If you have never heard of download do virtualbox, it is the free and open source equivalent to VMware. If you are still lost, what virtualbox software ?
basically does is let you run any operating system inside your current operating system virtually!. For example, you can run Mac-OS X inside Windows, or Run Windows inside Ubuntu Linux, just like having a Windows emulator for Ubuntu, etc. The possibilities are endless. windows virtualbox download is a blessing for those of us who are in need of running another operating system. Let’s say that your main computer is Windows based, however, you are in need of running a program that only exists in Linux, or you want to test certain programs you downloaded from the web but are afraid of catching a virus.With virtualbox windows 32 bit or 64 bit you will be able to accomplish all of that reliably and without the licensing constraints of Vmware authorization service.

Installation

What we are going to be doing in this project is basically install Ubuntu 10.10, with ubuntu aircrack and tools on a machine running virtual box windows7, however, you can do any combination you like, OS X on Windows 7, Windows XP on OS X, virtualbox for xp on Linux, the combinations are endless and the tutorial will be exactly the same for all of them.
download de virtual box,  you can find it for a variety of operating systems, including Windows, OS x virtualbox linux  Once installed, open it and click on “New” to create a new virtual machine.


Next, give it a name on the field provided, and choose the OS you are going to be installing. Since we are going to be installing Ubuntu, this is what we are going to choose. Click “next” to continue.

Next we are presented with the memory allocation setting. This basically pertains to the amount of memory you want to allocate to your new virtual machine. Slide the bar until you reach the desired amount. and click “Next” to continue.
Bear in mind that the more memory you choose for your virtual operating system, the less you will have available for your host operating system, this memory, however, will only be allocated while the virtual machine is running. If you plan to run both operating systems at the same time, while both of them are running intensive operations, then choose the amount of allocated memory wisely, otherwise choose something a little below half of your total amount of memory. Of course this all depends on the total amount of memory you have, you can’t expect tolerable performance out of a single core machine with 1GB or less of total memory. In this case it is time to upgrade.
 Next, choose “Create a new hard disk” and click on “Next” to continue. You will then be presented with the “Create New Virtual Disk Wizard“. Click “Next” here as well.
 On the first window of the virtual disk wizard, choose “Dynamically expanding storage“. Choosing this option will make the virtual hard drive grow automatically as it needs space. This will allow you to conserve space on the host machine. Click “Next” to continue.
 Next, choose the starting size for your virtual drive. Since the space will expand dynamically, just leave the default space allocated by virtualbox software,  usually 8 or 10 gigabytes. Click “Next” to continue and click “Finish” on the next window to create the virtual drive.

Once finished, you are going to see your newly created virtual machine. This virtual machine however, does not contain any operating system yet, you need to install one. To install an operating system, just load your installation CD in your host machine, click on “Start” and go through the installation just as you would on any computer.
Optional Step: If you downloaded an operating system like Ubuntu from the web and it came in ISO format, virtualbox software will run the ISO for you, it is not necessary for you to waste a CD for this installation.
 When you are done with the installation process, the virtual machine will restart and voila! you have your operating system running. If you want to adjust the screen size, do it inside the virtual operating system just as you normally would, just be careful not to make the resoltion bigger than the host’s resolution or the virtual machine’s desktop will fall outside the host’s screen limits.

Final Thoughts

If you have no experience with virtual machines, with this tutorial you can see that the process of installing and running one on your computer is probably easier than you thought. Good luck with your project and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Why is my computer slowness ? Being a computer professional I cannot remember how many times I’ve been asked this question. It is probably the #1 question in the computer world, and just as other common questions this one does not have only one answer. A wide variety of conditions can cause a computer to lose speed over time. Most of these conditions can be resolved by any user with little computer knowledge. In this article I will list most causes and solutions to this common problem, making you aware of things you probably never realized and guiding you by the hand to help you get the most out of your computer.

Causes
Don’t worry if you do not understand some of these, I will explain them thoroughly in the next section.
Common Causes:
#1 Too many programs running at start up
#2 Hard Drive is too fragmented
#3 Hard Drive is too full
#4 Registry has grown over time
#5 Spyware
Less Common Causes:
#1 Bad Sectors on Hard drive
#2 Overheating
#3 Data Corruption
#4 Computer is trying to connect to a network resource.

Solutions
Next I will give you some solutions. Follow the steps in the order presented as they are listed in order from most to least common. Start with these only if the cause is not obvious to you (like spy-ware advertisement pop-ups, etc).
Free-up Memory, Hard Drive Space and Optimize:
(Includes solutions to causes #1, #2, #3)
Computers use memory to “think” however is most of the time just memory is not enough. At this time is when the computer needs to use hard drive space as memory. If the computer has little space left on the hard drive or too many programs are loading in memory, when the computer starts up it will not have enough resources to run fast and efficient.

STEP 1: Delete unneeded personal files:
Over time we tend to store files on our computer that can take up a lot of space which we no longer need. Such as downloaded videos, installation programs, etc. While these programs do not directly affect your computer’s speed is it good to eliminate them to make more space available on the hard drive, and to prepare the hard drive for defragmentation (I will go into this later). Most of these programs are usually found in two locations, the windows desktop and the “my documents” folder. Look in these two sections and start deleting.

STEP 2: Delete unneeded Windows files by running Windows Cleaner:

1) Click on "Start"
2) Click on "Run"
3) Type "cleanmgr" and hit enter
 Everything there is self explanatory, so check all items you wish to clean. One of the selections includes the “download” directory, if you have anything there that you wish to save transfer it to another directory before continuing. Don’t worry, none of this will delete your personal files or will affect your already installed programs.





