Re: Vista
Reformat the drive and install Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon. It's fast and is free. The desktop will look like your XP or Vista desktop. I've done that to several old laptop and people are very happy. Don't throw away your laptop. It still has a couple years of life under Linux. Download Linux Mint 32 bits to a DVD or USB key and boot from it to try it. You don't even have to install it to try it!506Views0likes0CommentsRe: Web attacks/intrusions?

I've been using Linux Mint for several years now. Light overhead, no virus or malware. Never looked back.466Views0likes0CommentsRe: (Stupid) Diesel Questions
My RV can be fueled only from the passenger side. That means that, when I pull into the truck section, I need to activate the pump with my Pilot card, put the noozle on the ground and go around the RV and use the satellite noozle. How many people have to do the same? I'm curious.517Views0likes0CommentsRe: My air brakes are locked!

The good thing is that you now have additional knowledge that money can't buy. Unfortunately I had a wall 12 inches behind my RV so I couldn't back up1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: My air brakes are locked!
*** UPDATE *** Today I was able to go and try to unlock my brakes. I first jacked up the back (after I blocked the front wheels)until the rear wheels were off the ground. One side turned freely, the other didn't. I then went under and was able to see that the top brake pad was free but it was the bottom one that was stuck. I took my hammer and wacked the top metal part of the shoe several time and Bingo! it freed up. Thank you again to everybody that contributed their knowledge. It was much appreciated. Hoping that this tread may help others with the same problem in the future. That's the power of this forum1.1KViews0likes0Comments
