This is Red's idea, and the frame is already purchased by the OK group. I'm going to collect the pictures and get the frame ready for Art.
Red wanted to give something for Art to have in the care center as he is slowly battling dementia. He came up with the great idea of sending him a digital photo frame with all of our pictures so he can see how we all love our boats!
So, here's the guidelines, submit any (1) picture of each Glastron or Carlson boat (so if you have 3 boats, send 3), size 800x600 pixels in .jpg or .bmp format.
Send your photo to: cgoaia@gmail.com
Here's what we've come up with so far...please do the photo editing yourself as the picture you send me is how it will appear for Art.

A little birdie dropped a suggestion to me that not everyone will be able to do the photo editing.
So...you can send the picture to the same email address above. If you want something on the photo, let me know, if not, I'll just resize it and load it onto the frame.
I'm also planning to load a couple videos of the meets as well.
-
Great idea!
-
Very good idea. I hope his memory isn't too far gone yet.
So can text be added (by someone)? Do you think it would add anything to include the year, model and maybe owner and location?

I'll add whatever you'd like. The slideshow will show you what the rest of us have done. Here's mine:

For those of you that don't know this, Art's son, John, runs the facility where Art live's now, so you know he in in the best care available, I don't think it's a nursing home, it's more like a senior living center. John told me Art is progressing in the dementia grip, but he still has a pretty good memory of things in the past.
I've talked to John a few times since Art's wife, Barb, passed away, and each time I have talked to him he has expressed
appreciation to the group for staying in touch with Art, and how much it means to him, sending pic's and video links, not just me, there has been a few of us over the last several years talk with him by phone, and couple guy's went by and visited with him, and one from Austrailia, his name slips my mind right now, but he conducted a kind of interview.

I think your Avatar picture looks pretty good Ross!
I also have this one:

-
I sent some along.
Again, I think this is a very cool idea.
-
just sent a couple if you could edit them for me thanks!!
-
Great, great idea! Thanks for doing this.
Quick question... I have Glaston's that are not Carlson designs... should I include those?
I think I know what boats that Art designed, the obvious ones, but was wondering about the GT-150... is that his design? I didn't want to assume... embarrasingly, maybe that should be obvious to me. Just, some of them don't actually carry his name that I think he probably had a part in. Sorry.
Mark
EDIT.... ok, I see now where you say Glaston or Carlson above, thanks.
-
Hoping Red will weigh in on your questions Mark. I'm sure Art would appreciate lots of photos from the club, I doubt he'd care if he personally designed them?
Also, I'll be including photos from the meets, MN, IA and some videos from both. I've got an 8GB SD card for the frame so we can put lots of pictures on them.
-
What a fantastic idea !
Things like this make me proud to be part of this group.
-
I have Glaston's that are not Carlson designs... should I include those?
not doing any research at this moment, just taking a break, but there is a history page on my site, http://www.olered.com/Art_Carlson.html (http://www.olered.com/Art_Carlson.html) Bob Hammond arranged a meeting with Art in 1969 with an offer to buy out Art and close his shop in Garden Grove California, and making Art head of the new inity, Glastron/Carlson, building a new plant in Anaheim Ca. Although the main focus at that time was the production of the Italian Molinari race boats, they began making them at the Anaheim plant, other Glastron/Carlson boats were in the build also, and I think Art's first design that really took off as a Glastron/Carlson was the 1970 CV-19. Anyway, Art and Bob worked side-by-side developing the Glastron/Carlson line of boats, the two were close friends. Bob Hammond told me his self that him and Art have stayed in contact. I think it was 1973 when Bob Hammond sold out his interest in the Glastron/Carlson line and began the Hammond Boats.
All that to say this, Art is a boat guy, I believe he would appreciate seeing all of our boats, Glastrons and Carlsons go together from March 1969 until ? I don't know when Art stepped out of Glastron Carlson line.

No Bayliner pics Doran!

