PC ERRORS
June/July 2004 - Vol. 8, Issue 3
Smart Computing Reference Series
In an ideal world, computers would never
crash and programs would never run into
problems. Or at least, if those things did
occur, your PC would notify you about any
glitches in a way that let you quickly patch
things up and continue working.
Uh, time to wake up. PCs run into problems
all the time, and they typically respond by
sending you a message that is either indeci-
pherable or too vague to be of any use.
In this issue we translate those arcane com-
puting error messages into plain English, and
we point out potential solutions to the prob-
lem. Use this issue as a handy reference for
whenever you encounter PC errors.
