Microsoft has some on-line info and tutorials at windows.microsoft.com which might be of help (try the "how-to" section.) If you need more in-depth info MS Technet is a resource we "tecchies" sometimes go to. (Scroll down to the "Info for" section and click on "IT professionals" to get to Technet. A search of the Technet forums will sometimes yield good info.)
Otherwise, you could use the technique I've developed over a number of years spent fighting with computers running Microsoft products: 1) Bang head against a concrete wall until head is bloody and throbbing with pain. 2) Repeat as needed. (/sarc off) Hope this helps. 73, Al On Fri August 15 2014 4:20:22 pm Jim Brown wrote: > I've recently replaced one of my computers with a Win7-64 Pro machine, > and my XYL's with a Win 8.1 box.
