I rebuild Used Laptops for people who cannot afford A Computer!!
I rebuild used Laptops for people who cannot afford new ones. Yes, $500.00 for a new Desktop PC at Wal-Mart is still beyond some people's reach. I do this for free.
People donate their old Laptops to me and I use either the parts or the whole computer. I have a special computer set aside with removable trays so I can put in the old hard drive and do a clean DOD, preventing old information from being used by someone else. I would think people with old Laptops who are techies would consider doing this also for people who need them. Want to reformat your Laptop in order to clear personal information? Click Here And Ask Me and I Will Send You The Step By Step Instructions!
I often give away the repaired Laptops, or charge only what money I need to repair them. Many are for elderly people on social security who would like to own one but simply can't afford it and many are for (Parents and Grand Parents with Sons/Daughters or Grand Sons/Grand Daughters in Iraq.) Many of our deployed military personnel have email capability because I have helped several of them repair problems with Laptops and Sand. Those two items don't play nice together!!
There are One Rest Home Left in the local area that I would like to supply a small Four PC network to and hope to finish these by the first of next year. For this to happen I need your help. Buying a new PC? Send your old one to me. It is a very easy thing to do and you will never realize how happy this can make the folks that I help.
You are saying Why Laptops? When I started doing this I used desktop PCs but Shipping Weight has become a problem for People so I went to Laptops.

I rebuild Used Laptops for people who cannot afford A Computer!!
I rebuild used Laptops for people who cannot afford new ones. Yes, $500.00 for a new Desktop PC at Wal-Mart is still beyond some people's reach. I do this for free.
People donate their old Laptops to me and I use either the parts or the whole computer. I have a special computer set aside with removable trays so I can put in the old hard drive and do a clean DOD, preventing old information from being used by someone else. I would think people with old Laptops who are techies would consider doing this also for people who need them. Want to reformat your Laptop in order to clear personal information? Click Here And Ask Me and I Will Send You The Step By Step Instructions!
I often give away the repaired Laptops, or charge only what money I need to repair them. Many are for elderly people on social security who would like to own one but simply can't afford it and many are for (Parents and Grand Parents with Sons/Daughters or Grand Sons/Grand Daughters in Iraq.) Many of our deployed military personnel have email capability because I have helped several of them repair problems with Laptops and Sand. Those two items don't play nice together!!

I rebuild Used Laptops for people who cannot afford A Computer!!
I rebuild used Laptops for people who cannot afford new ones. Yes, $500.00 for a new Desktop PC at Wal-Mart is still beyond some people's reach. I do this for free.
People donate their old Laptops to me and I use either the parts or the whole computer. I have a special computer set aside with removable trays so I can put in the old hard drive and do a clean DOD, preventing old information from being used by someone else. I would think people with old Laptops who are techies would consider doing this also for people who need them.
I often give away the repaired Laptops, or charge only what money I need to repair them. Many are for elderly people on social security who would like to own one but simply can't afford it and many are for (Parents and Grand Parents with Sons/Daughters or Grand Sons/Grand Daughters in Iraq.) Many of our deployed military personnel have email capability because I have helped several of them repair problems with Laptops and Sand. Those two items don't play nice together!!
There are several Rest Homes in the local area that I would like to supply small four PC networks to and hope to finish these by the end of the year. For this to happen I need your help. Buying a new PC? Send your old one to me. It is a very easy thing to do and you will never realize how happy this can make the folks that I help.
You are saying Why Laptops? When I started doing this I used desktop PCs but Shipping Weight has become a problem for People so I went to Laptops.

Information You Should Have Available Before Calling For Any Type Customer Support!

2006-02-23T13:02:00.000-05:00

First and foremost (If your computer is still under warranty don't call me! Call the company that sold it to you). Now on with the show! You may end up spending a fair bit of time on the phone before you actually get the opportunity to speak to someone when you call for technical support. Once you get someone on the line, your objective and that of the person taking the call is usually pretty much the same: get the problem resolved and get off the phone. (The problem is when you end up with a technical support person who wants to skip the first part and just get to getting off the phone.) When using my Phone support I will usually ask the Customer to send an inventory report using Everest or Belarc Reporting Software before even trying to trouble shoot a problem on there computer. You can find out more about this software and support at:http://www.internetfixes.com/phone_support.htm As I mentioned at the beginning of this article (if your computer is still under warranty don't call me! Call the company that sold the computer to you)The best way to ensure that your technical support session goes smoothly and quickly is to have all the information that you will need for the session available for the technical support person before they get on the line. Doing your homework in advance is important, especially if you are paying for the call.The type of information you will be asked for depends to some extent on what sort of company you are calling, and what kind of problem you are having with your PC. Obviously if your problem is a flaky hard disk, you're much more likely to be asked about your hard disk interface and other storage devices than about your mouse or sound card. The following items are however general information that will be of use in most cases: 1. Hardware Configuration: You should be sure that you know the basic hardware that is in your PC. If it is a branded PC, the brand and serial number. If possible, it is good to know specifically the motherboard type and version number, processor type and speed, amount of level 2 cache, amount and speed of memory, number and size of hard disks and other storage devices, and the video card type and amount of video memory.2. Software Configuration: Find out the version number of your operating system. Print out your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. Make sure you have a handle on what software is installed in the system.3. Current System Status: Examine each of your hard disks to see how much free space they have. Find out what software is being loaded when Windows starts up. Look up the version numbers of the key drivers you are using for your video card and other devices. Think back to the last time the system was scanned for viruses, scanned for file system errors, and backed up. 4. System Resources: It is helpful to many technical support efforts if you can identify all the devices in the system and what resources they are using. (The exercise of compiling the list may help you find the problem at any rate, since it may expose a resource conflict.) 5. Specific Information: Augment the list with information that is relevant to the particular problem at hand. For example, for a modem problem you might be asked what kind of communications software you are using and what initialization string you are sending to the modem before dialing. For a specific software application problem, you will want to know the version number of the software, what directory it is installed in, etc.Gary Chambers

