Windows Server 2003 and AVG server Anti-virus problems

clock July 23, 2008 19:09 by author Admin
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.

Laptop Screen dims when running on battery?

clock July 23, 2008 19:05 by author Admin

While designed to conserve battery life, if your laptop screen dims when running on the battery it can be annoying at times. These setting can be changed in bios but an easier way on most laptops is to simply unplug the unit and then hold down the fn key and adjust your screen brightness using the appropriate key. The computer should remember the settings. When the charger is plugged in you can also set this brightness independently.
