Unlike OpenWindows in UNIX, in MS Windows you cannot switch to a different open window simply by moving your cursor to it. Three ways to switch to a different open window are...

  1. Click on the window you want to go to, preferably in the title bar, so you do not click on something in the program you didn't intend to.
  2. Select it from the taskbar.
  3. While holding the ALT key, press the tab key until you get to the program you want, then release the ALT key.

Why does your new Windows 7 tell you that Diablo 2 has known incompatabities and refuse to play it?

Some programs are known for being not compatible with Windows 7. As result Microsoft designed a list where all such programs are stored. Whatever is on that list will not start under Windows 7. Unless you change of the .exe file. You will have to change the shortcut properties too because of that. When you change the name of file the program will start but you take all responsibility for that. In most case it will not case any harm, but there are some nasty cases.


How do you change registration on home computer Recently restored and Windows XP reinstalled but person registered their name not mine.?

It depends, First run a product key finder program ( search goggle ) and find the option : "change registered owner", enter your name and click "change", then reboot and go to the Microsoft "windows update" site, let Microsoft install the genuine checker", if your windows is registered to someone else you will get a "you have a illegal copy of windows" message, if this copy of windows is in fact YOUR copy then i would phone Microsoft choose the "anti piracy" option and tell someone at Microsoft about what has happened, if you can prove that it is you own the copy of windows then Microsoft will correct the problem.

How do you change programming?

To add/remove programs to start automatically use the "StartUp" Menu on "Start" "Programs". On XP is located on X:\Documents and Settings\XXXXX\Start\Programs. Where XXXXX is the user name or "All Users". To check/remove programs that start automatically but are not located on the "StartUp" folder you can use the "msconfig" and select the "startup" tab and uncheck the programs that you do not want to load or the "regedit" on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and delete the keys for the programs that you don't want to load. ...WARNING...be extra carefull with the "regedit" since this DB is the windows guts.
