Fix stuck windows and not working alt+tab keys in Vista

If you get a ghost of a window stuck above all the other windows, or if Alt+Tab doesnt work suddenly, you can try the following:

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
2. Start task manager > Processes tab
3. Find explorer.exe and end the process
4. If there are still bits stuck, end dwm.exe (desktop window manager)
5. Go to Applications tab > New Task. Type in "explorer" and press Ok

Hopefully that helps

Fix missing "package" button in indesign

Had this odd problem saving some artwork for print. Went to package and the whole chunk of the menu was missing including the preflight etc.

Apparently I ran out of disk space and the memory was all used up when I was launching indesign so the package plugin didn't load. The buttons come back when you free up some space and re-launch the program.

And here is the Google Buzz doing the same thing:

Only difference is that I have only programmed my script to fetch jpegs, and the google version is quite happy to swallow png's too.

Google is watching us :D
