I know that's so lame, but I thought it might be funny.

Oh shizz, I didn't even see that and I make it a point to cruse your section.  I guess the doctor is right.... I should get the surgery done to uncross my eyes.  Maybe H or Jewy can strike my post so I don't look like and idiot anymore than I already am.

 
Hooter you are the man, the guy that fixed my PC wanted to install Microsoft free defender, but I bought Norton360. I am so happy I did, It does everything. I love tuneup it says everything is good for my PC and even told me to optimize things to make my PC better! You have no idea how happy I am with it! I have an Alienware gaming PC with an nvidea g 380 graphics card, I wanted to upgrade to the new 390 but he says it's not worth it, mine is just fine. Playing crysis and ghost is like watching a movie. I don't like xbox or playstion compared to playing on my PC. I have samsung 27" monitor it's so pretty! Norton even scans files and root kits which I had one on my PC which was fixed! I love your advice! Thanks so much, I think you put link up for iPhone security on jewl's place for classy ladies(?) but still can't find it! Meanwhile thanks for the heads up on Facebook link, I won't even attempt to use on my PC , don't want to mess it up again. I'll try with my non clones as my husband says, my iPad,iPhone, and AirMac Pro. The problem is I had to get an Alienware because Apple doesn't make enough games for their pcs. As you can see I'm an apple person, don't know much about dos vs Linux but my PC runs on windows and it's beautiful once again! Thanks so much, you are the man!

Hi Everyone,

This is a great thread, High Tide, full of useful info and lots of great ideas from everyone.  I am taking copious notes!

I am faced with a couple of dilemmas and maybe someone can help me out.  

1. Windows XP is end of life on 4.8.2014, meaning, don't call Microsoft, email or carrier pigeon them for info after that.  More importantly they will no longer provide security patches so one could say I am SOL for anyone I work with who stays on XP or has XP apps that don't run on Windows 7.  Windows Easy Transfer doesn't help with proprietary application compatibility and I'm stuck doing some firewall juggling so the apps can be used.   So, in effect, XP's broken and needs to be fixed.   There is no direct upgrade path from XP to Windows 7 Pro and I've got a lot of people I am responsible for getting upgraded.  I've tried going to Vista first then to Win 7 but that is causing me all kinds of other compatibility issues.  I have to do a clean build for each person.  I am using WAIK which allows me to make an image and customize the deployment which is really nice, but it doesn't help with home-grown applications that worked on XP but don't work on Windows 7.  What do I do?   Does anyone else face this?

2. This problem is not specific to any one OS platform.  Since I am responsible for a lot of people's computer problems, I have been using a mix of remote access programs to help them.  A lot of it involves showing people things from their own PC (we both have to share the same screen for training) so a VPN isn't a total solution.  I had been using Logmein Free, but those of you who use this probably got a little love letter from them recently saying it's no longer free.  I've always been a fan of Teamviewer, but they limit free sessions to five minutes and then Boom!  Bye bye.  I'm not a big fan of VNC because on Windows you have to do a one-to-one NAT to get to the endpoint by IP address even if you change the port assignment and this is a pretty nasty security vulnerability.  Also, on Linux (at least Fedora and RHE) the VNC server side won't respond after a reboot unless someone manually allows the session in Gnome, which kinda defeats the purpose.   I've been given a few month's reprieve by Logmein after which they want money to keep using it, and changing a lot of computers from one remote software to another - via a remote session - can be dicey.  Yeeesh!    Has anyone else run into this and what are you doing for free remote control?

BTW, in case you haven't guessed, no one wants to spend money so something like Citrix is not on the table.

I really like this thread, always need help from time to time and maybe I can even help once in a while so any suggestions would be appreciated!

Regards,

PR

 
In case anyone else hasn't already mentioned it..

NINITE.COM is absolutely PRICELESS when setting up new workstations!

 
AVG, also SOULseek for a free mp3 music downloading program. For getting torrents id recomend uTorrent and 7-zip for zip files

  4. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  5. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  6. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  8. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  10. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  12. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  16. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
