Connect it to the PC and wait for the drivers to install. The drivers are installed when you see the phone, containing five folders, in windows explorer. Ensure the file format for your phone's SD card is FAT32 file system. Also, you may want to install .NET framework 4.5 or 4.0 if you're running an older system like Windows 7.

Windows 7 Trick Using the familiar Windows calculator with new functions

Using the familiar Windows calculator with new functions

The tiny program calc.exe has been an integral component of Windows for countless versions. So far, you could only switch between “Standard” and “Scientifi c” in the “View” menu. Hence no one really expected new functions when new versions were released. However under Windows 7, the computer provides additional views for “Programmer” and “Statistics”. What’s more, you can also easily add and use modules “Unit conversion”, “Date calculation” and other work sheets such as “Mortgage” and “Loan calculator”.

Computers abroad have different keyboard layouts, and visiting friends or colleagues might have trouble using your PC. This is especially a problem with laptops purchased in another country. Windows helps you find the characters you need with a small but relatively unknown tool. Click ‘Start’ and enter ‘charmap’ in the ‘Search for programs and files’ box. 

                                  The operating system presents the search result immediately in the Start menu. Double click ‘charmap.exe’ in the Programs’ area.The tool enables you to select any special character using the Windows clipboard and paste it into any application. Copy the necessary special characters by double clicking on them in the ‘Character selection area. Subsequently, accept the selected characters with ‘Copy’. Immediately, you can add the copied character selection to any document or table with [Ctrl]+[V].
