Though the display is little messed up and slow, you can still do some jobs and fighting though it is not recommended for hitlists.

For Vodafone users in Mumbai who do not have GPRS package, use the Bolt browser using wifi.

Connect to PC internet through wifi using N82

Here is a simple procedure for connecting your Nokia N82 (or other nokia handset with wifi) to internet using PC wifi.

I shared Tata Indicom Broadband Connection (through cable) on my PC to my Nokia N82 handset using wifi.

The procedure is simple and will just take a few minutes.

The procedure is for Vista and with appropriate modifications, it can be used with Windows XP as well.

Procedure:

1. Right click your Network icon in the system tray - Network and Sharing Center;

2. Go to your internet connection icon (in this case Tata) - View status - Properties - Sharing - select Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection and clear the Allow other users to control.... option;

3. Now go to Network and Sharing Center - Setup a connection or network - Setup a wireless adhoc (computer to computer) network ;

4. You can give your adhoc network a suitable name and select the appropriate security settings in the next steps (for trial purpose I would suggest to do without the WEP / WPA security);

5. Just turn on the wifi on your Nokia N82 handset, connect to the adhoc network and start browsing from your handset...

Evaluation copy watermark on Vista SP2

Have you updated to Vista SP2 and are getting a "Windows Vista (TM) Evaluation Copy. Build 6002" watermark on your desktop? Well that's how it is meant to be... Careful reading during installation of the SP2 will reflect:

Service Pack Information

SP2 Beta is pre-release code which will change before the final release of SP2

Windows Server 2008 SP2/Windows Vista SP2 Beta is time-limited software that will operate until May 1^st, 2010 - Un-install Windows Server 2008 SP2/Windows Vista SP2 Beta before May 1^st, 2010

After SP2 installation your desktop may display the text "Evaluation Copy". This does not mean that your system is no longer "Genuine", only that you have installed a test version of software which is time-limited

After installing the service pack, the "Evaluation Copy" text may show up on the 2^nd boot

After un-installing the services pack, the "Evaluation Copy" text may remain during the first boot, but will disappear after the next reboot

Starting any Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Vista SP2 installations will result in Microsoft collecting information about the installation process

To remove the watermark - read here.

However, I haven't still figured out a way to make the updates work... My updates have somehow got disabled and my system crashes on trying to update.. Even the defender updates don't work.. Plus there is no uninstall option in add / remove programs..

Waiting for a solution... Will update this post once I find a solution.

Remove Personal Information from Office Documents

Source - TweakVista (Steve Sinchak)

Microsoft Office and other Windows Applications store all sorts of personal information when you save a file. Your name, computer name, company, date and time last edited are all examples of data included in a simple Word document file.

If you are concerned about your privacy there is an easy way to strip this information from a file.

1. Right click on the file and select Properties
2. Click on the Details Tab
3. Click Remove Properties and Personal Information on the bottom of the window
4. Select Remove the following properties from this file option and check all the items you want to remove. I suggest using the Select All button.
5. Hit OK and you are finished. All personal information is now removed.
