Slim Driver only updates your computer drivers - it has nothing to do with drafts in your email. I keep a notebook, dated, and list all changes I make to my computer so I can backtrack if needed.  I also set a restore point when I add or delete a program. Try looking in your email trash - perhaps you'll find your drafts there (I'm not sure if they go there or are just deleted).   Cathy Champion     Fenton, MO 63026 (near St. Louis)   Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you.   - St. Francis De Sales ________________________________ From: jeanne <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, March 22, 2013 8:02:45 AM Subject: [GN] slim driver I also downloaded Slim driver and in the end found all my Drafts gone.

Okay, that explains it. I recommend uninstalling the entire business and then downloading and again installing SlimDriver. I ended up with an AVG browser page which is okay, I use AVG, but some will possible be startled by it. I saw it and didn't remove it because I wanted to see what it was. I use four startup pages on Chrome, now I have five <laughter>. Elaine If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?

Crowdsourced/crowdsourcing - means that 'the crowd' - all of us genealogists - are working on the online family tree together. With everyone adding information, source citations, photographs etc. we are jointly and cooperatively creating the documentation on our ancestors. The old model was the lone genealogist compiling the family history - the new model is the 'crowd' working cooperatively to build the tree. The scale is enormous. Crowdsourcing on FamilySearch.org is adding over 1 million indexing documents (birth, marriage, probate records etc.) - every day - 365 days a year. Wow. It's a new world. It is a new term coined to describe the online world of information. Wikipedia is a good example of crowdsourcing. With millions of genealogists working on the Family Tree at FamilySearch.org - that is also an example of crowdsourcing - sharing - cooperative work to pull together the best information about our ancestors. It gets the records online, preserved and shared for the rising generation On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 1:38 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > Tom, > > What does your word "crowdsourced" mean?

Tom, What does your word "crowdsourced" mean? That is a new word for me. Janet -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Jay Kemp <[email protected]> To: gen-newbie <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Mar 21, 2013 10:37 am Subject: Re: [GN] familysearh website Sure. Online trees are a group effort - today we'd say they're crowdsourced. So - everyone puts up what they know. You might know that the mother's name was: Mary Someone else might know that it was: Mary Alice Starbird Great - with data and updates flowing in we can get each person accurately entered - what a great approach. Best of all it is free at: https://familysearch.org/ When you see your family on there - improve it.

This website has changed alot since I last used it. I am careful about what I use and do not use. I like the site the other way better. Now to get use to trying to look at this site is going to be challenging to me.

Sure. Online trees are a group effort - today we'd say they're crowdsourced. So - everyone puts up what they know. You might know that the mother's name was: Mary Someone else might know that it was: Mary Alice Starbird Great - with data and updates flowing in we can get each person accurately entered - what a great approach. Best of all it is free at: https://familysearch.org/ When you see your family on there - improve it. Add more details and especially add the source citations and if possible links so that others can see the rationale for your conclusions. Notice too that you can add photos - what a great way to preserve and share those. Many hands make light work - so let's all pitch in to get our data online, shared and preserved.

Joyce, Be careful and use the information just for clues to find your ancestors. It is a great site for finding clues and some records but do your own research and find the original records for yourself. I looked at my family tree on there and it is full of mistakes, both names and dates and some not complete information. I have all my original records and some of the records on family search were copied wrong with both names and dates.

We were warned about other software wanting to download when downloading Slimdriver and it appears that you must have clicked on the Fixcleaner which was a pop-up while the download was in progress and it had a prominent button to download now. It could be confusing as it appeared that one needed to click the button to get the Slimdriver but it was not necessary. It is a sneaky way to get you to use another program. I saw it and ignored it when I downloaded Slimdriver, but had I been a little sleepy I may well have downloaded it too.

I tried to be cautious about clicking on any link other than the one to download Slimdriver but apparently I did. I think I will just delete that little add-on. Thanks.

On the basis of the recent emails about using SlimDriver to update drivers, I downloaded the program. Found 14 out-of-date drivers, which were updated. Installed as part of this program was FixCleaner . I use RegPro on a regular basis, as well as CCleaner and MalawareBytes. I don't see a need to use this FixCleaner as it appears to do the same thing as RegPro and others. Any comments on FixCleaner? Wanda

Joyce Ann - Go to https://familysearch.org/ and look for the button for "Family Tree" - that will bring you to the family tree. If it is the first time you are using it - you might have to register to access it (free site). Give that a try and see if it is what you are asking for.

That must be a new addition, it wasn't on the version I downloaded.  I wouldn't have a need for it as I am happy with CCleaner and Glary Utilities.  Cathy Champion      Fenton, MO 63026 (near St. Louis)   Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you.   - St. Francis De Sales --- On Thu, 3/21/13, Wanda Ridge <[email protected]> wrote: On the basis of the recent emails about using SlimDriver to update drivers, I downloaded the program.  Found 14 out-of-date drivers, which were updated.

I was wondering what is the website address for finding research of families that you use to get from the Morman site. I do not want the index familysearch.org. People use to put the research of their families o line to the Mormon site. This is what I used to trace back my ancestors to the 1600's. (just to get an idea). Thanks Joyce Ann

One of the best features of Gen-Newbie is that it is a community willing to share information and knowledge. I missed any previous conversation about SlimDrivers but installed the free version this evening and ran it. I had six updates for major items on this one year old laptop. I went for them, it took longer than I expected (which made me think the paid pro version might be real nice) and I think after a restart that my graphics may look better. Could be a placebo effect, but I am happy to hear about SlimDrivers and thank you, too, Cathy. This is no longer a talkative group like we once were. I think we are more serious, perhaps younger, more acquainted with computers than our previous generations here on Gen-Newbie. But we still share and help and that makes me happy.

To My Friends, Yes, I must echo what Elaine has said - well personally I can't qualify as "younger and more acquainted with computers." However, even as I age I am still "so" fascinated with these wonderful machines. From the bottom of my heart I thank all of you for all of your help and willingness to answer the call for help. George, I have spent the day attempting to understand the event log - whew. I can't by any stretch of the imagination say whether I found anything or not. I felt like I was reading a foreign language. Yep, this computer still is hanging but not quite as much as it was and seems to recover a bit quicker after I updated 17 drivers. I wonder how long this machine was on on the Floor at Office Max. I bet it's a couple of years old - dumb me well not dumb, but I was desperate to find a Windows 7. Well, I found one. About the only thing I haven't tried is to try a new browser, a new email program and remove AVG and go back to ME for my virus program. Oh, and as George says "take the system back to the original install." I am about ready to take you up on that offer. And yes, I miss the chatter we used to enjoy so much. Once again thank you, thank you, thank you.
