In this screen-cast, we look at Windows 7 64-bit and the Processes therein. We show you how to set Affinity for multi-core machines and how to use the Compatibility mode all the way back to Windows 95 if your program doesn’t work correctly in Windows7 64-bit.

2GB Totally Free Online Backup! Compliments of Mozy – Use code “Geek” for 10% off other plans

In this screen cast, we look at some steps you can take to prepare for your Windows 7 install. The biggest is backing up your data so you can bring it back on the new system. In this system, we look at:

• Collecting computer information using the Belarc Advisor
• Drive Imaging software, such as Acronis – for restore point
• Using an external source like old computer or external drive
• Off-site backup option in Mozy

This upgrade will not be a quick one, as most sites are warning. Some of you may be upgrading the computer, while others will do a fresh install, or parallel install (XP and Win 7 on the same machine). However you do it, these steps will help you keep your data, have a restore point to go back to and have the important information on your computer at the ready.

Had to work on a laptop, so I thought I would show you all how you can remove a Hard drive from the laptop.

It’s been a while since we did a video pod. This week I am working on putting a new uStream computer together. Because of this I thought I would record some of the techie stuff I am doing to get this up and running.

In the first video, we show you how to remove some of the Thermal Paste on the processor. In the second video, we install the processor, put on new Thermal Paste and install the Heat Sink.

Earlier today I participated in the TechPodcasts RoundTable. John Coonen on Joomla, Andy McCaskey on LifeCasting and Todd Cochrane on JungleDisk. Geekazine has also presented Sony ACID for Podcasting. We talked about what Podcast software is out there, a little bit about ACID and how to record, edit and save a file. The presentation happens at the 42 minute mark.

Lots of great stuff. Posting the uStream event now – Once the GoToMeeting version is posted, we will send off the link.
