 Windows Server 2003 and AVG server Anti-virus problems

Published 3/6/2008 1:52:00 PM - Windows tips and tricks

I have used AVG server anti-virus for the past year. I finally traced my “nuisance” reboots to this software. Every time the software would update, the server would reboot itself after a few minutes. Needless to say I switched to CA and have had no problems at all. I've had to ditch my last year of service and take the loss. AVG has no information on their website about any such problem. Once, after installing an anti-virus update on this server (Windows server 2003) the entire OS became corrupted and I had to re-install. I have decided that AVG is not the product for me.

 If Internet Explorer 7 Text is blurry or does not look like Windows

Published 11/15/2006 8:54:00 AM - Windows tips and tricks

If the text in Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) looks blurry or does not look like the default Windows XP text it's because "Clear Type" got turned on during installation.

To turn off Clear Type (I recommend):

In Internet Explorer 7 navigate to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced. Scroll down to Multimedia and uncheck the "Always use Clear Type for HTML" checkbox. Click Apply and OK. Note that you must close IE7 and reopen for the new setting to take effect.
