Troubleshooting Windows® 7 Inside Out: The ultimate, in-depth troubleshooting reference (Paperback), April 30 2011
By Rockster - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Troubleshooting Windows 7 Inside Out: The ultimate, in-depth troubleshooting reference (Paperback)
This is about the most comprehensive book I have found that discusses Windows 7 features and capabilities in an easy to read format. All the bases seem to be covered to make anyone upgrading to Windows 7 or anyone just starting out with Windows 7 to become comfortable with the new operating system and to get the best out of it. There is even a section in the book covering the basic components of PCs, how to clean your PC, identifying the different parts. Great for newbies who want to know a little about their computer. The book has great tips for optimum configuration, diagnosing problems, setting security, disaster recovery, common annoyances and how to get around them. This is a great reference book that the beginner or advance PC user will want to keep handy. There is so much information in this book that even the die hard computer geek who thinks he/she knows everything about computers should find something here that they didn't know and can put to good use.

Troubleshooting Windows 7 Inside Out, Oct 7 2011

This review is from: Troubleshooting Windows 7 Inside Out: The ultimate, in-depth troubleshooting reference (Paperback)
Whatever happened to good editing?I got this book (and a couple of others) to be at my side as I installed Win 7. So far it's the one I've used the least, not only because I find more meat in the other ones I've used (see below for what else I referenced), but mainly because the index is all screwed up.
EXAMPLE: I look for PAGE, PAGING, not found. I look for VIRTUAL MEMORY, I find that, and choose to head for the 'settings 389' ref. Well page 389 is all about screenshots for DATA COLLECTOR SETS. I can't say where 'settings' is, because I gave up and went to another book. You know, when dealing with learning a new OS, relating the new to the old, being stumped by stuff, there are lots of brain cells firing. A helpful book should be ready with its answers, not bent on throwing another toe stubber at its audience.
Some may say that is a minor irritant, but if I've already got an irritant, courtesy of Windows 7, do I need another one from the help!?
Think about the mental parallel that may be drawn here (consciously or not): O'Reilly published this with the authorization of MS and the latter's name is plastered all over the book. Is this a subtle message about the OS, i.e. 'yeah, it's mostly good, just a slight bit off base'.
I still plan to read the book more thoroughly. If I have anything to say that may be in any way useful, I'll return with more impressions. Hope this adds perspective to others' search for a reference book.
Other books I used: WINDOWS 7 ANNOYANCES - helpful, but not a stand alone for me.
WINDOWS 7 the definitive guide - yeah..., it's ok. Sometimes the 'do it this way' directions, seemed a little muddy, on the whole, I don't think it deserves the bashing it gets in some of the reviews on its page.
WINDOWS 7 the missing manual - good support for 'Annoyances'. More reading necessary to rate.
After all is said and done, I am grateful for all the info people put into these books. I plan to spend lots of time with each one as I get to know W7 more.
If one is willing to read, research, experiment, there is still plenty to get out of these books.

Troubleshooting Windows 7, Aug 30 2011
By Truth Hurts Sometimes - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Troubleshooting Windows 7 Inside Out: The ultimate, in-depth troubleshooting reference (Paperback)
Most books on Windows operating systems are filled with introductory usage, basic descriptions of how to use and a general exploration of the product. Too often, they tacitly imply that nothing ever hangs, falters or breaks.However, this book is for those who already have a good understanding of Windows 7, but need the know-how to troubleshoot and determine appropriate solutions when something goes wrong. Without wasting time with unnecessary words, it cuts through the fluff and basics, getting directly to the heart of many common problems and offers various solutions. This edition is not quite on par with the book "Windows 7 Annoyances" -- the David Karp series by O'Reilly Publishing -- but it complements that book very capably with a different perspective and some different issues and solutions. Together they would make one very good volume on troubleshooting -- and most importantly, saving valuable time otherwise spent researching probable causes and solutions. Servicing business servers, network issues and user PCs is part of my profession. Recommended for intermediate to advanced users.
