In some situations, there may be an instance where you will need to network various Windows-based machines together to gain network/internet access. Windows XP provides an easy way to perform this by using a method called Internet Connection Sharing. If you are unsure of how to set up Internet Connection Sharing, please follow the steps in the tutorial that I have provided below.
There may be instances when you need to log into your computer from another location, such as a hotel, place of business, or on vacation.

For reasons that I can’t figure out, my Windows 7 laptop thinks that everything’s fine with the sound system, but I can’t actually hear anything when I try to play music or watch videos on YouTube. Is there some easy way to diagnose these sort of sound or audio problems on Win7?
I’m working with a group of software developers and recently had a problem where my copy of Windows 7 automatically updated to change something and the app we’re building stopped working on my computer. After we figured out what had happened they told me to disable the automatic system update feature in Windows 7. But how do I turn the autoupdate feature off, it seems like it’s built-in to Microsoft Windows now??
In some scenarios, when using your (or someone else’s) computer, there may be situations where you are not able to exit out of Windows XP without access to the Start bar. The typical and mostly used method of shutting down or exiting Windows is by going to the “Start” menu and then clicking on the “Shut Down” button; however, the case may be that the distribution of Windows XP you are using has been modified to where you cannot access the Start bar nor the Power button on your computer. In this tutorial, I have provided an alternative method that you can use to exit out of Windows and shut down your computer.

With technology being anywhere and everywhere today, and the Internet so accessible from wi-fi hotspots, cellular devices, iPods/iPads, and other electronic devices, it is very easy to “stay connected” wherever you are without having to be tethered to a computer.

As we all know and have seen, Apple has taken hold of the “portable” market by releasing iPods and just recently their iPad device, which is a paper-sized tablet that lets you read books, surf the web, and even access social networks without the use of a laptop. With this in mind, Microsoft’s Windows operating system wants to be a visible part of this market as well.
In some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Windows XP. It may have been quite some time since you have installed Windows XP, and have accidentally misplaced the original case that your CD came in, which includes the CD key that is needed during the installation process. With this in mind, I would like to bring your attention to a piece of software called Magical Jelly Bean that will allow you to automatically recover the CD key that was entered during your last Windows XP installation.
