    May 18th, 2012 by Aseem | File in: How-To

    So I have a few Macs and a few PCs in my house and it’s always fun trying to get everything to communicate with each other. Luckily, with OS X Snow Leopard/Lion and Windows XP/7, communication between the different platforms is pretty good. Earlier is used to be a royal pain to get the two [...]

    It seems like every time Microsoft releases a new version of Office, they move everything around! You get used to seeing one thing under one menu and then next version of Office moves that option to another menu! Grrrr. I’ve upgraded to Office 2010 and one of the most common features I use is the [...]

    I’ve been playing around with Windows 8 Consumer Preview for a few days now and it’s definitely taking me a little time to get used to the whole change in the UI. Along with the Start button being removed, you now have to access the new Metro apps in an odd hovering way. When you [...]

    Like Windows 7 was to Windows XP (See our previous post on the differences between Windows XP and 7), Windows 8 is supposedly a “completely re-imagined” version of Windows from start to finish. It’s being rewritten so that it can run not only on desktops and laptops, but also on tablet PCs in a much [...]

When you start typing a name [...]

    Merge Two Partitions in Windows 7

    May 12th, 2012 by Aseem | File in: How-To

    One common complaint that I get from friends and family is that their computers with default system configurations from Dell, HP, etc often times make the C partition too small and therefore forcing customers to figure out a way to extend the partition in order to get more free space. Unfortunately, when you search about [...]

    If you’ve been using Windows for as long as I have, you have probably run into your share of weird error messages. One that I got recently when trying to delete a file was: Could not find this item. This is no longer located in X. Verify the item’s location and try again. This was [...]

    So I encountered a strange problem recently where my mouse pointer/cursor would randomly jump around the screen, making it impossible for me to type anything! I never had this problem before, but once I upgraded my Acer laptop to Windows 7 64-bit, this problem with the cursor flying all over the screen started occurring. Anyway, [...]

    One really good and really annoying feature of Windows 7 is that by default a lot of files are off-limits when it comes to editing. For example, if you try to edit the HOSTS file in Windows using Notepad, it will give you an error message saying Access is Denied. And if you try to [...]

    Fix Outlook 2010 Won’t Open Problem

    May 8th, 2012 by Aseem | File in: Office Tips

    I have Outlook 2010 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system and up till now it’s been working fine. Yesterday, I went to open it and I got the following error message: “Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.” What’s sad is that I’ve had this EXACT same problem in Outlook 2007 and [...]
