Windows XP is the most popular operating system on the
planet--and the most annoying. From incomprehensible error
messages to inexplicable crashes, from wonky wireless setups
to just finding a file, Windows can make your computing life
a nightmare. But thanks to Fixing Windows XP
Annoyances, you can banish the bugs, speed up
operations, and just make Windows work right.

novices and pros, in a handy, accessible Q&A format that
