Product Description
Product Description
This detailed reference shows how to install, configure, run and use Windows 95, taking into consideration hardware, software and peripheral options. It also covers interface design, telecommunications and multimedia. There are full details of Internet Explorer 4.0's revolutionary desktop environment. Windows 95 is a 32-bit operating system that is the successor to Microsoft's existing three operating systems: Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups) and MS-DOS. These three operating systems represent more than 80 per cent of the world's operating systems on PCs today. It is both powerful and simple enough that computer users now have the opportunity to try new things, from multimedia computing to Internet connections. John Levine is the author of "UNIX for Dummies" and co-author (with Margaret Levine Young) of "The Internet for Dummies". Margaret Levine Young is the author of "Dummies 101: The Internet for Windows 95".

Format:Paperback
I work at Omega Electronics Group (Stone) I had already a good understanding of computers before reading this book and i found that this book was able to teach me a thing or two. This book covers everything from the very basics of Windows98 through to the more complex tasks involved in Windows 98. It shows you how to sort out conflicts, set up hardware, build web pages, the basics of Windows98 and much much more. It also comes with a great CD-ROM which contains a quick reference guide.

Written in clear understandable language
5 April 1999
Format:Paperback
I'm new to computers and have found "The Complete Reference" is easy to use to find the help I need. I liked the CD with the click-on weblinks!!! I have have "Windows 98 for dummies" and "Dan Gookin Teaches Windows 98" and this is the most helpful by far.

The book is much better on the Registry than is Windows Help
26 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
Recently, my Win 98 Registry kept getting restored from an old backup and I had to re-install a networking driver, VPN, and a mail client several times. In evaluating the book's Chapter 40 on the Registry, I asked myself how much it would have helped me solve this problem. If I'd had the book, I would have learned I could restore the Registry from Command Prompt Only mode by running scanreg /restore. This information is not available in Windows Help on the Registry. If I had run scanreg /restore, I would have gotten a choice of backup files to restore and the dates of those files. At that point I would have discovered that one of the backup files was dated five months in the future. In short, the book would have led me to a solution to my problem, so it now has a deservedly prominent place on my bookshelf.

Real help for Me
27 July 2001
Format:Paperback
This is a book I use every day. It is there when I am lost and have that"I don't know a thing," feeling. It also keeps me from the dreaded 800 -wait until your hands fall asleep -or the "On-line," help-where you get lost in the maze of "did this helps".
