Windows Live Movie Maker: Create, Edit, and View Movies
Windows Live Movie Maker: Create, Edit, and View Movies By Andy Rathbone from Windows 7 For Dummies To create, edit, and view digital movies in Windows 7, you must download Windows Live Movie Maker. Windows Live Movie Maker — a stripped-down version of the movie-editing program that came with XP and Vista — works best for creating short videos. Download Movie Maker from Microsoft's Live Essentials Web page. You also need Windows Live Photo Gallery to import the movies from your camcorder. To make a movie, you follow three basic steps: 1. Import. For some reason, Windows Live Movie Maker can't import your video from your video camera. You must import it through Windows Live Photo Gallery, instead. 2. Edit. This step combines your video clips, music, and pictures into a structured movie. Edit each clip down to its best moments and add transitions between the clips — the way one clip fades into the next. Toss in a soundtrack, as well. 3. Publish. When you finish editing, Movie Maker combines your batch of clips or photos into a complete movie, ready to be played back on your computer or saved to a DVD. Creating movies requires a lot of free hard drive space. A 15-minute movie can consume 2.5GB. If Movie Maker complains about space, you have two choices: Create smaller videos or upgrade your computer with a second hard drive. Step 1: Import video, pictures, and music If you've already imported footage from a digital camcorder, jump ahead to Step 4 in the steps in this section and begin there.

Tapani Havia Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Centrally Managed Basic Services for Microsoft Windows 8 Clients Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Information Technology Bachelor’s Thesis 14th May 2013 PREFACE This Bachelor’s Thesis is the outcome of my professional knowledge of the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 centrally managed basic services. I wish to thank my instructors Kari Järvi and Jonita Martelius for their invaluable help and support while writing the study. Last but not least I wish to thank my wife Mia Havia for her endless patience while writing the study. Espoo, May 14, 2013 Tapani Havia Abstract Author(s) Tapani Havia Title Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Number of Pages 153 pages + 10 appendices Date 14th May 2013 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Program Information Technology Specialization option Data Networks Instructor(s) Kari Järvi, Principal Lecturer Microsoft published the latest operating system versions; Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 last autumn. It was the correct time to create a test environment and test how basic services and their centralized remote management could be done nowadays. The purpose was to come up with as versatile an environment as possible which any person interested in the topic could do and continue to the desired direction. The initial plan was to create the test environment in one computer virtually. The environment was done with redundancy of basic services without Network Load Balancing or Failover Clustering features. Finally, the environment within the framework of the study included 11 virtual servers and three virtual workstations. For the host computer’s operating system was chosen the Windows Server 2012 Datacenter edition and the needed hypervisor software was chosen between Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware Workstation 9, the environment was done with VMware.

Part Five: Hardware & Peripherals
Part Five: 5 Hardware & Peripherals Chapter 17: Print, Fax, & Scan Chapter 18: Hardware Chapter 19: Laptops, Netbooks, & Touchscreens chapter 17 Print, Fax, & Scan echnologists got pretty excited about “the paperless office” in the 1980s, but the PC explosion had exactly the opposite effect. Thanks to the proliferation of Tinexpensive, high-quality PC printers, the world generates far more printouts than ever. Fortunately, there’s not much to printing from Windows 7. Installing a Printer All Versions A printer is a peripheral device—something outside of the PC—and as such, it won’t work without a piece of driver software explaining the new hardware to Windows. In general, getting this driver installed is a simple process. It’s described in more detail in Chapter 18; here are a few notes on the process to get you started. USB Printers If the technology gods are smiling, then installing the driver for a typical inkjet USB printer works just as described in Chapter 18: You connect the printer, turn it on, and marvel as Windows autodetects it and autoinstalls the driver, thanks to its secret cache of hundreds of printer drivers (Figure 17-1). If you have a really old printer, its drivers might not be compatible with Windows 7. Check the manufacturer’s Web site, such as www.epson.com or www.lexmark.com, or a central driver repository like www.windrivers.com, to see if there’s anything newer. Network Printers If you work in an office where people on the network share a single printer (usually a laser printer), the printer usually isn’t connected directly to your computer.
