INL – News

Hope you’re having an awesome 4th of July weekend!

First we want to wish everyone a great and safe holiday weekend. Remember- don’t stand too close to the BBQ like this guy did ;-D

If you happen to have missed the local fireworks or don’t have them in your area, then click on lady Liberty to create your own Virtual FireWorks show.

If you haven’t been to our trainings then you missed out on sneak peeks at some of the changes we are making to the lab to bring you more and better features and benefits.

You may have also missed Ed’s Web Makeover class. Ed went over adding video to your site. Ed put up a poll in the room (a cool feature) and we voted on creating/ editing graphics for this week’s class.

Tips and Tricks

Have you ever had a program that you wanted to delete, but either it wouldn’t let you or your computer just didn’t run right afterwards?  I had a heck of a time after I uninstalled MS Office 2007 Beta. I uninstalled it using Windows add/remove programs and Windows installing kept popping up each and every time I opened anything at all. How annoying and bothersome that was. i found a free program that gets rid of those pesky hard to get rid of programs. It will even scan your drive for remnant files as well. it’s called Revo Uninstaller. Here’s a couple videos on what Revo is and how to use it.

Revo Uninstaller review/ tutorial

Revo Uninstaller- CNet Review gives a good overview of all the features that are in this program

A program for deleting undeleteable files is  Unlocker 1.8.7 *** One Reminder- Always download from a reputable site. Some folks have commented on Malware being included w/ some programs. Sites like CNet and Softpedia check for Malware and are generally safe to download from, but you should always scan anything you download.

If you worry about keeping your PC and yourself safe online, then continue to check back for our next class on Internet & PC security.
