| 1345106 | 2013-06-08 06:36:00 | It seems to me that there are too many people around these days that just want everything handed to them on a plate without using their own brains in any way, a ready made solution to every problem. Life is just not like that, there are too many variables and variations on themes etc. Years ago, PressF1 used to have a heading along the lines of being a place to help people help themselves., ie. pointing people in a direction where they could solve the problem themselves. |

| 1345107 | 2013-06-08 08:05:00 | like wanting to know what your webcam sees in Vista, Win7 or 8. As you may know I recently discovered it..Urm.... doesn't it just "see" what its pointed to? Which is viewable on your monitor? Crikey! (or should that be Eureka!) |

| 1345108 | 2013-06-08 13:19:00 | In regards to the OP; I would suggest maybe set up a blog site with all the helpful info you do find Quite a few people do that already.. so you could even start linking to them as you find them |

| 1345109 | 2013-06-09 00:43:00 | It's not a bad idea. There are databases of faults and the solution(s) available for TV repair etc. Each service company usually keeps their own records too. BUT like Wainuitech said, a free, public database that tried to encompass all computer faults would be _hard_ to keep running. There are so many variables in hardware\software etc it's not funny. Very different from "Model XYZ123 TV, no sound: Check Q12 for short" for example. Microsoft already has a good knowledgebase of known Windows bugs and issues, but of course they only cover Windows and other Microsoft products. There are many other known bugs and problems lists for or from other companies. However, you still need the Google skills to find them. |

| 1345110 | 2013-06-10 06:16:00 | However, you still need the Google skills to find them. Now that is the answer in a nutshell. Many many times I have eventually found the answer to what I was looking for once I finally worked out the correct search terms. That, to me, is the hardest part about searching for answers - knowing what to ask and because I usually don't my Google skills are pathetic. :( |

| 1345112 | 2013-06-13 09:43:00 | "Edited: As an example, I got a customers computer here right now, it sometimes freezes, and I bet anything you like no one could tell me why if I posted the problem - but sitting in front of it - I spotted it within 5 minutes." What I am proposing is not another PressF1. It does already exist after all. What I am proposing is a resource of found 'solutions'. No problem constructing it; anyone who knows of a solution can add it. Like Wikipedia. |
