Windows XP: Top 100 Simplified Tips




A follow-up to the successful Missing Manuals for Windows XP, this lively book is full of power tips and work-arounds for undocumented registry tweaks, Office program hints, as well as advice on to make Windows enjoyable, rather than irritating.


Comparison of the sensitivity of simplified RT-PCR (Crude) and traditional RT-PCR (Trizol). a PCR products amplified from samples prepared by the two methods. b Relative RSV abundance evaluated by gray value of PCR products. c Relative RSV abundance evaluated by qRT-PCR in the samples ground by toothpick. d Relative RSV abundance evaluated by qRT-PCR in the samples ground in nitrogen liquid


In order to avoid this problem, we further ground 10 SBPHs in nitrogen liquid and distributed equal amount of tissues for further processing by the two different methods; samples #9, #10, and #11 represent this preparation. The qRT-PCR results show that the relative RSV abundance in the samples using Trizol isolation contains an average RSV level seven fold over those prepared using the simplified method (Fig. 6d).

In this issue, I review the Trekker Breeze, a new GPS (global positioning system) from HumanWare. The Trekker Breeze is a simplified version of HumanWare's Trekker product. The Breeze announces intersections and points of interest as you walk, and allows you to record new landmarks and travel routes. It does not let you enter data or look up a landmark in a database. HumanWare says that the Breeze was developed because both consumers and orientation and mobility instructors wanted an easy-to-use GPS product. Find out just how easy it is to use.


After analyzing the nontraditional screen-reader and screen-magnifier technologies on the market, we selected two that provided a contrast in user requirements and that would allow us to observe and interact with a small group of users who do not have immediate access to traditional screen-access products or training. We wanted to look at the experience of using two different types of products. The first was Guide, which is intentionally designed to be a simplified program that eliminates the need for a person to learn the more complex concepts of the Windows operating system and its applications. At the other end of the spectrum, System Access to Go is free and therefore addresses the other major obstacle: the price of access technology and training.


When we reviewed the data and observations, it became apparent that some participants did not have sufficient keyboarding skills to use even a simplified or specialized interface. It is possible that for an individual to use any interface, including a simplified design, a minimum level of keyboarding skill must be achieved. The question then becomes, how much higher a level of keyboarding skills is required to use Windows without a specialized or simplified user interface? By answering this question, future research may direct the development and implementation of the most useful user interface.


All users of Windows computers can use the Accessibility Wizard to change display settings to make the screen easier to read. You can increase the font size, enhance the mouse pointer and cursor, and increase the size of the desktop and other icons and the size of the scroll bar and windows borders. The Magnifier tool can also be used. This section of the screen works as a magnifying glass and magnifies the area around the mouse pointer. The magnified portion can be moved to any part of the screen to suit your needs better. This built-in access tool most likely works best for people who are just beginning to lose their vision or who need only minor enhancements to the screen. As with Narrator, Microsoft acknowledges that these magnification enhancements provide only a minimal level of functionality and are intended for users with slight visual impairments.


System Access and System Access to Go, developed by Serotek Corporation, are different distributions of the System Access technology. Intended to provide both screen reading and screen magnification to Windows programs, these programs more closely resemble the traditional screen-access programs than do the other programs in this group. System Access places a heavy emphasis on facilitating the use of lifestyle features of the computer and related products. A subscription-based companion service, System Access Mobile, provides a simplified, consistent interface as an alternative to Windows programs for such functions as handling e-mail, browsing news, and accessing music content.


The Trekker Breeze is easy to learn and use. It performs the task of guiding you from point A to point B. It can help you find your way if you stray off your route. As advertised, the Breeze does not have advanced GPS functions. It will be interesting to learn whether this simplified product catches on with people who are blind or have low vision. If it does, other less-complicated products may be developed and come to market.


Users who download and compile new versions of GTK, for example to gain DBCSsupport in GTK 2.2.0 on RedHat 8.0, will encounter the following problems usingthe Korean translation. Some of the text font may get clipped at the top, orwindows may resize out of the viewable area. To circumvent this problem, werecommend setting a high screen resolution, for example 1280x1024, and settingthe Dialog Font and Banner Font to a gothic font. The latter can be done in the Workbench> Fonts preference page. In addition, in the Properties view, theexpand/collapse control ("+"/"-") has no effect. Theworkaround is to use the arrow keys instead: Left Arrow to collapse, Right Arrowto expand. (bugs 38604and 38598).


When configured for the simplified Chinese locale, it is not possible to dragdata between applications running on the Motif window system. This is a knownlimitation of the Open Motif library. (bug 29777)


I have a TV Tuner Card in my PC. I'm not sure its name or how to check but it came default in my computer when i bought it. I used it for a year at college to watch/record shows from cable with windows media center, so it should work? When i came home for the summer i plugged in the antenna with a coaxial cable to watch public TV (air waves) I believe we have a digital antenna, but despite my going through auto detect on media center (cant find signal) and manual setup (tried every option available to choose from, still no signal) i cant get it set up!


The OpenType format is a superset of the existing TrueType and Adobe PostScript Type 1 font formats. It enables improved cross-platform document portability, rich linguistic support, powerful typographic capabilities, and simplified font management requirements.


I ended up going with a CompuLab fit-PC2 running Windows Embedded Standard 7. For the RS-485 input, I used an isolated RS-485-to-USB interface from B&B Electronics. I ended up skipping the interface to the anemometer and vane, which simplified the problem considerably, since now I only needed to communicate with my RS-485 serial devices. 2ff7e9595c
