Google Chrome 104 error
On 2010/07/11
I ran into an unresolvable problem with Google Chrome on a client’s XP machine this week. They use Chrome as their browser, on my recommendation. The computer was an underpowered eMachines T3120 model. Chrome is faster and less of a memory hog than other options so it made sense [...]
Tech support overload
On 2010/05/08
I support many operating systems, applications and computer utilities, perhaps too many. The list grows with time. It rarely shrinks.
Here is a list of the more common software programs I need to know because my clients run them. This list generally excludes service pack variations.

On New Year’s eve I mistakenly uninstalled WordPress from this blog thinking I was working on WHIT.tv, the What’s Happening In… Telecasts, another site I own and manage.

Windows 7 Explorer features

This is the HP followup to one of the All-in-One scanning issues I blogged about in Hewlett Packard All-in-Ones hate operating system upgrades. The customer called HP, spent 90 minutes trying to fix it and then received this email. Their answer is wipe the computer, reinstall the operating system, the applications, the [...]
This post could be titled, “Why is Hewlett Packard installation software so awful? Redux.” My original post Why is Hewlett Packard installation software so awful? of May 31st allowed me to vent my then frustration with HP printer/scanner/fax software.
This past week my frustration with HP’s lousy software reached [...]
Windows 7 is here, there, everywhere
On 2009/10/22
It took Microsoft 24 years but today they release a version of Windows that is the best client operating system they have ever sold. The UI/UX (User Interface/User Experience) is a big improvement over Windows Vista and XP. I believe that Microsoft Windows 7 surpasses Mac Snow Leopard in many ways particularly in the [...]
