Identify whether the software or hardware worked properly anytime before the call was made. Also note if
anything was changed in the system recently.

Can the user recreate the problem or is it a one-time occurrence?
Note any error messages displayed on the PC screen or file server and record the exact error message.

If running on a network, collect all pertinent information (model type, version #, network hardware, etc.)
and be prepared to share it.
