Troubleshot or troubleshooted?

Dictionary.com didn't have a "troubleshooted" so I'm thinking "troubleshot", but that, I dunno, sounds kinda wierd? :eek:

Thx :D

I think it still says the same:

For ex) I was troubleshooting some circuits.

This will definetely help; the sentence it's to be used in is:

"Trouble*****, installed and configured..."

troubleshot should be the past of troubleshoot.

Well, the past tense of 'shoot' is 'shot'.

They both sound awkward, but I would go with 'troubleshot'.

using my handy dictionary toolbar in IE, I find it to be troubleshot most definitely according to Merriam-Webster.

Proactively, synergistically, and dynamically incorporated new techniques to efficiently assist management with the installation, configuration, and maintenance required to radically alter the course of the current paradigm shift, in effect bridging the gap between resource-intensive technologies to meet the seven-habits' conforming client objectives while maintaining the fine balance between supply and demand.

Er... "I fixed it."
