When someone says a "glitch" caused a problem    on your computer, this is technical talk which means we have    absolutely no idea what caused the problem. When your computer    glitches, it may freeze up completely, or it may be just one    thing won't work right.

    

A glitch can be caused by a power fluctuation (that gets by    your power bar), a design flaw in a program (which is not your    fault), by static electricity, a circuit starting to fail, and    other causes.

    

All computers glitch once in a while. This is normal, and    this not your fault.

    

If you get a minor glitch, close the program you are using,    and run that program again. If this doesn't work, shut down your    computer (by telling it you are going to shut it down), turn    the power off, wait 5 seconds, and turn your computer back on    again. If it is still not working properly, contact Family Center IT Support.
