Suggestions for discussion groups for 'puter problems?

[ombre3]

I am a newbie to compters. Barely understand them. And when they "act funny" --------I have not a clue what to do.

I realize that this forum is not primarily designed for computer questions. (although I have gotten excellent responses the few times I have asked computer related questions.

So do not want to burden you all , but------please, if you will be so kind, give me some discussion room sites---


(friendly sites for 'puter newbies), who will answer my many questions in a friendly manner.

Thank you in advance.

There are a number of websites that offer help on computer problems, none of which I can think of now, unfortunately. Go to newsgroups and look under the comp. headings to find some discussions groups.

I did run across one really good free site, staffed by volunteers, that deals with Windows problems and questions. I checked it out and it seems very good. Go to: www.Protonic.com

Oh, yeah, I remember another one now at www.tomshardware.com

Thanks for a very quick response.

Will check out both of those sites.

The folks at the Tech Support Guy Forums (http://forums.techguy.org/) are hella nice. I've only used them for spyware removal help but that's one of the most hair-pulling topics for a tech and they always are really pro and helpful.

You will find loads of help at bleepingcomputer.com (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/). Good forums and great resources.