Lets Cover Dealing With XP Restore and Repair Issues!

2006-02-20T10:38:00.000-05:00

If you are like me you don’t like to hear the words Restore and Repair when working on a computer!  It happens to all of us and I hope the following tips will you’re your next repair or restore a little less pain-full especially if you are working on a dead line!

Microsoft has provided us with specific tools to help us deal with these situations. While this may seem like very little comfort when compared to XP's many shortcomings, these tips can often keep a bad day from getting a lot worse, if you know what I mean.
I will start by looking at some tips and utilities for dealing with XP issues before jumping into a XP reinstall.

Last known good config:

Always the easiest to try first before settling for a reinstallation of Windows XP. Reboot the PC and tap F8 while you wait for boot options to be displayed for you. Once there, choose "Last known good configuration."

System restore:

In some cases, a reinstallation can be avoided by using system restore. If you are unable to get system restore to work from within safe mode, you can try to access it from within a command prompt. You do not need to leave safe mode to do this, just follow these instructions closely:

1. Reboot into safe mode with a command prompt.
2. Get to an administrator account so that you have the needed permissions to get things done.
3. At the command prompt, type: %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
4. Follow the instructions to restore your PC to an earlier state of operation.

Recovery console:

The XP recovery console can be a very useful utility when employed with care. There are a variety of situations where having access to it can be really handy. In fact, you need to get access to it before we go any further.
1. Reboot from the Windows XP CD. Once you arrive at the welcome screen, choose "R" for recovery.
2. You will be asked which Windows installation you wish to access. Choose the appropriate number.
3. Now a prompt for your administrator password will appear. Enter it and continue (if no password, press enter).

Now we are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work. While at the console, you can type help for a list of available commands that are at your disposal. For example, you can repair a messed up boot sector by typing FIXBOOT and then typing enter afterward. If you are having difficulty booting up because of a messed up ntldr file, however, then you might need to replace it by typing:

COPY E:\i386\NTLDR C:

(Keep in mind this is assuming that E: is the correct drive letter for your CD ROM drive). Once you have repaired what you have needed to from the recovery console, simply type EXIT at the prompt to leave and restart Windows.
When all else fails, sometimes reinstalling is the best medicine. Below, I will look at two very different methods to accomplish this.

Repair installation:

Running a repair install of Windows XP can be a handy way of fixing the installation of XP without having to start totally over and deleting important data from your PC. To do this type of install, simply follow these instructions.

1. Boot from your XP installation CD.
2. At the welcome screen, choose enter.
3. Once at the license agreement, press F8.
4. At the next screen, choose to repair the selected Windows XP installation by pressing R.
5. The files will begin to install and then your PC will reboot. During the reboot you will be presented with option of booting from the CD again by pressing any key. Don't press anything. Allow it to finish the install without booting from the CD again.

Full reinstallation of Windows XP:

If all else fails and you are ready to completely delete everything on your hard drive, then you are ready to do a full reinstallation.
You will be erasing everything, so make sure you already have a backup of any important data before you continue. Follow the instructions above 'til you arrive at step 4. At that point, choose to continue installing a fresh copy of XP on your system and NOT the repair option.

On The Soap Box This Week Folks!

On The Soap Box This Week Folks!

Had a reader last week who was having a bad week and decided I would be the one he would vent on!  The first part of the email contained a complaint about a tip that didn’t work in one of my Newsletters.  I quickly tested the tip and could find nothing wrong with it.  The rest of his email contained questions on problems he was having with XP Pro and XP Home on a LAN and some hardware that should never be used with XP Home!

Now I invite questions.  That is what my website is about.  Here is the long and the short of this article!  If you have a small LAN setup that you are using for Work (Your Weekly Income!) don’t mix XP Home and XP Pro!

