September 2006 Archives

Like most entries found on this blog, I post IT things that I find and think might help you get more out of your
computer and applications. I was attending and presenting at the District 10 Moving Face to Face Programs
to Online workshop this week, and Jim Segers showed off this cool feature in PowerPoint 2003.
The feature is built-in and works very well for creating Power Point Photo Album slide shows on the fly.
This method allows you to quickly create a slide show of photos which is a presentation that consists of a
title slide and a collection of graphic images. And, you can have more than one photo per slide.
You can also add captions to each photo and some special effects.

I encourage you to try it out and pass this info to your colleagues and agents.

The late Paul Sittler wrote an article for TnT back June of 2004 entitled, "Five Simple Things that Computer Users Should do to Prevent Problems." The article was and is a big hit with users because it gives clear guidelines on how to prevent computer problems. I encourage you to go back and read, "Five Simple Things that Computer Users Should do to Prevent Problems" by clicking here.

Following in Paul's footsteps, I thought it might be helpful to give you some do it yourself solutions for those times when your machine just seems to be getting cranky - like maybe it has a virus. These steps will show how to perform basic computer triage using Symantec AntiVirus, Spybot 1.4, Windows Defender, and ATF-Cleaner on a troubled machine.
