Fix Your PC!

WOW!!

We knew the Fix PC Problems software was going to be popular, but WOW! This program was responsible for a record day on Friday! Thanks to all who ordered (I think our servers are still smoking)!

If you missed out, we were able to get additional stock. Again, this program makes fixing and tweaking your PC really easy. It has 101 different problems and their solutions. Just double-click the tip or trick you need and you'll get an audio / video presentation on how to do it. It also includes a book with written instructions for all the tips so you don't have to jump back and forth between the CD and the computer.

What will it help you fix and maintain? Tons of stuff (click here for a larger list) - Hard drive installation, keyboard problems, fixing a floppy drive, stopping junk mail, clearing your IE history, using scan disk, using defrag, error messages, uninstalling, creating a start up disk, making boot up faster, saving electricity, shutting down fast, open programs automatically, setting IRQ's, installing drivers, zipping / unzipping, adjusting taskbar, and tons more!

This retails for $39.95, your price is only $16.97 and US shipping is FREE! Note that the examples in this program cover win 95, 98, and ME - however, much of it still applies to XP. Here's the link for more info:

Q:
Help! I use Outlook Express and there are times I have stuff sitting in my outbox that I decide to add to or modify. However, the other day I did this and accidentally hit the Delete button. So, I went into my Deleted Items folder and tried dragging the message back to the Outbox. It didn't work and I had to re-do the whole message. I know it's a minor problem, but is there any way around it?

A:
Yes!

I've done that a few times myself. All you need to do is double-click the message in your Deleted Items folder. When it opens up, you'll find you can just click the Send button.

Unfortunately, this only works if the message you deleted was an outgoing mail message. So, if you were hoping for some kind of a re-send option, I don't have it.

That said, if anyone knows a really easy way to force Outlook Express (not Outlook) to re-send a message, I'd love to hear it. Just reply to this newsletter if you know a way.

Tip of the Day

Use Internet Explorer To Open Files

If you're like me, you always have a web browser open. Well, if that browser is Internet Explorer, you could be doing more with it than just surfing the web!

Internet Explorer can also open all sorts of files. Just drag and drop a file into your Internet Explorer window and watch it open. I use this all the time for looking at JPEG's and GIF's since it takes a lot less time to load IE than it does my imaging software.

In addition, it can also open text files, Outlook e-mails, and even MS Office documents (sorry, you still need to have MS Office on your computer for that to work).

Not enough for ya? You want more?

Well, try dragging a folder to an open IE window. It will list all the items in the folder for you!

Drag & Drop:

After:

So, next time you need take a quick look-see at a file or folder, just drag and drop it to Internet Explorer! Its usually much faster than opening the file with its native application, plus you look really cool if someone is watching you do it (never underestimate the "wow" factor :-)

Amanda's Cool Site of the Day

Write Like an Egyptian

Now for some Monday fun! Let’s walk like an Egyptian... er, I mean, write like an Egyptian.

Type in your first name and then click inscribe. Then the next page loads up with a picture of your name in hieroglyphics.

Print out your name if you like or consult the scribe to find out what the hieroglyphics in your name mean. The rest of the site is pretty neat, if you decide to visit the other countries!
