It is important that you include a detailed description including as much information as possible. Please include your OS, any steps you took, and any error messages. Error messages might not mean anything to you, but to an expert they are a source of useful information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simply record the essential information and send the message along. Too much needless detail can delay how quickly the issue is resolved and add to your frustrations.<\/p>\n
