Those are long and hard to type {} stuff. It would be nice if the CD ROM had them available for us using the printed book |

Windows 7 Professional comes with the Games feature turned off, and requires one to go to Turn Windows On or Off to active them. I don't see this mentioned on p. 294, nor on p. 254. In fact, Figure 6-19 shows the Games checkbox checked. |

The reference to "windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor is no longer valid. Clicking it brings up a page that is just some advertising hype pointing to new PCs and Windows 8.1. However, at the bottom of this page is a list of links to products, one of which is Windows 7. Clicking this link brings up page with yet another list of links, one of which is "Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7." Clicking this link brings up a page and under "More Explore" is the link to "Upgrade Advisor.." |

To view the clipboard, the sidebar says I can get AccelClip from the page for this book on this website. But there is now no URL link with AccelClip. Other programs do have links. Is there a problem with AccelClip? Do you have any recommendation? |

Printed | Page 650 first paragraph |
I have the 2010 book and still refer to it. The top line tells how to get to the Disk Management window but should be preceded by the statement that this task requires you to be logged into the administrator. The option ?Create and format hard disk partitions? does not appear in my standard user account. |

The text claims that Windows 7 uses Internet Explorer as an XPS Viewer. That is not correct. Windows 7 uses a dedicated XPS Viewer. Only Windows Vista uses Internet Explorer as XPS Viewer. |

The pages you show in Printing 5 for the Windows Live Photo Gallery is a version which is older. I have a newer layout of the menu bar on my computer (Acer 5733-6838) which is entirely different. Do you have a printed correction to clarify this? It is a little confusiing at times when I am told "Bring the Info pane back by clicking Info in the toolbar" and there is no Info there, but I can get the "Info" by clicking the "Caption" that is there! I think I have the older Printing and it has been changed. |

No mention is made that Windows XP Mode will fail to install when the computer has an AMD processor, even if there has been an upgrade from Home Premium to Professional. |

Printed | Page 877 Index column 2 |
The index page 877 lists "service packs, 16" (without the quotes). But I can't find any reference to service packs on page 16. I think the index should read "service packs, 14." |
