Scenario:

Microsoft Office 2013 is great software for Windows 8 and I am guessing that quite a few of you may be using it on your system. This productivity suite contains many technologies in-built inside it and sometimes due to them an average computer has to suffer. If your facing this issues like crashing of Office components or not running properly and freezing every now and then or if they only works in Safe Mode of Office, then technology named Hardware Graphics Acceleration may be the culprit behind this.

I found that many users having issues with working of Office 2013 on your system are often advised to disable hardware graphics acceleration. Almost in all of the cases, disabling the hardware acceleration for graphics does the trick and solves issues for many. In this article, I’ll show you how to disable hardware acceleration of graphics using the UI and of course, using my favorite Registry Editor.

In the right pane of Graphics subkey, create a new DWORD by right click on blank space and select New -> DWORD Value.

Saigon Corner: How to Archive Email Messages in Outlook 2013

How to Archive Email Messages in Outlook 2013

We’ve always been told that backing up our data is a good idea. Well, that same concept can extend to email as well. You may want to archive your email every so often, such as monthly, quarterly, or even yearly.
We’ll show you how to archive email in Outlook 2013 and make it easily available in the program. Your email is stored in a .pst file. To archive email, we will be moving the email into an archive .pst file.
NOTE: When you archive your email into another .pst file, all the email you choose to archive is moved into the archive file and is no longer available in the main .pst file.
To begin archiving your email, click the “File” tab on the ribbon.
01_clicking_file_tab
On the Account Information screen, click the “Cleanup Tool” button next to “Mailbox Cleanup.
02_clicking_cleanup_tools
Select “Archive…” from the drop-down menu.
03_selecting_archive
The Archive dialog box displays. Select “Archive this folder and all subfolders” and select a folder to archive. If you want to archive all your email, select the node with your email address at the top.
Click the “Archive items older than” drop-down list to select the latest date for items to be archived. A calendar pops up. Select a date in the current month by clicking on the date or scroll to a different month to select a date. All items older than the selected date will be archived.
If you want to archive items that are not set to archive automatically using AutoArchive, select the “Include items with “AutoArchive” checked” check box.
NOTE: AutoArchive in Outlook 2013 works the same way as in Outlook 2010.
Click the “Browse” button if you want to change the location where the archive file will be saved and the name of the archive file. Click OK when you have made your selections.

The archived .pst file is saved to the chosen location.
