Tip for Week 08/30/04

 

Well it seems as though Mr. Bill Gates has decided to upgrade our Windows XP software for free.  The latest update/ patch is designed to allow more security on your machine.  Unfortunately there are a few programs that may glitch when you install this upgrade.  AutoCAD just happens to be one of the finicky pieces of software because it has FTP capability in the Open dialogue box.  Always allow your in plant IT personnel to apply any patches or upgrades if that is what you are supposed to do at your plant!  If they are having problems, show them to the following link.

If you apply these upgrades at your site or need the patch at home, the link will help to give you the low down on how to make things work, should things go wrong.

Things go wrong.

Good luck!
