Troubleshooting

So many times people complain that the computer HATES THEM!!!

I have said it and most likely so have you.

So how do we make peace with a computer that frequently does something we don't know how to fix, or we clicked something that we don't know to undo??? That is what this section is all about. If I made money for every time I was asked the same questions over and over again, I could retire now and just build this page for fun. So listed below are going to be a bunch of short little videos that will allow you to fix common problems that we encounter interacting with this software.
