What say you?

Thanks for the post.

I have a friend who is using "dialup". Yes he does....and he is looking at buying a Toshiba C50-B1503 Laptop.

Can he add a phone line port to it?

If not, how about a desktop?

Would this work? http://www.ebay.com/bhp/usb-dial-up-modem

I did create new restore point and I do have a "Slave" drive that I backup to every two hours for my data. However, if the computer itself goes wonky I'd like to be able to go back a couple days.

Thanks for the reply.

thewolfe

Also, the new machine. I'm having trouble with has "Status" as "Ready" and my old machine that's working okay has "Queued" And another point, . This is a new Dell machine and I have not use their 'Backup and Recovery" program. might I do that since I don't have any restore points?

thewolfe

I was trying to create a restore point every couple of days and it wasn't doing it. So I went into the "task" Scheduler" and tweaked it a bit. Now I went in today to "System Restore' to see if there were any new restore points made. And not only were there no new restore points made, but there also ...

Looking at a Dell that has Win 7 Pro & Win 8.1 Pro. How does that work? Are they both installed on the computer?

thewolfe

Any downside to Win 8 with Classic Shell?

thewolfe

Thanks, I think I'm going to stay away from Win 8. Have they said when Win 10 is supposed to come out?

thewolfe

I'm thinking about buying a new computer and wondered what OS I should get. What say you?

And what about 10 installing on 7?

I did run MB...nothing! Should I be looking for viruses?

A friend's Windows 7 64 bit computer is not updating Windows and I get this message error 80070002. I have tried the "readiness tool". Start and stopped the Windows update services and run the "fix it" tool. Also, the "automatic troubleshooter". And KB 947821 info. Any other suggestions?

thewolfe

I'm running 2003 also and it works like a charm although it doesn't had all the new "bells and whistles".

thewolfe

A friend is running Vista and Word 97 and after he creates Word doc and names it with upper & lower case letters and then closes and re-opens the file the name changes to all lower case.

Any ideas?

And further more. If I refresh on the main computer the tabs do show up in History of the second compter.

thewolfe

Well, I just tried my formula for getting tabs on the second computer and none of the new tabs on my main computer showed up on the list for my second computer. Back to the drawing board.

thewolfe

Well, I sort of got it. When you SyncNow on the main computer and then go to the second computer and click on the Firefox icon in the Tools bar there is History and there there is "Tabs from other devices" that opens up a window but no tabs but also under History are a bunch of website. If you click ...

thewolfe

I'm trying to FF sync so my other computer will have same tabs. I have setup up accounts on my main computer and another computer. Instruction says Tool/SyncNow on main computer and then go to second computer and and go to History?Tabs from other devices. No tabs change on second computer. Also said ...

thewolfe

Sorry for the delay but I got them all synced. I had to (for some reason) share again all folders on other computers with my main computer. Don't know why sharing got changed but all is well.

thewolfe

All computers are Win 7

thewolfe

I found this for "Users (DougSpare....." and the top 3 permissions weren't checked so I checked them and hit OK and got the error message.

Would this have any part in "Main" not seeing "Spare"?

thewolfe

If the Main can't see the others, where should I look. it would seem to be a "Main" problem.

thewolfe

I have 4 computers' "Main" on Work - Network 5 "Spare" on Work - Network 2 "3rd comp" on Work - Network 2 "Laptop" on - Home network (wireless) All networked computers can "see" all 4 computers EXCEPT Main can not access any of the other 3 computers. Would it have anything to do with "Network 5" on ...

thewolfe

Gott'r done! Thanks.

thewolfe

Thanks, I'll look into that and see if that's one of my options.

thewolfe

Also WEP key wasn't ticked.

thewolfe

Had a couple of wireless devices but I figured out what they were. Kindle and printer. DA!

thewolfe

I have a friend who uses laptops and wanted to ck to see if someone was using his wifi.

I had a program but don't remember what it was. Any ideas?

thewolfe

Thanks!

thewolfe

I'm looking for a free wifi hotspot I can install on my wired laptop so I can use my wifi only iPad.

I use to use Connectify that worked well but it's no longer free.

thewolfe

Yep it was set to save contacts. Thanks!

thewolfe

This is Yahoo, but I'll check

thewolfe

a friend was corresponding with some vacation rental places and she discovered that their e-mail addresses ended up in her contact list. And there was more than one company that had done it.

Have you heard of this?

thewolfe

Very good, thanks. Don't see a downside at this point.

thewolfe

I can't get Firefox sync to actually transfer tabs but you can setup computers to run Firefox sync, click on Tools/Sync now and then type "about:sync-tabs" in browser and it will bring up tabs open on the other computer which you can then click on and they will open in "your" Firrefox browser. That ...

I have always been able to duplicate my Firefox setup on another of my computers but it's not working now. (Tabs, bookmarks, position of menu....) I would copy my profile (see below), copy it to the 2nd computer and then rename it to the profile name on that computer. Now it won't do that. Windows 7 ...

thewolfe

Thanks for the info. I have my computer password protected (not BIOS) but if some one stole the computer, number one, I assume they could bypass it if they knew what they were doing. But if they couldn't then all they would have to do is take the slave out and add it to another computer. Encrypting ...

thewolfe

I have a "slave" drive that I backup all my data to daily. Is there a way to lock that data down and still have an every 2 hour backup to it?

thewolfe

Always looking for a new easy solution. Oh well. Thanks!