Pick up a copy of XP Professional Upgrade for $199 if you're looking for the advanced networking features, etc!  I have included the upgrade instructions below for those of you that haven’t followed the process before.

Back up all data and settings
The first step along the upgrade path is to back up all your data, settings, and anything else you can't compute without.

After you've fully backed up all your important files and settings it's time to begin.

Insert your upgrade disk into your CD-ROM. You'll notice the CD-ROM will automatically launch the installation menu. For now, minimize the menu. We're going to look at something else:
Read 1st.txt.

Read first file
The Read1st.txt file is located in the Docs folder of your XP CD-ROM. Start by locating this file and examining its contents. The Read1st.txt file will contain last-minute information that didn't make it into other documentation and a roadmap on which to find other useful XP information.

Now that you've become close to all of XP's readme files it's time maximize the installation menu and proceed.

XP Upgrade: Step-by-Step Instructions
Look at the installation menu. It offers three main options:
• Install Windows XP
• Perform additional options
• Check system compatibility
Even though it doesn't specifically say "Upgrade to XP" anywhere it is there.

Here's a general roadmap for performing an upgrade to Windows XP:

1.  Insert the disk. This should automatically launch the installation menu.
2.  Next, click the green arrow or text next to it labeled "Install Windows XP."
This will launch the first process titled "Collecting Information" which quickly identifies if you're eligible for an upgrade.
3. Next, you should see a popup window welcoming you to the Windows setup.
4. Make sure the "Installation Type" pull-down menu reads "Upgrade (Recommended)."
5. Click the Next button.
6. Click the radio button next to "I accept this agreement."
7. Click the Next button.
8. Enter your 25-character registration code.
9. Click the Next button.
10. You'll be prompted to display an upgrade report after the installation. Leave the recommended setting alone. Choose one of the other two options if you need to have more complete or no information at all.
11. Click the Next button to proceed to "Dynamic Update."

Dynamic update

The dynamic update will go online and download updated installation files that have been released after your copy of XP was made. Choose to download files from the Internet only if you have a broadband connection. Otherwise, just skip this section and choose to update after your install.
1. Choose the dynamic update option that best suits your needs.
2. Click the Next button to proceed to "Preparing Installation."

Preparing installation
After a few minutes you should receive a read-out of how much time is estimated to complete the installation process. This would be a good time to take a break if you need to, because you're about to be bombarded with all the wonderful new features inside XP.

You'll soon witness the installation beginning to copy all its setup files. When this is completed your computer will automatically restart itself. You'll then be prompted to choose an installation of Windows you'd like to start.
Don't worry. You don't have to choose anything; Windows will automatically proceed with the correct version within a few seconds.
You should now see the beautiful XP logo while your computer is booting up. The installation will finish copying all setup files and then restart itself. After restarting you'll be into the next phase, "Installing Windows."

Installing Windows

You will notice a slight difference in your display properties. The setup will continue copying installation files and other components over to your hard drive. If you're paying attention, you'll notice that your screen may flicker a few times during this process. That's OK and a good indication that the setup is almost ready for you to name your computer.
Next, you'll be asked to come up with a wonderful new name for your computer if the old name doesn't meet the new standards. Pick a name and then click the Next button to continue copying all the Network components.

Finalizing installation

If you've reached this phase you're done. Congratulations on a successful upgrade to Windows XP. You should now see the "Tour Windows" screen. Click the Next button at the bottom to proceed to the activation process.

Windows Product Activation (WPA) is the last step along the XP upgrade path.
I recommend holding off on the product activation until you've finished installing any other additional hardware.

This will bypass having to activate your product again after making any changes to your hardware configuration. Click the Finish button to proceed to setting up your user accounts.

Like I said at the beginning of the article I invite all questions involving Microsoft Software!  The donations from my website and Email Support are my only income and are really appreciated!

How security-savvy are you? Many users simply aren't!

2006-02-16T07:18:00.000-05:00

Your machine may have come with an antivirus program preinstalled, but is the subscription up to date? Are you running a firewall of any kind? Are you conducting regular spyware and adware scans?
Or do you not mind hackers and unscrupulous marketers mining your PC for personal data?

I’m always telling you about the latest and greatest security products, but at the core of any strategy must be common sense, healthy skepticism, and a willingness to learn. If money's tight, there are plenty of free resources that can help you protect your system or systems. It doesn't hurt to have an expert (So Some Have Said) on your side, either, and that's where I come in.

I've collected dozens of my best security tips and pointers, broken down by category: system, networking and wireless, e-mail, Web surfing, malware, and mobile. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned user, you'll find plenty of valuable advice for shoring up your defenses and maximizing your security.

Many of my readers tell me that these installations and scans just take up way to much time when you are working with a PC.

This is why Windows Has The Task Scheduler Program which you can read more about at the following address:
