50% off, you say? One thing that has always irked me about Microsoft is their tendency to charge an insane price for something we'll eventually be required to have. Each version of Windows only sticks around for so long before it's necessary to upgrade, and at $200.00 plus a pop, it can seem a little too expensive for the average user.
Well, Microsoft might be doing something right this time. To secure the adoption rate of the upcoming Windows 7, MS has decided to give everyone a break. Right now, if you pre-order Windows 7 from Microsoft's store or via some direct PC retailers, you can get 50% off! So that means Windows 7 Home Edition would only be $49.99! That's actually a pretty good deal for an operating system! This offer does not apply for the "Ultimate" version of Windows 7, however, so if you're looking for the extra functionality, you'll have to pay the full price for it. See? The big, faceless corporation gives us a break sometimes! ~Andrew Did you like this tip? Tell us by rating or adding to it here: ---

Q: A:
However, when that error pops up, you should still be able to see most of the site. Just keep in mind that some of its parts may not function correctly. You might have a missing image or animation here or there, but most of the site should still be visible. Now, I know some of you may be worried about the error affecting your computer. You may be thinking that it's going to harm your PC. Well, I assure you it won't. The problem lies within that Web site only and there's no way it could damage your computer. Plus, if you go and visit other sites, you'll see that they load up just fine. And once the creators of the other site fix their code, that one will be viewable again as well. In addition, if you're a Web site designer or editor yourself, you'll want to keep an eye on your site and make sure the "Done, but with errors on page" message doesn't pop up at any time. If it does, just go in and look through your source code. The problem usually comes from an improper syntax, an incomplete code or a script that is placed in the wrong HTML section. Just take a look at those things and you should be able to fix the error rather quickly. Then your site will be back up and running the way it should be. As you can see, this error message isn't one to panic about. It's unfortunate that it happens, but there's not really anything you can do about it yourself. If there's any way you can contact the designer of the Web site, do so. They may not even know there's a problem, but if you tell them, I'm sure they'll get it fixed right away. Otherwise, you'll just have to sit tight and keep checking back until the problem is solved. Luckily, it's not an error message that can ruin your whole day. At least it shouldn't! ~ Erin Did you like this tip? Let us know by rating or adding to it here:
Side by Side in MS PowerPoint Did you know that you can view multiple presentations at the same time in MS PowerPoint? It's not a bad thing to know when you're trying to compare presentations or moving items from one to another. To accomplish this goal we're going to need to open all the presentations… obviously, the more you open the smaller they'll appear on the screen so be sure that you need everything that you open. As usual we have two different set of directions depending upon the version of PowerPoint you use.
Everybody should be looking at something like this:
As for what I could do besides compare the presentations… I found that in older versions of PowerPoint I could copy/cut and then paste from on presentation to the other. I also found that I could drag and drop objects! It was quite handy - just grab something with the mouse and slide it over. (Of course, a standard drag and drop will remove the item from the original presentation so be sure it's what you want.) As for PowerPoint 2007, I couldn't drag and drop anything but I definitely had the ability to copy/cut and then paste things from one to the other. To get out of the side by side mode you can simply maximize one of the presentations and you'll be back to your usual view. If you create a lot of presentations and often find yourself copying items from one to another then this is one tip you've absolutely have to try! ~ April Did you enjoy this Office Tip?

No More Indexing Did you know that Windows XP and Vista keep a record of all the files you have saved on your hard disk? Why do they do this? Well, it's basically used for when you do a search for a particular file or folder on your hard drive. Since they both remember everything you have, it makes this process go much faster. On the other hand though, there is a downside to this. Because your computer has to index all of the files you have stored on your hard drive, it slows things way down when just trying to find that particular one you're looking for. It will drag out the normal file commands, such as opening and closing as well. So, if you don't usually search for files on your hard drive in this way, I suggest turning the indexing feature off. It will speed things up so much for you. Here’s how you do it. For Windows XP: 1.Click on Start, Control Panel. (Note: You must be in the classic Control Panel view for this tip to work). 2.Double click Administrative Tools.
3.Double click Services.
4.Double click Indexing Services.
5.Click on Stop and then click OK.
For Windows Vista: Almost the exact same process here, only instead of "indexing Services" you'll look for "Windows Search". Stop that service and enjoy increased search speeds within Windows!
Once you have the Indexing or Search option stopped, your computer will be able to find any of the files or folders you want to access much quicker. Everything will just work so much faster and you and I both know, you can't beat that! Enjoy! ~ Shantala Ramamoorthy How about that? Tell us your thoughts by rating or adding to this tip here:
Low Light Photos Without a Flash Flash photography can be a great tool in the absence of insufficient natural light. Then again, there are situations like live concerts, theatrical performances or even film shoots where you are required to capture everything without using a flash. Flashes might light up your subject, but it can also flatten the image and make it appear one-dimensional. This makes your image look lifeless, with no depth or play of light and shadow (except for the harsh shadow behind the subject). This is particularly true of pop-up flashes that come with your camera. Without a diffuser that normally accompanies external flashes, these built-in flashes lead to over-exposed images and cast a bright spot on the subject, marring the beauty of your image irreparably. Here is where the following tips to beat low light situations might come in handy.

I know I’ve been talking a lot about blogging lately. It is probably because my mom has had me help her set up her own blog and I’ve been looking into all the different options out there extensively. I love Wordpress, but I have zero desire to design a theme for it from scratch. So I wanted to find a great offering of Wordpress themes that were free and easy to use which brings us to today’s cool site! Navigation is setup blog style; you just have to scroll down the page to see the different entries, and then use the prev. or next links at the bottom of the page to navigate through the dates. You can also navigate by category or by month on the side menu. Each entry provides you with Quick Info on the layout, a preview button, and a download button. The Quick Info section tells you what style it is, what it features, and if it is widget ready. Find one you like, then download it, and ta-da you have your very own Wordpress theme making your blog lovely! ~Amanda What did you think of this Cool Site?

