Changing Your Password Won't Kill You -  I am constantly amazed at the resistance of so many of my clients and readers to change their Windows passwords.
"They MAKE me do it every 30 days at work! I'm not doing it at home too."
"I don't know how."
"I forget where that stuff is."
"Why would I want to change it? 12345 is so easy to remember!"
I think everyone is aware that changing your Windows password regularly is important to maintain a certain level of security for your computer.
What surprises me more is the excuse that it's too hard to do or the options are too hard to find. They're not. Changing a Windows password is one of the easier things you can do in Windows:

Gateway Won't Start - From topphop in the PC Support Forum:
I have a gateway computer ( GT5235E). When i hit the power button it will not start at all. I have tried to change the hard drive, put in another PCI video card, and tried to clear the CMOS. Need help figuring this one out, someone told me it may be the motherboard

Do You Choose the 32-bit Driver or the 64-bit One? - Have you ever been looking for a simple driver or software program to download but froze on the choice of a 32-bit version or a 64-bit version?
If you weren't sure, 32-bit was probably the safe choice. Most users with 64-bit computers are pretty aware of this fact. However, this is something you should know for sure about your PC:
Am I Running a 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System?

Computer Restarts After Loading - From winner3001 in the PC Support Forum:
The problem that i am having is that my computer won't even load anymore. After i turn on my computer and let the dell bios run the computer has an error. It says that some hardware or software has been added to make windows from starting properly but i don't think i have added anything. This cycle keeps on repeating. Safe mode won't work either.
Any suggestions? Computer Restarts After Loading originally appeared on About.com Focus on PC Support on Monday, February 15th, 2010 at 11:53:13. Permalink | Comment | Email this
Confused - From turbonupe in the PC Support Forum:
I just replaced the motherboard and power supply in a HP desktop, now, when i go to power it on, the only thing that happens is the cpu fan comes on, there is a green light on the power supply on the back, but the light in the front isn't as bright as it use to be, is my power supply bad?
Maybe a short? Wrong installation? Bad motherboard or PSU? What do you think? Confused originally appeared on About.com Focus on PC Support on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 at 10:38:26. Permalink | Comment | Email this
Good Job, Logitech - Keith Ward blogged on Tuesday about a fantastic experience he had with Logitech Tech Support:
Thumbs-up to Logitech Tech Support
Very seldom do we hear tech support stories that are nothing but positive so I thought this was definitely worth mentioning.
From Keith:
"I only had to wait minutes, and talked with someone very knowledgeable, who listened patiently to my explanations, and kept working on the problem until we got it resolved. He was unfailingly polite, and was able to hone into the problem quickly."
I truly believe that the quality of a company's technical support is directly related to the kind of company it is as a whole. Good Job, Logitech originally appeared on About.com Focus on PC Support on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 06:15:29. Permalink | Comment | Email this
