Diagnosing and Repairing Problem Hardware and Peripherals

Abstract

Getting hardware devices to work with your PC should be a simple matter of plugging the device in, or connecting to it across the network, and getting going. But guess what… it’s very often not that simple. At least long gone are the days of parallel and serial devices (well, except for some engineering and other specialist applications) where configuring a device often meant the manual editing of text configuration files, and configuring multiple settings in the Windows Device Manager and on the device itself to get everything to work.
