Since it’s not easy to identify the culprits for Windows errors, it, in contrast to Windows Event Viewer, enables user to check if specified Windows elements have thrown any exceptions or not. Take Internet Explorer as an instance, what would be best way to identify the problems you face with IE. You might search for log files to see conflicting instances which prevent IE from working properly, but with Asa Log Viewer, you just need to select Internet Explorer from the list and choose Errors Only option to view all the error logs that have been reported by Windows for Internet Explorer.

Clipboard managers having stack for holding unlimited clipboard items are generally preferred over those which offer management for only limited number clipboard items. Even if you’re using a clipboard manager which allows you to hold as many items as you want, you can’t access them after a system reboot session and if there isn’t any native option to save all the clippings, you have to manually save them prior to shutting down or rebooting the system. ClipCloud prevents users from losing their clipboard items. It’s a Mac menu bar application that acts as a clipboard buffer instead of manager to temporarily store your clipboard items.
