• Search onboard help installed within the program you are using – under Help on menu – or try F 1
• Use Internet to help find solutions - Google the problem for on-line help if you can’t find solution in the onboard Help menu – be specific to software “add images to Picasa collage” so that results will be specific to the software you are using
• If all else fails for printers try unplugging the printer and plugging it back in again
Recommended Approaches to Software
• Check to see what software that comes pre-installed or bundled on your computer. Graphic software is often already bundled with other software on new computers. Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker are pre-installed on computers running on a Windows based operating system - if not the most recent try downloading the current version to your computer.
• Consider downloading and using Picassa for managing images on your computer and basic graphic functions.
▸ Try Open Source software if you don’t already have software for multimedia functions -
1. Open Office for general computer software -
2. GIMP, for graphics/images and
3. Audacity for sound editing and recording
4. Firefox web browser
Free Software
1. AVG - security software
2. COMODO internet security
