Operational Status / Fully operational 08/07/2020
« Last post by norman on March 16, 2020, 07:09:48 am »
We are not affected by the Corona virus owing to the way we operate. We have not furloughed or found the need for Government grants.

The only thing affected is site visits. We will not be doing any site visits for the foreseeable future.

Loadmaster / Error upon running Loadmaster
« Last post by norman on February 24, 2020, 04:12:32 pm »
You get an error before getting to the login screen.

The message you are getting simply means that you do not have open/read/write permissions on the folder C:\ProgramData\Zipzap Computers Limited\Loadmaster

This is a problem with Windows permissions.

Add a user to the Userlist for this folder called Everyone and give it full access.

TPN Invoicing / Do not install as an Administrator!
« Last post by norman on November 21, 2019, 04:59:27 pm »
You should always install TPN Invoicing as a STANDARD USER.

This applies to all the programs we produce and to executable programs in general.

If the program requires a higher level of authority to perform a task then it won't be able to as it is already being run with the highest level. It will therefore fail.

Operational Status / Bulletin Board
« Last post by norman on October 30, 2019, 08:51:24 pm »
The Bulletin Board and the backup site have been altered to use SSL and are now both https sites.

Used LetsEncrypt and Certbot. Very easy to install on the Raspberry Pi.

This is to stop any problems of security blocking by Google Chrome and Firefox.

Miscellaneous / Email Security Certificates
« Last post by norman on October 25, 2019, 08:49:38 pm »
Email Security Certificates ensure that emails that you send cannot be tampered with before they are received at the destination email address. Any tampering is notified to the recipient thus providing peace of mind. If the email says that it's genuine then it's genuine and came from whoever sent it and it has not been tampered with in any way after it was sent. Certificates are totally unique to one email address.

Certificates can be low cost or even totally free. Search for them on the internet.

They are supplied by Authorised distributors only, like Sertigo (Comodo), Digicert, Thawte, Symantec, Actalis etc. They are easily applied for and installed.

If everyone used Email Certificates then it would cut down on spamming and scamming.

Look for the little padlock in emails you receive. All emails you get from us will have one.
