  5. Vista Mice Issue

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    no I solved it, its a known issues with Vista (and windows 7), Vista will try to install a usb mouse as a browser mouse, what ever that is instead of a HID mouse.. you have to manually change the device in the device manager to a HID mouse..

    Leave it to MS to screw up mouse detection..

    stupid windows..

    by the way the Mouse brand is Microsoft..

    OK I have a mouse, two as a matter of fact. if I plug them in with the keyboard, using the usb on the keyboard that is. no issues.. IF I try to just plug in the mouse it keeps saying it can not find the driver for a web browser mouse.. what kind of POS operating system is this.. is sad but I am stuck with this OS for work.. so if any one knows how to fix it please let me know

  9. Wireless Internet Card -

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    these cards are using cell, you can secure all of them even hotspots, by using SSL and others like a VPN. but since the ATT is using a cell technology it is more like a modem and not a network. the network part comes after the carrier and is as unsecured as the rest of the Internet.

    What is your business use? email should always use a SSL connection to send and receive, if you are not using that for your business then no matter what systems you connect its not secure, so a hot spot is no less secure than almost another connection. the problem with hotspots is that your computer may not be secured and you are exposed to people you do not know who could hack said computer, so in that case you should never use a hotspot for anything.

    in this case the ATT us more secure.. but not by much

    hotspots are safe for doing anything as long as your computer is secure and you are using secure connections. if your company i snot using secure connections then you are vulnerable everywhere, if your computer is not secure you should never ever use public networks

  13. Installing Wordpress: Having Problems With The Install Script

    in Linux & Unix

    Posted

    then you need to remove the address and use localhost

    but get back to mysql

    from a root command line if you type mysql and nothing else does it let you in?

    if so change your username to root and remove all between the "" for the password

    by default mysql does not allow network access so root with no password is ok (as long as you locked down file level access in apache, and turned off other communications and moved ssh to another port )

    :)

    Sorry if we are repeating, but I need to startover to make sure I did not skip anything.

    also I would give your wordpress DB name a unique name. like mysite. they suggest WP_ and a name, This way if you end up hosting more than one site (using Vhost) you do not have to reconfigure, plus if someone gets into Mysql they have to guess the correct DB.

    well work on a different user after

  18. How Is Pystar Allowed To Do This?

    in Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod

    Posted

    its a sticky situation..

    I believe The EULA says you can not run Mac OS X on other hardware.. but Fair Use Laws says you bought it and as long as you are not using illegal copies you can do what you want..

    so Apple fires back that you do not buy the software but a license to run the software on a Mac.

    In This case I am pulling for Paystar.. but I believe in freedom.

    I like Apple, and I understand their point.. they don't want to provide support for other platforms. But its a publisity nightmare as someone will buy a paystar computer and have issues, they will call apple and complain.. Apple will say so what, we don't support that configuration.. then the person will call the local newspaper who will post a story on how crappy apple support is..

  24. Windows 7 Beta

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    I have no issue really with either. I use Vista a lot, since XP has been invaded with work security impediments.

    But I do believe that Microsoft should give everyone who bought Vista Windows 7 as a trade. not charge them another $150 to $250 for it..

    btw I get them all Free under my Companies MSDN so I don't pay for the upgrades :)

    I know in the numbering from the Kernel the numbers work out (Just Like Windows mobile 6.1 when you do a version check says it was WM 5.2.19199) .. the problem is that Windows 7 is not the 7th OS they have released and Charged for.

  25. Windows 7 Beta

    But, but, taskbar.

    :D Sorry missed one

    The least stupid explanation I can think of is that by coincidence Windows 7 is the 7th major mass-market system under the Windows brand, the 7th major release of NT and, if you pretended that Windows 7 was a completely new system, it would be Microsoft's 7th operating system. That fact that at most 1.5 of those statements is correct in no way makes that more stupid than the other explanations I've heard.

    Also, seven is magic.

    that is lmao funny..
