| HAVE YOUR COMPUTER QUESTIONS ANSWERED! The program planners for our First Wednesday PATACS meetings in Arlington are looking for topics that members would like to have explored or questions answered - this is your opportunity to have a say in topics addressed at this meeting. This is a smaller meeting than the Fairfax meeting, and it allows for much more interaction between members than is possible in Fairfax. And there's the post-meeting Pizza and Salad SIG, the post-meeting social at a nearby restaurant - another value-added feature of your membership! Please send your suggestions to our meeting program planners at arlmtgpgm@patacs.org. |

Apple Watch Basics |

One of the most frustrating tasks when installing or reinstalling MS Windows is finding drivers for devices that Windows does not recognize. These unrecognized devices are often uncovered when they fail to function as expected and can be discovered by visiting the Windows Device Manager app. Installing the correct drivers for unknown devices can improve reliability, performance, and user confidence. I will provide computer users and repair technicians with five simple steps that can be applied to any PC to locate and install missing drivers for unrecognized devices. Frank Fota is a retired Lt. Colonel from the US Army, working primarily as a health physicist in radiation safety. Frank’s passion is computing, and he has been an avid PC user/gamer, troubleshooter, and repairman since 1990. He served as Secretary and Newsletter Editor for the Fredericksburg PC User Group for 8 years until it disbanded in August 2024. In retirement, Frank also enjoys gardening, caring for animals, playing guitar with his church worship team, attending concerts, the symphony, and the theater. --> |

OPCUG Members Welcome! 4th Wednesday, January 28th, 7 PM Zoom Details Will be Sent by Email 5711 S. 4th Street, Arlington, VA 22204 Extended Q&A Troubleshooting Do all your electronics, gadgets, computers, phones, tablets, TV sets, networks, earbuds, and software apps/applications work perfectly? Do you never encounter glitches, freezes, failures? Are you always certain what brand and model product to buy? If so, we'd like to hear about your magic touch. But if you're like the rest of us, none of that is true for you. And so PATACS' first Wednesday meetings may be just the resource you need for a happier technology life. Just as most PATACS meetings begin with a Q&A session, so does this meeting. But then the meeting continues for nothing but Q&A -- meaning that it's possible to have detailed and in-depth discussions, including real-time research and demonstrations. Same as all PATACS meetings, these sessions are free and open to the public. So join in, share your questions, problems, and pain -- and perhaps receive answers, solutions, and relief. |
