Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.

Here at the public library as unable to "open" an emailed "scheduled" for a volunteer-position. Evidently the info. was not posted publicly, as was unable to access with multiple info. entered into search box. The prob. is an old Compaq using "bare-minimum" AOL service with autumn '05 added memory and tech-support (modem into the "shop" for "additional-support/update needed." Sure many in my situation. Arrived at this page "MSN" entering "MSWRD832.CNV" into search. This is apparently my prob. and it apparently is not "only" my problem for the amount of fixes/info/links for this search-term. Wouldn't it be easier to have "this group" (older users, older computers, we are slow, computers are slow...life is slow) all "happier" by giving us an option to auto-download (well, if we can figure out how to ever find those downloads that we downloaded...laugh), or at least, a list of instructions we can "see" at the same time we are opening the indicated tools needed to make those changes? I am now, "here" right below the above message, seeking remedy for the above problem as stated in this 11-08-04 mail to your site. Will be here, for a bit, seeking MSN's remedy (if, indeed, it appears at this site!). Thank you for your time to make this box avail for end-users who are not tech-savy! G
