re: Crazy Mouse Activity
I’ve had that problem too, my thumb brushing the touchpad. Another possible solution for home/office use plug in a full sized USB keyboard. You have happier hands and no touchpad in the way.
Another possiblity is that she has the mouse “X-Windows” feature turned on: window becomes active when the mouse is over it. Can be a little disconcerting even when you know it is turned on. In Vista, check Control panel/ Ease of Access Center / Make the mouse easier to use / Make it easier to switch between windows. Try turning that feature off if it is on.
I would love to know how to get file n print sharing with the two router conection setup.
This can actually be done with a lot less steps. You can simply click on your Address Book Icon in Outlook 2007, then select File | New Entry or right-click in any area of the address list field and click New Entry.
Select from the drop-down list the address book in which you want to store your distribution list.
In the Select The Entry Type list, select New Distribution List and click OK.
The Distribution List dialog box will appear.
In the Name box, specify a name for the list, which is what will appear in your Address Book.
Click Select Members to open the dialog box to select members.
Add your members as needed or manually add them.
Set your other options, such as assigning categories.
Click OK and Save And Close in the Distribution List dialog box.
The Distribution List will appear in your Address Book with a group icon and a boldface name to differentiate it from and individual address which is shown with a vcard icon.
I happen to be covering this very same topic in my next newsletter on versions 2003 and 2007.
