Solutions are being offered - uninstall the update, but it begs the question: shouldn't a computer that prints prescriptions be prevented from auto-updating?
Just the opposite, they handle very sensitive Patient Medical Information and thus need to be as secure as possible and thus auto-update. Also, these computers are managed by under paid doctors and nurses not IT managers. Most doctors practices have a staff of around 3-10 people.
Windows 7 – KB4048957 Windows 8 – KB4048958 Windows 10 – KB4048952 KB4048953 KB4048954 KB4048955 These updates stop older Printers from printing full stop. In Ireland all 1,600 doctors practices were rushing to uninstall these updates as public prescriptions are printed on multi-layer pre-print tractor feed paper. Most practices uses Epson L?/300 or similar printers. No word from Microsoft yet...
Yup, creators update and the left column of icons keeps getting moved. Sometimes things move out of the left column and sometimes into the left column. I tried to remove everything from the left column so as not to cause too much change, but Windows kept putting new items into the left column and them moving them.
I said IF. I use none of them, I posted for others benefit.
Just got a notice about Skype's new agreement becoming the standard Microsoft Service Agreement[^] and stupidly decided to read it. I noticed the following:
2. Your Content. Many of our Services allow you to store or share Your Content or receive material from others. We don’t claim ownership of Your Content. Your Content remains Your Content and you are responsible for it.
a. [...]
b. To the extent necessary [...] to improve Microsoft products and services, you grant to Microsoft a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use Your Content, [...].
I have removed sections that list additional uses or rights and provide examples as they obfuscate one of the many rights granted to Microsoft. Please oh please correct me if I am wrong, but I read this that if I use Onedrive or outlook or 365 online and have some IP of an idea such that it is stored on a Microsoft service, Microsoft can use the idea royalty free to "improve their product"? :confused:

Does anyone remember them?
We provide software for GP practices in Ireland and the ONLY way to print a prescription which is covered by a medical card is onto multi-layer forms, thus Dot Matrix. The favourite is the Epson L(X or Q) 300 (xxx) because you can now get the paper in tractor feed. BUT there are many practices who use the single sheet feed paper that comes in either 3 layer or 6 layer paper (1 Month or 3 Month script), in that case they tend to use the Micro Line 320 Flatbed printer (Usually with a Centronics interface).
I have been getting the Daily News for years to my email. At the top of the email is the "View on-line at" and a link to the Web version of the page. Because of the email package I use and my usage patterns of leaving them for a day or two, I ALWAYS click on the link and not bother with the rest of the email. Recently; today for example, I received the email: Subjet: Re: CodeProject | Daily News - It's an OOP world... is it? ...still? and there is no link anywhere on the page for viewing on-line. Is this a bug, feature or ???
Our solution is to create a Setup program which you can "Run As Administrator" which does the following: 1) Name your setup program "SomethingOtherthenSetup" and then rename it to Setup.exe after the compile. 2) Execute: %windir%\system32\reg.exe flags HKLM\Software\OurKey SET DONT_VIRTUALIZE /s 3) Create the Directories OUTSIDE of "Program Files" and add an ACL for everyone to the directory (Code available on request) 4) When installing or updating an EXE file which does any network communications (TCP ports) Execute the Following Sequence of commands:
if (osver.dwMajorVersion < 6)
wsprintf(Cmd,"firewall delete allowedprogram \"%s\"",fh->PathtoProgram);
else
wsprintf(Cmd,"advfirewall firewall delete rule name=\"%s\"",fh->Name);
ShellExecuteEx(&si);
Sleep(250);
if (si.hProcess) {WaitForSingleObject(si.hProcess,INFINITE); CloseHandle(si.hProcess); }
if (osver.dwMajorVersion < 6)
wsprintf(Cmd,"firewall add allowedprogram \"%s\" \"%s\" ENABLE",fh->PathtoProgram,fh->Name);
else
wsprintf(Cmd,"advfirewall firewall add rule name=\"%s\" dir=in action=allow program=\"%s\" enable=yes",fh->Name,fh->PathtoProgram);
All very simple to install a user mode program which talks on the network.

As a wearer of glasses since age 4, my eyes now are causing me problems with reading. Because of my prescription, I can't use bi-focals or vari-focals. All I can do is have a second pair of glasses, so I am a user of Zoom and would recommend that this solves your problem. BUT whatever you do, don't follow the path of google. :( Since I moved from Alta-Vista I have been using google, but on my IPAD I have stopped, because they introduced a "better" mobile version which does NOT allow you to zoom the results. Do fall into this trap!

Are you aware it's possible to customise the entries on the ribbon? Right Click > Customise Ribbon
Most of my users use Word to edit pre-existing documents and use my Addin which appears as a menu item next to the "View" menu item and a small subset of the formating toolbars (Font/Bold,Centre and a few others). Under Word < 2007 all the fuctions the user ever used were available on the one screen, no addition clicks required. Now with the ribbon they must click on the AddIn ribbon to get to our feature and then they lose all their formating functions. Anytime they want to do some minor formatting they must find the right ribbon and select it and find the required function. THE RIBBON INTERFACE MIGHT BE GOOD FOR NEWIES, BUT ONCE THEY BECOME PROFICIENT IT IS COMBERSUM.

About 15 years ago I bought real Galaxians (V2), Astroids and Pengo. Remember the challange of getting as close to 99999 on astroids without rolling over to zero? You had to crash your ships into the astroids knowing how many points you would get for each ship....
Ok, I understand the logic now.

Anyway... why don't you just open that port so it is not filtered?
The application is entered as an exception, but since the application is designed for a LAN the port is not fixed, though I could change this. Thanks.
I am trying to make a TCP connection to a port on another machine which may or may not have a service listening on it on any one time. Not having a listener is common and not a problem in that I can switch to an alternate server in a timely maner. The problem is that with out Windows Firewall on the server machine, the delay is about 1 second for the connect() call. With windows firewall the delay is 21 seconds and in fact the server does not sent a RST (Reset) at all. Would one consider this a bug? or feature?
From Ireland and Bing.com openoffice.org gives: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page java.com/en/about/openoffice.jsp as the top three results and no openoffice.org. Tried many things. No results.
After hearing an ad for a computer on TV, I realized that PC names for some reason are ambiguous in their pronunciation? For Example: Acer - is it: (1) "EH" "SIR" or (2) "ACK" "ER" Asus - is it (1) "EH" "SUS" or (2) "AS" "US" ASRock - is it (1) "EH" "S" "ROCK" or (2) "AS" "ROCK" I think they are all (1). Does this apply only to computers starting with "A"? Inquirying minds want to know.
Twitter is just a more public method of forums like this one where any idiot can spout on about topics like mid-life crisis, corvettes or even about the inane idea that is twitter. People like that should get a life... I swear I had one once ...
I am a Canadian in Ireland and in all the sports and evening news reports from both Ireland and the UK I keep hearing a particual phrase that drives me insane. In sports the phrsae is typically: "this games is really hotting up" or In news: "the debate hotted up" This is from well educated national and private broadcasters... But when I, tongue in cheak, say "this game is colding down" they look at me as though I have too heads. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S: If you are confused by this post, the correct term is "heating up" and "cooling down" :(
Can we use APL? ..... This topic causes us old guys to remember .... I remember vowing to never write an SNMP layer for our TCP/IP unless I could get the TSR to be less then 10K of DOS memory. I did it in 2K. The good olde days of only having 640K for everything ....