No Bayliner pics Doran!
fine. >:(
Hey Jason - Send me that picture on the back of the calendar from Jamie's 'Fancy Pants Camera'...
-
Sent a couple pic for the frame Doran. I hope project boats are OK, I included one of Fawkes when we were stopped at Casey's after picking her up.
BTW they will need edited.
thanks
-
I think projects *Should* be included...mine's certainly not done.
-
Thanks to Doran and Red for putting this togehter.
Awesome idea.
-
I think Scott has all of the "glamor shots" of the new CVX-18 on his phone. Hopefully he sees this.
-
Slideshow has been updated. Please let me know if you see anything wrong.
-
What year is Jeff Rockwell's CVX18 ?
Brandon ...
All of our boats are projects ... some are just farther along then others !
-
I think Jeffs 18 is an '87
-
OK ... Thanks Tim ...
You need a picture ?
-
Which "Jeff CVX" picture looks the best ?
Please vote ...
Or if ya have a favorite ... Post it !
-
Last one is Jeff's best.
I believe it is a 87 also.
-
OK, I don't mean to sound selfish..but.... I wouldn't mind having a copy of this electronic picture frame too. Is this something any of us could buy?
-
Poorr Art is going to wake up every morning wondering who all those people are. It's torture.
-
Jason ...
Think you can pick them up at Target,Kmart, Walmart, etc ...
Down load pictures from Dorans Picasa and plug memory stick in to picture frame thingy ...
Last one is Jeff avatair.
-
Some for Tim ...
The cake one would be cool !
-
This ones also COOL !
-
Look good Tim ?
Need years for both ...
-
Jason ...

Yeah, once its all done, it should work in any digital frame.
-
I had bought a wifi picture frame for my parents ... you can enter a password to a picasa or kodak gallery and it will show whatever is in the gallery online - so my wife and I can edit from our house - add new pictures of the kids, etc. - and voila, they show up on the frame sitting on mom and dad's shelf ...
Cool gizmos.
Man, there are some cool boats in this group. I wish I were Oprah rich.
-
We did talk about that, but those frames take a bump up in price and we weren't sure if he has wifi access in the care facility. Since his son runs the facility, I can just send out a $5.00 SD card so he can swap them out.
Should work just as well.
-
I know that Tims 18 is 1986
Not sure on the Timi though
-
Checked his sig. and had years ...
Which one of yours do you like Jeff ?
-
The Last one is fine
Thanks Gregg
-
Tim's pic's ...
Look OK ?
-
Jeff's pic ...
Look OK ?
-
Looks good Gregg, thanks
-
Looks good Gregg, thanks
-
Gregg the only thing I would chg on the pic is that it is a CVX not a CVZ
-
Are you sure Jeff ... LOL
How the heck did that happen ...
Any one needing help ... Let me know.

Fixed and sent ...

I like this one ...
-
yeah, that's a good one.
-
I'm not suggesting we pu cakes on the picture frame at all, but just since a couple cakes showed up on this thread, I searched for this picture taken 3 or 4 years ago, it was 4th of July, at a parade we had on the river, the fellows wife built him a cake that looked just like his boat participating in the parade, I couldn't help but share the pic
(http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj231/OleReds/cake_zps82786adf.jpg)
-
do you think the card has room for these two video's, just a thought, great video's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8lJepCdJbE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDRnHATR3mQ
this is another favorite of mine

-
I'm sure it will Red. I'm going to need to remaster them to 800x600 resolution so they'll be small, and playback won't be glitchy.
We just need to make sure he can easily get to all of them, so I'm hoping the frame isn't complicated to operate.
-
I don't know the first thing about one of those frames, but did you get the one that has the motion sensor, I'll bet John
helps him get some seat time at the controls.
I'm waiing on some more pic's from Gary in St Louis, Mo. and Bill in California, should be here in a couple days
-
We've got time Red...frame hasn't even shipped yet. Yes, it has motion sensor & remote.
-
Yes, it has motion sensor & remote.
you d Man Doran, this is pretty exciting, and I was just thinking, I know ... I shouldn't do that
But, by Art having that frame, and John setting it up for him, if John don't mind, anyone who
wants to could send a compatible card to him for them to watch, and I was also wondering if that frame has sound.
-
Just checked the specs on the frame Red...and since it plays .mp3's, it has to have speakers.
-
Also - I've begun to add meet photos and I'm working on the titles slides for each.
If there are any photos you haven't seen yet in the album, please email them to me at the cgoaia@gmail.com address. The cake photos I'll pull out from this thread, but its easier to manage them if folks send them to the email address.
Thanks!
-
Do you think there is a way the CGOAMN home page could cycle through these pictures? Or at least on the member page?
-

