I don't like depending on someone else to keep my info safe; not to mention secure. Lou you'll need to get an e-mail client. You could use Microsoft Mail or purchase Microsoft Outlook or use another e-mail client like Thunderbird. These programs will download your emails from your e-mail provider's server and into a program on your computer. Here's an article with some information on Windows Mail and Thunderbird. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Bob from Adelaide, Australia writes: I purchased Windows 8 Pro Pack 12 months ago and the activation key code will not activate. I have tried all avenues to find a solution. to no avail. It seems to me Microsoft has a problem and can not solve it. I have wasted $49.00. Bob, the price you cited concerns me. The Windows 8 Pro Pack (which upgrades Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro) retails for $99.99. I checked the pricing in both the U.S. and Australia. If you were able to purchase it for $49 in either U.S. or Australian dollars, you may have your hands on a counterfeit copy and that would explain why it won't activate. There are also a couple of other things, I'd like to confirm. I will assume you already have Windows 8 installed on your computer. The Windows Pro Pack is an upgrade for systems already running Windows 8. It won't upgrade another operating system to 8. I know this sounds silly, but it does happen, make sure your computer didn't already come with Windows 8 Pro installed. To upgrade Windows 8 Pro you'll need to install the Windows 8 or 8.1 Media Center pack. There's always the options of contacting Microsoft Support, though I know you say you've tried all avenues. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

Robert from Raymond Maine writes: How do I get my Windows Paint program back? I tried to repair it from the program files but it says it has a damaged file and won't install. I am running XP Pro and IE Answer: You can reinstall Paint or other Windows built-in programs you are missing fairly easily in Windows XP. Start by clicking the start button then click control panel.

Eugene from Chino California asked us: "Is there a simplified tree, maybe in several pages, to show what is in Windows 7 in such things as the control panel or any of the solution devices which are used for maintaining a PC?" We thought that was a great idea and decided to do a special series. In part one we looked at System and Security. In part two we checked out Network and Internet. Part three was hardware and software. Part four was Programs. In part five we saw User Accounts and Family Safety. For part six, we've got a look at Appearance and Personalization.