STEP 3: Uninstall unneeded programs
This step will not only help free up additional space on the hard drive but will also help free up memory. As the computer boots-up many programs load and remain in memory. They do this to optimize the way they run. This is beneficial for them but detrimental for the computer’s overall performance, especially when too many are loading up and occupying space in your limited and precious memory.
1) Click on Start
2) Click on Settings
3) Click on Control Panel
3) Click on Add/Remove programs

Start deleting any programs that you are certain you do not need, like America Online Free trials, Internet Explorer toolbars, Online Games, etc.

STEP 4: Defragment your Hard Drive
Hard Drives have an arm with a magnetic head that writes data as the disk spins. To save time the arm writes this data wherever it is located at that particular moment. This saves recording time but in the long run it makes the computer slow as the data becomes scattered throughout the disk in fragments. This causes the arm of the hard drive to travel longer distances to read a file. Defragging (or drefragmenting) gathers all pieces belonging to a particular file and puts them all together. Therefore, next time a program is executed it is done as efficiently as possible.

1) Click on "My Computer"
2) Right click on Drive C:
3) Click on "Properties"
4) Click on "Tools"
3) Click on "Defragment Now"
4) Click on "Defragment"
 
Defragmenting might take from minutes to hours, depending on the amount of data you have and how fragmented it is. While a defrag is being performed it is best not to work on the computer. Hence a good time to perform a defrag will be any time you foresee your computer being idle, like at night while you sleep.

Registry has grown over time

For those of you that do not know what the registry is, the best explanation I can give you is that the registry acts as a “windows brain”. It is one big configuration file that tells windows what to load at start up, what program to execute when needed, how to control hardware, etc.
Whenever a program is installed it adds entries to the registry. The problem is that even when these programs are uninstalled they leave some of these entries in the registry. As time passes the registry grows making the computer slower, especially when booting up. There are only two solutions for this problem, one is to clean the registry, and the other to reinstall windows.


If you do decide to clean the registry I would have to warn you that this rarely works for speeding up you computer. Registry Cleaners just do not do an effective job most of the time. However since reinstalling Windows takes so long, trying a registry cleaner would not hurt.
If you do decide to take this route try EasyCleaner which is free, do not waste your money buying another product no matter what it claims.
The best ideal solution here will be to backup your files and reinstall windows. However this is a very time consuming task that could take you days but it will guarantee that all work performed will be 100% effective as well as one very important aspect… you will know for certain that you are not wasting your time.

Spyware
Spyware is basically software that gets loaded on your computer without your permission when you are surfing on the web. This software usually studies your surfing habits and then sends you pop-up adds based on what its know about you. Another type of Spyware are those that infect your computer and then try to sell you a product to solve your problem.
Spyware infections can make your computer slow and ever render it useless depending on its severity. They load into memory every time you boot up, making their removal a very hard undertaking. Some even kill your Internet connection just so you can buy their “fix”
There are several ways you can clean a spyware infection. It all depends on its severity and on how reliable the cleaning information you find is. No software will provide a solution for all the spyware out there, specially if this ainti-spyware software is executed on the same Windows operating system affected by the spyware.
One solution that has worked for me in the past has been to run Trend Micro’s antivirus from their free web based application, however I must say this has not been reliable lately. Nowadays I am using BartPE. BartPE is basically a utility capable if creating a Windows version that can be customized and run live from a bootable CD. This guarantees that you are running a clean spyware-free Windows version from your CD on the same computer where the infection has occured. Spy-ware cleaning software companies have plug-ins for BartPE, this gives your the capability of having all Spyware removal utilities at your disposal when boot from the CD. And since you are using a new clean Windows version running on a different drive, you do not have to worry about spyware loading into memory. All spyware will be inactive in drive C: ready to be cleaned.
One drawback bartPE has it that it does require a lerning curve to create a Windows image that you can boot from the CD. Going into the use of BArt PE is beyond the scope of this article, however there are plenty of articles on the web that will help you with this.
If your computer is infected with spyware, you are not familiar with BartPE and you are really pressed for time, best this to do is to reinstall Windows. Sometimes even using BArtPE is not enough to remove spyware, and if you are pressed for time this would just make matters worse.

Solutions to less common causes
Bad Sectors on Hard Drive
Bad Sectors as their name state are physically damaged spots on the hard drive were data can no longer be stored. Hard Drives develop bad sectors over time, this can make the computer slow due to the time it takes to try and retry reading these sectors.
When hard drives start developing bad sectors it is just a matter of time until they die, hopefully you become aware of the situation before this happens, because if it does and you do not have backups of your data you will have a big problem in your hands. All it takes is one bad sector on the wrong spot and all your files might not be accessible anymore.
Unfortunately new Windows versions do a mediocre job informing users when bad sectors start developing on the Hard Drive. One way to find out if you have bad sectors is to run Scandisk. ScanDisk is a utility that scans your hard drive for bad sectors and filesystem errors. The problem with ScanDisk is that inexplicably the report that it gives at the end appears in the screen for fractions of a second, making it almost impossible for users to see whether they have bad sectors or not. A better solution is to use a free utility called MHDD.
MHDD is software you download and burn to CD. This CD is then used to boot the computer and analyze the hard drive. To analyze your hard drive for bad sector with MHDD do the following:
Boot from MHDD CD – » Enter “scan” at the promp -» hit enter -» press F4 to begin

Overheating
When a computer is running hot CPU’s tend to lower processing speed to reduce heat, this is however not a common occurrence. Possible solutions include moving the computer to a cooler environment, adding more fans (to desktop computers), etc. Adding too many fans however can be detrimental to the computer in the long run, since more air and therefore more dust is circulating inside the case. Dust gathers around electronic components and acts as an insulating material preventing heat from escaping.
If you suspect your computer is overheating open it up and remove as much dust as as possible form all components, specially from the CPU heat-sink and fan. Try not to touch electronic components with a duster or your hands, I usually use a vacuum cleaner for this; being careful not get it near jumpers, or other components that might be sucked by the air. It works really well, just be extra careful when using it.

