Took me forever to figure this one out. Winrar 3.9.0's right click "extract here" always worked before.
I was also able to select multiple photos in Windows XP and rotate them with a right-click > rotate photo clockwise.
All that stopped one day. I didn't know why. I finally got fed up and looked for the answer.
The culprit was the CuteFTP Content Menu. It was breaking other context menu's in Windows XP. Specifically, it broke my ability rotate multiple images and it also broke the WinRAR 3.9.0 context menu. Everything started working fine once I unchecked the option in CuteFTP's General options. I found the solution using the tips here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm
If it's happening to you, download the program mentioned in the link above and start disabling all non-Microsoft Context Menu handlers one-by-one until your Right Click works again.
Good luck.

Here's the deal, both of these video submission programs essentially do the exact same thing. They bulk upload videos to various video sites in order to grab traffic. Yes, they upload bulk videos, that's it.
So what's the big difference between them? Well, there's 2 major differences. Firstly, VideoBot can spin the Titles and Descriptions in order to prevent bannings and suspicious behavior.
But the ultimate second factor comes down to price.
Videobot: $29.95 (One-Time Payment...You Own the Windows Software)
TrafficGeyser: $100 PER MONTH! (OUCH!)
It's obvious that Traffic Geyser is hosing their customer's wallets to death. 
My Winner: VideoBot. Inexpensive, well built software by the guys at Incansoft that gets the job done.
Plus, free updates for life. No brainer.

More iPhone drama. After updating my iPhone to 3.1, I started experiencing a freezing iPhone every so often. It really does freeze, by the way. No attempt to hold any button will bring it back. The iPhone becomes completey inresponsive with a silent, black screen.
The good news: there's a way to get the phone to work again.
The bad news: it won't fix the bug itself.
To get your iPhone working again, do this: hold down the power button and home button together for around 10 seconds. This will reboot the iPhone without losing any data. Do this everytime your iPhone freezes up and you'll be ok.
Good luck.

My Last iPhone Software Update Drama
Four months ago, my wife bought me an iPhone. During a Software Update, the iPhone decided to stop the installation at around 70-80% and hang. I unplugged the device after 2 hours of hanging and tried to restore my backup. It didn't work. Each restore operation also failed/hung around 70-80%. I called tech support and they told me to try deleting the Software Update and re-download. They also had me uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Nothing. Back then, my iPhone was still in it's 2 week trial period so I marched back to AT&T and got a full refund.
Today's iPhone Software Update Drama
My wife surprised me again on Christmas with another iPhone. We figured the last unit was defective and the chance of a 2nd defective unit is near zero. For the past month, I've been syncing with a Dell Inspiron 530 flawlessly.

My adorable wife signed up to JillianMichaels.com a few days ago and has started the diet program. The site is pretty good and has a wealth of information and tips. Most come directly from her in the form of blog posts which is also great. Basically, Jillian Michaels has you fill out a 3 page questionnaire that tells you what kind of "oxidizer" you are. From what I've read, Oxidizer theories are still rather undocumented. After that, she customizes a daily meal plan (she even gives you printable shopping lists) and tells you to exercise.
