I hope this article is helpful in finding help for problems you have with your computer or anything you are using on your computer. I like being able to help and provide answers to your questions in the AARP groups, Computer questions and tips, and Community Help, but I thought I would provide a few tips on getting help from your computer and programs you use on it. Most problems are easy to solve by just using ?help? provided with your computer or the program you are using. Look on the toolbar for a ? or Help . If you can't find your answer using help on your computer then you may have to go on line or ask for help.
Let's start with your computer. To get help for your computer , by the way I am using a Gateway with Windows XP SP3, go to Start→Help and Support . You should be able to find out a lot about your computer by starting here.
How about a problem with a Microsoft program . Use this link for Help and save it to your favorites. http://support.microsoft.com/
Are you using Firefox , go to their help site at: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/
You can go to your favorite search engine and type in a few keywords about your problem and do a search for a solution to your problem. Sometimes you have to rearrange the keywords to find an answer.
Every program you use should provide help. Remember, if you can't find an answer then feel free to ask for additional help. Let us help you solve your problem, if we can. I am sure someone has the answer.
