Terms of use
By using CommonFixes you agree to the terms below. They are short on purpose.
Using the guides
The guides on this site are general information for personal, non-commercial use. You may read them, print them and share links to them freely. You may not copy the content wholesale and publish it as your own.
You decide what to do
Every computer is a little different. You are responsible for deciding whether a step suits your machine and your situation, and for backing up your files before you begin. If you are unsure, ask a qualified technician.
No guarantee
We work hard to keep the steps accurate and current, but we cannot promise that any particular fix will solve your problem, and we cannot be held responsible for loss of data, damage to equipment, or costs that follow from using this site.
Other websites and products
Where we name a program or link to another website, we do so because it is genuinely useful. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content or their behaviour.
Changes
Guides are updated as software changes, and these terms may be updated too. The version published on this page is the one that applies.
