Gmail Increases Maximum Attachment Size to 25 MB
"With Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 25 megabytes (MB) in size. Please note that you may not be able to send larger attachments to contacts who use other email services with smaller attachment limits. If your attachment bounces, you should invite them to Gmail," suggests Google.
For some reason, Gmail’s Flash uploader doesn’t allow me to upload files that are larger than 10 MB. The error message is "attachment failed" and Google’s suggestions aren’t very helpful. Switching to the basic uploader in the settings solves the problem, but it’s more tedious to upload multiple files.
Remove Drivers of Non-Present Devices
Often I was having problems with old drivers, which were still present somewhere in the system but not in use for a long time. I was trying to figure out how to remove those drivers and usually I ended up doing it manually with help from my good friend google (now www.bing.com). This used to be long and unrewarding process – not anymore.
Solution I’ve found is also available to you at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539.
What you have to do is to add new Environment Variable (it can be User or System) devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices with value 1.
Than you can go and open Device Manager. In the View menu select “Show hidden devices”. If you look around your Device Manager you will see some translucent devices – this devices are not present in your system at the moment. By right clicking on any of them and selecting Uninstall you can remove unused drivers for that device.