Final Thoughts
There is no better way to speed up your computer than to reinstall windows. Unless the problem is hardware related, 99% of the time this will fix the problem, and will leave the computer running at the same speed it ran when you first took it out of the box. Reinstalling windows however can be a painful process specially when you have to backup all your data, you do not have a restoration CD and you have to search the web for drivers. However if reinstalling Windows is above your skill level try the methods listed in this article, they will sure help improving your computer speed.

I wrote an article that described how to connect from a Ubuntu computer to a Windows Computer using the “real” remote Desktop. Now I will describe how to do the inverse: How to connect from Windows to Ubuntu using Windows remote desktop (the real one as well). As I described in the previous article, Ubuntu’s Remote Desktop is nothing more than VNC, which is very slow and cumbersome compared to the real Microsoft Windows remote desktop.  It can be made to work in a Windows machine if you install VNC, however, that is not the ideal solution specially if you have to work with it often. If you are used to Windows Remote desktop speeds, VNC will just drive you crazy. Fortunately there is a solution. To connect from Ubuntu to Windows we use “rdesktop“, and to connect from Windows to Ubuntu we are going to use “xrdp” which is basically the remote desktop protocol for the xwindows environment.

Instructions
To install “xrdp” click on “Applications” and “Ubuntu Software Center“.
 On the Ubuntu Software Center window, enter “xrdp” in the search field and press the  “enter” key; once it finds it, click on the “install” button.
 When installation finishes on Ubuntu, go to your Windows computer and open the “Remote Desktop Connection“, enter the IP address of the Ubuntu computer and click the “Connect” button.
 Immediately you will see the screen of the remote computer. Enter the username and password for the remote Ubuntu computer and click “OK” to continue.
 And that is all, now you should be able to see and control your remote Ubuntu machine from your Windows computer.


Final Thoughts
Many people in the Linux world do not seem to be aware of the fact that Windows and Ubuntu can communicate using the “real” Windows remote desktop. Not only this is not apparent but, for some reason, Ubuntu decided to rename VNC as “remote desktop viewer”, implying that this is the only way to establish a remote desktop connection.

To many IT professionals it is imperative to be able to connect remotely to their work via VPN and if you connect by VPN, the next likely step is to connect using Remote Desktop. Many of us however, prefer to use Ubuntu at home and in most workplaces almost all machines are Windows based; that is where the problem comes in. One big obstacle in finding the solution is the apparent lack of a true compatible Windows Remote Desktop alternative in Ubuntu, and the scarcity of information on the web about this topic. This myth becomes even more believable when users find that Ubuntu has labeled VNC as “Remote Desktop Viewer”; a total nonsense. VNC is not compatible with Windows Remote Desktop, but “rdesktop” is and it comes already pre-installed in Ubuntu. I have also written another article that explains how to do the inverse:  Connecting from Windows to Ubuntu using remote desktop .

How to Use Rdesktop
Rdesktop is a command line application. To use it easily and effectively we have to create a custom command line and save it as an executable shortcut on Ubuntu’s desktop.
Right click on the Desktop and click on “Create Document” and “Empty File“.


Right click on your empty test file and rename it whatever you wish.

Then, open your new empty text file and paste the following line inside it:

rdesktop -g 1152x864 -r disk:home=/home/username -r clipboard:CLIPBOARD -r
 sound:off -x l -P 192.168.1.200 -u "administrator@domain.local" -p password


I have highlighted in red the parts of the line that need to be changed.

Command Line Explained by Parts
Changing the Size of the Remote Desktop Screen
To change the size you need to change the resolution; the first part of the line highlighted in red is this resolution, play with it until you get to the desired size. Some of the most common sizes are:
640X480
800X600
1024×768
1152×864
Enter IP of Remote Computer
Change the sample IP “192.168.1.200” to the IP of the remote computer or domain you wish to connect to.
Enter Username of Remote Computer and Domain Name
If you are trying to connect to a Windows Domain, you have to enter your username in that domain and make sure you specify the domain name as part of the username. Take a look at our example. If our username was “Administrator” and our domain name was “domain” then our username will be “administrator@domain.local“. Similarly, if our username was “jdoe” and our domain name was “mycompany” then our username was “jdoe@mycompany.local“. If your computer is not on a domain or it resides inside your same network,  just enter your username.
Enter Password
Just replace the last part of the command line with your password. You can leave this part out if you are concerned about having your network password on a text file that anybody can click. This however, makes it a lot easier, since you will be logged in automatically just by clicking the icon on your desktop, all in one step.
Make Shortcut Executable
To make the shortcut executable, right click on it and select “Properties“, then on the properties windows, click on the “Permissions” tab and check “Allow executing file as a program“.

