Re Windows Vista.

I think these days most of us are very unexcited by our Operating system. Its just an enabler that allows us to get on the ‘net, or do email, play games etc.

So most of us don’t care about the OS itself.

I think what will happen is that Vista will be released whenever it is and when we buy a new computer we’ll get it then. The rest of us wont’ bother upgrading until we buy something like a game or new hardware that ONLY runs on Vista and we’re forced to upgrade. This is what happend to many people I know that moved from Windows 2000 to XP.

for Eric in Bakersfield, try using microsofts synctoy. it saves all your individual settings in XP, which sounds like what you want to do. I found this program very useful, when backing up before re-installing.

The system shutdown can be affected by the 115 VAC from the wall outlet. Most power supplies have a number of protection circuits built into them. The resolution and proof that this is the problem can be difficult to ascertain. I recommend a Un-interruptible Power source to resolve this problem. The cost is low and the UPS is worth the additional protection provided even if this isn’t the problem.

The new noise seems to be associated with a fan located under the right side of the MacBook Pro’s keyboard. Most users say the noise sounds like a fan is trying to startup then fails several times in a row. Some users have described the noise as akin to the “mooing of a distant cow.”

Ray in Temecula,

If you can’t remember your passwords or, in your case they randomly change weekly, instead of reformatting try this utility:
“Offline NT Password & Registry Editor”
http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

It’s a Linux boot disk with a utility to edit and reset the NT/XP password file (hive). Best part, it’s FREE.

For those who claim that Leo is anti-windows and and are saying that anti-mac posts are being deleted while anti-windows posts aren’t, I did an experiment. I sent one anti-mac post and one anti-windows post. Both were deleted extremely quickly. So shut up all you apple fanboys and ms fanboys.

Recently, I had a customer whose DSL would go down about 7pm every night, and stay off until morning. Worked great all day.

It turned out he had a ‘Dusk to Dawn’ lamp plugged in very near to his wireless router, and even though the desktop was using the wired portion, the interferance shut down the router.

To the person who posted that anti-mac comments are quickly deleted and anti-windows ones are not, that doesn’t appear to be true. i posted an anti-Mac and an anti-Windows comment to see if either one would be deleted while the other one wasn’t. They were both deleted extremely quickly.

14:11 by Dead man?.

To the person who just posted about how much Macs suck, do your research. It’s Windows, the world’s most, unstable, insecure operating system that gets that award. Come on, just look at it! Turn on an unpatched XP machine and connect it to the net. Poof! Bye Windows. Time to reformat and start over. And look at IE. It’s so insecure it’s unbelievable. Malicious programs can be downloaded to your system without you ever knowing! You’d think that a company as rich as Microsoft would at least implament at least ONE security feature, but no.

14:06 by Who needs Apple?.

Hi to all you Apple zombies. I’d just like to say a few words. Apple sucks! i’m not saying this for no reason. It actually does suck. The only reason it’s secure is because it uses obsolete technology that’s so out-of-date that most hackers don’t bother attacking it. But if your fantasies and dreams come true, which they won’t, Apple will be wide open to atacks. Why? Because leo Laport told everyone that Macs are much, much, much more secure than Windows. Steve Jobs was so flattered he didn’t bother implamenting security.

I don’t see why Leo has to tout macs, and others tout Windows. Every OS has advantages and disadvantages. For example, macs are more secure, but Windows has many more apps available. We should focus on giving strengths and weaknesses on operating systems, not saying that Windows is nothing compared to Macs, or Macs suck. Because all that is going on on Leo’s radio show and the comments section of this web page is that people are touting spacific os’s. I’m not trying to flame anybody, I’m just giving my opinion. P.s.

My last post is posting funny so here is the other OCR info. . .

I have been using Abbyy FineReader for over a year now (current version is 8) and process anywhere from 3000 to 10,000 pages a day (per batch) and found this program to be near bullet proof and accurate. The batch processing is very efficient. I set up the process after scanning, let it run and forget about it. Most of my batch runs are multi page .tiff images conversions to PDF image over text files. I wish it had some more flexibility, but overall, it is a great program.

You can download a free trial for 30 days.

Take care,

Write KFI & Clear Channel to complain

12:56 by .

