A company that limits access to driver downloads is a company that doesn’t appreciate its customers. Today, I was trying to find a simple driver for a little USB 801.11b network card to patch a hole in my network. Couldn’t find it anywhere. I finally had to go to Uniden’s website, where I was forced to register, with mailing address being a required field. Um, no. Anyway, if you’re looking for a driver for your Uniden PCW100, it’s right here. At least until they send a C & D.

In an effort to keep all us little monkeys up-to-date, we were all just upgraded to Office 2007 here at work and the first thing I noticed was the nasty default “toothpaste” color scheme. Don’t get me wrong… blue is one of my favorite colors, but that shade was just plain offensive. And so I proceeded to search for the “Themes” option to make a quick update. Unfortunately though, Office 2007 is different enough that even if my very existence had depended on it updating the color scheme, I wouldn’t have been able to locate where to make the change. Luckily for you though, I’ve now located this elusive option and I now share this information with you (it’s much easier than I was making it).
First, open any Office 2007 application (besides Outlook) and click on the nifty new “Office Orb” in the upper left-hand corner.
Second, at the bottom of the menu that appears, click on “-application name- Options” (where -application name- equals the app you happen to have open).
Third, on the default “Popular” tab of the new options window, select your color scheme from the drop down menu on the right. Please note that this option changes the color for all Office 07 apps so you can’t set each to a separate color scheme.
There you go. That’s it! You can choose from one of the follow schemes so hopefully you can find one that works with your windows theme. I’m just glad to be rid of “Zesty Cresty Blue”.
