Smart Computing Tips
How To Allow Email Attachments – A fairly •
common problem people run into is the
inability to save attached les to their PCs.
This may happen to you if your email client is
congured—for security reasons—to prevent
you from opening le attachments of a certain
size, content, or type. You can disable this
setting in Outlook Express by opening the
Tools menu and selecting Options. Click
the Security tab, deselect the Do Not Allow
Attachments To Be Saved Or Opened That
Could Potentially Be A Virus option, and click
OK. To avoid viruses, worms, spyware, and
other types of nasty code, be sure to scan the
saved le for malware before opening it.
Where To Go If You May Have Been •
Scammed- If you lled out a form or provided
personal or nancial information in response to
an email request and you think you may have
been the victim of a fraud, call the company
that appeared to be requesting the information
right away. Explain the situation. If fraud
is involved, the bank, credit union, or other
nancial institution that was spoofed (gained
access to a network or network services by
posing as a legitimate user) should freeze your
accounts to protect your funds. You also should
report the incident immediately to the FBI at
www.ic3.gov.
Recover A Word Document- Word gives •
you an option called Recover My Work And
Restart Microsoft Word when Word crashes
and the crash dialog box appears. Select the
checkbox to effect this process. You also
have the option of whether to send a report
about the crash to Microsoft. Click Send Error
Report or Don’t Send. Whichever option you
choose, Word then restarts and displays the
Document Recovery pane on the left side of
the Word workspace. The pane will contain
one or two versions of each document that was
open when the crash occurred. The le name
will be followed by the word [Recovered] or
[Original]. The recovered le contains changes
in the document that you hadn’t saved but
were recorded by AutoRecover. The original
le is the one that contains the changes you’d
made the last time you manually saved the
le. Check versions of the le to see if you
want to keep one or both versions. Click the
le name or click the arrow on the right side
and choose Open. Save a le by clicking
the arrow and selecting Save As. You are
presented with a dialog box that prompts you
for a le name. Change the name if you want
or leave it the same to overwrite the le. The
Document Recovery pane presents recovered
and saved les for you to choose from.
Abandon a recovered le by clicking the arrow
and selecting Close. Word then prompts you
to choose Save As or Delete. Choosing Save
As brings up a dialog box that gives you the
option to rename the le and place it where
you choose on your PC.
Connect Your PC To A Stereo
Revive Your Records, Transform Your Tapes, Or Just
Play
Over the years, you’ve amassed an eclectic music
collection to rival that of your favorite radio station.
If you’re the person your friends turn to for a rare
Beatles B-side or an import CD that’s impossible to
nd in any music store, you probably have enough
LPs and cassette tapes to ll a closet or two. But
now that we’re rmly entrenched in a digital age of
music dened in terms
of CDs and MP3 players,
those classics you have
preserved on vinyl have
been collecting dust.
Getting your music x
while you’re working
on your PC can be as
simple as buying and
downloading songs from
Apple iTunes (www.apple.
com/itunes) or ripping (the
process of extracting audio
data from an audio CD to
store on your PC) a CD to
