Title: What can I get that's better than the GPA freeware- seems wrought w/bugs
Post by: SoAlone on August 19, 2013, 05:51 am
Sorry, but I've had nothing but problems, and I'm not alone. Not in principal, just functionality, bugs, etc. One minute it decrypts, next it doesn't.

Then I go in the next day, and try to decrypt the same message and it does so flawlessly. Should I get Symantec or something or is this open source freeware still the way to go?

Please don't hit me with too much tech jargon. I get the gist of it, and I begrudgingly came to this scene dragging my feet, but I'm here. Go easy on me!!

You sound like you are here against your will. If someone is making you do something you don't feel comfortable with, tell an adult you trust, like a teacher. No one has that right.


as above GPG4USB is much simpler.

Thanks both of you. I guess I'll delete it and redownload it.

@HungryGhost - I needed that one. Been a rough few. Not PGP related, just life.

Thanks guys.

[edit] - My USB ports have been fried along with my sound in/out, spkrs etc. + Cam. - Wouldn't you know it, 4 months after warranty expires.

Checked continuity and power is going to them, but I did jar the laptop one day. OK, I dropped it. Hairline crack in MB? Idk.

Been getting by w/o so long until now I haven't needed those things. - Bluetooth solves my sound problem.

Can one get by w/o using a USB stick?? I mean is it so preferable that I should motivate my lazy azz to fix this old laptop? (3 yrs old)

I figured I got your attention, I better fess it all up.

You can install GPG4USB on your hard drive.

Thank you. A concise answer to a question that read like a novel. Thanks again.

PS. I never picked on nerds!. (well maybe a little)
