that came with the operating system cd. The COA sticker has the serial number.

Hi, I shut down computer as normal but windows came up with 20 updates and woudol not let me shutdown. When i went to start up next day i had a very dark screen, after 2hrs it asked me if i wanted to repair computer, whih i did, then 2 hrs later i was asked for password, then keyboard language, after another 1hr 1/2 it came back. I cannot shut computer down now as i have to go through this process everytime. Do you have any idea whats going on. I know nothing about these machines. Thank you for any help. Di.
Hi Di
Can you try pressing the F8 key when you are starting the computer. This will bring up a boot menu and you should choose to start with the “last good known configuration”.
Otherwise you can start in safe mode, possibly, and then do a system restore.
Depending on what version of Windows you are using, you can also insert the cd and do a system restore from there.
Mitz recently posted..Formatting a Hard Drive Using the Windows Operating System
Hi Mitz, I have to push the F8 key otherwise nothing happens, it then takes 2hrs for each process. I have windows vista and have been told that this may be my prob and to load Windows 7. I am a thicko when it comes to computers and formatting a hard drive wouold be like walking up mount everest for me lol.
Ok 2hrs is not good.
I would take the hard drive out and put it in an external hard drive case and get the files you need off it.
Then I would put it back and format it or re-install windows.
Yes Windows seven is better by far but if you have Vista that is OK… It is not that bad now…The updates make it ok to use…
Another option is to insert the Operating system cd and do a repair. Instead of choosing to install there is a repair option.
