LISTEN TO THE MUSIC
Take your downloaded music on the road
with you.
When your digital music collection has
grown to suitable proportions you'll
want to enjoy it on the road as well as
on your computer. This is easily
done by burning an audio CD.
Launch Windows Media Player and
click the Burn option.
Choose the type of disc to burn -
audio CD is a good choice - and then
click Edit Playlist and assemble
the songs to burn. Keep an eye on
the Status column to make sure
the selected songs are ready to burn and
will fit on the disc. When you're
ready, place a blank CD into the drive
and click Start Burn to burn the
disc. Voila! A little
traveling music.

MAKE A PHOTO SLIDESHOW
Organize your memories with Microsoft
Photo Story 3.
Photo Story 3 enables you to create a
slideshow of photos, complete with
zooming and panning effects, music and
narration. Download a free copy of
Photo Story 3 from
here.
Launch the program and click Import
Pictures to choose your photos.
Drag the photos on the program timeline
to place them in the desired order, then
use the editing options to crop a photo,
fix the color and add fun effects.
Proceed to the next step to add a title
for the slideshow, then add your own
narration track explaining what the
photos are about. When you're done
save your project and convert the
slideshow design to a slideshow movie
that can be emailed to friends or burned
on to a VCD or DVD.

PROTECT YOUR WORK-PLEASE!
Back up your data to save it from
computer crashes.
We meet too many people that have lost
data that was valuable to them.
Trust us when we say: YOU WILL LOSE YOUR
DATA. Back it up and have it
forever. Don't back it up and lose
it at any moment.
Make regular backups of your important
files on CD to protect them against the
eventuality of your computer crashing.
Open Windows Explorer, locate the
files that you want to back up and hold
down [Ctrl] while left-clicking
on each file to select them;
alternatively you can [Shift] and
click to select a continuous group of
files. From the task pane, choose
'Copy the Selected Items' and
then choose your writable CD drive.
Continue until you've selected all the
files, then select the CD drive in My
Computer and from the task pane,
choose 'Write these files to CD'
and burn them to a new disc. A
backup will then be made.
