If Word does not check Spelling

Image
One more setting to double check: In the “Normal” style, make sure the “Do not check spelling or grammar” checkbox is unchecked.

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed!?

WHY??? [Window Title] Open Folder [Content] \\mike-pc\g$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. [OK]

The DELL Tech Support person is coming today to replace the Motherboard, LCD and LCD Cable. What are the chances of this not happening again? Never buy DELL again? or Never buy NVIDIA again? Update: some experience problems when watching soapbox video, so here is the same video in YouTube.

Ideas for Windows 8

Use proper units Rename “KB” to “KiB” Rename “MB” to “MiB” Rename “GB” to “GiB” Rename “TB” to “TiB” etc. http://members.optus.net/alexey/prefBin.xhtml http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html   Enhanced Windows Setup Reuse Users folder If Windows 8 finds a “Users” folder in the partition you are going to install Windows, it will attempt to reuse data inside this folder. For example, if the Users folder has a Mihajlo folder, then it will move all the folders other than the folders listed below, to a folder called Mihajlo.Old.     Later on in the Windows Setup, when you create an account called Mihajlo, new %appdata% etc. folders will be created but all the data folders will be preserved and ready to be used from last install.   This means in other words: Old D:\Users\Mihajlo\AppData is moved to Old D:\Users\ Mihajlo.Old \AppData D:\Users\Mihajlo\AppData will be created new.   The following folders will stay: D:\Users\Mih

End of µTorrent usage

This is not the first time µTorrent refused to continue seeding completed torrents when my external HDD was temporarily unavailable. Its design makes the torrents take the ‘red cross’ which forces me to recheck each torrent. Having about 200 torrents with over 150 GiB of data, this is a very time consuming task. http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5342/torrent1822009050621405.png With Vuze, this is not the case. A simple restart of Vuze after the HDD replugged, would make Vuze happily continue seeding torrents. No recheck is necessary. http://i42.tinypic.com/2ikuvlu.png

Going from this view: to this view: has no hidden Outlook options involved. It is simply a matter of moving the second vertical splitter leftwards until you see the above view. WTF.
