  My trip to Windows hell...and back
Time: 11:47 EST/16:47 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

One of the projects I have so far managed to put off this summer is writing a book about troubleshooting Microsoft Windows. I have a publisher and a contract and if I'd turn in a first chapter they'd even send me a check. Finish the book and I'd collect royalties. So why haven't I started the book? Probably because of the futility I sometimes feel when troubleshooting my own Windows systems. I've always been able to make things better, but often I can't say for sure what fixed the problem or even what the exact trouble was in the first place.
