| 776011 | 2009-05-23 04:00:00 | NO one knows every thing - if they think they do then they better get their hand off it (you know what I Mean) -- I'm sure there are many things that a good tech would know that many others dont. Personally I dont know of any Techs that would bother making a copy of an error message any way - Every tech I know, they have a Workshop PC OR PC's - and if an error message comes up on the faulty machine they are working on that they dont know, they simply open a browser on the workshop PC type in the error code and go look for an answer. Why make a copy of the error, save it, transfer it to a USB maybe - muck around printing it out. OK it may have its place to save a copy of the error - but most customers are not interested in error messages which mean nothing to them - all they want is their PC to work correctly OR posting it back here so someone can help. I don't find it useful, and I don't think a technician would either, but it would be damn useful for the guy trying to get help, so he/she doesn't have to type the whole error message(eg on a forum) |

Often you hear people saying --" every time I try to do <insert task> The PC crashes, or Doesn't do what its meant to" Trying to figure out exactly what they have done can be a damn nightmare --- The new feature --- click start type in PSR Select it - hit record:thumbs: ---- Do the "task" that causes the problem - send the file to the Tech, or the Tech can read what has happened. |

| 776015 | 2009-05-23 05:24:00 | Hopefully there will be a good alternative for XP and Vista Maybe this could be a good school project for you? I'm sure there will be plenty of people out there who would be grateful for something like that. |

Hm....guess it wouldn't be too hard...I'm not good enough with C++ so I might try with Visual Basic, when I have the time:p |
