Windows, trying to soar its security, made himself boring. It is so boring that he nags you everytime you have got a system update.

Although you should restart it, there are times when you just cant. That is why somebody came up with this program, that easily disable or enable the Windows Update reminder.

If the alarm window of the update systems disturbs you that much, give it a try and download the update notification disabler by clicking here.

PS: Works on Windows XP Sp2. Vista has it in its configuration.

In this new version of Microsoft Office 2007, Bill Gates decided to add na “x” to the family extension, becoming : .docx .xlsx .pptx.

Unfortunatelly, the reason is yet unknown - probably to avoid online applications compatibility, who knows? - but the result is that older computers, that can run the new Office cant open the x documents in their Offices, such as the 2003.

If you have the Office 2003, you can just download the Compatibility Pack from Windows, but do take into consideration that your Microsoft Office must be original (bought from the stores, with working validation).

For OpenOffice users, just rename the file to .zip and try to open it. Usually works.

For those that still couldnt find a usefull solution, try downloading the free viewers from Microsoft. You can download the Word Document Viewer and the Powerpoint Document Viewer by clicking in those links.

If you couldnt find a solution even after that, try some of the online converters we will be showing up in the next weeks, which are free and fast, but require an Internet connection.
