Microsoft denies the fact that their new and upcoming version of the popular Windows OS is a derivative of Vista which is set to go on sale this coming year. They have not been discreet about the whole thing yet have been secretive about pricing and any final details. The beta edition is already out and is undergoing testing by many industry experts who have managed to get hold of copies through the internet. Of the facts that have surfaced, one thing is for sure, they will come in the same flavors as Vista did and it may include upgrade options for XP users. (more…)

Re-boot and use the CD as boot disk, formatting the hard drive (you can chose the type of file system as you do so, Fat32 or NTFS). Make sure you check or select make disk bootable in the format menu. After the format (a few hours if you have a large hard drive) run the fdisk utility that allows you to partition your hard drive into several small ones or you can simply select the hole drive as the primary partition from which you will be booting from.

There comes a time when you simply have tons of files and programs that are getting onto your nerves and even with uninstalls of unused ones still fails to speed up your perfectly good PC, then the only option would be to do a clean re-install of your OS and all the programs you may be using. It may be a good time to do a total PC cleaning, taking out hidden dust bunnies and others from the innards of the PC, with a healthy memory upgrade to match. You could also consider upgrading your hard drive to a larger one if you think you’d be needing it. First step, back up all files (documents, pictures, audio and others) onto CD’s or DVD’s for safety’s sake. (more…)
Hit two birds with one stone – use the Disk Cleanup utility to clean up your system trash and speed up your computer.
Disk Cleanup is probably one of the most basic tasks people fail to run regularly. System trash and loads of temporary and temporary internet files gradually build up with normal use, and consume vital disk space as well as slows the computer down.
To run Disk Cleanup, go to Start Menu > Program Files > Accessories > System tools. Then select you boot drive – C: – as the drive you want to clean up (you can also do this with other drives that you have) and then select the sections you want cleared up. The process doesn’t take too long – about 30-45 minutes at most for really big boot disks.
Ever had a problem with your PC you simply cannot fix whatever the online tech support and how-to sites recommend? Have you checked the boot-up sequence? If you have a computer that is more than a couple of years old then this may be sign of a faulty or worn out BIOS battery which helps your computer keep all the hard-ware settings you or the computer shop may have pre-set when you bought the computer.

It may seem that when you first installed your Windows XP, it booted up really fast. You tend to wonder all the horrible stories you’ve read that Windows has a very slow boot up. A few years down the road, you feel it–you begin twiddling your fingers and asking yourself as to why it takes you 3 minutes to be able to do anything on your PC. What do you do?
According to the experts the best way to go about this is to find the source:
Legitimate programs usually put an icon in the SysTray, next to the clock on the Windows Taskbar. Right-clicking an icon will often let you tell the program not to load. However, Microsoft provides msconfig, a good utility for controlling how Windows starts up. To run it, click Start, select Run, type msconfig in the box and click OK. The Startup tab on the far right lists the programs being loaded, but it’s worth looking through the other tabs. Microsoft has a trouble-shooting guide to using it: search Google for Q310560.

Most of the time, when you buy your brand new personal computer or laptop, with it comes different pre-packaged stuff that they say you will need for your computer or something like that. While it may be nice to have them all, but the sad thing is, they are just trial wares. Meaning you just have a limited amount of time to use them, after that trial period expires, they will require you to purchase the software. That is if you liked it. And there are also not so important stuff that comes with your PC. programs that you haven’t heard of, or will probably use anyway. They’re just junk. Usually these are programs that connect you to online services. If you like them, then keep em. But if not, you zap em away. JUST make sure you be careful on what you are deleting. You might include files or components that the Windows need to operate correctly.

Sometimes, there are problems in your personal computer that can be fixed without going through the hassle of opening up the CPU unit. Sometimes, some folders and files in your hard drive suddenly appears to be translated into an unidentified language of some sort. And worst of all, sometimes your folders seem to have suddenly disappeared from where you placed it. Guess what, this are signs and symptoms of an aging or worst, dying hard disk drive. The first and most important thing to do is back up the important data stored in your PC. Maybe to another hard drive, a DVD-R, zip disk or any other medium for storage. After doing the most important task, you must run your Scan Disk utility. Click on Start, click Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, then click Scan Disk and choose the Thorough option. This will check the entire drive for physical damage.
