I am a long time user of Chris-TV, a sofware that handles many analogue PCI TV cards – I use it with a Hauppauge’s dual tuner PVR-500.
I think this software product lost some of the attributes that once, years ago, made it the only viable solution for those who really wanted to use their PC [...]

After the failure of my 27 months old XFX 8800 Ultra, I bought an ATI 5970 VGA card, which is impressive hardware on paper, yet served by very imature drivers. This card performs great on 3D games but is miserable on “simple” 2D desktop applications, namely for video – and I am a very intense video [...]

SugarCRM’s integrated upgrade wizard, failed to update my Sugar 5.2 install. The diagnose stated that all requirements were met, but then it silently [no explanation given] redirected me to the homepage after the upload of the upgrade package, which in my case was SugarCE-Upgrade-5.2.0-to-5.5.0.zip.
Tired of the failures, I downloaded the silentUpgrade-CE-5.5.1RC.zip. This file unpacks to [...]

Some folders of mine have hundreds to thousands of PDF files, mostly corresponding to conference proceedings and ebooks.
I would like to browse these folders with the same ease I browse photos, using software like the free http://www.irfanview.com/ or the commercial http://www.acdsee.com/ . Unfortunately, these tools do NOT natively support PDFs. If you search, you’ll find a “solution” based [...]

After years of Word 2003 usage, my Word installation developed two problems:(1) a slow winword.exe boot;(2) a “hang”/delay effect, when switching from other apps to winword (technically, a slow onfocus event response).
In order to fix (1):
browse toC:\Documents and Settings\YOUR-USER-NAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Templatesand delete every file there is or, at least, normal.dot.This will force winword to reconstruct the [...]

Descobri uma extensão do Firefox, que integra uma ferramenta de blog no browser.Comecei a escrever este post, NÃO a partir do meu habitual BlogJet , mas a partir dessa extensão, que se chama ScribeFire.
As únicas perguntas de configuração do blog são as credenciais (login/password) e a “server API URL”.
Assim as possibilidades de configuração são extremamente [...]

Upgrading Wordpress on IIS 5 is very easy: all the user has to do, is to unpack the contents of the latest official Wordpress distribution file to the folder/directory where Wordpress is already installed, choosing to OVERWRITE all files in the way.
Despite the fear that a total overwrite might cause, it is a safe operation, [...]

I found that the “group posting” (Blog -> Group Posting) feature in BlogJet has one problem: if the post includes images and you are posting from your localhost PC to both a localhost blog and to a public Internet blog, then the public Internet blog might NOT display the pictures, because their URLs – their [...]

I’ve been playing with WebCeo and I am very much impressed with its flexibility and power. Even the free version will give the user a solid understanding of search engine optimization techniques, plus related tools.
Now, all you need is time to use all the tools, for a more search engine effective website

I found good and concise answers, about what Windows Vista will bring, here.