And finally we will be able to connect to any Windows machine using its native Remote Desktop

By now you should all know that even the best spyware removal software protects, but seldom removes spyware once it has infected the computer. The main reason for this is that once your computer is infected, the spyware loads itself in memory every time the computer is started. In Windows no program that is actively running in memory can be erased from the hard drive; it has to be stopped first. This is where all antivirus tools fail. Another reason is that the spyware disables most antiviruses and system tools that pose a threat to it, like for example the Windows task manager.
Lately I’ve discovered a technique to remove almost all malware infections. A technique that has been working reliably for me in a surprisingly vast majority of cases and that can be followed step by step and can be replicated for almost all types of adware or spyware. A technique that will work better than any spyware removal tool you can find. This technique works for all versions of Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. The pictures that you will see in this article are from Windows XP, however, the steps are similar for all other versions of Windows.
How to remove spyware - Method Summary:
- Open Task Manager as soon as you see the desktop.
- Write down the name of the spyware showing up in task manager and kill it.
- Look for spyware on c:\documents and setting\username\local settings\application data and delete it.
- Look for spyware in registry and delete every single entry as it appears.
- Create a new username, log in with new usermane, rename previous username account folder and reboot.
- Log in with your old usernane so that new profile folder can be created.
- Transfer your files from the old account folder to the current.
 
 Step 1: Identify Spyware in memory and kill it

Turn your computer on and as soon as you login and see your Desktop hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on Task Manager, you have to do this fast otherwise the virus will take control of the computer and task manager will no longer open. Once Task Manager is open the spyware will not be able to close it. Never close Task Manager or else the spyware you will not let you open it again unless you reboot. As

soon as you see the spyware appear, (usually a fake anti virus shield on the task bar near the clock) check the Task Manager for any suspicious programs. It also helps if you sort items in the Task Manager by memory usage, this way you will see all new applications as they start popping up. How can you tell the application is suspicious? Use common sense. The application popping up in this example has the name “guxprpnshdw.exe”. As you can see, the name is just a bunch of letters that do not make sense. Now that we have identified our suspicious program, the next step is to get paper and pencil, and write the whole name of the suspicious application making sure not to miss any letters. Then, right click on the application and click “end task” to remove spyware from memory. Once you do this, hover the cursor of the mouse over the fake anti virus shield without clicking on it. If the shield disappears, we know we have killed the fake anti virus in memory. If it does not, we need to continue our search. Repeat the operation with another suspicious-looking file in Task Manager until you find the right one. Make sure to always write down the name of the file before clicking “end task”.

Step 2: Remove spyware from hard drive and registry
 Once you have the name of the file, go to “My Computer” and click on Tools -> Folder Options -> select “View hidden Files and Folders“. In Vista and Windows 7 go to Control Panel -> Folder Options and select “View hidden files and folders”. Go to “C:\Documents and Settings\” or “C:\Users” in Windows 7 or Vista and look for a folder with your username. If your computer logs in automatically or you are unsure of your username, you can find out in Windows XP by clicking Ctrl-Atl-Del and it will display who you are logged in as. In Windows 7 all you have to do is click on “start” and it will display your username on the top right corner of the menu; I am not sure about Vista. Once you have identified your username go to the following path “C:\Documents and Settings\username\local settings\application data\”, and in Vista and Windows 7

 it should be either on “C:\Users\username\” or “C:\ProgramData\”. Once there, look for a folder with a suspicious name. In this example our folder name is “xyfbofkle”. Again, notice that its name does not make any sense. Go into the folder and you should find a program with the name of our previously discovered spyware, in this case “guxprpnshdw.exe”. If you find the spyware, write down the name of the folder and delete it. Open the registry by clicking start -> run -> type “regedit” and click enter. Look for every instance of the spyware’s filename using the registry’s search utility and delete it. When you get to the end of the registry repeat the operation, this time using the spyware’s folder name. This should remove the spyware on your computer for good. However, there is one extra step we must take to lessen the possibility of future recurrence.

Step 3: Disable your old profile and create new one
 To be on the safe side and prevent malware from ever coming back, we are going to create a new user profile folder and delete your current one. To do this, create a username and make sure to give it administrator rights. Reboot your computer, (don’t just log off or switch users) and log into your newly

created account. Then, go to your “C:\Documents and Settings\” or “C:\Users\” (in Vista and Windows 7) and rename your previous username account folder. I usually rename it with a “.old” at the end. Example, if my original account folder is named “\administrator\”, I rename it to “\administrator.old\” so it is no longer recognized by Windows. Now reboot your computer again and log in with your old usermane. This will create a brand new account folder with your old usermane. Now, transfer everything you want to save from your “.old” account folder to your new one. Don’t transfer absolutely everything because you run into the risk of transferring whats left of the spyware to your new account. I usually transfer the “My Documents”, “Desktop”, “My Favorites” and nothing else. When finished you can delete the “.old” folder and the account folder you created at the beginning.

 And you are done! as easy as that. No more spyware. This will not work 100% of the time because not all spyware behave exactly same, some can’t even be terminated in the task manager; they just won’t close. However it will work in the big majority of cases. and as I said before it will work better than even the best spyware removal program available in the market today. I can say with certainty that 90% (or probably more) of the malware infections you encounter can be removed using this method.

Hasn’t this happened to all of us?. You discover you have a virus, you go to task manager and you are unable to identify it but you see a bunch of strange looking svchost processes.  SVCHOST.EXE is basically a Windows program that executes dll files. DLL files can’t run by themselves; they need a program to run them. This is where svchost comes in.  Some Windows pocesses come in DLL format rather than EXE. Some of these processes include “Windows Firewall”, “Automatic Updates”, “Plug and Play”, Windows Themes”, “Fax Service”, etc. Sometimes however, viruses use svchost to run; this way they cannot be identified on task manager and appear harmless, disguised as a Windows process.