Leo,

Most text in books and on documents are either 10 or 12 point. You can scan at 300 dpi (black and white) and this should work fine. For smaller text, your caller will need to go to 350 dpi or 400 dpi. I run into this with older text books. There is also the issue of scanning brightness and contrast. Many document scanners have an auto setting for this.

 have been using Abbyy FineReader for over a year now (current version is 8) and process anywhere from 3000 to 10,000 pages a day (per batch) and found this program to be near bullet proof and accurate.  The batch processing is very efficient.  I set up the process after scanning, let it run and forget about it.  Most of my batch runs are multi page .tiff images conversions to PDF image over text files.  I wish it had some more flexibility, but overall, it is a great program.

You can download a free trial for 30 days.

Take care,

How Funny —

Leo’s chatroom police instanly delete any comment critical of Leo being in the pocket (financially maybe?) of Mac/Steve Jobs. Maybe theres something to it.

And they especially delete any post detailing various glitches/bugs in the MAC.

Now where’s the conspiracy?

Why hurry for Windows Vista? Every time a new version of Windows comes out, PC experts tell us to upgrade, then with each newer version, we get more miserable headaches to deal with. Let’s wait, wait, wait, and see, see, see. Doesn’t Microsoft have a bunch of hackers to see if they can break their OS before release. Why isn’t hardware firewalls and such built into PCs? I still like Windows 3x/9x because it runs older software for kids that is not bloated, but then there were OS stability issues. Newer Windows are more stable but with lots of other headaches, and newer software is bloated. After we’ve been burned a few times, we should have learned our lesson. Should’nt we?

(Nobody’s saying the Macs are great machines, but there’s something unfair, and frankly suspicious, in Leo’s non-stop Mac promotion/Windows Bashing.
As a previous (deleted!) post demonstrated, Macs have plenty of glitches and bugs. But you’d never know that from Leo’s unfair depiction.
I think he’s in the pocket of the Mac industry, in some indirect way)

Hi Dean.

Heard your question, that is a mystery. Given that your hub is powered it should have enough power for all the ports. It sounds like one of these devices is misbehaving, either the hub doesn’t really have enough capacity or one of those two devices is drawing more than is allowed.

I don’t know of an easy plug in diagnostic tool. I’ve used a USB cable cut open to allow me to measure the current.

The new noise seems to be associated with a fan located under the right side of the MacBook Pro’s keyboard. Most users say the noise sounds like a fan is trying to startup then fails several times in a row. Some users have described the noise as akin to the “mooing of a distant cow.”

Scott:

Right click on My Computer, then click on Monitor. Now click on + sign next to “Services and Applications” on the left hand side. Now click on the Services option. On the right hand side, look for a service called “Wireless Zero Configuration” and double click on it. Now change the ‘Startup Type’ from Automatic to Manual. If you want, click on the STOP button as well to stop the service right now.

By changing the service from Automatic to Manual, this service will not load up when your system boots up.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Leo

I have never used a MAC, I have always used Windows and Leo Laporte is right, If you want to get away from a Bad OS you need to use somthing other than Windows. I have NO COMPLAINT about Leo. He has the best windows help on the radio, as well as other TECK Info. I may move to a MAC someday, But I love keeping my 6 windows home computers working for now.

Hey Shalf:

That’s good to know. I do have a powered USB Hub 4 port hub and the power is connected to the hub. But if I have the Radio Shark plugged in and then plug in my I/O Magic external 2.5 80gig HDD, the HDD will not come up. If I unplug the Radio Shark then plug in the drive, it does come up. Is there something I can run or use to test how much power a USB port is drawing? This might be a good tool to use with clients as well.

Thanks!

12:24 by Burt.

oepapel: Scannow is not going to downgrade you to before SP2. It just needs to reinstall a system file or files.

12:23 by Shalf?.

USB Bus Power

USB Hubs (including the ones built into computer motherboards) are required to provide 5 Volts at at least 100 mA to the devices.

A device may not draw more than 100 mA from the hub without permission from the hub. If given permission it may draw up to 500 mA. If the hub doesn’t give permission for full power, the device is allowed to turn itself off and refuse to operate.

So, powered hubs (and motherboards) will generally allow 500 mA on each port.

Unpowered hubs generally are limited to 4 ports: they request 500 mA from their host, and give 100 mA to each of their ports (using 100 mA internally).

