Inspector_666 posted:Box can be used rather easily just from the website, there's a plugin that will integrate directly with Office so you can edit documents and stuff on the fly without needing to download/upload like you would with Dropbox, so the lack of a good syncing app isn't the end of the world there. Thanks for the info - much appreciated.

Hah, well, eventually these contracts make their way into the outside world and a whole bunch of people look them over and modify them and most of them are completely useless with Word other than knowing how to enable Track Changes, so I'd rather keep it as simple as possible. It's a good suggestion, though, I'll keep it in mind for projects where I have full control, thanks.

Why don't you just use stylized headings for the sections, then use a regular numbered list for the 1 and 1.1 parts? You can choose to have Word continue the list, so your second heading could say SECOND and continue the list with 2, 2.1 and so on. Am I missing something?

Is there some kind of way to reverse stereo in Windows 7? My friggin sound driver doesn't seem to have the option. Is there a program that can do it? I've tried Power Mixer and it didn't do anything at all. For some reason my new headphones are wired backwards or something.

As far as I know there isn't a general software solution to this for Windows, there might be for individual applications but you're just hoping there. The SuperUser (a StackExchange site) thread on the subject has a hardware solution as its top answer.

It would be easy enough for a few buck to create a physical adapter that will switch stereo. Just need a pin and jack from radioshack, and a bit of wire. The contacts are easy and well documented. Could probably even electrical tape the contacts if you're not into soldering.

You can choose to have Word continue the list, so your second heading could say SECOND and continue the list with 2, 2.1 and so on. I need the first heading to update automatically as well. Contracts can get pretty long and manually updating each heading would become impossible and also error-prone. I'd also have to manually set the starting number of the "list" section to match the heading, each time. I appreciate that it's a solution, but the idea is to automate it as much as possible to save time in the future. At this point I think I'm just going to switch the language to something like: Clause I I.1 I.1.1. Clause II II.1 II.1.1. Thanks for the suggestions, though!

Has anyone else run into the issue of the Windows 7 update KB2926765 breaking the loving *.exe file association? Ran into it on a client's machine and assumed it must have been malware or something that did it. Rolled back to a restore point everything was fine, ran AV scans, as soon as I applied Windows updates it broke again. Narrowed it down to that particular update and it seems other people have run into it: http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-updates-activation/331643-kb2926765-bad-may-update-windows-7-leaves-system-unusable.html I'm assuming it doesn't affect most Win7 systems or everyone would be crying bloody murder, but does anyone have a clue what the common denominator on systems it does hit is?

I'm a bit fuzzy on this but my understanding is that programs decide how the audio is played, not Windows. Since programs can choose to do this in all sorts of ways, there's no generalized interface for interfering with it.

It seems like Windows just passes through audio from programs, and that's why it's so hard to point it places without separate devices for each output, etc.

Hooking WASAPI is the 'wrong' approach. Starting from Windows Vista and up, the audio pipeline allows you to insert Audio Processing Objects (APO/sAPO) into the pipeline both at a per-process level and at a system-wide post-mix level. You just need an APO that swaps the channels. One of the code examples in the WinDDK does exactly that, in fact. Problem is that unless you get yourself a driver signing certificate from Microsoft, you have to disable the protected audio graph (PUMA) to install an unsigned APO; which means anything that requires the protected audio graph, such as Netflix, will stop working.

And this would be because of some DRM nonsense I'm sure. For audio, where it would take 1 minute and 1 dollar to plug a cable from the output to some recording device, demonstrating to all the executives how it could never possibly be effective. Hellyes.

So I need a copy of Windows 8.1 or 7 OEM as I am installing on a new PC from no prior OS. I see a student version is available. MY wife has a working student e-mail. What is required to redeem the student version?

Plug student e-mail into redemption thingy. Maybe have her submit evidence of enrollment (some institutions cooperate more with Microsoft than others). Once recognized as a student: Insert credit card info, incur charge, receive product key. Note that these days it might require a Microsoft account. Not great for storing anything you care about keeping secure (unless you or your local software already encrypted it) thanks to recent revelations, but no one is, and having alternative omnibus accounts is useful. They'll also probably have downloads available through some service or other. For Windows 8.1 probably just the Upgrade Assistant. 7 is fine if you already have it but I wouldn't buy it new (but watch Microsoft do ten years of outreach again like with XP). dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 03:32 on May 24, 2014 |

I asked this in the 8.1 thread and someone recommended LapLink PCmover , but I wanted to see if there were other alternatives: Is there an application for Windows 8.1 that operates like Titanium Backup for Android? I basically want to do a completely clean install and then restore certain applications (and their data/preferences) one by one as I need them.

I know there was a thread around here before, but is there anything that's feature-similar to LogMeIn? TeamViewer is...clunky. The windows hang around after you disconnect/etc. LogMeIn just kind of worked, but their licensed version is expensive (and TeamViewer even more so). Any good alternatives? I'd be happy to pay if needed, just looking for something more reasonable for personal use.

Typical Join.Me session:: "Do I click Start Meeting or Join Meeting?" Join. "Do you want to run or save join.me.exe?" Run. "Nothing happened." Did you hit run? "No I saved it."

What's the easiest way to set up an FTP site on a machine? I have a Windows 7 box where I store all my uhhh "stuff" and there are times few and far between when I need to get something off those directories (Like a perfectly legal movie downloaded to it). What's the go-to software for that nowadays? As sad as it is, I've been using Teamviewer to log in, grab the perfectly legal file and then drag it to dropbox, then downloading from there.
