| Mousepad not working |
I have a Dell Latitude with Windows 7 laptop. Recently, my built-in mousepad stopped working and I needed to use an external mouse to do anything. The mousepad had been working and it's a new laptop, so I wasn't sure why it had stopped working all of a sudden.
After a quick internet search, I realized that I had accidentally disabled the predefined mouse pad functionality. To restart the functionality, all I had to do was to press Function (Fn) and F5 keys simultaneously on my laptop. That did the trick and my laptop mousepad is working without any issues!

| How to open browser window maximized in Windows XP/Windows 7 |
I frequently use Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and often keep multiple browser windows open since I use multiple internet sites simultaneously. From time to time, when I SHIFT-click or Control-New to open a new browser window, the new browser window doesn't open maximized. After doing some internet search, one way I have to open a new window maximized in both Windows XP and Windows 7 environment is the following:
1. Have only one browser window open; close all other windows.
2. On the top right corner, right-click the title-bar and select Size. You cursor will change into a 4-way arrow shaped cursor.
3. Using the 4-way arrow cursor, drag each side of the browser window to maximize it. Once you have adjusted the size of the browser window, on the top right, click Maximize button to maximize it (just in case, the adjustments you had done didn't maximize the window).
4. Click File menu and then select Exit to close the browser window (Do not click x or Close on the top right hand to close the window; you need to go through the File menu. In addition, make sure you have only one browser window open).
5. Re-open browser window - from now onwards, all new windows will automatically open maximized.

| How to play .avi files in Windows Media Player? |
 Recently, I tried to play a .avi file created using Camtasia in Windows Media Player (WMP). However, the WMP returned the adjacent error, stating that it could not play the file because it did not support the attached file or a required codec was missing. Fortunately for me, the fix was simple - all I had to do was to download the video codec for .avi file and once I installed it, I was able to play the .avi file in WMP.
You can download the codecs for Windows and Mac operating systems for free from the TechSmith site:

| So long.....friend, Netscape! |
Read about the AOL's plan to discontinue supporting Netscape in February 2008 with a tinge of sadness. Sadness because I became introduced to the internet using Netscape. Although I had not used Netscape for quite some time, when I read about the discontinuance of Netscape, it was like hearing about the loss of a good friend who played an important part in your life at one point but with whom you lost contact over the years.
Like many users, when I started learning the use of internet, I instantly liked Netscape. It was a good and easy to use browser. When Microsoft's Internet Explorer came out, I initially resisted learning it. However, as Internet Explorer's popularity grew and it came pre-installed on PCs, I also started becoming familiar with it. Over time, I was using Internet Explorer daily, while Netscape became more and more foreign. Like DOS gave way to Windows and WordPerfect gave way to Microsoft Word, Netscape gradually gave way to Internet Explorer in my life until it seemed to have become unfamiliar.
It's an amazing aspect of our lives - whether it is material things or technology, or whether it is neighborhood friends, coworkers, relatives and other people in our lives - things or people with whom you grow up with, and who are a daily and an important and integral part of our lives at some point, gradually fade away from our lives to make way for newer things, technology, friends, coworkers, etc ......and the life goes on.....