Keep in mind, this isn't a web browser. It only display's pictures & videos.
So are you thinking a picture of the MN homepage? I'm missing what you mean by the 'member' page?
-
Also - I've started adding slides for each section.
Keep in mind our target (Art) is older, so I'm making them simple, high contrast, block lettering so that he can easily read them.
-
i added my projects.
the generosity of this group is an amazing thing !!

Anyone have a good picture of the banner Brian always has up? A good one of the registration area as well? Send it to the email address if you do!

Home page: http://www.cgoamn.com/ (http://www.cgoamn.com/)
Member page: http://www.cgoamn.com/2.html (http://www.cgoamn.com/2.html)
I was thinking of loading the files to something like photobucket that would play through the pictures like a slide show. Not sure it's possible, but I think it would be a neat way to show off the groups boats to visitors of the web site.

Just keep in mind Jason, that the target is for Art.
If the idea is to turn this into a public video, I won't want my name & city out there for the world (ie every Identify thief in the world) to see. A little bit of internet anonymity is a good thing. Why make it easy for them?
Art sitting in the care center, I'm good with.
And btw, the link at the first post IS a slideshow.
-
I suspect that because this idea for Art is such a good one, that it has some of our creative juices going - and having been a victim of a minor case of identity theft, I can also understand the hesitation of putting your name out in the public view...in fact it came to my mind before I submitted our picture.
It eased my mind while rationalizing to allow our names and city because it was for Art - plus the names and cities are already pretty much out there in the public domain anyway (at least our tax records are around here) - so the only real risk is probably from possible Glastron collectors. ;) But as I said, I certainly understand the hesitation and had the same thoughts myself.
There might be some other future possibilities opening up from this though, which is what I think 74GlasCarlSS is eluding to. Maybe some "tweaking", or "enhancement" to our website to keep it "fresh"? I don't want to use the term "improvement" because that might imply there's something wrong with our current site, which I think is actually pretty good (my compliments to the original designers) - but there are sometimes new "additions" or "tweaking" that might keep people coming back to see what's new too.
You might even be "inventing" a marketable product with this "slideshow" and digital picture frame idea concept too - even if only to club members...possibly calendar ideas (club members special editions?) or maybe even a new concept for Alzheimer's patients (pictures of their past put into digital frames - kind of a "digital signage" variation (digital signage has turned into a big business)). Some of these ideas might actually be marketable, if not even patentable, services and items...but maybe I'm dreaming?? :)
-
The flaw to you tax records argument is that currently, an identify thief wouldn't have our name & city to even start with...posting this out there gives them a key starting point, yes they could randomly search them. If you saw what we've had to do to block IP's from Eastern Europe & China, you'd worry too.
The plan is to lock down/remove the album when we're done. Its a gift for Art, let's keep the focus there.
-
Sorry, no offense intended if there was any. Just thinking out loud.
Either way, thank you for undertaking this project - it was a wonderful idea! :)

No, no I wasn't offended. I get the enthusiasm and that's good!
I'm just really for spring...and you're right Red had an awesome idea.
I'm happy to put the slideshow together without the name & city for a more public version...we can just call that section 'Member boats' and I'll just remove the names/city and throw it up on youtube as a slideshow/movie.
-
and Jim (bellj) - if you want to put together a 2-3 minute mashup video in 800x600 size I'd love to add that to the frame!
I think some of the parade & then I'm sure Art would love to see them flying down the river!
-
I'd be glad to - will work on that this afternoon. Thanks! :)
-
Do you want the Boat Show Parking image at 800x 600?
-
Do you want the Boat Show Parking image at 800x 600?
Send it over!

