Running the Add New Hardware Wizard feature in Windows 7

If you're like me, you have once plugged in an old electronics device via USB cable to your Windows 7 PC only to find that the hardware was not detected, unidentified/unknown, or simply not fully functioning as intended. You then try to run the CD that came with the product, but Windows indicates that software and drivers are not able to be installed by this method.
Simply put: you just cannot get the darn thing to work and you need to install the software and drivers that came with the CD.

Here's how you get to doing that (in Windows 7):

1. Click on the Start icon at the bottom left of your screen (it is the Microsoft logo with a blue background circle). 
2.  In the Search box at the very bottom of the menu, type in 'run' and hit 'Enter' on your keyboard.
3. Next to where it says 'Open', type in 'hdwwiz' and select 'OK'

That is it! From there, you should know what to do. If this step does not resolve the issue, you may want to change the 'Hardware IDs' on the .inf file of the software that you may have already installed for the product. For more information on what 'Hardware IDs' are and what I'm talking about, please see my other blogpost entitled: "Quick Hit - Audio issue problem with HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop fix". That post explains the process I used to edit software for the audio drivers on my laptop.

Grammer help!

So it's not my usual software and computer-related technical support, but I recently found a piece online that was very informative and concise. I wanted to share it with some colleagues/friends but it contained explicits that some may find unfavorable/distasteful.
If you are not sensitive to explicit wording, you will, in fact, find it quite amusing.

However, as I pointed out, one downside to the piece are the explicits. Another is that they missed out on a few other words which are often misused. 
I want to expand upon their such list with a very similar list but one for use of all-purposes.

1. THEY'RE = THEY FRIGGIN' ARE!
2. THEIR = SHOWS FRIGGIN' POSSESSION
3. THERE = SPECIFIES A FRIGGIN' LOCATION
4. YOU'RE = YOU FRIGGIN' ARE
5. YOUR = SHOWS FRIGGIN' POSSESSION
6. WHO'S = WHO FRIGGIN' IS
7. WHOSE = SHOWS FRIGGIN' POSSESSION
8. IT'S = IT FRIGGIN' IS
9. ITS = SHOWS FRIGGIN' POSSESSION
10. WE'RE = WE FRIGGIN' ARE
11. WERE = PAST FRIGGIN' TENSE OF 'ARE'
12. WHERE = SPECIFIES A FRIGGIN' LOCATION
13. LOOSE = NOT FRIGGIN' FIXED IN PLACE
14. LOSE = CEASE TO FRIGGIN' KEEP
15. AFFECT = A FRIGGIN' ACTION
16. EFFECT = A FRIGGIN' RESULT
17. GOOD = FRIGGIN' GOOD (NOUN)
18. WELL = FRIGGIN' (VERB) WELL
19. THAN = A FRIGGIN' COMPARISION
20. THEN = NOT FOR FRIGGIN' COMPARISIONS
21. TOO = MEANS FRIGGIN'  ALSO OR FRIGGIN' EXCESSIVE
22. TWO = A FRIGGIN' NUMBER
23. TO = FRIGGIN' TO (NOUN OR VERB)
24. LAY = FRIGGIN' LAY SOMETHING
25. LIE = FRIGGIN' LIE DOWN/ON/IN

I hope you found this to be very informative and entertaining! 
Please comment if you have any suggestions to word better/add something.
Let me know!
