If you need to ask for help, please read this post. It'll indeed help you by helping us understand your problem.

1) When asking for help, MAKE SURE you absolutely, positively post your system configuration, not just some Dell or HP model number because we don't know what specifications are accociated with them.

2) Make sure you posted what operating system your running.

3) If software problem, what software was it, what were you doing at the time when the problem occured, and what exactly happened.

4) If hardware problem, make sure you post your system configuratoin, what peice of hardware(brand, name, specs, etc.), and what drivers you're using.

5) If your seeking advice for which hardware to purchase and whatnot, please read the reviews of the hardware at www.hardocp.com , www.tomshardware.com , and many others.

5) Place a descriptive topic title.

If you don't include these into your thread, you won't get a prompt answer, so don't expect one.
Thank you.

28 people did.

I'm trying to set this as a standard or something. Don't you agree it's a waste of time when people don't explain their problems?

Yeah, I do. I hate when people go "THIS PROGRAM IS NOT WORKING, TELL ME HOW TO FIX IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I feel like shooting them! :mad:

Another rule should be to place a descriptive title! :)