OH, WOW!!! The Most Amazing Program We've Ever Offered For $8.97!! "If You Only Buy One Program This Year - Grab This One!!"
Imagine Windows Running Up To 300% FASTER!! You're Computer Will Be Smokin' Fast! Customize, Tweak, Secure, Optimize, And Make 'Er FLY!! It's The Absolute BEST $8.97 You'll Ever Spend On Your PC! Oh WOW!! We just got a mind-blowing deal on System Mechanic 7 and it's by far, the very best program I've ever seen for getting the most out of Windows! You'll be blown away at what this does to your PC - You'll think you got a new computer! I tell ya, personally, I think this is just outstanding! I've seen a ton of software, but the improvements this makes is really nothing short of amazing! It optimizes Windows to be the way it SHOULD have been when you purchased it! Read on - and get ready to be really - and I mean REALLY - impressed! First, I'm seriously impressed at just how easy this software makes it to really get your computer crankin'! I mean, I don't think there's anything on your computer this can't tweak and optimize!
To test, I installed it on my personal machine and it did a quick scan, and then it scared the poop outta me! it came up with a serious warning about a few security problems and gave me some really helpful speed improvement suggestions. Now here's the cool part - With just a couple mouse clicks, I'm now enjoying a MUCH faster -and much more secure - computer! And I honestly thought I was as tweaked out as I could be! Not even close - this was incredible - and all automatic!
What can it do for you? Let's talk speed - this takes your slow PC and turns it into a Ferrari - you'll think your computer is new again (maybe better than new)! It'll be just flying through programs and impressing the livin' daylights out of ya! This has a whopping 19 different ways to crank up the speed on your machine! In fact, many systems see an absolutely incredible 300% improvement after just some automatic adjusting by this program! WOW - that's worth $8.97 in anyone's book! Want to surf the internet at up to 300% faster? Oh, man, this can help! Windows isn't necessarily optimized for the fastest connection out of the box, but this program can grab your settings and squeeze out the speed - you'll surf the internet like crazy! Who wouldn't want to surf up to 300% faster?!!? Heck, it even has a speed tool to measure how faster you connection speed is! Just fantastic! Want more? - Sure ya do! Another thing this does that I'm in absolute love with is it lets you customize over 100 "secret" Windows settings! Stuff that you always wish Windows would let you adjust but there isn't really any direct way to do it. This makes it point-and-click easy!! You can: Optimize the way Windows' Start Menu behaves, speed up networking performance, log in automatically, edit your computer registration data, change multimedia behavior, improve pagefile security, customize explorer's context menus, edit advanced administration options, and much more!! Oh, and just wait till you point your mouse at the Automatic System Maintenance section! I just love this! This part of the program will watch in the background and wait till the system is idle. As soon as you're not using the computer, it will work in the background tuning your computer for absolute peak performance! Here's the really cool part - just touch your mouse, and it stops what it's doing and gives the system back to you! Really! If you've ever been slowed down by a stubborn anti-virus that insisted on scanning while you were working, you know just how cool this is! Oh, and it even lets you pick and choose what optimizations to run!
Another automatic feature I think is just brilliant is the "One-Click" option! It's just what it sounds like - just click the button and System Mechanic runs all of its system enhancement programs and cranks your system up to the next level! Just a button push away! It makes it easy for EVERYONE to have a smokin' system! Of course, no utility suite would be complete without some killer security tools - and this has the best! This program will quickly scan your system and help you find all the holes - then just plug them with a mouse click! I was really surprised when it found not one, not two, but THREE major holes on my personal PC! I clicked the mouse and the world was safe again!
Oh, and that's not all! This also includes both a world-class Anti-Virus (one of the easiest, most comprehensive AVs I've ever used) and a really top-notch Firewall! Either one retails for more than we're selling the entire suite for! WOW! PLUS - it destroys spyware, adware, malware and more. OK, put it this way - if it was made to attack your system, this is going to seek it out and destroy it like a battalion of ticked off Marines! OK, all that's great, but what if your PC is really messed up - like it won't boot? This software can handle that too! Just pop in a recovery CD and System Mechanic will examine your system and get your computer running right again! If you've ever had that sick "why isn't my computer booting" feeling, you can appreciate how great this will be next time it happens! One more thing and I'll try to stop! System Mechanic is just fanatical about grabbing up wasted space on your hard drive! This just blew me away when it found a whopping 1.5 GIG of wasted hard drive space! Geeze - I've had whole hard drives that were smaller than that! This made grabbing that space back a mouse click away! I tell ya - you just can't go wrong here!
OK - can ya tell I'm impressed? There's actually a LOT more this can do, but I don't want to write a book on it (OK, maybe I've already come close)! I'm currently running this software and couldn't be happier with it. My system is definitely faster than before it was installed and I just love the performance increase! If you only buy one software program this year - GRAB THIS! Check out these customer testimonials:
Your price? Get this - just $8.97 and US shipping is FREE! AND - this is a 3 license pack too! WOW!!! We've never had it this cheap!!! When you think of all this can do, for $8.97, it's the biggest no-brainer in software history! Check it out: http://store.worldstart.com/ PS - Seriously, after just using this for a short time, I wouldn't be without it. If WorldStart wasn't carrying it, I'd happily pay the $70 for it somewhere else - it really is that good! PLEASE - take a look at this one, I've NEVER seen a better, more complete utility program! Blows everything else right out of the water!! PS - The price will increase to $18.97 on Wednesday!
