Start With the Problem
What's Going Wrong?
Pick the one that sounds closest. If none fit, just call and describe it.
Windows or Software Problem
Error messages, updates that won't finish, programs that crash, or a computer that won't start at all.
Virus, Malware or Scam
A frightening pop-up, a suspicious phone call, or a computer that's behaving strangely.
Printer or Wi-Fi Problem
Printer says "offline", the scanner won't connect, or the Wi-Fi drops in half the house.
Lost Files or Photos
Deleted photos, a clicking hard drive, or a laptop that died with your documents on it.
General Computer Help
Setting up a new laptop, moving your files across, email trouble, or someone patient to explain it.
