Useful Links for Computer Technicians

I usually don’t link to other websites but there are a few sites out there that are really handy for computer technicians who are out in the field. Here are a few sites that I use. Computer Manuals – This place has 5260+ manuals for various computer manufacturers, parts and peripherals. They have manuals for Printers, Laptops, Networking Equipment, Uninterruptible Power Supplies, Scanners, Motherboards, Audio adapters and more. Computer Manufacturer Links – If you know the name of a computer manufacturer, this list has their web address. A handy site when you are trying to find drivers for a rare part. Shields Up! Firewall Leak Test – This website/server probes your computer looking for any open ports and vulnerabilities then creates a report. Kellys XP Tweaks – If there is a little nagging bug in Windows that you cant figure out or just want to disable something that annoys you, chances are there is a registry tweak for it here. Doug Knox XP Tweaks and Fixes – Similar to Kellys XP Tweaks. List of Open Source Software – A nicely ordered list for open source (free) software packages. More...