 How to tell if SVCHOST.EXE is harmless or not.
Fortunately for all of us there is a free utility designed just for identifying all svchost processes running on your computer. it is called svchost viewer and it works in XP, Vista and Windows 7. Svchost viewer not only tells you all processes running for each particular instance of svc host but also gives you a description of what these processes are. Take a look at the picture below:

What makes an svchost process suspicious?
Simple…
1) Any svchost process not identified by svchost viewer
2) Any svchost process consuming cpu capacity: If you see a svchost process hogging your cpu, making it run at 50%, 90%, 100% capacity, this might be the sign of a trojan horse trying to send spam or doing other malicious activities.

How to kill a suspicious svchost process
Svchost viewer itself can be a pretty effective svchost.exe killer. All you have to do is:
Select the Service to be killed >> Service Control >> Stop Selected Service.
A word of caution: Ending a particular service won’t probably cause permanent damage to your computer, however, before doing this make sure that no other programs are running, like an open document you have not finished or a defragmentation currently in progress. Some of these processes are critical, and ending one can cause the computer to frezee or to restart.

How to remove an svchost-related virus
If after killing the suspicious process, your virus or spyware goes away, you know you have identified it. Now it’s time to remove it. I have written an article on how to remove practically any virus on your computer, click here to read it.

Installing fonts in Ubuntu has certainly become a trivial task. In the past, installing fonts in Ubuntu was cumbersome, requiring you to follow a number of non-intuitive steps that only a true geek could remember. I certainly used to find myself searching on Google every time I would have to install a font in Ubuntu, something definitely not acceptable for an operating system that prides itself on its ease of use. Fortunately, things have greatly improved since those days. Now, a few clicks of a button can open the door to graphic artistry heaven. In this tutorial, I will cover two easy methods you can follow to load new fonts on Ubuntu. These instructions were made in Ubuntu 11.04.

Option #1 – Downloading Fonts from the Web
If you have chosen the font you would like to download and install, do so. However, if you have not, there are many great sites on the web that offer free fonts. My favorites are Dafont and 1001free fonts.
Download the font you wish to install, uncompress the archive, right click on the TTF or OTF file and choose “Open With Font Viewer“.
 Next, on the Font Viewer window, click on “Install Font” and you are done. Your new font should now be part of the list of fonts on any program installed in Ubuntu.

Option #2 – Choosing Fonts from Ubuntu Software Center
Ubuntu has a great selection of fonts you can download and install straight from their “Software Center“. You can even install entire font packs that will give you hundreds of fonts, all with a single click.
Open “Ubuntu Software Center“.

Then, on the right hand side area, click on “Fonts“.
 Choose from any font on the list, click on them and select “Install” . You can choose among single fonts and whole font packs.
Final Thoughts

-->


While the Software Center option is certainly a faster way of loading many fonts on your computer, I tend to prefer downloading the fonts from the web myself since you can quickly scroll though a list of fonts with image samples. With Ubuntu Software Center you have to click on each font to display it; that makes it more time consuming and tedious and, in the case of font packs, you really do not know what you are getting since no display sample is provided; leading you to install hundreds of fonts you do not need.

Continuing with our “converting to PDF” series, we are now going to take a look at Office 2010. With Office 2010 it is as easy as ever to convert your Word,  Excel, or Powerpoint files to PDF format. Microsoft has finally decided to include this option by default in the Office 2010 suite. In this short tutorial we will be covering how to save Word, Excel, Powerpoint and other Office program files to PDF in a few, very simple steps. In addition to PDF format, now you can save the in XPS format as well.  If you wish to save in formats other than PDF and XPF, read the last section of this article.

Converting from Word, Excel and Powerpoint to PDF
1) To save your file to PDF, click on the “File” tab.
2) Then click on “Share” or “Save and Send” (you can also click “Save As” and then select “PDF” format as the “File Type“, however, the aforementioned options will give you more control).
3) In the middle section, click on “Create PDF/XPS Document“.
4) In the last section to the right, click on “Create a PDF/XPS Document“.


Next, the “Publish as PDF or XPS” window will appear. At the bottom of the window you will have two options: Standard (Publishing Online and Printing) and Minimum Size (Publishing Online). These options relate to the file size; choose the one that works best for you. Bear in mind that if you choose “Minimum Size” the quality of the document will suffer.
Once you are done choosing the file size, click on “Save as type:“; select PDF and click on the “Publish” button.
Note: If you wish to save in XPS format all you have to do is change the “File Type” at the end, and then publish (or save) your file.

Converting From Any Program to PDF (Optional)
It is rather convenient to have the possibility to convert your documents to PDF straight from Word or any of the programs included in the Office suite. This option, however, is limited to the Office package and only converts files to PDF or XPS format. If you want to be able to convert to PDF from any program and in additional image formats, like BMP, PNG, JPEG, SVG, etc. read my article:

Note: If you wish to save in XPS format all you have to do is change the “File Type” at the end, and then publish (or save) your file.

Converting From Any Program to PDF (Optional)
It is rather convenient to have the possibility to convert your documents to PDF straight from Word or any of the programs included in the Office suite. This option, however, is limited to the Office package and only converts files to PDF or XPS format. If you want to be able to convert to PDF from any program and in additional image formats, like BMP, PNG, JPEG, SVG, etc. read my article:

Unlike the new Office 2010 Suite, Office 2007 does not have the capability to convert and save its documents into PDF files natively. There is, however, the possibility of installing a plug-in provided by Microsoft for this purpose. For some reason, Microsoft did not include it with the 2007 Office package by default, however, it is available on the web as a free download. Sadly, Microsoft waited until the 2007 version to provide a plug-in and till the 2010 version to make it a permanent addition the their Office suite, even though third party software had been offering this capability many years before. Nonetheless, this is a much welcomed option, specially for those of us for whom saving in PDF format is imperative.
Converting from Word, Excel and Powerpoint to PDF
Download and install the PDF plug-in for Office 2007 made by Microsoft.



