but I'm wondering whether a dummy can do it herself,

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I can't stand it when people approach IT like this. You're not a dummy! Nobody here is a dummy! Using terms like that belittles everyone involved in the process. Sure, maybe some of people know more about computers than others, that does not make them inherently smarter and it absolutely does not make you or anyone else inherently a dummy.

We all share the capacity to learn and when you put yourself down like that, it makes it all but impossible for you to have the confidence to try to fix it on your own. Which, obviously, you were able to tackle the problem and you're not a dummy!
