How do I get Windows to work? I've tried tirelessly for years to get Windows to work and it never does. Every computer I've bought I've discovered I need to buy another version of the operating system but it still doesn't work. I'm on Windows 7 now and it doesn't work. I've got a so-called "fast" machine but it invariably screeches to a crawl, locks up and needs rebooting many, many times before it kind of sort of starts working again. I have no idea how to find a so-called expert who can actually make my computer work. The operating system doesn't have anti-virus, I had to purchase that separately. It doesn't have a workable backup - I had to purchase that separately. Microsoft doesn't provide support - I have to provide that. I can't even contact Microsoft for support. I don't know if it's the OS or the Microsoft applications like Office.
Please don't provide answers that indicate I need to center my life on making my computer work. I have a computer as a productivity tool - not as something that I like to play with. I need it to work and work always.
I also need to know where to send invoices to Microsoft for the troubleshooting I've done thus far.
