Two pieces of information that need to be entered when Windows is first installed are the ,b.Registered Owner and Registered Organisation. If you bought the computer with Windows already installed then this information (which gets used when you install other software) will not contain the correct values.

Not everyone uses a fast connection to the internet, there are still some people using dialup connections. Unfortunately some web page creators (they are certainly not webmasters) forget about this and create web pages that are way bigger than they ought to be making their page almost unusable to those on dialup and in many cases even frustrating those using broadband connections where no one should have to wait more than a second or two for a web page to load. If you are being constantly frustrated by slow loading web pages then why not turn off the images in your browser and speed the loading of the page that way. You should still see all the regular text content of the page as well as the alternate text that provides the same information as the images that you are not seeing so that you will not lose much by it and the pages will load a lot quicker. This of course does assume that the web pages have properly defined alt attributes on the images.
Some software is supplied with a dongle which must be plugged into the computer (usually a parallel port) in order for the software to be able to run on that computer. This is about as secure as it gets with ensuring that people have the appropriate licence to run the software since the dongle comes with the licence and without the dongle the software will not run at all. The problem comes where you do not have an available port on the computer to plug the dongle in. This article has some suggestions on how you might solve that problem.
Another of my early CSS articles and one that is extremely easy to apply to any web page are these styles for producing dropcaps (where the first letter is several lines high) and minicaps (where the text uses smaller uppercase letters instead of lowercase ones.
Sometimes it is only after you switch to a different provider that you realise some of the many excellent features you prior provider made available to you. Having recently switched Internet Service Providers I am already disappointed in the service provided by the new ISP.
Even when all you are looking for from an ISP is a way to connect to the internet, different ISPs have different features quite apart from the price of the access. Having used this particular ISP for several years before recently switching I decided to write up a review.
The interactive web section of the site was becoming a little messy with pages on web hosting, server side scripting and plugins all jumbled together. This has now been rectified as I have split the plugins and server side scripting page into three.
If you hadn’t already subscribed to my newsletter before last weekend then you did not receive my latest newsletter by email and will have to wait several more weeks until I add it to the web site before you can read it. To avoid the wait next month, sign up for the newsletter now and be one of the first to read it rather than one of the last.
