If you work on a large document (I am on a 14 MB document, 400 pages, 98000 words) you may find yourself struggling to just type! I’ve searched for a solution only to find out that I should disable hardware acceleration and the actual display of pictures! No joy! I guess those things might have […]

You may change a heading in your Word document, to find out that your Table of Contents broke and instead of showing the page number for the new heading it gives you an error message, that the bookmark is not defined. If you right click your TOC you are not given the option of updating […]
If I insert an image in a Thunderbird eMail message, even selecting it in Windows Explorer, everything is fine with image colors. However, If I have an image open in some photo editor, then select it (Ctrl+a) and paste it in a message, its colors are washed out (muted). The same happens if I take […]
I am surprised how irresponsible some sites can be, suggesting a fresh install of USB drivers after uninstalling the current ones!

Now Search Regex gives this “Uncaught Error”, making WordPress send you eMail messages to terrify you that perhaps your site is destroyed! The error regards the 26th […]

Make Winamp folders writable, including folders located in your user account /Roaming/Winamp. To identify the plugin that causes this […]
I was so disappointed with Word being so slow when I needed to open the File menu, usually to reopen some recently used file or change some options. Before you try any settings below just think: is your document too large and complex? In this case note that Word may need some time to update […]
Suddenly Thunderbird decided to stop opening web links, both http and https in Chrome, which is my default browser. I’m not surprised by problems like this. Installations, updates, modifications, create problems sometimes. The interesting thing is that the solutions proposed on line did not work, not one of them. I was advised to use the […]
