Get Rid Of The Bing Bar

Do you have the Bing toolbar on your web browser application? Would you like to delete it? This program is slightly stubborn in matters of deletion, and is not as helpful as the Google toolbar that I prefer to use. Here are some simple instructions to remove the Bing bar from your web browser.
  • Click on the Tools menu on the top of the browser. Click on Add-ons.
  • Locate Extensions and then click on the Bing bar in the list.
  • Click on the Uninstall button for the Bing bar so that it gets uninstalled from your web browser.
  • Select the Uninstall button so that you confirm your actions. The Bing bar should no longer be a disturbance.
This is the simplest way to remove Bing toolbar from the system. However, when did all this, I noticed there were still a few remnants of the toolbar in the system. So I needed a way to make sure that all the associated programs and additions were also cleared from the system. The best place to do this is the registry where you can delete or disable the registry keys related the Bing bar. Just click on Start, select Run and type Regedit. This will open the system registry editor program. However extreme caution must be taken when using the system registry. Any unwanted or accidental deletions or changes could spell disaster for your computer. I had it easy as I know my way around the registry. If you guys do not have a clue, then make sure that someone experienced sits along.

If you want to remove Bing toolbar in a less messy, and safer, way, then the best option is to download a powerful program uninstaller tool. Such a third party software not only helps get rid of Bing toolbar, but also detects any fragments on the Bing bar in your system, and deletes it right away. In addition these tools work just as efficiently in deleting other programs.

Download the Perfect Uninstaller, as it highly recommended by computer experts, and is employed by many organizations to clean their systems. You could really help keep your systems in good shape by downloading this program. Not only does it have a powerful detection tool, it also makes sure no remnants of the unwanted program remain in the system. Keeping the system clean and devoid of useless CPU consuming programs will boost your system’s performance.

Xbox One To Get Ten Years Of Support From Microsoft

Game consoles are the craze for teenagers and adults alike. Since everyone enjoys gaming and entertainment, buying a game console would be a great idea. Xbox One is the game console developed by Microsoft Corporation and it is the successor to Xbox 360, which is the game console used by millions of gamers around the world.

Microsoft is known to offer support for its product line for a few years and the same is granted for Xbox One. Microsoft had recently announced that they will be extending support for their favorite console Xbox 360 till 2016. When Xbox One was launched on November 22, Phil Harrison who is the Vice President of Microsoft said in his keynote address that it is a ten year journey. There are several varieties of features included in the new console and hence there are more than 300000 servers of Microsoft that are obviously looking forward to provide assistance for multiplayer features, networking services as well as for cloud processing.

Many users have been contacting the Microsoft help line to know more about the various features and updates of the console. Xbox One is a bit costly console and it cost about $500. However, the buyers of Xbox One consider the same to be a lifetime console. Hopefully it will last for the period with the support period of at least 10 years as intended by Microsoft. During this period, the users could contact the Microsoft help line and get the necessary assistance for different problems associated with the console.

Recently a hardware problem of ‘red ring death’ was encountered by several systems and Microsoft had to work to fix the same. Some hardware malfunctioned and they had to replace the damaged ones with a new set of console. Though this was a flaw right from the start, Microsoft which always intends to rectify their product flaws had been releasing many updates regarding their console and users would be able to get them at the appropriate times.

The support for a product that is extended for ten years is not a small thing and this will definitely be a relief for those who have purchased Xbox One. At least they could continue gaming for ten years or more as they wish without any worries.

Hope more people would contact Microsoft help line and buy the new game console Xbox One.

The rumor is that the Games for Windows Live program has been excised from two games- Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Batman’s tool belt has always features the best and advanced gears on the planet. It has always struck us that the World’s Greatest Detective would use Games for Windows Live program as the PC platform. Warner Bros has now announced that Batman has given up on the soon to be closed Games for the Windows Live platform in favor of the Steam’s collection of copy protection and similar features.

GFWL copy protection and the features have been removed from Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Asylum. The upgraded Steam versions now include cloud support, Steam Achievements, full controller support, Big Picture support, and Steam Trading Cards. An announcement on the Steam detailed, “If you purchased either of the games on Steam all you have to do is let Steam download the latest patch and you will be fine. If you purchased the games somewhere else you will need to enter the code in Steam.” The users of the steam report a free upgrade to the GOTY editions of each of the title upon registering their product key in Steam.

If you already have the games on Steam, you can let the patch download. If you have bought the games from elsewhere, you can simply register the CD with Steam. If you have a game in progress, you will have to hold off, as you will not be able to retrieve the GFWL infected save games. The Steamworks version of both of the games now feature achievements, Big Picture mode, cloud saving, proper controller support and trading cards. This was confirmed by contacting the Windows live support team.

When the players switch to a new copy protection system, they will be forced to restart the game, as the saves rooted in the GFWL platform are not compatible with Steam. Both these Batman games are available for 75% off to celebrate The Dark Knight’s upgrade to industry’s preferred computer platform. If you wish to know more on the Batman Arkham games and the latest updates on the games, you can contact the Windows live support team. They will be able to provide you with the latest updates on the game. You may also visit the official website of the Arkham games to for latest news and updates.
