Find a friend that knows their way around a computer. They may be able to help. I'm sorry, but these types of problems are just too hard for anyone to help you through only text. Someone could give you an answer, yes, but it's not guaranteed to work since they have no way of looking at your computer. Be careful with asking for help on the internet since someone can give you bad information such as deleting your harddrive (yes this has been done in the past as a joke to unexperienced computer users)\n\nGood Luck!

May I suggest that you will probably get more help with this question in the Computers & Internet category, instead of Homework Help.  That category has computer buffs by the score who would jump at the chance to explain their beloved system to you.\n\nGood luck!

I also have created some form of a booklet, I understand how hard it is to find detailed information in which you can simplify and edit in your own words for someone else.\n\nI suggest you use a search engine to look up "common pc problems" and then use the answers to these for your booklet. As i said before, i have made one myself which i am emailing to you at the moment.\n\n(Please use a virus scanner to make sure the file is safe before use) \n\nGoodLuck

Well, it depends on how familiar you are with computers, really, and what sort of repair you're planning on doing.  If you mean fixing software problems for computer users in their home, well, the best learning tool is actual experience with their operating system, but there are lots of books out there that do a good job of explaining OS'es.  If you're a novice, start with the For Dummies series - that'll get your feet wet, and it's entertaining.  Then you can move onto some of the more technical books.  If you're looking strictly at hardware, I'd advise getting the book "Upgrading and Repairing PC's", and maybe the "All In One A+ Certification Exam Guide".  These are huge books, but if you read through them, they can show you what the hardware does, how to install/replace, and they're good for reference.  As far as courses, you might check out places like ITT tech or community colleges - they usually offer courses in hardware architecture.

I have been in IT for 10 years myself what you need to do is first to make a good beginer cd is to think like a begineer. I know thats a hard thing to do when ya get as much computer experance as me and you. But here are somethings you should explain. Computer hardware, What is memory, What is a CPU what does it look like whats does a motherboard look like, whats a USB port, whats a comm port, whats a Parallel port. What is a a Hard drive. What is a expanchen card. Start off with some hardware basics. Explane the computer terms in easy to understand terms like Bytes, Blocks, Kilobytes, Meg Bytes, Gigabytes. The biggest thing I hard alot of new users say like when there running out of space is I don't have enought memory explain the difference between REAL memory and a hard drive. Explain how everything is connected up. Hardware basics should be your first lession. Because if you don't you will end up being the local tech everyone calling you to fix every problem in the world. Second you should go into some details on the OS. Example what are drivers, what are drives. What are files. What do they do. how to create files, how ot cut and paste. How to move files. how to copy files. How to adjust the properties of files. How to open files. How to install most programs. Other things include some more techincal stuff on the end to help them understand the advanced techincal tech stuff like networking how to test there internet connection. how to get there computer connected to a cable modem, DSL, or cable router. how to setup a firewall. Some things how do do virus scanning. How to prevent spyware and how to scan for it. What to be aware of in email attachements. How to use the internet. How to use email. How to copy pictures to there computer. How to view them or email them off. \nThoughs are some places I would start off with if I where making a CD for new people that are tring to learn computers.

But seriously, I'm way older than 7 and have found lots of resources.  A great book to get you started is Windows XP Hacks by Preston Gralla printed by O'REILLY.  You can also do a web search for windows xp hacks.  But please always back-up you registry before you make any changes. G
