Every time I go on the web I see a box that says I need to download a Flash Player. I've tried once or twice, and I get some odd type of flash player that installs a bunch of other junk with it. What do I do to update Flash Player properly? Those tricky little reminders to update Flash Player are a prime way to sneak unwanted toolbars and add-ons onto your computer. They do offer a Flash Player download, but with strings attached. My advice is to never click on one of those suggestions to update Flash Player. If you think you legitimately may need a Flash Play update, go to Adobe's official site and download any updates from there. Click here to go to get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. You'll notice an option for a free McAfee Security scan, but you can just uncheck that and choose install. Make sure you turn on automatic updates for FlashPlayer or regularly check Adobe for updates. That way you know you'll always have the latest version. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Jim from Morrisville, Pennsylvania writes: First off, I am using WordPerfect X4 and to me seems easier than using Word. When I used to copy sections of your newsletter to WP, I could copy then paste graphic into doc. At first It would not let me just copy and paste. I have to save, then insert graphic. Sometimes when I do this and then try to insert graphic, all I get is a blank box. Is problem with newsletter or is it my WP X4? Thanks. Jim, there isn't necessarily a problem with WordPerfect or the newsletter. Here's why you have to save the image to use later. The images you see in the newsletter aren't actually contained in the newsletter. With all those images, the newsletter would be much too large a file to send. The images are actually imbedded in the newsletter using a link to an Internet address where that image had been uploaded to a server. You may be viewing an image of a Surface Pro below: But what is actually there is the link to the location where this image is displayed on our server: http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/images/ct-images/2013/09/surface2cropped.jpg By saving the image, you are downloading an actual copy of the image to your computer and inserting it into your document. Some programs will display embedded images when the information is copied and pasted. Others will not. If your intent is to archive the information, the only way to be sure that you actually have the images is to download and save them. If you don't mind, I'll throw in a little sales pitch here. All of our articles are archived on a monthly basis with graphics in our Tech Tips Monthly eMagazine. It's free for Premium Members. As for the difficulty you're having inserting the saved graphics into your documents, I can think of a couple of possible issues. Make sure you've saved the actual image and not the whole web page. Open it up where the image is saved to check. Also be careful of the size of the image you're trying to insert, it might possibly be too large. I was searching through some WordPerfect troubleshooting forums looking for problems similar to yours and it seems that some people having image issues in WordPerfect have found success by uninstalling and reinstalling WordPerfect. Hope this info helps. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Lynn from Avon Park, Florida asks: How can my brother next door connect to my Wifi Network using his Android Tablet? He doesn't have a signal. I put his Mac number in my router, but to no avail. If your WiFi signal was reaching your brother's house, it would be fairly simple for him to connect. He would just have to log on with the username and password that you provided. But it's possible that your router just doesn't get to his place. I'm not sure how far away he is, but that could be a factor. A home router won't send a signal much farther than 200 feet or so. Most routers are omnidirectional, they send the signal out equally in all directions from where the router is located. Some routers will allow you to add a direction antenna that sends the signal in one direction, so you could aim it at your brother's place. Other options include... Want more?

AJM from Illinois writes: Under the File Menu, the Send To Options for-Page by email & Link by email are greyed out on my Windows 8 PC. I have this feature on my old Vista PC. How can this be corrected? Thanks. Answer: It sounds to me like there is no default e-mail client set up and configured for your Windows 8 installation. You can use the integrated mail program to send and receive mail in Windows 8. If you have a mail program set up but the option is still greyed out, you may need to restore it as the default mail application. Start by clicking on the Charms Bar (lower right corner of the screen) and clicking "settings..." Just click WorldStart to learn more!
Delete App History In Windows 8 When a Metro app is closed in Windows 8, it does not close completely, it just pauses. This feature allows users to multitask and switch between different apps quickly without having to launch the application from. The problem with this is that the app stores data which some users may want deleted. So in this small tip I'm going to show you how to Metro application history as well as terminate any background applications. Deleting Your Application History Press the Windows + I key combination on your keyboard for the sidebar to appear, when the sidebar appears click on the 'More PC Settings' option...
