I had a chance to play with it more this afternoon while "working" from home.
I reconfigured the network so we could print from other computers to the Epson printer plugged into the Win 10 machine. I think there was some sort of error sent to the Epson, and ultimately turning it off and on solved everything. not sure if the reconfigure was necessary. OpenCPN works fine. Office 2007 and Outlook 2010 work fine, as does my weather routing software, Squid. The "All Programs" in the Start menu is now "All Apps" and they are actually in alphabetical order. So far so good! Sailing this weekend. enough of this stuff! Joel On Fri, Aug 7, 2015 at 8:37 AM, Danny Haughey via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > it's really just 2 schools of thought.
