If you are like me then you have already been or just recently moved to Windows 7 operating system. The other day I went on ABC’s website to stream a TV show I had missed. I noticed that it didn’t work at all under Windows 7. This is a short guide on how to watch/stream TV shows on ABC.com when you are running Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system. Hope this helps This works for both Mozilla Firefox 3+ and Internet Explorer 8. Does not work for Opera.

Step #1

You will need to download the Move Network’s “Move Player” which is what ABC.com uses to stream their online TV shows. (Download Here) Visit the link and click on the red “Download” button.

Step #2

It is going to ask you to save or run it. Either will work. Once it finishes downloading double click on it to install it. The install should take less than a minute.

Step #3

Once it is installed you should see the screen I have included saying the player is installed.

Step #4

Now head over to ABC.com and enjoy your favorite TV shows.

Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar 3.8 – Firefox Add-on

If you are like me then you probably have a lot of websites you visit on a regular basis. I hate typing in web addresses or browsing through my bookmark folders. I love using my BookMarks Toolbar for quick and easy access to all of my websites. The problem is that I soon ran into having too many bookmarks. The Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Add-on for Mozilla Firefox works great. It easily stacks your bookmarks toolbar depending upon how many bookmarks you have. Works great in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.1.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6 .msi package for distribution

First app I was trying to repackage was Mozilla Firefox version 3.0.6. After several unsuccessful attempts I discovered that FrontMotion already repackages Mozilla Firefox into msi packages and distributes them on their site.

I have been having a hard time with the repackager on AdminStudio when it comes to multiple users. With ALLUSERS=1 this is suppose to do a Per-Machine install which means that it points to the install location. But the MSI’s have been trying to repair themselves from the first install location when new users launch them for the first time. I want to be able to remove the MSI’s from the machine after install.

This is the command I am using to do a quiet install for multiple users and it works successfully. I tested under multiple accounts on XP VM and Vista workstation.

msiexec /i "Firefox-3.0.6-en-US.msi" SETMULTIUSER=1 /qb"

I am the student manager for the IT department at Walla Walla University and so we do a lot of re-imaging, formatting student’s computers, faculty, staff, etc. It is very nice once you have a few .msi packages you can write a simple batch script that once executed will do a silent install of all the apps and once finished launch Windows Updates. This can literally save you hours per machine.
