Since there are many different problems that can occur with an OS, there is not one type of step that can be done, but often with a simple process of elimination, the problem can be solved. With newer users and tech, a though process is often needed, yet with a more knowledgeable technician, they have the benefit of experience.

When conducting maintenance of a PC, one can help save costly fixes in the future, as well as safeguarding your information saved on your PC. Troubleshooting techniques for operating-system-related problems There are basically two different types of ways one can determine what needs to be fixed with an operating system: Trial and-error and systematic troubleshooting. “Trial-and-error troubleshooting is based on the idea that you have a problem and do not have enough information to give you a viable starting point. The trial-and-error method is a great for attempting to solve intermittent problems. When you use trail-and-error troubleshooting, begin by asking yourself, "What might work? What can I try?" You make assumptions based on the information that you do have”...

It also allows you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the computer's language. Without an operating system, a computer is useless” (GCF LearnFree.org, 2015). Operating Systems (OS) allow the user to interface with the computer and make use of the many productivity tools available.

...Helen Ross, Network Technician Currently concerned with upgrading the schools printing scheme. They have over 50 printers and wants to consolidate them. The network also is experiencing latency due to collision and filled print queues. For this issue I would recommend the use of a Print Server, and RAID. The addition of a print server will allow the school to consolidate to using a smaller amount of printers. Utilizing a print server will allow a centralized location to manage all print jobs. Once the server receives the job, it will then forward the job to the corresponding printer. Helen also mentioned there was a significant amount of collisions being detected within the network. Each device will be mapped to an assigned printer within its quadrant. However, when its time to print instead of the message going directly to its assigned printer, the printer server will receive the request. Then it will make sure there aren’t any other request or jobs waiting before new job prints. Using a print server will greatly reduce the amount of congestion on the network and will also allow your organization to consolidate from 50 computers to just a few.

...Management Preparatory Assignment Case Study 2 1. As Steve Ballmer, you are faced with managing consumer perceptions of Windows 7 in the wake of the public relations failure of Vista. In devising the advertising campaign, what would the ad message focus on during the launch of Windows 7? Consider the following questions as you formulate an answer. Should special consideration be given to restoring negative perceptions of the Microsoft brand? Should marketing focus on the features and qualities of Windows 7, or address its improvements over Vista and it's superiority to a Mac OS in the advertising campaign? Should Microsoft highlight Windows 7's new features or its usability? 2. In terms of pricing, should Microsoft vary the price for those upgrading their current operating system from XP or Vista versus those purchasing the operating system on a brand new computer? 1. As it is described in the case, Microsoft was facing major difficulties in the wake of the launch of Windows 7. The main problem was that the previous Operating System, Windows Vista, was a commercial and critical failure, causing Microsoft to constantly losing Market shares. Microsoft had to understand what made Vista such a failure in order to recover from the previous debacle. One of the main mistakes made by Microsoft was thinking that innovation (numerous new features such as highly-hyped Aero) brought by the new system would easily outweigh the potential losses XP system. Only, Microsoft did not foresee that...

...Emotiv should pursue the PC platform to launch in the beginning, due to: * Highly involved customer segment of teen and adult hard-core gamers being technophiles who are early adopters, can appreciate complexity of brain control interface games, serving as good incubators for the newly launched technology, and habitually investing in upgrading their P.C.s and gadgets, are less price sensitive, thereby justifying the higher retail price of 399$ and favouring their added expense for EmoKey software package for enhanced backward compatibility, ensuring a better t gaming experience for them. * Emotiv saves on royalty fees of 3-5% in exchange for software kit development costs and installation driver development costs, leading to higher contribution and fewer losses in year 1 and in year 2. * It is also worth investing in the out of box experience by Demiurge, since it would give the user a feel for the capabilities of the newly introduced technology of thought controlled interactivity, thereby shrinking the learning curve of new users and facilitating adoption. * Winning preference with game developers: with high margin incentives and no royalty fees, the PC gaming market is in itself attractive to game developers. With Microsoft windows OS. being a widely accepted system, it simplifies design and programming, facilitating game developers to develop blockbuster games around this technology and encourage sales of EPOC. * Launching in the p.c. market would build...
