If your job may involve helping others to get their computer working properly again or if you just want to make sure that you can fix your own computer if it has problems then you will need a number of utility programs available that you can use o attempt o fix a computer setup when the worst happens. While this article was written back when floppy disks were still a very common way of storing those utilities ready to use, you can organise things on a CD or USB stick to achieve similar results.

Your Software Toolbox

Some software is supplied with a dongle which must be plugged into the computer (usually a parallel port) in order for the software to be able to run on that computer. This is about as secure as it gets with ensuring that people have the appropriate licence to run the software since the dongle comes with the licence and without the dongle the software will not run at all. The problem comes where you do not have an available port on the computer to plug the dongle in. This article has some suggestions on how you might solve that problem.

Not Enough Ports for a Dongle

If you have two or more computers in your house then networking them together will make using them much easier than if each is completely independent. Here we look at the basics of what you need to do in order to get your computers talking to one another.

Where to Start

Having finally found time over the last couple of weeks to closely examine a lot of the software scripts that I have downloaded from various sources (giveaways etc) over the past year or so and having deleted the 80% of the scripts that are either garbage or which don’t contain any files that identify what the script is for (presumably the site i downloaded it from said but that isn’t much use now), I finally have a dozen or so scripts left that actually look like they are worth making available in the member’s Area. The scripts do of course come with resale rights allowing me to make them available like this and in most cases also allow me to pass on those resale rights.

I will be uploading most of these scripts over the next few weeks so you may want to consider visiting the member’s area soon to see what scripts I have managed to find that are actually useful.
