The best PC how to books I have used are "Upgrading your Pc" by Linda
Rohrbaugh, IDG Net publisher and "Running Microsoft Windows 95" by Craig
Stinson, Microsoft Press, publisher.
Rohrbaugh book has lots of photos of the inner workings of a PC: perfect for
the newbie and one who is experienced. Stinson may have an Windows 98
version of his book. It addresses Windows use in a clear, specific style.
Good luck finding commercial manuals that deal with Windows error messages.
I have not found one yet. The Microsoft Knowledge Base used to be a good
on-line resource for that type of info. Since they have revamped their site
it is not so easy to find. Here is a link to the Personal Support Center:

Hope this helps.

Subject: WC:>: PC how-to book
Dave and I bought a basic instruction book for our new PC named "Easy
Windows98." It's a nice little book but very basic. Can any of you suggest
a book that would take us to the next level of gaining a modest
understanding of how the innards of the PC works and, most importantly, how
to troubleshoot typical problems, how to deal with error messages, etc? We
are nervous about being so totally klewless, especially after years of
troubleshooting our own Macs.
thanks, Suz
