This description rang pretty true for me. My mother is much, much better about it now, but practically all of my tech support with her for a while was little more than stopping her from closing error messages immediately, then just asking her to read them. At times I was almost impressed with how quickly and accurately she could click the Cancel button. > I think one of the reasons I find computers relatively easy is that I compulsively read whatever you put in front of me. Telling my mom this is what eventually got her to read error messages instead of closing them. She had to learn not to close them and then, separately, learn to also read them. I'll admit there were times where I was on the verge of crying out of frustration, begging her to "please just read the screen" because she would leave the error, but then still not actually read it and go with: Me: "What does it say?" Mom: "I don't know." So glad things are better, now.
