Hey all!  I am very new at all of this and have some serious (but prolly silly) questions to ask.  Is there someone out there willing to help a total newbie?  Please PM me, I don't want to completely humiliate myself just yet... 

If you are posting about issues with the X series, this is the wrong forum. Please post in the X series forum above this one. Don't worry about the questions you have, everyone has to start at some time. Post away, but you may need to post information about your hardware and OS.

This forum is only useful by sharing issues and solutions so other people can benefit. 
When we help you, we also help many others who search for issues using Google. 
 
As SCook has asked, go to your user control panel and add your system information as it is very important to those helping. Other wise you will be asked. This is the forum for the older version as he said.
