| Fern from WV writes: Why do I keep getting the message that my Windows 7 is not genuine? How can I fix this? It came on my Gateway computer that I bought in Dec. 2010. Windows 7 includes a Windows Genuine Advantage checker which verifies that your copy of Windows is legally licensed. However, sometimes there is an error which causes Windows to forget it is registered – but there is an easy fix. The first step is to look at the side of your computer, or on the bottom for a Windows Authenticity Label. This label will show your Windows 7 serial number. Write down the serial number. Once the serial number is written down, click the Start button and in the search box type: Activate Windows In this window you can enter in your product key and proceed with activation. You may need to click the Change product key button and type in the product key again. Once activated, you should receive the below message and will no longer be prompted that your copy is not genuine. Hope this helps! ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version --- Raul from Puerto Rico asks: Hey, Raul – it's not a ridiculous questions at all – hopefully this offers some insight. How do you attach it? Usually via a little paper clip icon in your e-mail software. Just click it and you should get a dialog box that lets you navigate to, and attach, the file of your choice. And no, it doesn't take the file off your computer, it only sends a copy of it. A word of caution though. Keep an eye on the size of the file you're sending. Your recipient may not appreciate downloading a 200 megabyte file. ~ Steve Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

A Sad Fact, But a True One.... Hard drives are sensitive, complex mechanical devices. No matter what, 100% of the time, they will eventually fail - causing a crash. This can be a disaster. What will you do when this happens? Sure, you can pull out your program CD's (like your Windows program) and reinstall your operating system. But what about ALL OF YOUR DATA? You know, pictures, videos, files, settings...the list goes on and on. If your system crashes, I've got news for you: that stuff is gone for good! Now consider this: there's hundreds of millions of computer users out there, and 80% of them do NOT back their files up. Why? Because until now, backing everything up was a long and complicated process. You'd have to find specific things to back up, deal with directories, file extensions, etc. IF you were able to figure it out, there's no way you'd have the time to back up every single thing. I mean...you've gotta sleep sometime, right? These problems are over for good! We've found an automatic backup hard drive that does ALL of that work for you! Did I mention it's automatic?

Is there any way to block Facebook posts regarding games and game requests? Besides being a monumental waste of time, Facebook game notifications and requests gunk up your feed and make it more difficult to view the posts and comments you actually want to see. Since switching to the "Timeline" view and adding the extra ticker feed, game notifications have been lessened, but they can still be a problem if you have several friends who are prolific app users. If constant Farmville requests have you fuming and an endless stream of Gang Wars notifications have you ready to pull out your own gat, there are several ways to stop all the unwanted junk in your feed.

I have a lot of typing to do as my job entails preparing lot of documents, SOPs etc. Thanks in advance. Hi, Adil, thanks for the great question! Actually, you already HAVE free software that will dictate as you speak. Did I just blow your mind? For several of the last iterations, Windows has included ways to make their system more accessible for people with physical challenges. In Windows XP and Vista these were called "Accessibility Options". In 7, the name has been changed to "Ease of Access". These assistants include different screen displays (such as high contrast themes), a screen magnifier, and a "narrator" that will tell you what's happening on your screen. What we're really interested in, though, is speech recognition. (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
iPad Save Images At first glance, it doesn't seem all too easy to save images on your iPad, but thankfully the solution is far easier than you think! So next time you want to save an image, simply tap your finger and hold on the desired image – a dialog box will pop up and prompt you to save the image. Then check your photos, and voila! ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version --- Adjusting the settings on an Android onscreen keyboard is done–surprisingly–in Android keyboard settings, where many optional features are available (vibrate and sound, auto-correct, and auto-capitalization, etc.). One way to access these settings, is by meandering through the following series of menus; Settings>Language & input (or Language & keyboard)>Android keyboard. Or, on at least some models, there's a shortcut available to the settings through one of the keys. In addition–again on certain models–a settings key can be added to the keyboard for even quicker and easier access. Note: This is displayed in Android 4.0. Long press the microphone key and slide to the Settings button. (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)
Creating Macros in MS Excel Microsoft Excel is the one of the most popular spreadsheet programs used worldwide. It has a variety of features such as data storage, creating reports and charts, using mathematical functions, performing statistical analysis, ability to connect to databases, making use of pivot tables, V-lookups etc. One such very useful feature within Microsoft Excel is the ability to make use of "macros". What is a Macro? A macro is a recording of the commands and actions which are used in order to perform a task. Whenever you find that there is a particular task or series of tasks which you perform often, it may make sense to save the sequence of tasks as a macro for reuse later. Thus the applications of Macros to perform frequently occurring repetitive tasks can help free up your time to be spent more productively on doing something else instead. Learn how here!

Up until I found this site, I had been keeping track of my grocery list on my smart phone, but then juggling between the list and the calculator got really annoying, so I started looking for a better way. Enter the Pocket Mod! The Pocket Mod is a personal organizer that you can customize and put together to suit your specific needs. On the main page you'll find a description of how it works, why it is neat, and a good video on how to fold it. When you're ready to make your own, just click the Create a Pocket Mod link at the top right side of the page. I turn mine in a multi-page grocery list! Once folded, it is the perfect size to keep with my smart phone and go back forth between the calculator and list. So once the application loads, you can select what type of page you want to make, then drag and drop it into one of the pages of the pocket mod. Since I make grocery lists, I click on Organization and then select Simple List (yes I know there is a shopping list in the folder, but this list you can customize! Just click the little tool button above the right corner of the list and you can type in your items), then I fill it out with my grocery list, and when I'm finished click on the list and drag it over one of the blank slots on the right. Once you've filled all the pages of the pocket mod, print it out, then reference the folding video to put it together. I love this site! This is such a functional application, go check it out! ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version --- My roommate and I were having a discussion about goats the other day, and collectively we wondered what you call a group of goats. Were they a herd? A flock? A gang? A mob? I've learned over the years that you can never assume what any group of animals is called, so I decided to look it up and found this lovely chart with a listing of animal names – not only for groups of animals, but also what the male and female of each species is called. It turns out that a group of goats can be called a herd, a tribe, or even a trip. The site is easy to use – just scroll down the chart to find the animal you are looking for – they are listed in alphabetical order. The chart has columns for the name of the Animal, Male, Female, Baby, and Group. Once you've found the animal you were looking for, you can just read across the chart to see what the appropriate name is for each category. If you want to learn more about the animal you're looking up, just click on the animal's name and you'll be whisked away to a page of information about it. I clicked on goat and learned that they've been domesticated for at least 10,000 years, can live for 9 to 12 years in wild, and that both male and female goats sport horns and beards! And that's just a small portion of the information served up on the Goat page. I think that this would be a great site to visit with your kids if they are interested in animals, because they can learn all about different animals with just a click. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/animals/Animalbabies.shtml ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com From the Radio to Your iPod and Favorite MP3s...
