windows-7-gadgets

Gadgets in Windows 7 and Windows Vista can do more than just show the weather and news. Many of the available gadgets are useful as system utilities that keep track of Windows 7 or Windows Vista resources. Several gadgets have been created that can track CPU, memory, hard drive and network usage. Gadgets, which were introduced in Vista are mini applications built using XML, DHTML, and JavaScript. In Vista, though, those gadgets were more constrained to the sidebar. Although you could move them outside the sidebar to other parts of the screen, the bar itself would never really go away. In Windows 7, that has changed. The sidebar is no more and the gadgets can sit anywhere on your screen in either a minimized or maximized state. Below are the best resources on Windows 7 gadgets and Windows Vista gadgets that can be used to help keep track of system resources.

windows-7-codecs In case you have been wondering how Windows 7 can play many of your media files out-of-the-box, it is because Windows 7 now natively supports the most popular formats including H.264, Xvid, and DivX. But still, there are many other multimedia formats that Windows cannot play without the proper codec installed. To solve this problem, you can download a codec pack. A codec pack basically contains different codecs required to play certain media files so you don’t have to download them one-by-one. This codec pack will automatically uninstall the old codecs installed and will install the new one. It is not necessary that you should have a codec pack like this one. If you usually do not come across media files that your system cannot play then you may ignore this but if you are a user who plays a plethora of media file types and do not want to download a media player for playing specific file types or to download additional codecs in future, this codec pack is best for you.

Megavideo is undoubtedly one of the most popular video sharing websites on the web currently. You find that most of the episodes of popular TV shows, documentaries and movies are uploaded on Megavideo.

Over the last few years, several devices, from the BlackBerry Storm to the Palm Pre, have hit the market hoping to be an iPhone killer, but none of them have so far succeeded. And now, Motorola Droid is hoping to pose a serious challenge to iPhone's supremacy in the ever-growing smartphone market.

The World Series has been the annual championship series of the highest level of professional baseball in the United States and Canada since 1903, concluding the postseason of Major League Baseball. Since the Series takes place in October, sportswriters many years ago dubbed the event the Fall Classic, a usage reflected in the official symbols of the 2009 World Series; it is also sometimes known as the October Classic or simply The Series. The World Series is played between the League Championship Series winning clubs from MLB's two circuits, the American and National Leagues, which collectively consist of 30 teams based in the United States and one in Canada (Toronto) with players drawn primarily from the United States, Latin America (including the Caribbean), Canada, Japan, and Korea. The New York Yankees of the American League have played in 40 of the 105 Series through 2009 and have won 26 World Series championships through 2008, the most of any Major League franchise and exactly one quarter of all World Series titles won to date.

Last week we had seen how to install and use XP Mode in Windows 7. I had mentioned that one must check if the CPU has hardware virtualization support enabled or not. I had posted links to Intel and AMD's sites to do that. Luckily, Microsoft has come out with the Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool to give the user exact information if Hardware-Assisted Virtualization is supported by the computer and if it is enabled in the Bios. hardware-assisted-virtualization This tool is compatible with all editions of Windows 7 as well as Windows Vista SP1 or SP2 and Windows XP SP3. The Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool is a portable software program that will display the relevant information upon startup. It will either display that the cpu supports HAV and that it is enabled, that the cpu supports HAV but that it is not enabled in the Bios, that the cpu does not support HAV or that the operating system version is not compatible with the program. Information are provided for the second case. Download Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection...
