I think it would be a fair statement to say, that if you are going to be in the business of repairing PC's, one should be able to diagnose both hardware and software problems and keep some known good spares for swapout. IMHO, if you are going to charge $$ to fix a computer, at the very minimum be competent to the level of a A+ tech or better (not necessarily have the certs, but be able to do everything they can do ). I cannot see how someone could charge $$ without diagnosing the hardware side of it and be cosidered competent. However, if someone repair computers for free, anything goes.

Well said. BIG difference between charity and professional services. Without the right tools and knowledge, yet charging big sums of money, one is just plain incompetent and deserves all the flames for posting such as escapade.

haha...I started to but its not worth it, especially with these thick-headed numbskulls. Hasn't anyone ever worked on ANYTHING that is fubar? Don't you understand? The machine I worked on was fubar..and I wasnt about to spend alot of time on it, as I didnt want to be there in the first place, and it was not worth my time to begin with. You guys werent there, so you dont have the right to say I did a poor job. I did everything I could in my power to isolate the problem. The fact was..there was no freaking problem at all. The message was popping up for no reason. Windows File protection messages pop up when you are installing an application, or an existing application is trying to copy different versions of files that are already there. Windows is trying to protect them. Why would this message pop up when there are no applications being installed, and no applications running that would be doing this? I doubt you guys will understand though. I give up trying to get my point across to you wannabe techs.

It's Tossers like you that give us "Wannabe Techs" a bad name!