There is nothing in particular worth mentioning about the installation, just keep clicking next until you finish.
Once installed, open the Office document you wish to save and click on the Orb.
Click on “Save As“.
Now you have a new option for saving in PDF format. Click on “PDF“.


Navigate to the desired location where you wish to save your new PDF file and click on “Save“.
And that is all; you have converted your Office document to PDF without spending a dime.

Remember the days where the only way to convert a Word or Excel document to PDF was to purchase a $600 license of Adobe Acrobat? Things have changed a lot since then. Now, there is a variety of free programs you can choose from to convert your files. Prices of these programs vary greatly; they can be anywhere from free to quite costly. As some of us might already know, commercial products are not always the best; in fact free, open source utilities match and many times surpass commercial software capabilities. In this article we will take a look at a free, open source utility called PDFCreator.
This option actually works for all versions of Office as well as any program on your computer with print capabilities. Is is specially useful for those of us who are still using older versions of Microsoft Office (like 2003 and below), which do not have the option to save in PDF format by default. In order for you to create a PDF in these older versions of Office you are going to have to install third party software that will allow you to “print to PDF”. Don’t worry, you won’t actually have to print anything, but rather use the print option to save your file as a PDF document.
After quite a bit of research, we picked PDFCreator; a free and open source utility that does much more than just save your file in PDF format. PDFCreator lets you alter the metadata inside the resulting pdf file, allowing you to include things such as keywords, author’s name, etc. It also lets you save your files to many additional formats like PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, PSD, SVG, among others.

Instructions
Download PDFCreator and install it on your computer; there is nothing worth mentioning about the installation, just keep clicking next until you finish.
Once installed, open the document you wish to convert; click on “File” and “Print“.
Make sure the printer is set to “PDFCreator“.

 Next, depending on your program, click on the “Print” or “Ok” buttons. After a few seconds, a second window will pop up. In this window, you can enter all the metadata you wish to be included on your PDF document; this is totally optional. When finished editing the metadata, click “Save” to convert and save your document in PDF format.


Saving to Other Formats (Optional)
On the same previous window there is an “Options” button; click on it if you wish to save your document in a format other than PDF.



Then, once PDFCreator’s option window open up, on the left-hand side column, click on “Save“.
On the right-hand section under “Standard Save Format“, click on the drop down menu and select the file format you wish PDFCreator to save files by default.
Click “Save” to finish.


From now on, PDFCreator will save your files in the format you selected. If you wish to go back to PDF format, just repeat the same steps.

Final Thoughts
Converting a document using PDF creator, involves one extra step over native PDF conversion options. Office 2007 offers a free plug-in for this purpose, and Office 2010 has the option by default.  PDFCreator, however, works with every program on your computer that has print capabilities and can save in a variety of file formats; formats not available with these other simpler options.

If I join the Military, will I have to fight? This is a question that I often hear from potential military recruits when they are contemplating whether or not to join the US Armed Services. And while I cannot give you a yes or no answer up front, I will use this article to help YOU understand this idea and determine if the military is the right choice for you.When you join the US Armed Services, there is of course a chance that you will have to fight, but it's not a guarantee. Back in the day, the word 'military' or 'soldier' was synonymous with hand-to-hand combat.

There are many benefits to joining the this branch of the military. You are paid twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th based on your pay grade. It is a salary-based paying position. As you gain knowledge and perform well, you can be promoted. Your time is service is also factored into any promotions you may receive. You are paid 2.5 days of paid vacation per month for a total of 30 days per year (most companies won't offer that much time off until you've been around for 10 years or so).The US Coast Guard offers all specialties to both men and women, including combat roles. Your career path is based on aptitude, physical abilities, security clearance, motivation and determination.If you are an active member of the coast guard, you will receive complete medical and dental care at no cost, and you are covered for $400,000 in term life insurance at a minimal cost. You will also receive tax-free money for Basic Allowance for Housing, if government housing isn't available in the area you are stationed. You will also get Basic Allowance for Subsistence if government dining facilities are not available, and a uniform allowance.

Bootcamp, while quite exciting is no laughing matter. You will endure weeks of intense physical, mental, and academic training. You will be pushed to your limits and perhaps find yourself wanting to quit many times along the way. This is something that you must keep in mind, as only a true desire to succeed will help you survive. After bootcamp you will go through your specialty training school which will prepare you for your specific job within your branch of service. This can take anywhere from a few short months to over a year. While this is quite rigorous too, many find specialty training school slightly easier than bootcamp.

The Army depends on the vigor of youth, but you must be at least 18 to join the service, although a parent or guardian may sign a consent form if you want to enter at 17. Active-duty soldiers must be between 17 and 42, reservists between 17 and 40, and guard soldiers between 17 and 35.Your Citizenship's Status,The Army accepts any legal permit resident of the United States with a green card that substantiates his resident alien status for enlistment in the U.S. Army. If the recruit wants to become a citizen, he will be fast-tracked along the road to naturalization. Until that time, he might be restricted from performing some Army jobs, but he will treated as a citizen within the Army. US citizenship at the time of recruitment is not a requirement to join the Army.

