My friend in the previous or next post points to problems when the
agency you work for owns the laptop you're using.
1) They control the updates, I think. She only has XP SP2. Why not
SP3? I think it's because they intercept it at work and don't give it
to her. Could that be? Her Thinkpad is 5 years old, and if she has
wireless, it's probably disabled. She plugs into the network at work
with a cable.
2) Every time the computer guy at work works on her computer, he seems
to set the default as caps on. Then she can't log on, she says,
because her password or logon uses non-caps, and he has to come back
and change something Hmmm. Does this make sense? Surely if she could
just press shift lock, she would do that and also he would tell her
to. She's definitely not stupid. If he told her she was doign it
wrong, she'd notice.
3) Last night, Sunday night, the computer started a "weekly scan". It
didn't say what software was running, if it was part of XP, or part of
Thinkpad, or part of the large city agency she works for. Even
though the progress bar showed it woudl take about 3 hours, there was
nowhere to click to stop it. She stopped it by turning the computer
off.
Who has a scan you can't turn off?
