USB (Universal Serial Bus) drives are now the thing to have! Say goodbye to CD-ROMs and those corruptive Floppy Disks, because they are in the past. Keep reading to learn how to make Windows detect a USB drive.

Steps

1. Make sure you are connected to the internet. Windows goes on the Internet through its database of drivers and will locate the correct driver for your computer.
* When you are connected to the internet, and you have an XP computer, a balloon will appear in the lower right hand corner and it will install itself.
* If you not connected to the internet, and cannot connect, then visit the manufacturer of your USB drives that does have internet access (e.g. friend's house, library).

2. Download the driver of the website, save it onto a disk, and bring the disk to your house.
3. Install the driver, and next time you plug in the drive, it should work.


Tips

* Reset your usb drivers that are not functioning correctly: Go to "device manager" by right clicking on "My Computer" from the start menu on the desktop. Then under the left side of this new screen choose "Device Manager" under "Computer Management". On the right side open up "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" right click on the one causing the problems and choose "Uninstall". Then choose "Ok" to remove the device. After, click on the white space in this same window then choose the icon at the top of the screen "Scan for hardware changes", this will scan and reload/install your corrupted drivers. At times you can remove all of the USB storage drivers with this method so that all drivers reset by the method above. (Do this at your own risk). Tip from eProvided USB Thumb Drive Recovery Company

How to Learn Computer Applications

A guide to learning computer applications.

Entering a new computer application can be stressful because it seems new or so different from what you are used to working with. That is not really so; with rare exception (and that is mostly specialized applications) all commercial applications have the same “look and feel”

Steps
1. Look at and read the entire open window. Do not get tunnel vision on one portion of the window.
2. Review the entire menu bar or menu bars.
* Click on File, noting that it relates to actions for handling files. Actions such as Open, Close, Save, and so on. Edit, Insert, Format are all items related to those actions.
* Tools is a catch-all menu for actions that don’t comfortably fit elsewhere.
* Windows is for handling windows tiling, switching between, and creating new windows and so on.
3. Click the right mouse button while the arrow is touching any menu bar and in most Microsoft and other applications a pop-up menu appears so you can open other menu bars or close others.
* Help is the online documentation for the application and is the best source of information about the application and how to use it.
4. Look up and find Shortcut Keys, these are key combinations that make your work go faster and more efficient. Examples:
* Hold the CTRL down and press A, that selects all
* Hold the CTRL down and press S, that saves the document
* Hold the CTRL down and press Z, that is UNDO
5. Select text or a picture. Then the keys X,C, and V are important. In order they are Cut, Copy and Paste. Anytime you have repetition on a page these keys are life savers and it is when the mouse and the keyboard are used together; the mouse is used to select and CTRL + C to copy then the mouse is clicked on a new area and CTRL + V to paste.

How to Save Money on Computer Software by Using Free Software

1. If you bought a computer without an operating system rather than buying a copy of Windows XP or Vista, which can cost around $200, try an alternative operating system, like Linux or BSD. Ubuntu, Mandriva and Puppy are free and user friendly Linuxes.
2. If you bought a computer that has Windows installed but does not have Microsoft Office, try using OpenOffice.org. It can do everything Microsoft Office does, including opening and saving Microsoft Office file types.
3. Try an Open Source Software Distribution for Microsoft Windows such as OpenDisc, WinOSSCDRom, GnuWin, WinLibre, OSSCD, Kiaora or PortableApps for a USB stick.
4. Look around. Almost every software has a free alternative. Granted, some of them are more difficult to learn how to use than others, but sometimes it's good to learn something new, especially if doing so can save money.

How to Act Like a Businessman

So, you want to look important? Successful? Busy? Then you want to be like the businessmen you see see all around you. The one walking to the boardroom. The one sitting in the first class lounge at the airport. Or the one getting into the BMW.
You have come to the right place! Not everyone has the same keen business sense
Donald Trump has been blessed with, but we can all look like we do!


Steps

1. Buy a suit. It doesn't have to break the bank, just one that's smart, and preferably a dark one. Also, the tie should be silk or of a similar material that makes you look wealthy.
2. Obtain a mobile phone or PDA. Again, it doesn't have to be expensive, but make it chic. Get one in black or silver, not pink. And when you are around people, make sure you are on it a lot.
3. Buy an analogue watch. Business men are never late, either. If you are meeting someone, then be on time, not too early, not too late. Just on time. Try to get a watch that looks good and matches your suit.
4. Buy a pair of shoes that matches your suit, and care for it well.
5. Get some cuff links that aren't showy, but make people think "Oh, they are nice."
6. Buying a briefcase and filofax isn't not necessary, but it conveys importance and a busy schedule.
7. Wash and be well groomed. Rich, successful businessmen do not walk around looking like tramps. Shave and comb your hair.
8. Smile, but not as if you are hiding something. Walk in a determined manner, not fast but not slow. Walk as if you have somewhere to be.
9. If you really want to look good, get a nice car, like a Mercedes or BMW. This isn't necessary, though.
10. Speak with Confidence. Do not be over bearing, but always sound confident in your speech. If you do not know an answer do not attempt to pretend. Just state confidently, "I do not know, but I will find out for you.

How to Use Ccleaner

CCleaner(crapcleaner) is a useful tool for cleaning out accumulated internet or file waste. When reading this it is recommended that you read it through with the tips before deleting anything.

Steps

1. First open CCleaner
2. Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
3. To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
4. Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
5. Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
6. afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
7. The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
8. If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
9. The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
10. Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
11. Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

Tips

* You might want to check the Recycle bin because CCleaner auto empties it.
* Make sure you aren't deleting needed files, press analyze before clean and backup the registry.
* Check the Applications tab under Clean as Firefox users might need to uncheck some of the options to prevent deleting history.

