Links not opening? Maybe they are!
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8
A question one of our start page users asked, prompted this tip. If you
use Internet Explorer 7 or 8, with tabbed browsing enabled, you might
not be aware that by default, when a new tab is created, it does not
open. If you click a link that opens in new window - as many do - you
may think the link is not working. It probably is, an it probably
spawned a new tab in Internet Explorer; the trouble is, Internet
Explorer does not go to the newly created tab by default. This may cause
many of you to think perfectly good links are broken.

This is a good tip for ALL Internet
Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 users - because it will save you a
lot of annoyances - and a lot of frustration.
Start off by opening Internet Explorer and
clicking "Tools", "Internet Options". In the General Tab (the default)
go into the Tab section and click settings (see fig. 1 below):

fig. 1
Make sure you check the box that says
"Always switch to new tabs when they are created." (See fig. 2 below.)

Click "OK" to save your changes, then click
"Apply" "OK" in the main dialog, if prompted. This will solve the
problem some of you are having when you click a link and it appears
nothing happens.

Reimage
-
Before you call a computer repair tech
or spend several hundred dollars - consider Reimage! In an era when
big companies like Best Buy's Geek Squad spend millions and millions
of dollars extolling the virtues(?) of its sundry services, many folks
with broken computers will simply pick up the phone and call Geek Squad
or another heavily-advertised computer repair service. It's not until
the repair is finished that the computer owner realizes how Geek Squad
can afford all those cute(?) Volkswagens and that multi-gazillion-dollar
ad budget. The shock is the bill - if you have your computer repaired
in your home it will cost $299.95 - if you lug it into a Best Buy near
you, you'll pay $199.95. And what do you get for that much money?
If
your computer isn't running well and is in need of repair - READ THIS
before you call Geek Squad or someone else!
