Microsoft Trouble-Shooter
The Personal Online Support page takes Microsoft's Knowledge Base and adds to it two things that really help people like you and me: 1) a collection of "troubleshooters", and 2) a wizard called "Ask Maxwell". Troubleshooters are a collection of questions and answers that lead you through the process of diagnosing and fixing your computer. Ask Maxwell is actually an Ask Jeeves interface that lets you search through Microsoft's tech documents by asking plain English questions.
