Basically I don’t know how to change it back to how its supposed to be. Where i am able to change the colors and when I click a running program at the bottom its actually gives you a preview of the windows that are up
I think you kill the the desktop Windows manager process and it switch to an non aero theme. Try click on the anyone of the aero theme below in the first pic and then configure it to your preference. If it still doesn’t work then restart Windows and it should come up with the aero look

George asks…
My OS for my IPAQ h5450 is Windows Mobile 2003. I would like to change the OS to WINDOWS MOBILE 6 or 7
Unfortunately, you cannot.
The hardware required to run Windows Mobile 5/6 has higher requirements than Pocket PCs designed to run Windows Mobile 2003.
On top of this, without a cooked ROM package specifically designed for your PPC, you would be left without driver support, leaving your touchscreen, microphone, wifi radio, etc. useless.
*Note: Windows Mobile 7 is not set to release until 2010, and will certainly not be compatible with your iPAQ.
Sorry for the bad news.
Hope this helped…
James asks…
I have the HTC HD2 running (among other things) Windows Mobile 6.5. Will I be able to upgrade to Windows Mobile 7 when it comes out?
First of all, it’s Windows Phone 7 ;).
Secondly, unfortunately you won’t be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 7.
Charles asks…

You cannot install windows on any phone, only windows mobile phones. They come with a mobile version of windows preinstalled, and are designed to run it.

Paul asks…
hey guys google new phone has been released…
but it still lacks a lot of feature that people were expecting for it
so I am thinking it would be wise to wait for WINDOWS MOBILE 7
what do you think guys?
I am a huge windows mobile fan. Windows mobile is way more customizable than droid
Richard asks…

Thanks

Well posting the link here is one way to get more views, but honestly, your video, even before looking at it, sounds like Spam and will be a hard sell as a legitimate infomercial or a tutorial.
Maria asks…
So i downloaded an MP4 (not mpeg4, or whatever), and i need to edit it on imovie.
itll show it importing, but it wont show up. it opens in quicktime (i don’t have pro)
i have imovie07.
what do i do? i can’t download any extra programs or software or anything because this isn’t my computer.
According Apple official website, iMovie (including iMovie ’11/’09/’08) can only import DV, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV and M4V.
Though the MP4 file format defines the storage of MPEG-4 audio, scenes and multimedia content using the ISO Base Media File Format, the MP4 file may also contain any number of audio, video, and even subtitle streams. So it is impossible for the MP4 file to determine the type of streams in an MPEG-4 file based on its filename extension alone.
Therefore, you may have some clues that your downloaded MP4 (not MPEG-4) can not shown up on iMovie
if you wanna to import mp4 to imovie, you have no choice but to use extra program or software to convert your mp4 to imovie compatible mpeg-4 format
the following is a step by step guide on how to successfully import mp4 to imovie
http://www.bigasoft.com/articles/how-to-import-mp4-into-imovie.html?xyh
i also use imovie 07 and have tried the above guide, and the software in this guide is safe to use
since the computer is not yours, why not uninstall the software after the conversion.

i have a sampsung camcorder well its my moms ~ anyways the software disc is lost and now we cant put anything on the computer ~
im wondering if i could download a software or what i have to do ? please help
Movie Maker comes with Windows. Look to see if you have it. You can always go to the Samsung support site to download software for the camera. That’d be my choice.
Joseph asks…
I recently had to hard reset my computer, cleaning out the entire drive. I downloaded Itunes again and tried syncing my Ipod but it said all my music will be deleted, I mostly have non purchased music from various CDs. Someone please help!
Many iPod users have asked this.
It won’t be a problem if you use this iPod to iPod/Computer/iTunes Transfer.
It automatically transfers your iPod and iPhone music, video, playlist to computer and iTunes. Backup all your music and video in a couple of clicks. Really makes music and videos sharing pretty simple and enjoyable. Wish this can help and good luck.
I think its step by step guide is most helpful.

