About this product

Product Information

Windows XP is the most powerful of Microsoft's Windows software - software that's been updated many times since starting to breathe in January 1985. XP is short for Experience, but Microsoft calls it Windows XP to give it a more modern-day, "at-this-happening-moment" sound. Someday, sometime, something in Windows XP will eventually leave you scratching your head. No other program brings so many buttons, bars, and babble to the screen. Windows XP For Dummies is for everyone who has a clue about what they want to do with their computers. Bypassing the technical hoopla, this friendly reference comes to the rescue when Windows XP stumps you or when you're feeling spunky and want to dig into deeper details of the ever-popular operating system. In either case, you can expect to pick up information on Finding the file you saved or downloaded yesterday Moving those little windows around on the screen with the mouse Making Windows XP run like your older versions of Windows Starting and closing programs by clicking the mouse button Making Windows XP work again when it's misbehaving Beginning with the basics, this book explains all the Windows XP stuff that everybody thinks they already know - until the program starts tossing them stumbling blocks. Windows XP For Dummies clears the way to Navigating the new Start menu and taskbar with ease Setting up a secure Internet connection Having a good time with digital photos, music, and videos Personalizing XP for each member of your family Fixing common problems using System Restore and online resources Most people meet up with Windows XP by something other than choice. Their new computer probably came with a version already installed; maybe the workplace introduced a Windows XP update; or perhaps the latest version of their favorite program required Windows XP. Any in case, Windows XP For Dummies helps you adjust easily to the new Windows kid in town - and even enjoy his company

  • Windows 7 Ultimate = 40

    Windows 7 Ultimate = 40 doreen.skinner21@gmail.com : contact me Being a computer dummy. I find my copy of Windows XP for Dummies invaluable. Have used computers at work for the last 15 years. But after retiring I didn't have my company help desk to fall back on. Since purchasing this book I haven't run into a problem that I can't solve. Besides purchasing this book on Ebay save me a lot of money.

  • If you have a little knowledge this is great

    If you have a little knowledge about MS Windows this book is great. However, the case is if you have a little knowledge this book will not help you much. This book was written for people who have no experience in the PC environment and to understand it (like most PC related books) you must have some experience with computers. This book I feel falls right in the crack, a little too advanced for the beginner and not advanced enough for a moderately savvy individual.

  • "Dummies" book are great!

    I've tried several "Dummies" books and always find them very basic, informative, helpful and fun! They are basic enough for a beginner like me and are easy to understand so they are the best way I have found to educate myself when I feel lost in a certain area. I highly recommend !!!!!!

  • Windows XP for dummies

    This book is precisely to the point. It describes how to do things in Powerpoint. Most other books have a passion to get you confused in the procceses that you go through. As always, the Dummies books are a good buy for what you get. If you don't want to take special classes to learn how to do power point this book is the one to buy.
