Microsoft already has built in troubleshooting guides in their operating systems (and yes, I use the term loosely). Have you ever tried using one of those things? Anybody who has any technical where-with-all will have the problem fixed on their own in half the time if they are at all familiar with the problem. If they are not they will still get further faster without it. At best, I've seen tech savvy people use it for a quick lap manual. Non-technical people I've watched became simply lost in a matter of seconds. Expect a hearty API to this thing and hope, for their benefit, that the forgotten tap into it quickly and intelligently.
