I am not in the business or writing ultra simple computer advice to ultra novices, but every once in a while I pay attention when some hack comes along doing just that, if only for amusement. Of course I mean a hack as in a novice (who either mistakenly thinks he is, or just pretends to be) an expert; one who provides a low quality product to a consumer who is slightly more clueless than...

Purpose? Because I need more text messages on my phone! I needed a very dumb app I use to send my cell phone a text message under a certain condition. I also wanted to be able to prevent the messages from being sent during certain hours using Windows Task Scheduler, so my I didn’t have to manually disable my dumb app from using the tool to send me the message. So I wrote a quick...

Ok ok, I created this blog in May 2007 and posted 2 issues, with no activity until 7 posts in 10 minutes of May 2009. What’s up with that? Actually in May or June of ‘07, I registered a new domain and recreated my blog on a hosting site with the url www.d7xtech.com/captainsblog/ … I never posted an update or redirect on the blogger site … but sometime last year I switched hosting and naturally...

Windows 7 and above. Well, that’s the short of it. Check this lifehacker article for the rundown: Hidden Windows 7 Tool Troubleshoots Sleep Mode Problems Although, I have one small issue with the term “hidden” that I see misused all too often. Just because you didn’t notice it, or there isn’t a GUI, or it’s not pinned to your start menu, doesn’t make it hidden; it just means that it isn’t painfully obvious, and maybe...

While visiting another forum I noticed some rather long-winded or 3rd party utility based suggestions to keep malware from replicating via flash drives. I was then reminded of a very old and lost blog entry I should repost. Malware can spread to flash drives in several different ways from an infected system, but you really only need to worry that it can leave the flash drive otherwise the presence of malware files on the flash...

So you’ve wiped your laptop, installed Windows 7, or whatever… but you forgot to backup your MS SBA company file. That’s easy to do since it only reminds you to back up the file when OPENING it, NOT while closing it when it makes the most sense (like, after you’ve made the changes, ahem… good one, MS) Well your last .sbb (backup file) is too old because you made numerous new customers and invoices and...

I am one of the MASSES who suffer from the WHS backup issue where WHS Connector puts my laptop back to sleep (which is probably caused by not getting an IP quick enough via wireless.) This means that when I turn on my laptop in the morning it goes RIGHT BACK INTO STANDBY until I power it off. Now with Windows 7, problem solved? Oh wait, yeah it’s not backing up! Actually, it’s not even...

It seems a little of everything is in Windows 7. It is a jack of all trades, but as usual no matter how hard they try, Windows 7 is a master of NONE. Start > Search > system repair disc will bring up a utility to burn a custom WinPE type environment meant for fixin’ probs. It appears though that you have to load any custom hard disk controller drivers each time you boot up...

PSR.EXE aka "Problem Steps Recorder" is a sweet Win7 addition for those of us who don't know exactly what our client (or our mother) is doing to produce that whacky problem. Enter PSR. Click Start > Run (or ahem, the search box will do) and "PSR" no quotes, of course. Hit the Start recording button, reproduce steps, user can optionally make comments embedded in the MHT at any point, then stop recording and the user...
