I was wondering, if there is a good message board for hints, tips and help concerning computers. :confused:

Everyone here is so helpful but I hate to always be posting questions. :)

Thanks in advance! ;)

TC, if you're looking for help with Microsoft stuff, especially Windows.. go here:

There are quite a few out there, but I honestly believe that you will get a better quality of help here, than there. We've got some knowledgable people helping out in this forum and I doubt that anyone would care if you posted here everyday. :)

But, just to answer your question. Taz's idea is a good one for searching for helping with MS products. You can also try these, just be careful. Some people may want to help, but sometimes the advice given is just plain wrong and can screw up your system even worse. If you are unsure, then post it here or PM me.

I don't recommend depending on microsoft for support. Not only is their tech support shit, but I can't tell you how many times I have followed their knowledge base and it was wrong.

I tried installing their front page server entensions for an NT server, and I followed them EXACTLY as described, and it never worked right. This has happened many times.

You are better off elsewhere.

*EDIT*

What I meant by better off elsewhere, is you are better off NOT going to Microsoft to support their own products. Like I say, I have been given many wrong answers by their knowledge base, so I don't even depend on that.

On top of that, Microsofts opinions are TOTALLY baised. Gee... what a surprise.

Shakey's right.....you can post all the probs you want...that's what this forum area is here for :) We wouldn't have it here if there weren't people who like to help others out :)
