Buzz of the New Year! I was exaggerated; lots of wishes were coming from friends and family via my phone device. The entire day was extroverted; in the evening I got some time, and turned on my dell laptop to see updates in my Microsoft Hotmail account. I was shocked! Inbox, sent items and other folders were empty all. There was nothing. I logged off and logged in, restarted my system, application and everything what I could but to no use. In fact, I tried with other hotmail account of my family, but the same status prevailed. Later on, I came to know from others that the Microsoft Hotmail has experienced a problem and this is a mass outage.

Later on Microsoft conceded the fact and assured that Microsoft support technicians will fix the issue very soon. In fact it calmed me to a great extent. I relaxed with the sense that I am not alone and there are 360 millions with me. However, there is not exact date that when it all started. “At this point it appears to be a limited issue, and Microsoft is working with individual users who are impacted. We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers,” Microsoft spokeswoman Catherine Brooker said. Likewise issues had affected Microsoft Hotmail earlier as well. You might recall the phishing attempt on Windows Live Service in 2009, when about 10, 000 of Hotmail accounts were compromised. These all originated from Europe and were legitimate.

In spite of issues I can’t help myself from appreciating the services of the Microsoft Hotmail, which has been integrated with Windows Live Service, and is accredited as the third largest e-mail client after Yahoo and Google. Hotmail allows you to set-up and configure multiple e-mail accounts such as Yahoo, AOL, Gmail and more, thus making your communication simpler and easier. You can get updates from social networking sites, including LinkedIn, Flickr, and YouTube, and share Office and OneNote files with others through the SkyDrive feature.

Microsoft Hotmail support is also catered by different independent support providers. They can help you to troubleshoot all issues with your account in a quick and easy manner. You can seek help to safeguard your account against any unauthorized access. This gives you the confidence to share different formats of digital information in a perfectly secure manner.

First of all, I do not really hate my office 2007. Truthfully, I still love it. I can’t forget the innovative experience which I had. I still care for it, but still a jealous streak, like a hot blue flame of anger flares whenever I watch someone with new Office Home 2010 on his machine. It burns me, and I think you can understand my dilemma. Isn’t it!

Eventually, I can’t hold myself from the new legendary Office Home 2010 owing to its classic user interface. Integrated Windows Live Writer, E-mail Essentials and Video in Microsoft PowerPoint along with unmatched Photo editing tools, Spelling checker, and Digital signatures are some of the compassionate features, which are enough to woo everyone. Really! It’s a masterpiece from Microsoft.

I am a big risk taker and can’t let things slip this way. I called up my bro and asked him to do something to install and Activate Office Home 2010 on my computer. He suggested me on “How to Activate Office Home 2010.” I did the same which helped me to accomplish the task in the best possible way. I’m mentioning the steps, which you may find helpful.

Insert the Office Home Edition installation disk into your CD/ROM drive.

Navigate to “My Computer” or simply “Computer” for Vista and Windows 7 users. Right click on the CD/DVD-RM drive icon. Select “Autoplay.”

Enter the 25 character Microsoft Office product key in the “Product Key” box. This number is located on the back of your installation CD case. Hit “Continue.”

Hit the button “I accept” after you have finished reading the “Microsoft Software License Terms.” Hit “Continue.”

Hit the “Customize” button and select “Installation options.” Select all the programs that you wish to install by putting a check mark beside the respective programs. If youhave enough hard drive space, it may be a good idea to install all the programs since you paid for all of them. Hit “Install Now.”

Follow “On-screen” prompts to complete the installation.

Ultimately the Office Home 2010 was activated and I took a sigh of relief.

Windows XP black-screen error is as old as the operating system itself. If you have a computer then you would have experienced this error some or the other time, and might you have fixed the problem on your own or with the help of some tech support provider. Particularly, black screen error may come up due to many reasons such as due to power failure, damaged video card or failed video driver, corrupted MBR (Master boot record) and damaged NTDLR files.
