for newbies on the Internet, everything that I have learned myself and find in the process of studying, I will share with readers on this page. I realize that I’m not a guru and I’m not very young 🙂 but nevertheless, I like to take steps, act, see results...... of course, I make mistakes, but believe me, it’s better to learn by making mistakes than to make mistakes without learning :) It was a mess, but, you know , the movement must be in development….
If you have any questions, ask in any of the comments.
Agreed?
As I promised to share useful tips with you, for those new to the Internet, now is just the case :)
Don't know how to open the odt file? It turns out it’s easy and simple!!!
I received the odt file and downloaded it as usual... but it just won’t open for me. What to do? I started digging on the Internet, downloaded the Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office, installed it, and rebooted, but nothing worked or opened... I suffered for 3 days :)
And now...Eureka!!! Visit the site
View files in ODT (OpenOffice) format, upload the downloaded file that you want to open in the window
Just in case, I also want to remind you that if you suddenly download books in the DJVU format but cannot read them, then I wrote in detail, and read to your health!
Your file is opening!!! Read for good health!!
And now you know how to open odt file!
divx setup how to remove
Don't know how to remove divx setup?
Eh, we love freebies, and everyone who needs to save something knows this “weakness” of ours.....
Somehow I received a video and couldn’t open it, then my laptop “offered” me to download the program, for free.....well, I “took the bait”
I downloaded and installed the program, now I won’t even say the name, I didn’t write it down. By the way, just a note….write down downloaded and installed programs, now I’m definitely convinced of this :)
A few minutes later, the pages I was viewing suddenly began to fly off. I mean, I’m sitting at my laptop, and suddenly it goes up and everything is gone.... This, by the way, is the first sign of an “infection” in the laptop...
I quickly went to the installation and removal of programs page, I looked, and there were about 5 new programs that I had no idea about. Based on the date, I quickly identified the “new thing” and immediately began deleting it... the small things were deleted, but how can I remove this divx setup infection? She’s still stuck and won’t leave….absolutely….
And she conducted another experiment. I think that if it works out, I’ll immediately write an article, maybe it will be useful, especially since I promised to share tips :)))
So here it is.
Tip 1.
Be careful with the word “free”, filter the market, information
Tip 2.
Try to return your youth and mistake through the recovery point. The article is about what measures I took after my laptop froze, but....it turns out that the restore point is a huge help...
divx setup how to remove, how to remove any program that does not want to leave your laptop, as they say Welcome, Restore Point!!!
Take pictures of your existing programs, or at least rewrite them..... This will save you from unnecessary “guests”
Good luck to you 24 hours a day! With love!
