  • How to use the sim card that comes with my thinkpad tablet 3G version?

    I got my tablet from newegg and my Tablet comes with a sim card AT & T, how to use this map? I have to go to the AT & T sign a contract and activate store? I'm in the United States
    Thank you!

    At & t will put you on a laptop data plan which is more expensive than a plan of "ipad." If you can, find an IMEI of an Ipad and use the sim card number and the IMEI number of the Ipad for you sign up for a plan of cost reduction. Call them to implement. Using an online form or walk into a store At & t will be very frustrating.

    PS: it is there no contract that your device is not supported by anyone - you own. It will be a month of service. If you don't sign up, free of charge.

  • How can I delete the themes that comes with the Win7? They are ugly and I do not take my place. The theme of characters for example.

    It's pretty simple, at least for me; I want to delete the themes that came with my new computer. The theme of character for example, I'll never use it, I think it's ugly and I'd like to remove it from my system. I downloaded other packs of themes of Microsoft, I removed the themes saved myself without problem. Help?

    These themes take up a space infintesimal amount.  When new computers are shipped with 500 GB to 2 TB hard drives today, it's a waste of time and a risk of causing problems to fuss with these things.  20 years ago, we had to worry about these things, but that time is long gone.  Do you realize that 1 TB is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes?  If you had 1 billion dolloars and divided into piles of dollar, pious million how do you you?  You would have 1 million piles each with 1 million dollars in it.  So why worry a few megabytes?

    Hello ryanw15,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community. The question you posted seems to be hardware related. Unfortunately, we are unable to help with changes to the hardware. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance.

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

    1. Click to open the display settings.
    2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then click on apply.

    Note

    • When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on the computer.

    The resolution of your screen can be set to greater than 800 x 600. To change the screen resolution:

    1. Click on the Start button and select settings, then Control Panel.
    2. Open Display
    3. Click the tab settings (Ctrl + Tab with keyboard).
    4. Adjust the area of 800 x 600 or higher screen, and then click OK

    Note: If it is not possible to adjust the area of the screen, your monitor does not support this or you may need to change your drivers (see below).

    This should solve your problem.

    Let us know if these steps solve your problem.  I hope the information is useful.
