i advise all, who is using Windows OS to have it. It helps a lot for fixing problems.

This book was already out-of-date when it came out in 2006. There's helpful advice here and there, but I'm sure there are many, many better books on this topic.

[Aibee · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book has given information in computer hardware and briefly introduced Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and Quicken, but there is not much information on fixing computer problems.
