What field in computers is best for me?

September 28, 2009

ok I am having trouble figuring out what computer field is best for me? Here’s what i’d like to do:

– computer repair (hardware repair, replacement, installation, and software install/useage, ect) similar to that of a technical support specialist/computer repair specialist
– networking
– problem solving/diagnostic work (cleaning out viruses, finding out why something isn’t working, ect.)
– security (making sure systems are secure, ect)

Personally I like repairing computers and the problem solving…but i didn’t like the sound of a computer repair specialist or comp. technician due to the low salary compared to other computer careers. I wasn’t sure if an IT specialist would exactly cover the majority of this.

Plz help me!! What computer career would be good for me!

computer repair estimate costs???

September 14, 2009

Roughly how much would it cost for a small business to get the following done to their HP laptops by a computer repair firm (11 HP laptops):

-reformat HDDs
-install windows XP
-install adobe acrobat
-install an anti-virus programme
-install MS office
-run a full diagnostic
-clean the exterior of the PCs

how much would it cost, excluding any transportation costs, and costs of buying the software?
what would be the average cost? is per PC (0 total) a good deal for buyer and seller?
i know i could do all this by myself…i am doing it for someone else…just wanted to make sure i was giving them a good deal, but not too good.

oh well, no such thing as too low of a price as long as we stay afloat.

Policies of antivirus, antispyware, registry cleaners, etc?

June 28, 2009

I know most of these programs designed to clean your computer and getting it to run most efficiently allow a set number of computers to install the program at one time (if you bought it). Does this mean you can install it on multiple computers if you uninstall after scanning/removing in say a computer repair business? If antiviruses can only be installed a set number of times, how do businesses offer virus removal/etc services?

Can software be loaded into Windows XP if the hardware device for DVD/CD-Rom drive has a error code 41?

June 17, 2009

I bought new software yesterday for my computer but am unable to install it because I get an error code #41 in the CD-Rom drive (Windows XP). Is there a way I can fix this myself without having to pay over 0 for a computer repair person to do it?
