One of the resources available to Maryland Real Estate Agents is the MD GCAAR Realtor Tech Help Hotline. It is available to Maryland Realtors at 888 784 5410. This company also services other areas around the country if you would like to request that your Local Board of Realtors provides this Realtor Tech Service to your area, too.
You may call as a Realtor Member on weekdays up until 5PM.
I do not think I have stumped them yet. And I have had some tough tech help requests.
There is a great NEW tool on their website at www.TechnologyHelpline.com/blog/ which is a compliation of tech tips for Realtors. You may sign up for Tweets or LIKE them on Facebook for additional information. Or just hook in to their RSS Feed on your Google Reader.
Today I asked about Backup Solutions for me a.k.a. the self anointed Queen of Crash. Coincidentally, my very helpful rep, Allen Williams ( who BTW went above, beyond and WAAAAY past the norm in providing GREAT Realtor Tech Service) had just written an extensive post on how to back up your data and image using built in tools already available on Vista or Windows 7 i.e. with absolutely no additional software needed.
In other words, you can use an Iomega or Western Digital Hard Drive plus create a system repair disk on a DVD if the Windows 7 disk is not available and do regular backups with no additional stuff to purchase. All you need you already have. Bet you didn't know that because it was sure news to me.
I also covered additional questions on my call such as print driver problems on my newly reloaded laptop, Internet Explorer Active Rain issues, MLS print problems, etc.
