I hit my keyboard cos a hacker beat me , now it wont work so what can i do.
I found a button to open the tray but my mug is too small to sit in it , it just falls on the floor.
It says press anykey but my keyboard dont have one.
I put the disc in and after agreeing to T&C it says do i want to continue ... what should i do.
This is true ..... A guy in my I.T dept told me somebody phoned and said it says press Y(es) to continue or N(o) to stop....... I dont have a yes or no key !

Look for the underline under the letters. If it says Yes and No for examle, that means that E and O are the keys to activate those elements (buttons).

6 months ago, I deleted some data for work.
Then, I reformatted the drive.
Then, I reinstalled Windows on it, in a whole different PC.
Now, the drive is making clicking noises, and I can't access it.

I really really need those files. How can I get them back?

Last night, I was using my dads computer.
My friend told me about this free game, so I downloaded it.
The antivirus was being annoying, so I just told it to ignore, because I knew it was safe.

Now, my dad just sees this popup that says something about bitcoin, and he can't access anything on the PC.
What do I do?

My above 2, and probably anything following, are not hypothetical.
Actual issues we have seen here.

Don't touch it, it earns money for somebody. You don't want to take away somebody's income would you ? 😛

What phone or camera can I buy that will take a picture of a newspaper from 100 feet away, and let me read the text?
This must cost no more than $75.

My laptop is too heavy - can I make it lighter by deleting data?

Many years ago, a Personnel VP wanted us to code all the application text in a particular color.
I believe blue.

Why?
He read that it uses less power for the CRT monitors.

A temp admin girl came to me quite worried. She had faxed our stationery order to the supplier but used a pencil to fill in the order form.

Q. What if they rub out my order and change it?

Ok this was about 15 years ago but it still makes me smile today.

How can I delete System32? Clearly I'm using a 64-bit version of Windows, why do I need a 32-bit folder?

Also that WinSxS folder is huge! I how do I clean it up or delete it?

"I saw on utube that system32 was NOT needed. SO I deleted it."

Going back to school A-Levels, sitting on the common room. The smartest girl in the school, she had sat topics 1-2 years early and aced them and was doing more A-Levels.

Well sat there she was studying for her driving theory test. Then loud enough for the whole room to hear says “what? a car has a battery?”

where's the start button?

 

[hotaru.hino]

where's the start button?

To be fair, it hasn't been labeled "Start" for a good 15+ years.

And it hasn't looked like a button for around 10.
