Anybody know of any interactive Forums like these for help with PC Windows/ Programs? I've seen the 'official' Microsoft Help area, but would like something that provides input from real uses.

Try the DejaNews site, John. Many, many topics including computer tech stuff with a large quantity of responses to questions by actual users.

Depending on what your ISP subscribes to, you may be able to locate these with a standard newsreader:

alt.ibm.pc.hardware
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.systems
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.video
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.misc
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage

The 'ibm' in the name dates back to when all PC's were considered 'IBM' standard - which basically means they use Intel (or clones), and ISA, PCI, and/or AGP bus. They apply to anything considered a 'PC' with the vast majority oriented toward PCs using an MS operating system.
Rod's suggestion is a very good one

http://www.dejanews.com is a newsgroup search engine. I've had v. good luck searching on product or model numbers.

Microsoft's Knowledge Base is also very good for MS products. In case others want the URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/
