This months presention will be by
Art Fuller
1. What I have prepared is mostly on Windows 7 and the differences between it and XP.
2. I have changed my web page to reflect the software I am now
recommending - 3 programs
AVG 9.0 Free, Malwarebytes and Spywareblaster
I am also recommending CCleaner - only if you "do not" use the registry cleaner and "do not" change the default settings on the cleaner. It is the first of the optional programs on the list - "News" link.
All of these programs work well on Windows 7, Vista or XP. I will just cover this briefly on Sunday the 9th.
3. I will also say a little about the Microsoft Virtual XP program and its use
(Compatibility of older XP programs).
4. I could cover a little bit about 32 or 64 bit
The laptop I will be using is 64 bit.
5. You can cover the ppt and pps item as I know you have that knowledge.
Attached is the outline I have prepared on XP - Win 7 differences / features. The link on the second page in the .doc format takes you to the Microsoft Website where I obtained most of the videos I will be showing. Anyone can go there and view them before the meeting.