Has the patriotism of our military in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other places in the world made you interested in joining up? What does it take to be "Army Strong"and "Aim High" to "Fly-Fight-Win?" Ready to be part of "A Global Force For Good," or belong to "The Few, The Proud, The Marines"? Each branch of the service has its own specific requirements for becoming part of the enlisted corps or becoming an officer.

This is where the second function of the Aviation Training Center comes in. It's their job to develop, refine, institute, and train new tactics and procedures as well as making sure you're maintaining the high flying standards that the Guard demands.When you become a Coast Guard pilot your first stop will be at the ATC and it's someplace you'll frequent throughout your aviation career in the Coast Guard.Serving the country is always an attractive option for the youth. The patriots are always amazed to join the armed forces to serve the nation and humanity by fighting against the opponents and the enemies of humanity. The armed forces are the best career option for the people with courage and enthusiasm.

There were many sentiments shared regarding our Armed Forces and those that serve our country. Regardless of your beliefs and political views, there is no doubt we need to recognize how fortunate we are to have such protection for our Rights Liberty and Freedoms.I was thinking about what I take for granted, the choices I have, the times I spend moaning about the cost of groceries or gas and it hit me. I have that right because someone's relative fought in my name. They did not know me, were strangers to me, but they went to war and as a result, I am a free person with more rights than so many others in third world countries.I never signed up for the Army, Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force, National Guard, or Marines Corp. I know my Dad served in the Army but did not see battle. I know my Grandpa Joe was in the Army but do not remember where or when. So, for me personally, I have not dealt with anyone who had war duty and how it affected them.

What all you need to be able to join the military services is courage and determination. There is a vast scope for promotion and salaries hike in the services and numerous other benefits are given by the authorities to the defense personnel. Today, the U.S. military is the second largest after the China and has its troops deployed all around the globe. More recently in early 2007, the Secretary of Defense has proposed to the President to increase the staff strength of military by 92,000 troops over a span of five years. The U.S. military budget is the highest of any country in the world. The disciplined and multifaceted work environment in the forces improves and refines the lifestyle of its personnel and their families.

You do not need perfect vision to join the service, however. As long as you have a vision problem that can be corrected with glasses or contacts or laser eye surgery, you will be able to serve in the military and perhaps even fly a plane. If you are colorblind, there are some jobs or positions you might not qualify for.The Military Needs Youth.When General MacArthur said "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away," he was not talking about military entrance requirements. There is no branch of the service which currently accepts recruits over the age of 42. If you hope to enter a competitive military academy such as West Point, the Air Force Academy, or the Naval Academy to become an officer, you must be age 17 to 22.

The military entrance requirements vary somewhat depending whether you want to be on active duty, in the reserve, or in the guard.Age Limits For The Army: Active Duty 17-42. Reserve 17-40. Guard 17-35.Age Limits For The Air Force: Active Duty 17-27. Reserve 17-34. Guard 17-40.Age Limits For The Navy: Active Duty 17-34. Reserve 18-39.Age Limits For The Marine Corp: Active Duty 17-29. Reserve 17-29,Age Limits For The Coast Guard: Active Duty 17-27. Reserve 17-39.Citizenship Requirements Vary.The military defends our country, but you do not have to be a US citizen to join. As long as you are a permanent resident alien with a green card, you can join up. If you want to become a US citizen, your naturalization process will be fast-tracked, so you can attain that goal within a year.If you are interested in joining the military, you should examine all branches to see which one is the best fit for you. A recruiter for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard can tell you the specific requirements for joining and, if accepted, enjoying a fulfilling career opportunity where what you do matters to many people beyond yourself.

In the following 11 Forgotten Laws review we'll discuss what the 11 Forgotten Laws is as well as what's inside the course before finishing the review with the pros and cons.There's no shortage of information and training available that aims to teach you the principles behind the law of attraction and how you can apply them to manifest your desires.However not many actually go into great depth and can often leave you more confused than before you initially researched the information or even invested in the course!

I had got a lot from the course by this point though and later bought a book which Bob Proctor had recommended called 'Think And Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill which much of his course was based around. I think I had read this book years earlier when I was caught up in the network marketing frenzy of 'Amway'. But Bob Proctor has taken the words in this book so seriously that he had read a particular chapter every day for around 40 years. (I think that's what he said)! Yes that's dedication! I finally got the book from Amazon for around 3 but had hesitated for ages because I though I had no money! Oh the irony! The chapter was on auto suggestion and Napoleon Hill recommends re-reading the chapter so as to fully appreciate it.

What Does The 11 Forgotten Laws by Bob Proctor Program Comprise Of? This program offers an online integrated learning course comprising 95 powerful lesson tracks on 12 CDs in MP3 format. It also includes an eBook Transcript of all 95 lessons for quick reference and revision, as well as the original Law of Attraction blueprint, "Working With The Law" eBook, by Raymond Holliwell.

Bob Proctor has also thrown in many bonuses including audio and video seminars, eBooks and guided meditations as part of the program.The Pros.The program may be listened to anywhere and anytime, as it may be downloaded and burned onto a portable CD or listened to straight from the computer. This means you can take this program anywhere and hear it on the go if you wish. Or you can also learn the lessons in the comfort of your home if that's your preference.

But as months went by and I still wasn't living the life I had dreamed and I wasn't building the successful network marketing business I had hope to, I began to have my doubts about this Law of Attraction stuff.I watched the movie over and over again and each time I got excited about the prospect of creating the life I desired, but still I wasn't getting the results I wanted.I was however able to manifest a new car for myself and my husband. That gave me new-found hope! If I could manifest a car, what else could I manifest... a life of abundance and happiness! Oh yes, I was excited again that I was going to use the Law of Attraction to have the life I desired! Or so I thought!

