Mount Airy Learning Tree's Computer Volunteer Group

Meeting notes 10/16/04:

Greg discussed the possibility of volunteers going to the electronic 
recycle center to get rid of old equipment?some Saturday in October?date to 
be determined.

He spoke about the mission of CVG: to be of service to non-profit community 
groups. He discussed having members do a "walk-through" at First 
Presbyterian Church in Germantown. They need to have a network set up and 
will make a donation to CVG, which we can use to purchase hardware and 
software at computer shows.

We then broke into groups for projects. Wes, Vandy, Jamal and Alex worked 
on Alex' computer to see why it crashes whenever he tries to view streaming 
video. A large number of spy programs were discovered. Alex needs to run 
AdAware to get rid of them. No firm diagnosis was made, but it may be a 
faulty video card (to be determined next week).

I worked on another Gold Star computer with a bad floppy drive. I swapped 
out its floppy, but, although it was working, the operating system did not 
recognize it. I will try a new cable and a new driver next week.