How to Choose Business Software

Software is supposed to make it easier to run your business, but too often it is a source of frustration and expense. The proper program will help you manage cash flow, analyze sales and improve efficiency while the wrong program can throw your financial records into a tailspin that will cost you both productivity and money to recover from. It is important to have a game plan to select software that will work for your business without breaking the bank. There are hundreds of products available and they come in a myriad of configurations and technologies, so here is a simple guide to finding the right tools to get the job done.

Steps

1. Get the big picture. What are your reasons for shopping for new software? Make a list of the challenges you’d like the software to address and separate it into two categories; Needs and Wants. Your Needs list should be very brief and should consist only of the features absolutely necessary in order for the software to work for your company. Your Wants list can be much broader and features should be listed in order of importance, encompassing all of the capabilities that will make life easier. For instance, you may need a segmented general ledger in order to track performance for individual divisions, but it may be just a Want to close out the quarter for each division at separate times.
2. Determine your budget. Calculate how much you can afford to spend, including any new hardware needed as well as first-year implementation and support. The cost of the software is important, but it is equally crucial to know what your recurring costs will be. Will you need someone to set up new hardware? Can you use a general accounting application or will you need extensive customization? Database consulting and customization is generally $100-$200 per hour depending on the platform and the experience of the consultant so the further down your list of Wants you go, the more expensive the software implementation will be.
3. Narrow the playing field. Once you are equipped with your Needs list and a preliminary budget, you should be able to quickly eliminate many products based on a lack of features or too high of a price tag. There are many sites listing available accounting software packages and allowing you to search by features or platform. Many of these sites also include pricing information, making it much easier to quickly whittle down your list of potential vendors. Choose 4-5 packages that look like a good fit based on factors like specialization in supporting your size or type of business, longevity, depth of product line and breadth of support for the product. Focus on companies that are clearly designing products with one eye on the future. This is evident if they are building products that will easily integrate with other software packages and they are using platforms and technologies that are supported by industry leaders. Choose a platform that has a broad base of users (like Microsoft Access or Visual Basic) so you won’t have trouble finding resources to keep it running down the road.
4. Evaluate the features of the semi-finalists. Which packages offer the most features from your Wants list? Even if they are not within your budget now, you may be able to purchase add-on modules down the road. What product enhancements are planned? Are they features that will be useful to you and how quickly will they become available? Often you can negotiate a discount on additional modules prior to their official release.
5. Select your finalists. Most software companies will allow you to download demos of their software or request a demo on CD. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the interface and see how some of the key functions work. Look for good design and clearly marked functions. Is it easy to figure out how to enter an order? Can you easily switch functions and does the software allow you flexibility in creating new records or do you have to follow a strict data entry procedure? This is a true test of which products are going to be a good fit. You can rule out products that are under- or over-qualified for your business and narrow down the 2 or 3 products that you are comfortable with.
6. Get input from your internal users. The people who will use the software are often your best resource in making decisions. Ask your order entry specialist about the limitations of your current system; does invoicing take too long resulting in decreased productivity? What other features would your internal users like to have? How would they save time and increase profitability? This will quickly point to any inefficiencies in your current package and alert you to the features you should look for in potential packages. Additionally, this has the added benefit of speeding internal buy-in when you do begin implementing your new software. Employees will be much more receptive to a package that improves their workflow.
7. Make your final selection. Before doing so, make sure that you feel comfortable with the product as well as the vendor. If the salesperson is too pushy or you feel that they are not able to provide you with the information you need, don’t be afraid to ask to speak with someone else. It is important that you feel comfortable with your decision because you will be spending money and, more importantly, time in implementing your new software.
8. Select your implementation service provider. You may be able to find service providers through referrals from other business owners and friends, particularly if the package you’ve chosen is written in a widely-supported database like Microsoft Access. However, even when this is the case, it is often a good idea to request some referrals from your software vendor. In many cases this may save you money by introducing you to a consultant that is already familiar with the product you’ve selected and can reduce the time required to get you up and running. It is vital to work with someone you can communicate easily with to set expectations and budget at the beginning so that costs don’t spin out of control.
9. Do a final evaluation. Review the information you received from the vendor and the implementation service provider to ensure that the products you are purchasing dovetails with the services you have planned. This will ensure that there are no gaps once you get to the implementation stage and will give you a chance to finalize your upfront costs as well as project your ongoing costs for training, support and maintenance on a yearly basis.
10. Establish your timeline. Plan your implementation carefully to avoid your peak busy times and to allow for system redundancy to ensure that none of your data is lost during the transition period. Many businesses feel compelled to change accounting systems at the beginning of the fiscal year, but often this means implementing your new system at the end of a fiscal year when most businesses are focused on sales and business performance. Most accounting systems will allow you to begin implementation at any time without any loss of data or additional work. Don’t feel rushed to do it at the end of the year; schedule it for a less stressful time and let your implementation service provider work with you to ensure a seamless transition from your old system to your new one.

Tips

* The transition from your old system to a new system may not be as painful as you think as long as you have a strategy for tackling the job. Your finances are the lifeblood of your business, so choose wisely but don’t overspend for features that you may never need. A little planning now will save you time and money in the long run. Most importantly, the right software will pay for itself quickly by increasing your efficiency and putting the information you need at your fingertips
* Most software companies offer a trial period or a demonstration of the software prior to purchase. Dont's give this just a cursory review; fully utilize all of the areas of the software you'll be using to be certain it will perform as expected.
* Most software vendors offer support options. It may be tempting to forgo support and save a little money, but this is an absolutely essential component to getting the full value out of your software purchase. Without it, you will have frustrated and unproductive users that may not be entering information correctly. Support is the most important way to protect your investment in the software.
