<p>Do you experience a app that keeps crashing when you try to use it on your ipad? &nbsp;A few things to try would be to close the app out and you can find out how to do that here. &nbsp;The other thing to try would be to power the device off and back on. &nbsp;Here is the how to for it. (Note: the button to press is the one in the top right corner not the home button)</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 18px; ">Restarting your device</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 20px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; ">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just found out if you recently upgraded to Outlook 2010 and no longer have the auto correct options.&nbsp;&nbsp; All you have to do is copy winword.exe to the office14 folder. This may work with other office versions too but here is where it needs to be copied and stuff.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>Copy Winword.exe from here C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\<br />
	to<br />
	C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14</p>
<p>If you don&#39;t have a Office12 folder then do a search for winword.exe and copy it to the Office14 folder (Outlook 2010) or other office folder for previous versions. &nbsp;</p>
<p>If you find this useful and wish to donate to my site you can but not required, Just look at this being alot cheaper fix than purchasing office, outlook, or a tech support call to microsoft lol.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; ">Note: I take no responsibility if you mess up your software if you do a simple copy you should be fine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ran into this issue due to using the windows ieak toolkit for Internet Explorer 7/8 to compile a custom exe.&nbsp; Well everything initially tested okay and after deployment we noticed that IE7 and IE8 was not operational anymore.&nbsp; They would get a internal webpage but nothing else like the settings are being blocked from group policy, well sort of&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>I found that when creating the custom exe from the ieak toolkit it left in some options that actually were the cause.&nbsp; look in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\CUSTOM\</p>
<p>There was a file in there called install.ins and when you open the file you will see the last line was the whole problem&#8230;.&nbsp; What we did was compile a runas program that will just delete this file off of all workstations instead of worrying about the contents of the file.&nbsp; Once the file has been removed group policy for internet explorer works just fine.&nbsp; If you want to keep the install.ins file then remove everything below proxy including the line that says proxy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you purchase Windows 7 from Microsoft Store, you have the option to download an ISO file or compressed files. The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD. </p>
<p>	The ISO file contains all the Windows 7 installation files combined into a single uncompressed file. When you download the ISO file, you need to copy it to some medium in order to install Windows 7. This tool allows you to create a copy of the ISO file to a USB flash drive or a DVD. To install Windows 7 from your USB flash drive or DVD, all you need to do is insert the USB flash drive into your USB port or insert your DVD into your DVD drive and run Setup.exe from the root folder on the drive. </p>
<p>	<b>Note:</b> You cannot install Windows 7 from the ISO file until you copy it to a USB flash drive or DVD with the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool and install from there. </p>
<p>	The copy of the ISO file that the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool creates is bootable. Bootable media allows you to install Windows 7 without having to first run an existing operating system on your machine. If you change the boot order of drives in your computer&#39;s BIOS, you can run the Windows 7 installation directly from your USB flash drive or DVD when you turn on your computer. Please see the documentation for your computer for information on how to change the BIOS boot order of drives. </p>
<p>	You may make one copy of the ISO file on a disc, USB flash drive or other media in order to install the software on a computer. Once you have installed the software on a computer, the license terms that accompany the software apply to your use of the software and replace these terms. The license terms for Windows 7, once accepted, permit you to make one copy of the software as a back-up copy for reinstallation on the licensed computer. If you do not delete the copy of the ISO file you made to install the software on your computer, then the copy of the ISO file constitutes your back-up copy.</p>

<p>Finally an Easter egg in Windows 7 !</p>
<p>A hidden &quot;GodMode&quot; feature that lets users access all of the operating system&#39;s control panels from within a single folder.</p>
<p>By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.</p>
<p>The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.</p>
<p>To enter &quot;GodMode,&quot; one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following:</p>
<p>GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}</p>
<p>Once that is done, the folder&#39;s icon will change to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options.</p>
