  • Microsoft Office 2013 is compatible with "Works for Windows.

    My new pc is Windows 8.1 Desktop, HP Pavilion 500 series.  My aging XP pc has work for installed Windows I used since 2000 and who has all my files and a very useful database. This has been used for the execution of a small family business and all files are very important. How to install these old files and database on my new Windows 8.1?

    I recently installed on this new pc HP Office 2013 Home & Business that I find very complicated compared to Works for Windows, which I understand is no longer available (such a shame because it was a brilliant program!).

    In addition, anyone know if there is a dedicated database within 2013 Office Home & Business for the names and addresses and mail merge?  I can't find!

    It seems that the XP machine has become a glorified weight and should be removed.  Disk drives fail, problematic USB and no internet access, indeed, it became useless and your knocking you head for anything.  Maybe time to change.

    There would be a way to recover your data by converting the external hard drive on a hard drive where you would be able to transfer.  See this:

    Many of these inexpensive graphics cards for Newegg.com should work with Windows 10. Just watch for those who require a 300 watt power supply system or less.

    Drivers for these cards may be on the page drivers GeForcefunds. Simply select the card in the drop-down list or use the "Auto-Detect".

    Moreover, in a resolution of the initial problem, I suggest that reconfigure you the account user. Here's how:

    In Windows 8, you can use accounts of Microsoft as a user. You just link the Microsoft e-mail account to the new standard user. Follow these steps:

    Note: Make sure that you have an internet connection to create a user with a Microsoft account.

    1. press Windows key on your keyboard to access the applications screen.

    2. tap create an account (you will be redirected to search application screen automatically).

    3. click on settings (second option with the gear icon).

    4. click on create an account on the selection to the left pane. (You may be prompted for access admin select an admin user, and then enter the administrator password).

    5. in the account management window, click Add a user account.

    6. you will be prompted to add a user, enter the Microsoft account email address in the text box then click on Next.

    7. check This is a child account? Turn on family safety for PC usage reports.

    8. click on Finish.

    After you create the child account, you can then go to the Family Safety website, log in using the parent account and then manage restrictions and control of your child options.

    Second: In case you want your child free of any restriction which actually an adult account, you will need to just make sure that he or she is not a member of the safety of your family to check on the Family Safety website. To remove a child, go to manage the list of the members of the family. Select the account you want to delete by checking the box on the right, click on remove, then confirm by clicking on remove again.

    In case you have problems after deleting the account as a child, please update the personal data of the account by connecting to https://account.live.com/summarypage.aspx.

    Note: If you are currently logged in using your account, you must open a session and re-enter your child's account.

    Thank you.

  • Phone call from a person who claims to work for Windows.

    Occasionally my old computer crashes when I read a Blog, and I have to close it manually.  When I start backup it asks if I want to send an error message.  If I do not send the message, in a few days I get a phone call from someone claiming to work for Windows and they want access to my computer.  Is it a coincedence?  It happened three times in the past months, and I know that Microsoft does not call customers.  So is there someone who works at Microsoft who does something they shouldn't?  The people who have always had Indian accents or Chinese who are difficult to understand.
