Most people will assume their PC is dead as soon as they see this, and it is unlikely that they will read what it says on the screen. Simply rebooting can fix the blue screen of death (or STOP error, as it is otherwise known). This problem is usually related to hardware or a driver that is not working correctly. It usually happens after you install a new piece of hardware or update some drivers. It’s helpful to tell your IT support helpdesk what you did just before the error occurred, then they can undo it or diagnose the problem.

The first step is to check the recycle bin. If that fails, your IT Support partner can help you. Good IT outsourcing companies will automatically back up all of your data, so anything you delete should be recoverable. Backup and disaster recovery solutions can restore your entire organisation’s data after a disaster – maximising business continuity.

Most commonly, being unable to print is due to two factors: the printer not being operational, or your computer not being connected to the printer. First check if the printer is turned on, and that it says on it's display: "Ready to print". If this is not working the printer is most likely powered off, or is broken, if this is the case you should contact ICT support staff. Next, click on print on microsoft office, and click "add new printer". This will search for wireless connections with nearby printers, and if the printer is operational, it should locate it and allow you to use it.

This is a common occurrence and can often send users into panic mode when they accidentally do it. However, all your work is not definitely lost. If you have Auto-Recover options enabled in Microsoft Office, then there are some easy steps to recover your work. If not, you can also search for Word backup files by clicking “open”, “computer” and then browsing to the folder where the file was last saved. You may also be able to find your file by performing a search on your computer for temporary files with a .tmp file extension or a ~ prefix.
