Fatal Error reading PDF File - Adobe Reader

If you get a "Fatal Error" when trying to open a PDF file, this worked for me: Go into Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall or Change a program > Find Adobe Reader (mine was Adobe Reader X) > then right-click, select Change, then "Repair...", Next, Finish.

See what's on Dual Monitor when Remoting into Desktop

If you left your dual monitors on at work, and left for the day without shutting down, then you will not be able to see what's on your second monitor when you remote or SVO into your desktop. So, what you must do is restart by shutting Windows down (Windows, Shutdown). When you start backup, the other monitor will no longer have a signal and nothing will display there!

How to use Twitter's t.co service to shorten a URL

How to use Twitter's t.co service to shorten a URL

If you are tweeting from a "Tweet this" type button on a web page, you'll find the URL can be very long and takes up too many charcters. If you tweet within Twitter, t.co handles automatically shortens the URL for you. But not from external sites. Do this:

Prefix the URL to shorten with http://twitter.com/share?url= and then in the resulting page you can copy the URL from the edit box, or just Tweet from there.
