The title doesnt quite say it all so let me explain something first. last year ,my buddy was in a computer class and the class gave out windows7 free. He already had windows7 on his PC so he had 2 codes he didnt use. He gave 1 code to my friend (64 bit) and 1 code to me (32bit). I upgraded from windows vista to windows7 32bit with the code and have been using it for about a year. That being said im upgrading parts in my PC to make it run the newer games better, and since 32 doesnt use enough RAM i need to get 64. Heres my question. i went to the MS website to look at their windows7 product page, http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/list/categoryID.50726…

Hello, Due to the file size of the email, it seems like a screen capture copy-n-paste into Outlook 2010 is in a Bitmap format (e.g. very large in file size). Therefore, to reduce the size of these emails, is there a GPO setting to change the default file format to either png or jpg? Cheers, Cosomo Continue reading...

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. A while ago I was having networking issues and was forced to reload Windows on my laptop from my recovery cd. The recovery solved the issues but of course deleted all my files and settings. Previous to reloading Windows I ran a Windows backup to save the files and settings. I also copied a system image to save the programs. The issue I am having now is with Office 2010. I want to reload Office 2010 back onto my laptop. I originally bought Office by downloading it from Digital River. I do not know how to reload Office 2010. When I go to advanced recovery options on the laptop, Windows does not recognize my external har…
