Even "computer gurus" can't figure out most problems, so here are the two strategies "we" use.

1. I can't possibly be the first or only person to run into this. So, look it up on the internet. Prefer DuckDuckGo to Google, so that I won't be bombarded with ads for janky software "fixit" programs, half of which are malware.

2. Punch every button and click every damn menu item you can find until something works.