Thanks for the Mac recommendation Leo.

I’m a Windows XP user, and that final Mac Commercial helped confirm that this show is not for me.

I’ll find some other source for news/info/tips etc. (Lord knows theres plenty out there)

You don’t need me - you’re a mega-hit w/out this one lone listener. So I’m outta here.
Have fun with your Mac show. I’ll miss it, but I don’t need to hear this. Your show/site reminds me of those sites where people bash the U.S. all day long. Very similar approach that you take to Windows.

12:01 by Bobert.

Macs and Linux boxes are nice. But the real truth is that the majority of software is coded for the PC (with apologies to WINE). Top-end games or apps are usually not available for Mac or Linux.

11:59 by oepapel?.

Hi Leo,

I just tried using your suggestion regarding sfc /scannow. It ran and then told me it needed my Windows XP install CD. Well, My install CD is original, no SP1 or SP2. I do NOT want it installing system files from my install disc and downgrading to before SP2. This looks like a giant pitfall in the program.

Computer Shuts Off on Wednesday

Back in the early 70′s I had a customer whose computer shut down every Friday at 6:00pm. Turned out the power company switched electric networks at this time every week. His shut down could be an actual electrical spike. There is expensive power monitoring test equipment for this, but that is overkill in this case. He might plug a digital clock into the same line (remove battery back up) and see if it starts blinking when his computer turns off.
Good Luck

11:40 by Greg.

TRY LOOKING OUTSIDE THE BOX !

My computer was shutting off all by it self a the same time every morning. After about two weeks of logging the exact time, checking all the software possibilities and removing one hard drive and replacing it with another - then changing the motherboard, I figured the problem - My power company was switching something on the grid at that same time of day everyday. The small serge or most likely drop caused the computer to abruptly shut off !!

Windows Vista delayed? Not that big a deal to me. I wasn’t all that anxious to do the hardware upgrade anyways. XP works and I practice safe computing so I don’t have any major security concerns right now.

I’d say that for me it’s all about content these days. The plumbing doesn’t matter as much. Of course the OS needs to keep up with the times, but I’m not sitting on pins and needles waiting for the next upgrade. Yeah, I’d agree it’s kind of a yawner.

Lets see, there are about 250 Million PCs in use according to IDC, Leo gets maybe 10 calls that ARE LEGITMATE WINDOWS problems and the rest are due to user stupidity; THAT’S a pretty ratio, huh twit? (you know what twit is don’t you?)

Additionally, the callers ARE going TO BE ONES with a problem, how about the THOUSANDS that don’t call because they HAVE NO PROBLEMS!

You illogic is typical Apple Troll thinking, a bucket with no bottom.

If windows did not have problems, Leo would not have to answer so many folks about Windows on the show. Take a listen during this show and make note of how many folks call in about XP and what is wrong with thier PC’s.

11:18 by Billy?.

Leo, you are so full of it! We have 5 Windows PCs at home, all but one running Windows XP and other Win 2000.

We NEVER have any Crashes, Viruses, Trojans or all the EXAGGERATING Problems You falsely accuse Windows of having! You know why? I make sure every app and AV is kept up to date and we all know NOT to go to potentially hazardous sites or download illegal music and software!

Leo,

I am an avid listener from Sydney, Australia. I suffer the same issue as Robert here with the podcast being released approx. 3 weeks after the actual air date. Firstly, why does is there such a delay and isn’t there any way that the process could be shortened to a week perhaps like the show archives made available directly though this site? Also is it possible to publish the Skype details on the site as telephoning in on he regular telephone number (800 520 1 KFI) is not possible for me as the call costs would be astronomical.
Keep up the great show,
Martyn King

01:58 by Robert Ilbrink?.

Oh, b.t.w. it could be that you mentioned this earlier on one of your shows, but I only listen to the podcast and your podcast is released long after the actual show. Even if you had them published immediately, I would probably not be able to listen immediately since I am subscribed to more than 90 other podcasts…and I am running behind…

Regards,

Robert Ilbrink

Great show Leo. You often tell listeners to stay off the dark side of the internet. Up till now that was not easy. Did you know that there is a good plugin for various browsers that will tell you if you can trust a website? I use it and it is great. The website is: www.siteadvisor.com
