It may not be enough to simply import your .wab from Outlook Express into Windows Live Mail (WLM). The problem being Outlook Express saves a persons name as “name” and not “first name” and then “last name.” Windows Live mail may not auto fill correctly when you type in a persons name. Here is how you fix it. 1. Assuming you have your .wab (Windows address book) already copied and moved over to your new...
Windows XP life cycle should be standard moving forward
I can’t imagine how much money Microsoft has made in the last year. All of the businesses out there purging Windows XP from being used under their roof. All of the consumers running XP seeing the news of it’s end of life, and then upgrading to a newer Windows. The numbers must be astronomical for Microsoft.

What wireless router should I buy?
It’s a common question that gets asked a lot, and I’m here to shed some light on what I have learned. First of all a lot of ISP’s are incorporating wireless and a four port wired LAN into their modems. I know ATT does this with their U-Verse and Comcast does this with their newest modems. So if you have a wireless light on your modem you will not need to buy a separate wireless router, you already have wireless capability...
Java Version 7 Update 51 forces the use of the exceptions site list
If you are having problems with your Java telling you that your security settings do not allow this applet to run, you will need to add the site to the security exceptions list inside Java. A lot of online games like Yahoo Games will need this action performed if you want to ever play them again.
