The following guidelines will greatly increase your chance of receiving the help you seek when posting a question or problem.
Please ALWAYS start your own thread.
It's fine to link to an older thread with a similar problem but please don't add a new post to an old thread. That can cause confusion and lead to delays.
Please make sure to include the following items, in your initial post:
Operating System : You may be posting is a specific Windows® forum but there are different versions you could be using. Please post what version of the software and what architecture: (x86) 32bit or (x64) for 64bit systems. Also indicate if the software is up-to-date with all MS Updates.
Problem Description : Include a full description and any circumstances related to the problem. Please don't forget to include any error messages and codes. Microsoft Error Codes can help considerably in our diagnosis of your problem.
Troubleshooting History : List any troubleshooting steps that have already been taken to solve the problem along with the result of each step. It's helpful if they are listed in the order they were implemented.
Search this and other online Forums for information regarding your problem before posting; it may be that someone else has had this ‘problem’ before. We ask you to please search all relevant Forums using the ‘Search' button. Keep messages ‘on topic’, and don't 'cross-post' (preview your post before submitting it, as there may have been another post that made it there first.)
Post in the appropriate forum for your topic : Please post in only one forum... Please don't post similar messages in multiple forums. If it is determined the post would make more sense in a different forum, a Staff member may move it.
Please use a meaningful topic title : Make it clear what the problem is in the 'Topic Title' field, for example, "Internet Explorer Crashes" not just "help!!!!!!!!!!!”. You can also use the 'Topic Description' field below that, to expand your description.
Please post your level of ability with computers in general. It can make a difference in how members post any help instructions.
Above all, remember, that this is a volunteer, public site … people that help you do so because they enjoy it, they do not receive any compensation for their help. Pleas be patient and allow them time to research and reply. Thank you, in advance, for your cooperation.
