How to ask for help

[roy69]

People being confused also gets them angry, not anyones fault but it is human nature. Give people a little bit of leaway when replying to a post. If someone does start to get a bit harrased tell them to calm down and explain in simpler terms or give them a web link to a written document that will explain things better.

When you ask for help on vistax64, your CD or DVD drive will open. You must insert $20 if you want an answer. Insert $40 if you want the correct answer. :D

Believing this could be hazardous to your wallet, and DVD drive.

With that much I might as well buy vista all over again, I mean at 130 dollars right now my pc might upgrade itself. Does it take credit card too?...or where do I add my PIN...Lol

I agree with everything said here...it was a good thing to post this as a sticky for future reference...I even have it bookmarked for other software forums as a reference on how to make a good forum on technical issues.

Keep up the good work!!:D

Err...here's a question: Where should I ask questions regarding the forum itself, not Vista and the like?

 

[sygnus21]

You could contact one of the moderators for questions concerning the forums

Okay then, here's mine: For a reason beyond me, I cannot send PMs. I've read the FAQs but they haven't been very helpful. I'm sure the reason is simple enough, but I would appreciate it if some one could tell me what it is.

You only have a post count of 6. PM's are disabled until you reach a certain count ( possibly 10 IIRC )

Thanks Patrick for this info.

Oh, okay. I was wondering if it was something like that. The FAQs don't mention it, though...

TY Kind Sir(or Maam-whichever the case may be). I do not consider myself to be a novice, but I don't feel I'm a intermediate either...somewhere in between. Anyway, thank you for posting that cuz I know that it will help me as well as many others.
So again, thank you.

*respectful bow*

Hi yogeshagrawal, Welcome to Vista x64,

This thread is not the place to answer your question. You'll need to post your question in the appropiate forum (General Forum). Also, you should do a search here as well as Google as this question has been asked and answered thousands of times.

You could take a look at this article to get a sense of what 64-bit is about: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-news/99613-64-bit-more-than-just-ram.html

Thanks and good luck.
