Support Advisories

A quick reminder regarding support coverage this weekend as we pack up to move to our new office:

We are excited to announce that over the weekend of September 28–30, SpeedLine is moving into a new headquarters. We have expanded our current office facility several times over the past few years, but have now completely outgrown the space.

This move also provides the perfect opportunity to go live with a brand new phone system. The new system will provide a number of improvements in our ability to serve you efficiently—including faster response times for email support.

We have been planning for months to make this office move as seamless as possible for our staff and for you. SpeedLine Support will be taking your calls all weekend as we make the transition. However, due to the potential of minor disruptions in staff, network, and phone system availability during the move, please:

• consider postponing non-urgent calls that weekend until Monday if you can; or
• call ahead so we can better plan to avoid any delays.

With more than a million people facing evacuation this morning, we are watching Hurricane Florence and thinking of our customers who could be affected.

SpeedLine 7.3 Release 10 is available today. This release is PCI affecting. 

SpeedLine 7.3 R8 is now available. This is not a security update.

SpeedLine 7.3 R6 is now available. This is not a security update.

If you are running a very old version of Monetra, you may have already heard from your bank that major card processors plan to stop card processing effective July 1 on any platforms that do not support the TLS 1.2 security protocol.

If you have been disabling or rolling back Windows Updates on your Windows 7 stations to avoid issues with continuous restarts or network printing, please email Support to schedule a time for us to connect in and complete the skipped updates and stop the issues from recurring.

If you prefer to make the changes yourself, visit the Knowledge Base on support.speedlinesolutions.com, and search for the updated steps to: "Prevent continuous restarts (boot loop) after a Windows Update."

In a recent advisory, we recommended steps to prevent continuous restarts after Windows Updates. For some of you, those steps worked. For most others, we have been able to take additional steps to resolve the problem.

Some of you may have experienced continuous restarts (also known as a "boot loop") after recent Microsoft Windows updates of your SpeedLine stations, and potentially your home computers too. 

These restarts are being caused by a conflict with the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, which does not allow the update to finish if it is running. We recommend taking steps to disable this service before the next Windows Update release.
