Expertsexchange is a real site and the very best place to find solutions to difficult and obscure computer problems. It's geared to professionals.
When I get a strange error message I put it in google, and google generally leads me to expertsexchange. You have to sign up. but so far it has been free. I guess you have to pay to post new questions.

Slightly off-topic, but in the earlier days of the web, a number of companies (usually porn-related) would homestead on
a) plausible web names for legitimate businesses
b) common typographical errors for legitimate websites
So at a Fortune 500 company I worked at, one of the VP's got in trouble when the company's web security software caught him trying to reach what was identified as a porn site. It was a squatter on American Airlines' domain, and he had been trying to book a flight...
Cheers!

A few years ago, I accidentally typed in hotnail instead of hotmail. yeah, it was a nasty porn site.

If you're ever going to upload an image and want to go to tinypic.com, don't accidentally type in tinypics.com.

The bond guy at a job I had a few years back was trying to get to eBay, and instead of typing "ebay.com" typed "ebay com" without the period.
Gay pr0n ensued.