Are you sure Jeff ... LOL
How the heck did that happen ...
Any one needing help ... Let me know.
I need help...oh wait, you mean with pictures. :D
-
Maybe not necessarily for Art's frame ... but someone trolling this thread might like the image ...
I wish I had some super resolution images of metal flake under some thick gel ...
-
Anymore member boat pictures?
Missing some pretty active member's submissions...hint hint!
-
I have not heard from Gary or Bill yet, I will rattle their cage tomorrow.
I have not seen "Okie Dokie" yet, "Hot Knots" or the "Silver Fox"
-
Hot Knots is added.
Still waiting on Okie Dokie, but who's 'Sliver Fox'?
-
The next generation of CGOAMN members!
(http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h439/bayflite73/658288ce.jpg)
-
but who's 'Sliver Fox'?
LOL "sliver" that was Brian's CVX-20
-
If Brian didn't send you a picture yet hopefully he will as I told him about it.
-
Oops, I linked my picture here instead of sending it to you directly Doran! I've sent it in an email as requested at the top of this thread.
-
Sent Bobs CV pic's ...
And a few of Kip's brothers Timmi ...

But he doesn't own that boat anymore correct?
-
Not sure ...
Still the COOLEST blue I've ever seen !
AND the rear end is a work of Art ....
-
Some guy in Texas has it now. Kind of hoped he show up on the national sight. Then I could tell him he has me to thank for that beautiful Impy steering wheel in it!....LOL
-
Ok, I had to delete the online Picasa album, the order of the album wouldn't match how it would appear on the frame.
Moving everything to Photobucket.
Digital Frame is here, looks good, will work on the videos over the next week. I will not put you or your boat in without your ok to do so...
Friday is the LAST CALL for your boat to make the frame.
-
You are sure spending a lot of time on this thing Doran, and it's much appreciated.
you can add anything I sent you for sure, and I got another one coming to you as soon as I get the pic from Gary
-
Does that mean if you need our OK, were going to get to see the results ahead of time? ;D
-

I don't mind sharing the finished slideshow directly to folks that want it...its looking really good!
All I mean by that is that I won't put up pictures with name/locations without permission.
Kip, Wex, our fearless leader, Jerry, Grinder, Gary V to name a few...I'm pretty sure they're in the slideshow but not in the 'Member Boats' section with a name & location.
Not trying to be a jerk about it, but I'd like to be asked if it were me, so that's the premise I'm operating under...
-
Doran I guess I thought you were just looking for people to send you pictures which I can't do as my computer is on the fritz. Just have my IPAD which doesn't have any photos loaded onto it. I am fine with the name/location part of it.
-

Totally agree, but I am assuming that since, at least in my case, I sent them to you for this purpose, you have my permission.
-
Yep, will do. I'll put up the finished product as a downloadable video or slideshow on my Google Drive or something similar.
-
Kip
I bet Gregg can take care of you on the photo!
-
Kip ...
You gonna be online for a while ?
I'll post some for you to choose from ...

Hey thanks Gregg! Definitely the one with my gray balding head and belly sticking out while I'm grabbing my anchor! ;D.....LOL Other than that the one where I'm next to Jeff, and the Parade shot should be good. Whatever Doran sees fit to use.
Geez I'm leaving for a snowmobile trip in a couple of days and now you got me all fired up to go boating!

My personal favorite...I thought Gregg liked you, but I guess not after he posted that picture?

Looks good Doran! If I send you an SD card would it be possible to get a copy?

I'm going to post the entire slide show as a movie, so you'll be able to play it as a video.
June's not that far off either, so we can get you a copy there as well.

I've got the video figured out.
Jim/anyone wanting to submit a video - if you're still working on your highlights video, I need it in this format. The width of 720 matters, the height of 576 can be less, but not more.

Video Options:
(THESE ARE THE ONLY SETTINGS YOU CAN USE FOR THE FRAME)
Video Codec: MPEG4
Frame Size: 720 x 576
Video Bitrate: 768

The videos I've converted so far, are here. They're uploading now, so check back. I have several more to convert, but I'm hoping to get the frame on its way to Art by Wednesday.

One comment on the stills. It looks like the text might have gotten lopped off under Shawn's CVX16?

