Windows 7 Information

At the January General Meeting there was a case study of moving an XP computer to Windows 7. You can read it here
At the December General Meeting there was a first look at Windows 7.  You can read it here

Windows 7 Microsoft Links

Here are some useful Microsoft Windows 7 Links...

New Website

UPDATE: Some of the links, particularly to the TAP pages, were broken and would generate error messages if you clicked on them. The links have been corrected and should now work without error.

Welcome to the rebuilt TVCUC website.

The new website is based on a content management system called Drupal. It's fresh out of the oven so there probably are things that are not quite right or things you expect to see but aren't here. You can help by letting me know by emailing me.

The new website allows a lot more interactivity between readers and posters. I hope you take advantage of it.

 

TAP Update

TAP reports, as of January 12, 2009, we have now provided 375 systems and have reached 641 school age children since June 2007.

How to Set up a New Computer

Many of us got a new computer, or a new operating system for our computer, or a wireless printer, or an external hard drive. Although they all come with instructions as to set up and use, the Computer Club First Level Support Team (FLST) can be an extra source of help. As club members, this level of help if needed is free by calling Joe Solymossy at 458-3834. Before you do, here are some tips to make your Christmas gift more enjoyable.
