Troubleshooting and Maintaining Your PC All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies

Most troubleshooting books concentrate on upgrading - and usually hardware at
that. This book concentrates on solving problems - whether they're software,
hardware, or operating system problems. In addition, Dan offers tools and advice
on maintaining your system to maximize its life. Seven minibooks cover:
• Hardware
• Software
• Laptops
• Internet
• Networking
• Maintenance
• Useful Tools
Reader Arron W. Muir says, "I am an above average computer user and this book
was still very helpful. The layout is very well done, you just go to the chapter
that fits your need without having to read through allot of other stuff to find
what you need. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to save a buck
rather than pay a Geek!
This book reflects the handholding, clear explanations, and light humor that
are hallmarks of the For Dummies style.
Maintaining a PC is important, and troubleshooting a PC can be a challenge. Dan
Gookin is great at explaining how to handle common PC problems, and he’s provided
a complete, plain-English manual in Troubleshooting & Maintaining Your PC All-in-One
For Dummies. Liberally laced with Dan’s famous humor and clear instructions,
Troubleshooting and Maintaining Your PC All-in-One For Dummies is divided into six
minibooks covering hardware, software, laptops, Internet, networking, and maintenance.
Each one gives you some background on what causes common problems, to help you

and find the elusive wireless network
• Investigate startup issues, battery quirks, and power problems

• Perform regular maintenance and keep good backups

free and demo software, too. Troubleshooting and Maintaining Your PC All-in-One For
Dummies is tech support in a book!