There is only really one drawback I can pinpoint with the 11 Forgotten Laws which is the sheer amount of content that needs to be consumed!There are over 90 separate audio training modules to get through alone and also worksheets and documents that need to be completed to finish the course as intended! The problem for many is they want to invest in a course and see instant results! However the course isn't intended to do that and no course can deliver on that promise!In essence the 11 Forgotten Laws is for serious candidates who are willing to commit both time and energy to manifesting their desires.There really is a library of information which needs to be tackled.

You'll also need to revisit certain modules and training in order to really tie it all together in order to see the results you desire.I suggest you keep reading on this 11 Forgotten Laws review if you are interested in improving your life and attract positive energies. This might be just one of the most important things you have ever done in your life.

I hope you find this overview of the 11 Forgotten Laws by Bob Proctor valuable for your decision-making. Remember, success can only be achieved if you first learn, before you lead.Are you still struggling after watching The Secret Movie? Even though I had wanted to use the law of attraction before, I was finding it very difficult to understand it and use it successfully. Like many people, I began feeling like it is all hype and that the law of attraction does not really work at all.

97 dollars may seem expensive but like I said it is a comprehensive course and unlike any other it gives great detail of each law and how to apply them... other products I have purchased that were cheaper did not give as much detail or contained information I already knew... The 11 Forgotten Laws is like no other product out there and once you apply The 11 Forgotten Laws in your life the money will come back to you two-fold. Opportunities will appear and you will attract who and what you need for success. Bob Proctor is a true follower and believer of the Law of Attraction and the 11 subsequent laws. He has had true success and many of his students have had true success as well. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself and check out The 11 Forgotten Laws now with this 5 dollar trial offer.

PROS AND CONS: Although I could not find any faults with the product, some complaints I found from others were that it can be a bit overwhelming since it is very comprehensive and gives a lot of detail. Some wished that it had a step by step guide or summary after each lesson as to what actionable steps to take..one way to overcome this is to listen and read everything over 2 to 3 times until it becomes clear, or reach out to the members forum and support desk. We all have setbacks in life and rather than give up and decide it doesn't work... reach out to someone who may have gone through something similar and will have the answer. Another complaint was that some wished it came as a physical product rather than digital... I personally like digital because I don't have to wait for it to arrive I have instant access, however; it is a rather large download and some may have slower computers or not the right amount of space.

This means you can take this program anywhere and hear it on the go if you wish. Or you can also learn the lessons in the comfort of your home if that's your preference.

But as months went by and I still wasn't living the life I had dreamed and I wasn't building the successful network marketing business I had hope to, I began to have my doubts about this Law of Attraction stuff.I watched the movie over and over again and each time I got excited about the prospect of creating the life I desired, but still I wasn't getting the results I wanted.I was however able to manifest a new car for myself and my husband. That gave me new-found hope! If I could manifest a car, what else could I manifest... a life of abundance and happiness! Oh yes, I was excited again that I was going to use the Law of Attraction to have the life I desired! Or so I thought!

There is only really one drawback I can pinpoint with the 11 Forgotten Laws which is the sheer amount of content that needs to be consumed!There are over 90 separate audio training modules to get through alone and also worksheets and documents that need to be completed to finish the course as intended! The problem for many is they want to invest in a course and see instant results! However the course isn't intended to do that and no course can deliver on that promise!In essence the 11 Forgotten Laws is for serious candidates who are willing to commit both time and energy to manifesting their desires.There really is a library of information which needs to be tackled.

You'll also need to revisit certain modules and training in order to really tie it all together in order to see the results you desire.I suggest you keep reading on this 11 Forgotten Laws review if you are interested in improving your life and attract positive energies. This might be just one of the most important things you have ever done in your life.

I hope you find this overview of the 11 Forgotten Laws by Bob Proctor valuable for your decision-making. Remember, success can only be achieved if you first learn, before you lead.Are you still struggling after watching The Secret Movie? Even though I had wanted to use the law of attraction before, I was finding it very difficult to understand it and use it successfully. Like many people, I began feeling like it is all hype and that the law of attraction does not really work at all.

97 dollars may seem expensive but like I said it is a comprehensive course and unlike any other it gives great detail of each law and how to apply them... other products I have purchased that were cheaper did not give as much detail or contained information I already knew... The 11 Forgotten Laws is like no other product out there and once you apply The 11 Forgotten Laws in your life the money will come back to you two-fold. Opportunities will appear and you will attract who and what you need for success. Bob Proctor is a true follower and believer of the Law of Attraction and the 11 subsequent laws. He has had true success and many of his students have had true success as well. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself and check out The 11 Forgotten Laws now with this 5 dollar trial offer.

PROS AND CONS: Although I could not find any faults with the product, some complaints I found from others were that it can be a bit overwhelming since it is very comprehensive and gives a lot of detail. Some wished that it had a step by step guide or summary after each lesson as to what actionable steps to take..one way to overcome this is to listen and read everything over 2 to 3 times until it becomes clear, or reach out to the members forum and support desk. We all have setbacks in life and rather than give up and decide it doesn't work... reach out to someone who may have gone through something similar and will have the answer. Another complaint was that some wished it came as a physical product rather than digital... I personally like digital because I don't have to wait for it to arrive I have instant access, however; it is a rather large download and some may have slower computers or not the right amount of space.
