Batteries NOT included (Until now) By Eddie Hines
THE
UPS usually means “What brown can do for you!” now the question is
what electricity can do TO you. UPS stands for uninterrupted power
supply. In other words, a battery for your desktop computer. When the
power goes out in your home and you have a laptop, you notice that the
laptop stays on? That’s because it has a battery inside of it that can lasts CONTEST
up to 3 hours depending on the computer model. That way you can still
work even though there is no power. But for the poor desktop computer,
once that power goes out its lights out for you work and your data.
Sometimes a power outage can even damage your hard drive, On Saturday February 24th, 2007,

to the computer and turning on its own source of clean power and giving that to the PC for up to 1 hour depending on which
UPS you buy. Home PCS usually use APC products that give 18 minutes worth of battery backup in case of a power loss
and protection from brownouts and power surges. They usually cost $80 in retail stores Home offices and small
corporate centers will use a stronger product that last up to 2 hours on no power. These retail for about $300. Whichever
product you get rest assured that you and your data will be the better consumers for it.

Customer of the Month Spiritual Word of the Month

shall walk and not faint
— Isaiah 40:31

There is no thrill for us in walking, yet it is the test for all of our
steady and enduring qualities. To "walk and not faint" is the highest
stretch possible as a measure of strength. The word walk is used in
the Bible to express the character of a person— ". . . John . . . looking
at Jesus as He walked. . . said, ’Behold the Lamb of God!’ " ( John
1:35-36 ). There is nothing abstract or obscure in the Bible; everything
is vivid and real. God does not say, "Be spiritual," but He says, "Walk
before Me. . ." ( Genesis 17:1 ).

When we are in an unhealthy condition either physically or

emotionally, we always look for thrills in life. In our physical life this
leads to our efforts to counterfeit the work of the Holy Spirit; in our
emotional life it leads to obsessions and to the destruction of our
morality; and in our spiritual life, if we insist on pursuing only thrills, on
mounting up "with wings like eagles" ( Isaiah 40:31 ), it will result in
the destruction of our spirituality.
Having the reality of God’s presence is not dependent on our being in
a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our
determination to keep the Lord before us continually. Our problems
arise when we refuse to place our trust in the reality of His presence.
The experience the psalmist speaks of— "We will not fear, even
though . . ." ( Psalm 46:2 )— will be ours once we are grounded on
the truth of the reality of God’s presence, not just a simple awareness
of it, but an understanding of the reality of it. Then we will exclaim, "He
has been here all the time!" At critical moments in our lives it is
necessary to ask God for guidance, but it should be unnecessary to
be constantly saying, "Oh, Lord, direct me in this, and in that." Of
course He will, and in fact, He is doing it already! If our everyday
decisions are not according to His will, He will press through them,
bringing restraint to our spirit. Then we must be quiet and wait for the
direction of His presence.

Spyware Doctor 4.0 - What’s new in this release?
• New Instant Messenger (IM) Guard Tool
A new OnGuard real-time protection tool, IM Guard, protects
users of Instant Messaging applications such as MSN
Messenger from access to any potentially malicious URLs
received. Such URLs can lead to phishing sites or sites which
attempt to exploit your web browser.
• New Ability to remove challenging new threats designed
to elude elimination Some recent malware infections are
installed as drivers which protect themselves from removal and
along with other installed drivers, are protected from deletion by
the operating system. However, Spyware Doctor has the
capability of removing these malicious driver threats. Spyware Doctor is also capable of removing threats that attempt to
shut down the Spyware Doctor application itself.
• New Enhanced Ignore List with added security features The Ignore List is used to prevent Spyware Doctor from
detecting specific items that you wish to keep. However, some recent threats have been found to add themselves to the
Ignore List in an attempt to compromise Spyware Doctor’s detection capabilities. Therefore, the security of the Ignore List
has been enhanced and integrity checks implemented to prevent such threats from attempting to compromise Spyware
Doctor’s effectiveness.
• New Enhancements to scanning tools Spyware Doctor includes significant enhancements to its scanning tools. The
Disk Scanner tool has the ability to detect and remove threats that attempt to avoid detection by using alternative
character formatting. The Browser Activity Scanner is now also able to detect potentially malicious cookies stored by
Mozilla Firefox web browser.
• New A System Restore point feature Spyware Doctor provides the option of creating a Windows System Restore point
prior to threat removal. This works as a supplementary feature to Spyware Doctor's own Quarantine and Restore features.

Tips of the month

How Do I Do a "Repair Installation"?

Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. For more
information about how to do this, please refer to your computer's
documentation or contact your computer manufacturer.

Insert your Windows XP compact disc (CD) into your CD-ROM drive or
DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer.

(You can also boot with a Windows 98/Me Startup disk with CD support
and run WINNT.EXE in the I386 folder on the CD)

When the "Press any key to boot from CD" message is displayed on
your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP
CD.

When you see the following message displayed on the Welcome to

Tips of the month (cont.)
Control Programs That Run at Startup

The best way to prevent a program from running at Startup, is to check the program's own options for a way to prevent
this. Most good quality programs will provide an option for this.
If you can't find the option there, click Start, Run and enter MSCONFIG. Go to the Startup tab, and uncheck the item
there. This method is not always 100% successful. An example is a program that you do use, but you don't want
running automatically. Some programs will check to see if the program's own options say it should run at Startup. If
the program thinks its supposed to load at startup, it will re-create the auto run entry.
A small utility that can help you determine where things are loading from is Startup Programs Tracker, which can be
downloaded here.

Backup and Restore Your OE Mail, News and Settings

Manual Backup:
Your safest bet is to move the OE Mail Store to a new folder, on a different partition, if available and export a few
Registry keys to back up all your settings.

1) In Outlook Express, go to Tools, Options, Maintenance. Select the Store Folder button. Change the location of the
OE Mail and News store folder to a drive/partition/folder that will not be affected by the uninstall or re-install. This is
especially true if you plan to reformat the system drive. You will be prompted to log off/back on, or reboot, do so. For a
small utility that will locate, and optionally open your mail store folder, click here (Find and Open the OE Mail Store)

2) Do a Find on *.wab and copy all WAB files to a folder on the same drive/partition you used in Step 1. This can even
be the same folder that you moved the Mail Store to (recommended).

3) Open Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name. Modify the

value to point to the folder you copied your WAB file to.

NOTE: If you only have one available partition, complete steps 1 through 3. Then backup the contents of the folder(s)
that you moved the Mail Store and WAB files to. This can be to floppy media, CR-R/RW or whatever you prefer.

4) Now export the following 4 Registry keys to a location that will be available after your reinstall, or whatever (a floppy
will work for the REG files). If you're going back to a Windows 9X OS, you need to ensure you select Win9x/NT4 in the
Save as type pull down.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name

5) Uninstall XP and/or reinstall your desired OS.

NOTE: DO NOT open Outlook Express until you completed this procedure

6) Recreate the folder(s) you used in steps 1 and 2, making sure

the path is the same. NOTE: If you were required to backup your
Mail and WAB files to other media, you can restore them now.
