You can't run Upgrade Assistant if you are running Vista or XP. You can only run it if you are running Windows 7. Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant should work with XP. Make sure you are running Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant and not Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant. They are featured on the same download page from Microsoft. The 8.1 Upgrade Assistant will not run with XP. However, 8.1 and have very similar requirements, so if your computer will work with 8, it will probably work with 8.1. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

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 2 we checked out Network and Internet. For part 3, we've got a look at hardware and software. Now the full tree is a bit large to display in the newsletter, so click here to see the complete tree.

Emilio, it means the information has been saved to the "saved pages" on your device's stock Android browser. To find a saved page, just tap the little star icon at the top of the browser. It will take you to a screen featuring Bookmarks, Saved pages and History. Tap Saved pages and you'll see a list of your saved pages. Here's how to save a page... Want more?

Carolyn from Creamery, Pennsylvania writes: Every day I get emails that contain red X's and I cannot open the pictures within the emails. What can I do to be able to open these pictures? Thank you! Answer: If you're getting a red X in place of the image in an e-mail a few things could be the cause. The fixes are simple, too. Here' a a list of possible causes and solutions, arranged from the most likely cause to the least likely. Images not displayed link. Most modern e-mail clients and web based e-mail is set up to automatically block pictures from downloading unless you've added the sender to your approved e-mail list. You can click the link at the top of the e-mail to always display images or add the senders e-mail address to your approved senders list. The reason images are blocked by default is that when you download an image, that download can be tracked and used to identify when and if an e-mail is read. Bad picture URL/website down/network issues. If the website that is hosting the images is offline or the address was typed incorrectly in the e-mail before it was sent, the picture may not be able to load. If you right click on the picture you may be able to open image in new tab or inspect the properties. If the image does not load and you receive a 404 or not found error that means the picture address is incorrect and a new e-mail with the correct addresses needs to be sent out to you. Your local internet provider may also be having problems communicating correctly with the web server and you will be able to view the e-mail once the network issues have been resolved.

Bookshelf Porn It's not what you think! Unless you think it's a site devoted to amazing images of bookshelves loaded up with books, and then you're right! I'm a bit of a bibliophile. I love the site of books organized on shelf, I love walking into a shop and being surrounded by books, I love the smell and feel of books. I mean who can resist that old book smell? When they start to take on that vanilla quality is the best! So I bet you can guess how elated I was when I found this site. I can understand the ease and convenience of e-readers, but nothing can take the place of a reading a physical book in my opinion. My love of books was developed as a child, we spend so much time in the library that it was like a second home to me. And then in middle school I'd go there and wait for my PapPap to pick me up. I spent hours browsing this site filled with ebullient joy so I had to share it with all of you. Navigation is easy, just scroll down the page and take it all in. Here are some of my favorites: Reading Nook - I want to curl up there and read for days! Color Coded - this took my breath away. All those books organized by color! A book Christmas tree - exactly what I said it was. Book spines creating art – amazing art made from the organization of book spines on the shelf. I could gush about this site all day, but I won't. Instead, why don't you go check it out for yourself! ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com
