How Well Do You Use the Internet?

The Internet can bring a wealth of useful help to you.  If you have a PC problem, or a software problem, or don't know how to make something happen on your iMac, try a search on the internet to find answers.  Here are a few examples.

Your PC takes forever to boot.  Open your favorite browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.  Maybe Opera.  In the search window, type "PC boots slowly"  or "Fix slow booting on PC" or some such other phrase. 

Press Enter/Return. 

Then take the time to read some of the responses, or watch some of the videos.  You might be surprised as the possibilities.  (I hope one you find suggests that when you turn your computer on you start pressing the F8 key and then go into Safe Mode.) 

If you are on a Mac, and cannot get a program to stop running, you might type in a search phrase like, "How do I make a program stop running on my Mac?"

I think you are getting the idea. 

Oh -- do NOT get sucked in to downloading a PC Repair program, or other miracle program.  Those answers, those pop-up ads, those scams are probably part of what slowed your computer down in the first place. 

Ask.  Read and watch answers.  Keep your fingers and mouse pointers off the download button.
