She writes: "Is there a stylus that I can use instead of my finger? I have a circulation problem and I have to keep changing fingers. My tablet brings on tingling in my hand and fingers." JoAnne, you should be able to use just about any stylus you like. Styluses range from models that just work as styluses to those that are combo pen/light/styluses. I'd suggest you take advantage of some of the accessibility features of your device to alleviate stress on your fingers. Use voice controls instead of typing for searching online and composing messages. Remember that you don't need to keep your hand locked in position with your finger hovering over the screen all the time. Rest your hand when you aren't actively using it to navigate. Also, a touch screen is pretty sensitive, so you don't need to apply a whole lot of pressure to use it. Go with a light touch to make sure you aren't giving your fingers more of a workout that necessary. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version
A Sad Fact, But a True One.... Hard drives are sensitive, complex mechanical devices. No matter what, 100% of the time, they will eventually fail - causing a crash. This can be a disaster. What will you do when this happens? Sure, you can pull out your program CD's (like your Windows program) and reinstall your operating system. But what about ALL OF YOUR DATA? You know, pictures, videos, files, settings...the list goes on and on. Now consider this: there's hundreds of millions of computer users out there, and 80% of them do NOT back their files up. Why? Because until now, backing everything up was a long and complicated process. You'd have to find specific things to back up, deal with directories, file extensions, etc. IF you were able to figure it out, there's no way you'd have the time to back up every single thing. I mean...you've gotta sleep sometime, right? These problems are over for good! Did I mention it's automatic? Well guess what? IT'S ALL AUTOMATIC! The ClickFree Automatic Backup Hard Drive is here!

Seriously, this thing couldn't be any easier to use: EVERYTHING IS AUTOMATIC! All you have to do is pop it into your USB port and let it do it's thing.

Help! I Can't Open E-mail Attchments In Windows 10 Walt's having an issue opening e-mail attachments in Windows 10. He writes: "Before downloading Windows 10 I could read email attachments. Now when I try to open them it tells me I have to get Office and that is a costly addition. What has changed?" Walt, my guess is that you need to set a default program to open documents. Type "default programs" in your search box and click on the result. Choose Set your default programs. Do you know which program you used to open documents in Windows 7? Find that program on the list. If you aren't sure, I'd suggest finding WordPad on the list of Programs. WordPad, which is included free in Windows 10, is a good choice to select as your default program for opening documents. Also, if you have another Office Suite, such as the free LibreOffice, you can choose programs associated with it for opening documents. You don't say what type of attachments you are trying to open. If they include PowerPoint presentations or spreadsheets, you have a couple of options. You can download a free office suite like Open Office or LibreOffice and set their presentation and spreadsheet programs as the default program to open those types of attachments. Or you can right click to save your attachment, then go to Outlook.com. (I see you have a Hotmail address, so just use that account to log in.) There you can use the free Microsoft Online Office apps to open spreadsheet or presentation files. I hope this helps. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!

Is It Safe To Unplug My External Drive? Carolyn from Oklahoma writes: I live in tornado alley here in Oklahoma. We have a storm shelter and because of the good weather coverage we usually have time to gather up a few things to take down in the shelter. I have a My Book (the only name I could find.)backup drive & have started wondering if it would be possible to grab that, too. Would it hurt anything if I unplugged it (whether the computer gets shuts off or not) & took it with me? If so, would it be safe to just plug it back in later? As a fellow resident of the Midwest, I can sympathize. Many times, I've grabbed the lock box and a pet and headed to the basement as the sirens wailed. Except when I worked in TV news, then it was a signal to fire up the laptop and started updating the station's website from home until it passed and then head into work. Carolyn, situations like a tornado are one of the reasons you do a backup to an external drive of your computer. By all means take your... Click here to learn more about external drives.
10 Smart Photoshop Tips You don't have to master Photoshop in order to know how to edit your photos and make them look better. I selected some basic tips and techniques for you, which you can easily apply to your photos and make them more vibrant, appealing and beautiful! These smart Photoshop tips will come in handy especially if you want to edit your family photos for an album, or even if you want to save some money and edit your wedding photos yourself! You'll see, this is not as difficult as you may think. All the Photoshop tips presented here can be applied by any beginner Photoshop user. They are simple and all of them take less than 3 minutes to apply. Enjoy! 1. Blur and Overlay This technique is used to enhance the color of your image. It will make the lighter tones a bit lighter and the darker tones even darker. This works pretty much like the Contrast tool, but it adds a more subtle and soft contrast to your photos. To use this technique you have to duplicate your photo layer – press Ctrl+J. Go to the layers palette and look for the blending mode and change it to Overlay. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Adjust the blur until you get the contrast you want. You'll see how the photo looks like in the Live Preview mode. The photo now looks more vibrant and has a beautiful, soft contrast. 2. Monochrome The easiest way to do this is to duplicate your photo layer and go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate. Now go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and adjust them until you get the black and white photo you like. Another way to do this is to go to Image...
