• Sommario/riassunto: It's Never Done That Before is a guide to troubleshooting Windows XP for people who use computers but don't necessarily feel comfortable poking around "under the hood" to make fixes. It includes basic troubleshooting techniques, specific instructions for solving the most common problems in Windows XP, and general information for finding and fixing the more obscure ones. It also provides explanations of BIOS beep codes and blue screen errors, instructions for using the troubleshooting tools supplied with Windows XP, such as Safe Mode and the Recovery Console, and advice for dealing with device drivers, the ROM BIOS, and the Windows Registry.
