Obtaining All the Information of Computers

When we buy a computer this one is ready to be used so we don't have to worry about having the network card, mouse or touchpad ready, to mention a few examples.

However, what happens if you need or have to format your computer? Well, you can use your Windows disk to make a new installation and get the disk formatted. But you will notice that after this process some of your devices won't work correctly. When this happens it's probably because you don't have the required drivers of your devices.

What a problem! how can I fix that? Very simple, I'll introduce you a tool named HWiNFO, install it and execute it with an account with admin privileges, this application allows you to choice the type of report it's going to generate.

After that, you will be in front of a summary of your system, you can review it but for this post just click on "Close".
 
Summary of the computer

Once you close the system summary you'll see a window like this, giving you all the information of each component of you computer, here is where you have to navigate to find the characteristics of the devices that are not working (brand and model for example).

Deep into de details of the computer

With this information you can search on the internet the appropriate driver for you device, when I have to do this I prefer to go to the driver's manufacturer site for being the most reliable source. Remember that having the correct drivers will help you to harness all their functionality.

As you can image, I did this example on a Spanish version of Lotus Notes 8.5 but I will explain it clearly enough. The first step is getting yourself into the inbox, then select the "Create" menu item and inside of it, click on "Agent...". You will get a dialog box opened, in this we have the possibility of setting the rules for this agent. However, in this case we will only set "Trigger" option to "On schedule" with the "Weekly" frequency. Don't forget to push the "Schedule..." button to program the agent in the right way. After this, select "OK" and close the dialog bo...

Turn Horizontal Visio Swimlanes into Vertical Ones

Image
In one ocassion, a friend at work called me because she had a problem with Microsoft Visio , she was trying to draw a process flowchat but using swimlanes, this was not a problem until she realized that it would be better to use vertical swimlanes instead of horizontal ones.    But, when she tried to drag a vertical one it just put together to the previous swimlanes created before.  To avoid creating a new visio document and lost your work just go to 'Cross-Functional Flowchart' ribbon and select 'Orientation' and 'Vertical'.     And it's done, now you can work with vertical swimlanes or if you like it you can turn them back to horizontal ones.
