CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

It is mid morning, Saturday, I've gone thru several cups of coffee, I've waltzed for 3 hours with the Adobe Flash crud to see the screncasts till I just don't care anymore.  I have removed every firewall, and allowed ALL the active X toggle functions to drive me crazy with pop ups ad nauseum.  I've read every google on this. I've been ABUSED by the lousy Adobe crud again and yet again. And still, with all that I cannot get even one stinking screencast to show up.  I am a good computer guy, I know a lot, I can do neat things. I KNOW active X  enable is like having unprotected sex with a street transvestite... well I've heard that, I don't KNOW it for a fact... So why do I want this, I say  to heck with the CiviCRM screencast tutorials; Adobe sucks!  I am going to go reset my Security settings to MAX and reestablish the firewall and move on. There has got to be another way to learn this.

Thank you for allowing this blatent flame, I think I'll shut the box down now and go mow the lawn.

More to the point:  is there any other tutorial  to learn certain features, like Profile,  with some assisted direction? (I realize there is a great doc with civiCRM),  Are there other ways ? I could read it  I don't need a security breaching non working frustrating SLOW Adobe video game anyway?
