ASK THE EXPERTby Dan Coughlin
Q: How can I accelerate my business?
A: First and foremost, clarify your purpose. Roy Spence, president of GSD&M, the national advertising agency for
BMW, AT&T, Southwest Airlines, and Wal-Mart, taught me that an
organization’s purpose is a definitive statement about the difference it
is trying to make. When you know the difference your organization is
trying to make, it simplifies everything else. Your strategies, mission,
tactics, and planned activities are either supporting your efforts in
making the difference you want to make or they are not. Stay true to
your purpose.

How can I find out basic information about my computer?Right click on the My Computer Icon and then left click
on Properties. Back to TopHow can I get detailed systems information about my computer?Sometimes, despite all efforts, it seems
impossible to find a particular piece of information about your
computer. This is especially frustrating when you're attempting to
resolve a problem, and a support technician asks you to provide a
simple piece of data. Wouldn't life be a little easier if
information about your operating system, hardware resources and
components, and software settings was all in one place? Microsoft
System Information, which is included with almost all Windows
systems, may be just what you need. To check out Microsoft System
Information: 1. Go to Start > Run 2. Type "msinfo32" into the Open field 3. Click "OK" Note: If "msinfo32" doesn't work, try "msinfo". Back to TopWhat is the "correct" way to remove a program from my computer?The best way is to go to Control Panel/Add
remove programs. Find the program you wish to remove, click on it
and follow the on screen directions. If the program is not there you
can check to see if there is an uninstall option when you go to the
Program itself or in the start menu options for that program. As a
last resort, you can move the program folder to the recycle bin but
this will not totally remove it and may cause problems. Leave it on
the computer if space allows. Back to TopHow do I change the screen resolution of my computer?Go to Control Panel > Display > Settings and
adjust the resolution there. Or Right click on an empty place on the desktop,
choose "Properties" from the menu and then Settings. Back to TopMy mouse is erratic. How can I fix it?There are a couple of things to recommend: 1. Try replacing the batteries in the mouse if
it is wireless. 2. Try removing the mouse ball and cleaning the
rollers inside the mouse with a Q-tip. Often that residue is quite
sticky. They sell kits with a "velcro" ball you clean the rollers
with by putting it in place of the regular ball. 3. If that doesn't fix the problem, buy a new
mouse. Optical mice don't have balls. 4. If that doesn't resolve it, you may need to
hire a technicians to trouble shoot the problem. Back to Top |
