Why do people here on answers ask computer help questions without giving details?
"hi guys I'm having a problem with my mouse thingy, any help would be appreciated,thnx" WTF????
Having a driver problem then give hardware details please (make/model/etc..)
"I clicked on this and then this and my computer will not restart"
Look seriously, say what OS you're using (OS=OPERATING SYSTEM) Windows xp/Vista/7/Mac OS-x (version number)/Linux (Ubuntu/Mint/Open Suse etc..)
My apologies for ranting but I had a hell of a week fixing other peoples F**kups with stupid questions even more crazy than the ones listed above.
I could list my specks but it has nothing to do with the question. AAAARGH! please explain to me why? AH ! found the hidden bottle of Finlandia Vodka, all's cool people :D
Ok I've calmed down a lot and I understand that people who usually ask questions probably don't know what the problem is, hence the question in the first place. Even a little bit of poking around your os should tell you/them what's wrong. i.e "windows bsod- Data_Bus_Error" 90% memory issue 10% hdd issue. oh I don't know maybe I expect too much from people. I feel so sorry for auto mechanics when someone says "It makes a funny noise above 120 Kph" :(

My sentiments entirely, some people expect you to be psychic.
EDIT.
And worse still is no "added details" when you try to help by asking for them.
REPLY TO ADDED DETAILS.
I don't expect anything technical, but at least give name and model of computer and which os.
Also try to decribe the problem in plain English, not in text language.