Hmm...I'm trying to find a Shawn with a CVX16? If you mean Shawn's CVX18, it looks ok when I play the slideshow & on the frame?

Not that you haven't done enough work on this frame, but do think there is a way to capture this video and add it ?
I did put a request to use it on performance boats site, but no reply.

Ok, I've added 140 new pictures to the slideshow, and all the videos I have on the frame are uploaded as well.
If there's something you really want Art to see...now's the time. Frame will be sent to him on Wednesday. I've spoken with his son John, and Art is excited to see it, so I want him to have it by next weekend.
(Red - still working on that video.)
-
OK!
All the videos are loaded! Jim grabbed the Art Carlson Cyclone one as well, so we're all set!
Uploading the videos to Picasa now.
-
Wow ! you have done some tremendous work on this thing Doran, and Lot of time.
Much Appreciated
-
Is there anything else you wanted on the frame Red?
-
Looks awesome!
One comment on the stills. It looks like the text might have gotten lopped off under Shawn's CVX16?
Hmm...I'm trying to find a Shawn with a CVX16? If you mean Shawn's CVX18, it looks ok when I play the slideshow & on the frame?
Sorry my mistake but I thought it was a 16 for some reason.
-
I've not got to look at it today Doran, but I will tonite, looked Great yesterday, if you plan on sending a note to him with the frame, say Hi for me and the Fox. I been hooked up short, SANDING for Days, finally got done with the dust today, I'll start wet sanding with the 3M 600 tomorrow.

From John Carlson:
We received the frame on Friday of last week. Dad loves it! Thank you so much for all of the work that went in to it. Please pass on thanks to all who helped and contributed to it! I think he looked at on Friday afternoon for a couple of hours. I may be able to send some video and pictures of some more recent Carlson designs.
Thanks guys!!! We did a good thing!
Here's the family, sent from John:

What a GREAT picture !
Thanks again for all your work on that thing Doran

It was an absolute pleasure Red!
I'm working on packaging them up into .zip files so everyone can download them. I run the full slideshow on my android phone and it works just like it does for Art.

Now I find it of course!

Thanks Jim. I'll mess with it later. I feel the need to go work on a boat.

Windows 7 Home Premium, used Google Chrome... downloaded just fine. Only issue I'm having is a number of the photos are stretched.
What a great collection of photos! Thanks to everyone who contributed.
Doran, hat's off buddy, super job!
-
Mine said it couldn't scan it for virus's and asked if I wanted to download it anyways so I do have it on my PC. Just need to unzip it and don't want to BUY something.
Jim
Do you use any of these listed at the link you provided me? The first one (7zip) I went to download got the attention of my antivirus and said it was a threat.
-
Try this one Ross ...
7Zip

Yea Ross, mine said the same. I downloaded anyway, and it "unzipped" in the Google Chrome window I believe... I didn't use another program unless it was doing that in the backround and I was unaware.
-
Vista, W7 & W8 have an unzipping software built in ...
Thought XP had it also ...Been a while ...
-

Well it was going to open it but with winzip or something and said "this is not free software" and that I'd be able to use it on a "trial" basis.
-
If it unzipped it your "Good" !
-
Yeah I'm good, but WTH? Chris "hotwired" CV16V8 was in very poor shape last time I saw it. Is that really it or someone elses? :o

Ross, thats the CV with the Merc from the factory motor/drive ...

Since we're on here with a bunch of Windows platform questions ...
Does anyone happen to have a disc copy of Windows XP with SP2 that I can have/buy?

PM me your mailing address ...
OR
I could upload it to Skydrive ...
Or
I could give you my TecNet log on
Do you need a key ?

Doran, hat's off buddy, super job!
I've had that happen for me as well Mark. They display on my phone & the frame fine, and I'm not sure why Win 7 is doing that to the photos...its random and isn't that way when I resized & saved them.
AND...btw...7-Zip corrupted Red's Win XP computer...just got off the phone with him. I've never heard of 7-Zip...I've used Stuff-It Expander on my Mac...but not 7-Zip.
I've always had WinZip, so I didn't even realize it wasn't free! Normally, you can unzip freely, its when you want to zip it up that they get ya.
-
I have never even had win zip on my XP computer. Mine has always had the ability to unzip the files.
BTW, downloaded and unzipped just fine on my android tablet.
Only problem I have is one I always have with my tablet it plays the slide show backwards.

