| In every PC user's life, there's a point when desperate
measures must be taken. Some push their PC off a pier or
chuck it into a landfill. Others turn their former computing
ally into a planter box. But don't give up on your PC
yet--help is at hand. This easy to read, accessible book
from PC World expert Steve Bass covers the waterfront of PC
gripes and gremlins, with fixes for everything from Windows
glitches to browsers that won't browse. Each fix is served
up in bite-sized portions for quick reading--and even
quicker fixing. A revised version of its best-selling
predecessor, the 2nd edition offers 50 additional pages and
over 120 new fixed annoyances. This reader-friendly book
tackles problems related to a wide-ranging number of topics:
Windows--King of Annoyances! learn how to kick Windows in
the rear, overcome glitches, take charge of the interface,
live with the dreaded Service Pack 2
Hardware--wake up your DSL, tame your notebook, silence your
PC's fan, work wonders with your scanner, and save paper
Email--from Outlook to Eudora! Defeat spam, avoid mailing
list hassles, send big files, manage folders
Microsoft Office--learn workarounds for Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint that help you back up the unbackable and automate
data entry
Internet--shake up IE, stop Flash, outsmart defaults,
control Favorites, add the Google toolbar to Netscape
Plus, you get access to more than one hundred utilities that
will help you squash bugs, enhance your email, untangle a
system snarl, and much more. If your PC has ever annoyed you
(do we see several billion raised hands?), PC Annoyances is
for you. With the flip of a page or two, you can fix that
faux pas and have your PC purring again.
