Room Service A Tool That Takes The Guesswork Out Of Decorating One of the most difficult parts of buying new furniture is picturing what it will look like in your home. To avoid the guesswork, try Roomle, a free online room-planning tool that lets you visualize changes to your living space. Sign on to Roomle (a free account isn't required, but you can't save designs without one) to begin assembling your dream room. Once you specify the basic dimensions of your room, begin adding from a list of hundreds of household items, like windows, couches, or beds and even smaller details such as art or plants The layout editor has both 2-D and 3-D views so you have every perspective of what your new room will look like. When you're happy with your design, save it as an image and send it off to your family and friends (and your decorator).  Now you just need to convince your spouse that an L-shaped bean bag couch is a good idea…  Visit Roomle Sign up for Netted Send to a friend  Advertisement Follow us on Twitter Join our Facebook Page You're receiving this email because you signed up for the Netted newsletter at Netted.net If you do not want to receive these daily emails, click here to unsubscribe.

I must say, I was a cutie when I was a youngling. Circa 1984.

Windows XP taskbar icons disappearing?

Here's a great fix for any time where some of your icons are missing from your Windows XP system tray (AKA notification area) at startup. What you need to do is make sure that Universal Plug and Play Device Host is set to start Automatically at startup. Do this by:

1. Start > Run > services.msc
2. Right-click Universal Plug and Play Device Host, choose Properties
3. Change Startup Type to Automatic
   
   
4. Click OK
5. Log off, then log back on (no need to reboot completely)

To test this out before you log off and back on, see if the service is even running. In my case, the service was NOT running, and so I clicked the blue Start link in the upper left. Then, since my Sound icon is one of the icons that went missing, I went into the Control Panel, opened up the Sound properties, then disabled and enabled the Sound icon. What happened? The sound icon actually showed up and stayed put this time.

Did this work for you?

Buying a new car soon? Maybe this will help you find the lowest possible price:

Wheeler Dealers Find The Lowest Price Possible On Your Next New Car Ensuring that you don’t get screwed on the price when you buy a new car has always been tricky, given that car salesmen are infamously loose with facts. Here to level the playing field is TrueCar, an auto research site that provides comprehensive, up-to-date new car sale price reports based on local transactions, arming you for future negotiations. To start, select a make and enter your zip code. The site shows you all the popular models of a given brand, then lists the average sticker price and fuel economy.  Once you select a trim package and options you click “price report,” and this is where the site's calculations really start. The first thing you’ll see is a bell curve that shows you the range of prices along with a range that tells you what qualifies as a great price, a good price and an exorbitant price.   They calculate the True Cost (an estimate of what a dealer paid for the car, including all the discounts and holdbacks; this number is usually less than the factory invoice) and True Average (the average cost of a car in your zip code, your region and the country as a whole).  There’s also a historical graph that shows you fluctuations in the average price over time. But the best piece of data is the “Lowest Certified Price,” which gives you the lowest price available in your area, along with data on the dealers that sell the car at that price. Then you print the page, take it to the dealer and they sell the car—at that price.  No haggling. No fibs. Civility (and transparency) have finally reached the showroom floor.  Visit TrueCar Sign up for Netted Send to a friend  Advertisement Follow us on Twitter Join our Facebook Page You're receiving this email because you signed up for the Netted newsletter at Netted.net If you do not want to receive these daily emails, click here to unsubscribe.
