From boot-up to shutdown, keyboard to network adapter, hard disk to modem, PC/XT to P6, DOS to Windows 2000 and Linux, and CONFIG.SYS to REGEDIT, Troubleshooting Your PC Bible, Fifth Edition, is the definitive PC solution and reference guide. This wonderfully comprehensive, highly readable book promotes self-maintenance, guides technical support, and helps you improve system performance, setup and repairs. This expanded fifth edition includes coverage of Windows Millennium, Windows 2000, Linux, the Internet and more.
A generally useful text that is like a supplement to this series' Complete Guide to Upgrade and Repair, and though it rates a general five stars, in my opinion, it is more like a slightly outdated manual for the rapidly advancing industry. I don't know how any large books can keep up with this field, because by the time they are written and published most of the equipment they cover will be outdated. This is like a background text and you have to go to the web sites to view the latest information and changes. You have to do your own work, at some point, and can't have it spoon-fed to you. I'd recommend the book for this price and don't agree with the fellow who gave it two stars, which is a very harsh rating and speaks of superiority in a way. All of us regular guys will find the book useful.