Jim
Do you use any of these listed at the link you provided me? The first one (7zip) I went to download got the attention of my antivirus and said it was a threat.
Sorry Ross, I still use an old copy of WinRar that I've been using for years and on other computers when I've repaired them I just use the built-in Windows one...but one of the reasons I sent that link of freebee's was because if I'm not mistaken I've used 7Zip while using the Hiren's DVD's and it's always worked great.
Sorry to hear that it might have screwed something up on Red's though. I definitely never heard of it doing that to anyone's system or I wouldn't have recommended. Hopefully it's not another one of those freebees that have been "altered" on a few sites to carry along a virus, spyware, or worse. :(
-
My antivirus may be overly cautious too. It did warn of spyware but I did use 7zip from the link Gregg provided. I have them as individual files but not as a slideshow.
I've used WinRar before and may have an old version of PKunzip too. I just didnt want to automatically get signed up for some paid deal.
So you guys are seeing this as a slideshow huh? Maybe I need to open it using Powerpoint or something?
Nope that didn't work. Oh well. My PC is about 13 years old so who knows.
"AND...btw...7-Zip corrupted Red's Win XP computer"
Me do scan now.

Toshiba Thrive, I believe.

WOW! How did you manage to do that!
-
Upgraded OS from Millennium to XP, replaced one hard drive, two fans and doubled (maxed out) my ram.
Also original monitor croaked back in 08
-
So you guys are seeing this as a slideshow huh? Maybe I need to open it using Powerpoint or something?
Ross - It is just the raw pictures...if you want to see it in a slideshow you'll need something like Picasa loaded on your machine to play the album as a slideshow. Windows media player likely can do the slideshow too.
For Art's frame, it just sees the pictures (.jpg's) and runs through them...but you have the photos the same as Art does...his just does a slideshow automatically.
His frame will also loop through all the videos automatically as well, but it doesn't do photos & videos together, so he has to switch between them using the remote.
The reason they're all numbered (and not names) is that I had to come up with a method to keep them all in order so the frame would play them in an ordered fashion.
So...I figured out that it would play in order provide the name was numeric. I then grouped them by numeric orders of precedence.
So...
100000 = Intro - 'Carlson' Brand Images & Member Boats
101000 = European Members
102000 = 2012 Red Wing Meet
103000 = 2012 Iowa Meet
104000 = 2011 Red Wing Meet
105000 = 2010 Red Wing Meet
106000 = 2009 Red Wing Meet
That way, when the summer is over, I'll add in new photos for 2013 and I can just send him out a new SD card with all the new photos ordered with the old ones still there.
-
Again, nicely done. There are quite a few pics on there I have never seen.
-
WOW ... Sorry Red ... Link for 7zip was from Cnet... Never had a problem with software from them ... Trust them more then Microsoft !
It even had good ratings on Cnet ...
Been so long sence I have used Winzip, 7Zip and PKunzip that I can't even remember how ...
With high speed internet acess haven't seen a zipped file in a long time !
What happened to Red's computer Doran ?
-
Looks like 7-Zip tries to install a special 'Toolbar' and other software to make money from, Red skipped them, then cancelled the installation which promptly trounced his registry to the point that IE & Firefox won't start up.
He'll need help from someone down there to fix it. I tried over the phone, but its likely time to backup and save everything and rebuild his machine...at least, that's what I'd do.
He still has his laptop, so he's not dead to the world, just his desktop is messed up.
-
Tell him to do the windows restore thingy ...
It gos back to the last update/install/major change ....
That should fix it ... or did you try that ?

