Tips for PC users
================================

Having various issues with XP,Vista, Win7?

A) Just go to:
Start>Run> (type in) SFC /scannow

This will examine your OS files and repair the bad/corrupted files. For XP you need the OS disk, Win7 you don't. Then MS auto update will update a couple files.|
B)The next survival step would be a "repair install"..real easy to do on Win7.
C) Of course, last resort is a total reinstall on a newly formatted drive. Only those looking for serious trouble do an "upgrade"(eg Vista to Win7), without a fresh format and total clean install of OS. 

[iTunes 9.1.1.1, Iphone G3, and Win 7 6.1.7600 Build 7600

May 2010: iTunes seems to have incompatible code, it freezes, locks up with in 2 min of playing a song (no BSOD). It functions with syncing the iPhone G3 OS3, but but freezes after 2min of playing music. Surely iTunes 10, has to be better. There are plenty of music players out there. 05-12-10

Oct 2010:  iTunes 10.1 It does not sync iPhone G3 OS4.1 with Office(Outlook) 2010 via Mobileme or usb. It hung my CPU on 100% in a loop trying to sync (Macdot sync). (Good way to keep a hot processor late at night...check in task manager "Ctrl-alt-del" which program is hanging) After losing phone contacts/calendar(backup often), reinstalling everything (including Win7) 3 times...numerous macdot sync client errors, numerous attempts, I am finally able to sync via usb to iTunes. Mobile me is just not working...no renewal there. Thank goodness iPhone will manually sync via usb to old iTunes 9.2 even though it still gives a dotmac sync error(error went away after a few days), the contacts, calendar are syncing with Outlook 2010 (fresh installs of everything). Itunes 9.2 is the oldest version that works with iPhone OS4.1 
iTunes 9.2 is easily avail on the internet. 11-01-10]

Downloading Images from an Outlook Email:

Three easy workarounds to this problem:

Option a: You can copy the image to the clipboard and paste it into a photo editing tool like Paint or Photoshop.

Option b: Open the email message and save it as an HTML file (File -> Save As -> Web page) – this will save all the embedded pictures in one folder. It’s the same trick that’s often used to extract pictures from PowerPoint slide-shows and is recommended when you want to download multiple images from the same message.

Option c: This is my favorite. Open the e-mail message and under the Message tab, select Other Actions -> View in Browser. This would open your mail inside the default web browser as a regular HTML web page and you can right-click to save an embedded picture.(as a gif)

Option c probably works with Office 2007 only so if you are using an earlier version of Outlook, please use the #b option.

Option d: go directly to  hotmail, google, gmail and save as jpg
