Mozilla Firefox is all set to support the Windows Vista. So lets check out few points regarding the compatibility of Mozilla Firefox and Windows Vista.
* If the browser is installed in a non-default location, software updates may fail. You can reinstall the software to the default location, or to a non-default location as long as the install folder is named “Mozilla Firefox”. Alternatively, you can start Firefox by right-clicking on its icon and selecting “Run as administrator” from the menu. Read More»

Jason I get so annoyed when I install applications only to find that other programs are installed in the background and set to run automatically at startup, without asking my permission. Major culprits are QuickTime, Adobe Acrobat, iTunes and anything from Logitech.
If you want to stop applications running at startup with Windows Vista, there are two ways you can go about this:
Using the System Configuration Utility: Read More»

Jason One of the most wanted factors in a daily use software is the ability to be opened in a lightning speed. Download many e-book in .pdf format and read them frequently? You might feel that the loading process that Adobe Reader took to load the file is quite long. The cause is, the software takes more cpu cycles to load plugins that let us do various functions. So, if you want to speed things up you can try to use this method: Read More»

This list of free essential Windows programs will make the life of any developer or power user much easier.
- 7-Zip handles practically any zip version you could imagine. It will decompress tar, gz, rar, zip, bz2, rpm, arj, cab, cpio, 001, and deb files. It also allows for plugins to add further file type support.
- Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit PDF Reader are essentials due to the ubiquitous nature of PDF documents. Foxit is lighter, much faster, and a smaller install. It’s preferable on a system with limited resources, like a laptop. Adobe’s tools can be resource hounds.
- AntiVIR Personal Edition is completely free, lightweight, and effective. No antivirus is impervious to bad (user) behavior. However, this tool allows you to add an element of protection while not requiring you to open up Active X controls or slow your PC down with a bunch of bloatware.
- Audiograbber, because we all listen to mp3s and it makes it very easy to rip them from your CDs.

So, little Suzie had her big recital, and you brought the new camcorder and tripod, enduring “Who does this guy think he is, Spielberg?” stares from other parents (and likely your spouse). Now it’s time for your big reward: You get to show the world the gorgeous new video of your future American Idol winner. You finish up the basic video editing, adjusting color, cutting dead air, making transitions if you’re into that sort of thing. But the world isn’t waiting for you to send it DVD copies, leaving you to wonder, “How the heck do I get this to all her adoring fans?”
To get your video into shape for iPod and YouTube distribution, start in your video-editing program. I used Adobe Premiere Elements in the directions below; it’s our reigning Editors’ Choice among consumer video-editing apps. Read More»

When you want to put a document online, or distribute it via e-mail, and you need it to look exactly the way it looks on paper, then PDF is the way to go — and the standard application used to view PDF files is, of course, Adobe Reader.
Unfortunately, according to Adobe, Vista doesn’t support older versions of Reader, and the current version, Adobe Reader 8 (released in November, 2006), will be updated for Vista sometime “in the first half” of 2007. So what’s the story in the meantime?
Problem: Adobe Reader 8 doesn’t work with Vista
Well, if you’re a Vista user and you decide to install Reader 8, the first hint of any problem may come when you get an error message like “The temp folder on a drive was full . . . ” or “The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. . . .” Read More»

If you need more evidence of the Web shaking up the packaged software business, talk to Bruce Chizen. The CEO of Adobe Systems oversees a company that successfully harnessed the power of an earlier technology wave–personal computers–for tasks like digital publishing and photography.
Now Adobe is looking to add Web-delivered services to its product line, says Chizen. The company has already developed an online video editor and, Chizen said, an online version of image editor Photoshop is in the works. Also in the works is Apollo, a new client development strategy due later this year. Read More»
