After getting seeing this (yet again) on message forums, and also getting a personal email about it from a D7 user this morning, I figure maybe I should blog it. I need some feedback on D7 Locksmith anyway. First, people don’t seem to realize that Windows 8 has two different types of user accounts – a local Windows account, and a Microsoft Live account. I’m not sure why some people haven’t noticed this, but maybe...
…or the ‘XBOX’ store since MS can’t seem to differentiate between the technologies – although the support is different. You will have your account history in the XBOX online store but try to get support from there, and you won’t, because they aren’t trained or capable of dealing with purchases made through Windows 8’s Video store. To get support, you’ll need to go in through http://commerce.microsoft.com despite your cues in Windows – this link comes straight...

Special thanks goes out to: Charles Kent, GySgt USMC(Ret) …a super contributor to D7 and Foolish IT cause, he has donated no paltry amount and more times than I can count, not to mention how he has served my country and fought for the freedoms that I enjoy. Thanks Charles, you are the best!
(and there isn’t much to speak of there, buddy) sometimes you just gotta call an ignorant asshole out…
Fresh install of Windows. Not even google.com would load – it won’t even show the bookmark manager, but would show the settings page — strange. No plugins installed, no A/V, no 3rd party firewall, most of the Windows updates done already… So I had this issue today on a client’s fresh install of Windows 7 x64 running an ATI Mobility HD 4250 chipset (using the latest driver from Dell.) Why do I mention that? Not...
I see my recent appearance on Geeksters (Episode 53) has posted! http://geeksters.tv/geeksters-ep-53/ Due to some technical difficulties, the show didn’t actually start until about the 20 minute mark haha. Still, it was a great show!
There is a project that has been in the back of my head for a while, and I recently had someone ask for something similar. A sort of branded rescue CD (or preinstalled on client’s system by you) to enable a remote support technician to connect to an existing client who may suffer from a malware attack and cannot execute your remote support software… the point being so that you can get connected and finish...
Just a quickie for those of you who haven’t figured it out. whatismyip.com is now charging for it’s services and no longer offering free automation services as they have in the past. As such, there has been an effect on several of my apps. IP Notifier has been retired for now, entirely. dSupport and other applications which display or report an external IP address will no longer function as expected – and instead report some...
Backstory: I’m drowning in issues. Maintaining D7 by itself, much less all of my other applications, bugs and issues that crop up, new feature requests, a business in selling them, providing services and support, working a 40 hr./week day job on top of that is getting me down in a big way. DataGrab / DataRestore and DataMigrate are my creations, they need attention – but my attention is frequently elsewhere and I don’t have the...