This happens when the directory permissions are incorrect in IIS, the quickest way to reset them is as follows:-
In the Exchange System Manager Console, expanded: servers/protocols/http . Then right click the “exchange” virtual directory and choose properties. Click the access tab at the top and then uncheck directory browsing.
Click apply and OK. Then go back and re-check the directory browsing box. Apply and OK and it should work.
So which to buy, the 7″ Galaxy Tab running Android, or the 10″ iPad, here is a quick guide to the differences:-
Size, Weight and Display:
iPad 242x189x13.4mm and 680g – Screen 10″ and 768*1024
Galaxy Tab 190x120x11.9mm x 380g – Screen 7″ and 600*1024
Verdict:-
If you are traveliing, then the smaller and lighter (half the weight!) Smasung Galaxy Tab has to be the winner, if you need a larger screen, go for the iPad.
Connectivity:
Most people go for the standard WiFi only iPad, the 3g ones are just too expensive, here is a list of the extra connectivity things the Samsung does that the iPad doesn’t, makes phone calls, sends SMS and MMS, has Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity and HSDPA (7.2mbps internet via a SIM card) oh and finally a GPS receiver.
Verdict:-
No competiton here, the Samsung Galaxy has everything missing from the iPad (plus a camera)
Storage:-
The iPad has no expansion slots so you have to choose 16,32 or 64gb when you purchase one, the Galaxy tab allows you to add a Micro SD Card, so you can add cards of upto 32gb as you need, making the standard model have 48gb of space with a card.
Verdict:-
Again the iPad loosing out offering no options or flexibility.
Battery Life
iPad 10hours, Samsung 7hours.
Verdict:-
the iPad wins here, but that isnt surprising as it is twice the weight, a much beefier battery lurks under the cover.
Camera
Simple, the iPad doesnt have one, the Galaxy has 2 (front and rear for vidoe calling), and a flash.
Performance and Useability
In terms of processor the 2 machines are very similar with 1ghz processors, the Samsung has double the RAM at 512mb vs 256mb on the iPad.
Operating systems are similar in design and features, the App store for apple is way ahead with 250,000 apps although nothing like this number are for the iPad, most are for the iPhone. The android market place is currently running at around 70,000 apps and also crucially supports Flash Player 10.1, again lacking in the iPad.
Verdict:-
Difficult one here, think this one is a draw.
Overall Thoughts:
I have now owned both, and for me the Galaxy Tab is a clear winner, it does everything and more the iPad did, after owning an iPad for 3 months, i made a list of the things i needed in a new tablet, a built in sim card for data roaming, sms features, gps postioning, flash player support, memory card support, a bit smaller (i found the iPad a bit big to carry around on the train) and finally a camera. The Samsung Galaxy Tab does all that.
I ruled out the Galaxy tab as I could not find one for less that £450, having found one for £330, for me there really is only 1 machine to have!
here is a quick guide on setting up POP3 on your iPad:-
A quick summary on the differences between the iPad and the iPad2:-
Size and Weight:
the iPad 2 is around 2/3 rds of the thickness of the iPad, and 88 percent of its weight You’ll notice the difference right away. This is a thinner, lighter device.
Price:
Although not officially confirmed, the iPad 2 will be the same price as the iPad.
Performance:
Double the RAM (256mb increased to 512MB) a dual core processor which makes it significanly faster to run apps and the graphics performance is according to Apple “is as much as nine times faster than on the original iPad” From the moment you pick it up, it is faster and more snappy to load and do the things you ask of it.
New Camera:
The iPad 2 gets a couple of cameras, front and back, ready for video conferencing.
Case:
The new smaller, rounded case means unfortunately that your iPad case and stands probably won’t fit the new model.
Screen:
The Screen remains the same on the new model.
Battery:
The 10hour battery life remains in tact!

Use the remote shutdown tool.

Ok so i have two laptops. And i just got them for my birthday and im trying ti figure out all the cool little things i can do with them and im pretty intrigued by the command prompt and what it can do. One of the things im trying to figure out is the remote shutdown. So with one laptop i went to the command prompt and put in… shutdown /r /m computername.
And instead of computername i put both the acutall written computers name and i tried the ip address. When i had finished and pressed enter it said access is denied .
I dont know what this means and how do i get past it?
nooonoo its not for malicious or bad intent. Its just to connect both my laptops to their full potential whether thats from remote shutdowns when its upstairs and im downstairs with the other or file sharing. I did what you said and had it run under administrator but it still said access denied. is there anything i have to do with the other computer or this one?
Most computer firewalls will block a remote shutdown because it can indeed be malicious! If you don’t have the firewalls set to accept such commands they simply will respond with “access denied” messages. Basically the other machine is telling you it will not do what you ask.

William asks…
Can the iPad run any programs that work on a mac?
No, the iPad can only run apps made for iPad (or iPhone/iPod Touch). So unless a Mac app was re-done as an iPad app, it won’t work.
Quicken is not available for iPad, but here’s a list of some other finance apps that do work:

I just bought iPad, but I found iTunes is very difficult to manage files for my iPad, I am not sure if there is any more file management software around for iPad or my iPhone…
Try iPad manager from http://www.ipad-manager.com/ipad_manager__-23-software.html , iPad manager saved me a load of time when doing file exporting and importing, it even able to convert files into ipad format before importing to iPad…
Helen asks…
Hi 🙂
I am a college student and am thinking about buying an iPad recently. However, I am not sure if it is a good idea. I already have a laptop (that works..technically) and can definitely survive without an iPad. But I like it a lot and think that it may be easier to carry around (I move around quite a bit) and store/retrieve information from. (Plus, it will help save the environment if I use it instead of paper 😛 (joking)).
Another issue is that I am guessing that the apps will probably cost more than the device itself if I want it to efficiently replace my laptop (with the need to write essays, time management, etc.).
I would truly appreciate your feedback (especially if you had bought the device,etc) and thank you for your time. 🙂
Its a giant ipod touch.
It cant really be used like a regular laptop, they are different things, ready my 5 minute review here:-
