Below are questions I have
received this past month through eMail and Thursday’s classroom activity.
Q: I have a brand new laptop that has a
screen that just won’t go away. And I can’t get past it.
A: It is unfortunate that some companies put
these Apps on new computers. The most recent problem I helped solve, we
followed the prompts on the Screen that wouldn’t go away. It was a program
similar to MacAfee or PC Matic. The messages lead us to believe it was going to
find and correct the several hundred errors it discovered. This is a scam. It
really is just a horrible trick to try and make you think there is something
wrong with your brand new PC. When we finally came to the “end”, we had an
option to just Quit.
Similarly, when we got onto the internet for the first time , a
pop-up appeared alerting us that our internet session was in jeopardy. And our “new computer “ was at risk of serious harm. Another Scam! Don’t
be fooled into responding to any messages. Using Google Chrome , so worked quickly
download anti virus software . We chose “ Avast Free Anti virus for Windows 10“. It protects your PC and your internet
sessions. We also downloaded CCleaner

Q: How can you print just certain pages? I
received a large document to print. But I don’t need every page.
A:
HERE IS HOW TO CHOOSE WHAT TO PRINT
CHOOSE WHAT TO PRINT
If you want to print certain pages of a document , and not the entire thing you can. Also, you
can choose not to print it in color.
When you click on Print Icon, you will see this screen. Note
all the controls are on the left edge
Destination is
the first choice; choose what printer you are using.
Next select
what pages you want to print. The default is All , however if you want to
print ( an example appears on the
screen) page 8 and 9. Enter on the screen, 8-9. If you want a mix of pages for
example, this would print some in sequence along with other choices.
Type
8-9,11,15,17,20-21 .
You are not
always stuck printing what you don’t want.
Q: Is there another website for learning about Windows 10
besides Microsoft’s ?
A: Although this link does have a lot of good information
another resource is Ten Forums. This site works best if you
create a profile. If you don’t create a profile, it works really slow and
jerky.
