I use a lot of different software programs, and often have to "fix" various problems. I enjoy helping family and friends with their computer problems too. 

Usually it simply takes some persistence, and searching with Google. There are millions of computer users, and it is likely someone else has already solved the problem for you. The key is to find the right combinations of key words. Here are the latest mysteries I have solved:
