15+ free Windows apps to help you tackle Thanksgiving tech support (Download Squad)

Nov 26th 2010 11:00AM @(Unverified) Amen to your comment! "a.) don't let anyone know you do IT support (if possible)." I moved from another town and had my PC set up and checked by a person that had done some work for my Mother. What a HUGE costly mistake! I now have what used to be a new VISTA that he turned into Windows XP because HE like it better! Circa 2000 model. Not only did I pay this "genius" to
try and fix some difficulties I had been having he completely ruined what took me years and alot of money to purchase. Now, to get it back to it's original formatting, I will have to pay again for the mistakes of a person who only dabbles in I.T. I will not even have him back in the house to even turn the thing on!

And to the poster who said: "It has been my experience that IT people have narrow band knowledge and are not all good at fixing problems that are not common to corporate networked systems." or even those whose knowledge just extends to the "weekend warrior" type who just calls themselves an I.T. professional. Just like those who need licenses to practice, like me, maybe they should all have to be licensed before they touch your computer because before you know it, it is unusable. That is not to say some will not slip through the cracks, but at least, maybe, just maybe, I would have a PC that was just like the factory made it if he only had the stones to admit this was WAY over his head!

I certainly agree with this poster in regards to a) DO NOT LET ANYONE YOU KNOW DO "IT" ON YOUR COMPUTER! I recently moved from another town and had my PC installed by someone a family member used in the past for basic, simple things. When it came to setting up and troubleshooting MY PC he totally did what he wanted turning a VISTA into Windows XP because that is what HE preferred, not me, the customer. Does it work any better? Hell no! It has been turned into what used to be a relatively new PC into a 2000 era PC. I am so angry I don't know what to do. My only recourse is to use a well known PC service to reformat the entire PC, spend MORE money after being ripped off by an "IT" person who at times asked ME how to fix my own PC. He has no idea that I am so angry but I can tell you one thing, I will never call him again even if it was to even turn the thing on.

AS to the other poster "unverified" who said:". It has been my experience that IT people have narrow band knowledge and are not all good at fixing problems that are not common to corporate networked systems. AMEN! That was certainly the case here! And if you think I got this terrible service for free or an offer to fix it correctly? The answer is NO! I paid this so called IT person the going rate and more for all the problems I guess I thought I had but it seems that he created!!!!

Just don't call yourself an "IT" professional if you don't know what the heck you are doing!