I wonder if Red downloaded it from one of those sponsored links - which are notorious for having altered software or tack-ons.
I just went into the link that I had posted. There were plenty of sponsored links made to look like legit downloads - but towards the bottom was the actual download link that took you to the legit website http://www.7-zip.org/ (http://www.7-zip.org/). I guess I should have posted that link instead - but left the other to give a choice of zip software.
I downloaded their latest 7-zip from there (filename 7z920.exe). Loaded and worked fine for me and didn't ask to load any toolbars or anything.
This is a typical example of why I hate those sponsored links - I understand the need to make a little money to maintain their site and have done it myself at times for affiliate sites, but depending on who they sign up with, the webmasters usually don't have control over which actual links come up after that - and we all know how interactively "targeted" everything has become with that technology. :(
-
By the way, unless Red was to the point that he was needing to reload/rebuild his system anyway (seems like I always need to do that every six months or so - and I'm really over due on my main unit too), I've found when people bring me their computers for repair that I've been able to fix a heck of a lot of problems using the Hiren's DVDs (especially the "restored" versions). You do need to be comfortable with computers and know what you're doing though - but most people I've met on this forum seem to be pretty knowledgeable with computers.
-
is cost me $80 to get this lap top shaped up to face todays world, I don't know why really, just because it 9 years old and has been tucked in all cozy for the last 3 or so years in the bottom of a sock drawer, anyway ... the tech said the same thing Doran did, it lost a fight with a corrupted program and took a dump. I don't really know how old the computer is, maybe three years, it was custom built by a guy that is out of business now, anyway, the tech said he will get into it in a few days, see if it's cost effective to fix it or to build another one.
I downloaded the link for the 7zip, and it wanted me to download a tool bar, and some more stuff that would cost me, so I just "red x'd" out of it and deleted the 7zip from the control panel, after that, I couldn't get anything to work that had to do with the internet, just off line stuff.
Thanks Doran, for trying to help me on the phone to get it back up. I got a wireless router with a disc to load it up for the laptop, and the antenna thing that sticks into the back of it, but I couldn't get it to work, so now I got the lap top hooked up to the modem only with the yellow line that was hooked up to the other computer, the tech loaded Google chrome, added more memory, said google chrome took up a lot less space than the explorer did, nothing is in the right place now, have to look for everything, and can't save nothing ... grrrrr

Well, running wired (yellow ethernet cable) will give you a very stable connection...is the laptop running XP as well Red?
If you do upgrade, I think you'd really like Windows 7. Easy to use, very stable, and not such a departure from XP that you'll be totally lost like Windows 8 is...
Just keep in mind, for $350.00, you can get a brand new one...that will do basically everything you'd need it to...is it a top tier system? Nope, but its pretty darn good for a daily driver...and not so expensive that you can't shelve it in 3-5 years when its obsolete.
I don't like that these have Win 8 on them...but it is Microsoft's latest & greatest...but it could be wiped and have Windows 7 installed easy enough.

There are numerous links out there that hack the registry (have someone that knows what they're doing) that can turn off all that tile nonsense of windows 8 since all 8 is really is a more streamline version of 7 with the tiles sitting in top if it. Like your start menu exploded all over your screen.

I use to buy laptops with the same mentality I bought tools - that they'd be going with me to a job site and had the potential to walk off. Whether I wanted or could afford a top-tier system was immaterial. I only spent what I was willing to possibly lose. Today, you can buy a notebook computer with some pretty decent abilities for less than the cost of a good replacement cell phone. Amazes me to see ads with HP brand computers for less than $300.

I have a "maxed out" dell precision at work and it is great...
but it cost near 2K, and accounting don't hesitate to remind me that i have the "most expensive note book in the company"
I have not personally used win 8, but we got my in-laws a now pc for Christmas that has 8.

I got another computer, one they built up their shop, hooked up yesterday evening, still loading programs though, even my site builder tools got whacked, and the site got the over-layed letters all out of place. This computer is still windows XP so I'm familiar with it, it has the winzip so I can probably open the picture frame stuff. I can't do pictures yet, got to load a camara disc, tonite maybe

Red: I threw both zipped files onto one of my web servers. Maybe that might work better for your system to grab from?
Since it's set to serve as files, your system should automatically know how to download. If it doesn't, try to right click on the files to do a save as.
It's not a fast server or connection and I really need to rebuild it sometime this spring, but I'll leave the files out there for a short while in case that helps you (or others). :)
