Its been 13days since i have been able to back up with mozy,

I have uninstalled,reinstalled

i have right clicked and installed with admin rights enabled

i have restored my  computer back to a previous image of vista that had been working for mozy, but sadly to no avail it still is not backing up,i am currently going back and forth with one of there techs via email.

I hope this gets fixed, the error reads to me like it is there side of the backup solution verses mine,but i will keep trying,as the tech is leading me to believe its on my side of the equation and not there server as the ERROR SAYS mozy__SERVERERROR__6 Little confused by this having to be me but if we indeed find out its my side i will keep this updated.

Funny thing is i truly like mozy when the software is working , they have a faster backup speed (when connected) then my carbonite solution does,but here is the kicker,to this day Carbonite has not i repeat for me has not stopped working and so for my 200 gb backup needs carbonite is ahead by 50+gbs of backed up data compared to mozy.

MOZY faster speed but has gone down 2-3 for more than 2-3 weeks at a times since i started my little experiment only 150 backed up.

Carbonite  steady slow speed  has completed my 200gb . and now only has to what ever changes i make day to day

I feel the need for speed ,but slow and steady seems to be the winner so far.

Crossing my finger

This is how i fixed my Klipsch Promedia 4.1 Speakers scratch volume control

After just dealing with it for a very long time i decided i was gonna crack it open and see what was going on, with my klipsch p/n 09050281210 spare p/n 143914-001 to find out what was making it crackle and scracth everytime i barely touched the volume control.

Suprised to find that as little as 6 screws and a can of wd-40 later i was done and scratch free it has been a little over a month and so far so good. I have included pictures to help get you thru it, i wish something like this exisited for me , i had dealt with the problem for longer than i wish to admit, i did however look to google quiet a few times and found nothing telling me that it would be this easy , (i am not responsible if you break destroy or are unable to put it back together if you try what i have done)

Thank you and enjoy.
