Microsoft Anti Piracy

If you have a pirated Windows update CD. Your choices are limited. Not only will windows verify if you have a legal copy but it will prevent you in some cases from downloading some of there software's. They insist that all software patches will be available to pirated version but don't believe that, it's just another excuse for them to setup a patch to eventually force you to buy a legal license.
My suggestion to you is try to buy a legal second hand copy from a trusted friend. You can also save the license key from a computer you recently upgraded to and install the license on the pirated PC.
Vista is not far off and remember, when a new operating system just comes out. Microsoft prices drop and it's a great time to buy.

This is a common cause in emails and if your using outlook or Outlook Express, this is what you need to do.

In Outlook Express -> Select options from tools menu -> click the tab that said Send -> Html Settings -> Put a check in the box labeled Send pictures with messages -> Click Ok

Now when you send someone an email they will get the pictures as well. They must also do the same so that you will be able to see the pictures.

Get rid of your Windows Boot Screen

This is a simple Windows hack that you might have to do over every time you do a windows update. But if you can't stand seeing that Windows logon screen here you go.

Go to start -> run -> type MSCONFIG -> in the system configuration utility go to Boot.ini and check on /NOGUIBOOT and restart computer. Now your windows login will not appear save you 2 seconds of boot up time.

Make sure you do not touch anything else. The Boot.ini if done incorrectly will cause problems. So get rid of your Windows boot screen and get on with your life.

Why pay for something annually when your old standard office software can still do the work that Microsoft now is telling you to pay annually.
Hurry up and grab any old Office software's that you can before it's too late and you have no choice but to buy the new Office 2007.

But at this time I am going to wait and see if Verizon approves this. If it goes well. Don't be surprised EV-DO will be the easier connection of tomorrow.
