Use Hosted Application Using Out-of-Date ActiveX Controls in Internet Explorer (IE)

by admin Comment Closed
SYMPTOMS: When you access a local area network (LAN), an intranet share, or an intranet Web site by using an Internet Protocol (IP) address or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), the share or Web site may be identified as in the Internet zone instead of in the Local intranet zone. For example, this behavior may occur if you access shares or Web sites with Microsoft Internet Explorer or Windows Internet Explorer, with Microsoft Windows Explorer, with a command prompt, or with a Windows-based program when you use an address in any one of the following formats: \\Computer.childdomain.domain.com\Share http://computer.childdomain.domain.com \\157.54.100.101\share file://157.54.100.101/share http://157.54.100.101 This behavior can occur regardless of whether any or all of the following settings are configured: In Microsoft Internet Explorer or in Windows Internet Explorer, you have added the FQDN (or *.domain.com)...

Internet Explorer begins blocking out-of-date ActiveX controls

by admin Comment Closed
As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a more secure browser, starting September 9th Internet Explorer will block out-of-date ActiveX controls. Note: The original post stated that the ActiveX blocking would begin on August 12th. Please refer to the addendum for further details. ActiveX controls are small apps that let Web sites provide content, like videos and games, and let you interact with content like toolbars. Unfortunately, because many ActiveX controls aren’t automatically updated, they can become outdated as new versions are released. It’s very important that you keep your ActiveX controls up-to-date because malicious or compromised Web pages can target security flaws in outdated controls to collect information, install dangerous software, or by let someone else control your computer remotely. For example, according to the latest Microsoft Security Intelligence Report, Java exploits represented 84.6% to 98.5% of exploit kit-related detections each month in 2013. These vulnerabilities may have been fixed in recent versions, but users may...

Windows 7 Shortcuts Icons Disappear from Desktop

by admin Comment Closed
If you create desktop shortcuts to removable storage places such as NAS the icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in task schedule to clean up broken and unused links. 1)  To prevent the task from running you need to disable the task in the task schedular: start-programs-accessories-system tools-task scheduler 2)  Expand the tree in the left hand pane until you get to Task Scheduler Library-Microsoft-Windows-Diagnosis. 3)  In the right hand pane, right click the task named Scheduled and click Disable.   Original Article:  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/desktop-shortcuts-to-items-on-network-drives/94eddb27-342b-40fc-9ad4-677ff4ee8ebe...

How to Change the Start Screen Background in Windows 8

by admin Comment Closed
Find and Compare the Best Tech Products By Jose Vilches on November 13, 2012 Read user comments (12) Windows 8’s new Start screen has been hotly debated since the operating system launched in preview mode earlier this year. Acknowledged by some as a bold step into the tablet market, and criticized by many others who prefer the familiar desktop experience, the new 'Modern UI Style' home is here to stay. But beyond not offering a way to bypass this screen (not without the help of third-party utilities), surprisingly Microsoft is also limiting your options when it comes to customizing the Start screen's appearance. You can choose from a couple color schemes and 10 stock background images, but that's about it. We've seen some workarounds before but they require firing up the HEX editor to modify system files, and you are still limited to 256-color background images in a handful of specific sizes. That’s more work than...

Americans could lose the right to resell their own possessions

by admin Comment Closed
By Shawn Knight On October 11, 2012, 9:30 AM EST This fall, the Supreme Court will hear a case that could drastically affect your ability to resell everyday items like artwork, books, CDs / DVDs, electronics and even furniture. If a certain book publisher has their way, American consumers would be required to obtain permission to resell anything they own that was made overseas. It all started when Supap Kirtsaenge, a native of Thailand, moved to the US to attend Cornell University. During his time there, he discovered that the same textbooks he was buying in America sold for significantly less in his home country. The enterprising young man had friends and family buy books for him in Thailand and ship them abroad. From there, Kirtsaenge started an eBay business that brought in nearly $1.2 million, according to court documents. Wiley, the book publisher in question, admits they sell textbooks for...

Inside Intel’s Haswell CPU: Better performance, all-day battery

by admin Comment Closed
  By Loyd Case, PCWorld Sep 13, 2012 6:00 AM print PC users on the go require long battery life, but don’t want to sacrifice performance. Balancing these contradictory requirements are at the heart of Intel's new CPU architecture, code-named Haswell, which is expected to appear in shipping tablets, ultrabooks and other computers in 2013. At the 2012 Intel Developer Forum earlier this week, Intel dove deeper into what makes Haswell tick. Or maybe "tock" would be a better word, as Haswell represents the "tock" in Intel's CPU development program. Intel uses “tick-tock” to denote its CPU development strategy. A “tick” is represented by an existing CPU design that's tweaked only a bit, but enjoys all the efficiencies of a new manufacturing process. Ivy Bridge represents a tick, incrementally improving on Sandy Bridge, but moving to 22nm. New architectures like Haswell, meanwhile, are always built...

Jon Phillips @jonphillipssf Alex Cocilova @TheBrowncoat88 Loyd Case @loydcase Nov 2, 2012 3:31 AM print Windows 8 is rife with features and behaviors that conspire to perplex even the most experienced PC users. Not all of them are bad, per se, but few of them are immediately intuitive.

We've assembled a list of our favorite Windows 8 shortcuts, tricks, and workarounds. Many focus on making the most of the OS on a traditional desktop PC, so if you're interested in touch gestures, please check out our article that focuses directly on the Windows 8 touch experience.

Google’s Chrome Browser Now Contains A Disruptive New Communications Framework

by admin Comment Closed
After months of beta testing, Google today quietly released a new version of Chrome that contains WebRTC, a collection of real-time communications protocols that includes everything you need to turn the browser into a high-end communications system. If other browser vendors follow suit and adopt WebRTC, any device with a web browser will be able to make voice and video calls, as well as easily share data. Unlike the often fuzzy voice quality of today’s mobile phones, browser-based calls will be crystal clear thanks to built-in high-definition audio codecs. This could lead to a whole new generation of communications applications, as every business process that once involved someone picking up a phone and making a call is transformed into a click. It could also accelerate the move to Internet-based calling and away from the public switched telephone network, as people increasingly connect with each other by exchanging online presence information, rather than by exchanging phone numbers.
