  1. I can't believe I'm going to say this... but...if you go to a local "mom & pop" computer repair shop they should be kind enough to let you use one of their "for testing purposes" universal power adapters for laptops. I know they have one because every computer repair shop does. Then you would know if it works. Hopefully, they will have a universal power adapter that will fit your laptop for testing. If they aren't kind enough....well you just say that Computer Rescue would have been kind enough if they had a store front... MicroCener in Marietta also has power adapters f
  2. It should be the hospital as I attended a meeting recently that had a picture on display. The meeting was more or less turned into the "toll road" meeting.
  3. Yes! Here is a link to what I assume is the engineering group behind the new hospital. I know Paulding.com has done at least one story on this and with more to come for sure. WellStar Paulding Hospital
  4. According to Pauldin.gov and the "newsflash" I received today... Paulding will be getting a new Hospital at the corner of Hwy 278 & Bill Carruth dubbed "Wellness Parkway". I believe the Certificate of Need was the last major hurtle before Wellstar could start. last I heard the Hospital completion date was 2014 but I might very well be wrong. It is also my understanding that the IT department and building will come afterwards. Contact the Chamber of Commerce or County if you have any questions as I am sure they can provide some information for you. Steven Computer Rescue
  5. Welcome! You might not know it now but Paulding.com is a great resource. Direct marketing to thousands.
  6. I understand your frustrations. I replace them all the time for customers just like yourself. I can't be sure what exactly causes them to fail but I can list common reasons. *Over Heating. (Sometimes due to dust and/or nicotine build up). *Electrostatic shock (Also sometimes caused by dust and/or nicotine build up.) -*Electrical shock/surge from lightning and/or improper/failing wiring. *"Lemon" modem/router. -*Perhaps you were sold refurbished or used modem/router without knowing it. *** A few more I am sure to be missing from the list. Like a computer modems/router
  7. Check out Atlanta Outdoor Club.
  8. A couple of questions. Can you provide a link to a website for this computer? What kind of games are your children going to play? If you know of the name(s) that can be helpful. Laptop or Desktop? (Just to be clear) Thanks, Steven Computer Rescue
  9. I would be happy to recycle the computer for you. What happens to your computer depends on its age and whether it needs any new hardware. As for your hard drive I have a strict policy on hard drives which includes never selling used hard drives. I also ensure that the hard drive is destroyed by physically taking the hard drive a part and separating the platters which hold your data. Of course sending a drill through the drive is just as fun and affective! Some computers are salvaged and then recycled others are rebuilt and donated to non-profits, low income/struggling homes, or used here
  10. Most churches, museums, and private educational "attractions". The list is VERY long. Is there a particular non-profit field/category you are interested in? Paulding County Historical Society & Museum Paulding County Geanological Society McKenna Farms Therapy Services Boy/Girl/Cub Scouts Friends of Civil War Paulding County Branches/Extensions/Groups:---Helping Hands, Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Club, American Red Cross, Relay For Life Oh...the list goes on.... Since there are different types of "non-profits" according to the IRS I think actor guilds
  11. These thing happen more often then anyone one of us would like. I see this on a daily basis now in the form of spyware. Just like a fake text or e-mail spyware infects your computer and can do anything under the sun. The spyware that really worries me is the kind that disables your anti-virus program and installs its own fake anti-virus program. You'll be happily reading the news and an "anti-virus" program will pop up warning you about a virus. You run the fake scan it shows you fake results and says you need to update/upgrade your subscription to clean your computer. Unsuspecting peopl
  12. Your right satellite. I am very sorry. It seems that Avira made some changes that I was not aware of and now Avira (Free) would not be a good recommendation. Although, most e-mail providers already scan your e-mail prior to you receiving it there should still be an anti-virus program scanning your e-mail. In the future, I will try harder to ensure information I provide is not so "horrible". Thank you, Steven Computer Rescue
  13. Since you are asking... I tend to recommend AVG or Avira. Both rank in the Top 5 anti-virus programs. They also tend not to slow a computer down. However, Avira is not as "heavy" as AVG so consider using Avira with older PC's. I do not recommend the two big Anti-Virus software players....you know which ones! Keep in mind that no anti-virus program guarantees 100% protection. (Purchased or Free) Also, I believe Aivra and AVG come with an anti-spyware program built in. Thanks, Steven Computer Rescue
  14. I'll be there to run wire for all the computers to minimize computer down time. Wouldn't want Paulding.com to stop working!
  15. Call me anytime today when the computers are ready for setup and I will be happy to lend a hand. Also, if you still need network cables run throughout the office I can do that as well. Just let me know, Steven Computer Rescue
