Computer Freezing: Steps to Fix It

Most "freezes" are just software lockups, often limited to just one program, although they can cause the entire system seemingly to hang. The remainder are caused by hardware. Failing power supplies can cause all sorts of trouble, for example, including freezes. Memory is also a frequent culprit. Reseating the memory module fixes memory-related problems one-third of the time on desktop systems and one-quarter of the time on laptop systems, according to studies done by Microsoft.

Instructions

1. Is the Whole System Freezing?

   • 1.Press "Alt" and "F4." This may close the program without any further problems.
   • 2.Press the "Alt" and "Tab" keys together to switch to another program. If you are unable to see any change when you press "Alt" and "Tab," then try to bring up the Task Manager by pressing the left "Control" key, the left "Shift" key and "Escape." If that key combination doesn't open the Task Manager, press "Ctrl," "Alt" and "Del," then press the down arrow on the keyboard four times to highlight "Start Task Manager." Press "Enter."

5 Free Data Recovery Programs

Discovering you lost important data is one of the worst feelings in the world. Sometimes it’s impossible to get back what you lost, but sometimes it is possible that what you lost still exists somewhere on your hard drive. If it’s there, these five free tools will help you find it.

Recycle

Although many Windows users know about the Recycle Bin, not everyone does. Even more importantly, not everyone knows how it works, so a file might be in the Recycle Bin even though you can’t find it.

When you delete a file on Windows the regular way, Windows doesn’t actually delete it—it moves it to the Recycle Bin. When your hard drive starts to fill up, you can permanentlydelete files from your Recyle Bin.

What many people don’t realize is that Windows can only use the move trick on a single drive. That means there may be more than one Recycle Bin on your computer if you use more than one drive (or you use removable USB drives). If you delete a file from the X:\ drive, you have to check the X:\RECYCLE folder to see if you can get your file back.

Robots: We Can’t Live Without Them, But Can We Really Live With Them?

Robots are things which it seems we can no longer live without; however it is questionable whether we will ever be entirely comfortable living with them?  Films like The Terminator, apart from being interminable, highlight a long-standing discomfort that appears to be deep rooted in the human psyche.  While your average ABB robot operator – those who daily swear and curse at the traditional robot arm found in every possible manufacturing setting – may well not lie awake at night worrying about the day that robots take over the world, for many of us it is a different story.  Throughout history it seems that we’ve found the concept of ‘creating’ life at the same time fascinating and terrifying.  From Frankenstein through to the concept of playing God, seeing ourselves outdone by our creations (and possibly destroyed) by them has become a common theme.

Slave Labour

Although it is a largely long forgotten fact, even the word ‘robot’ has fairly negative connotations.  It was not coined by the scientific branch of the creative world, but by a Czech writer in the 1920s.  The word was coined from the Slavic robota by Karl ?apek – although he credited his brother with actually coming up with the term.  Robot doesn’t translate as anything as cutesy as ‘handy little helper’ or ‘blooming great pile of rusting nuisance that never works’ (often used by those who work daily with robots). The word instead means forced labour.  This fact in itself might suggest one of the many reasons for our underlying discomfort with these beasts of burden in that robots are often employed to complete tasks that are too dirty, dangerous or downright boring for humans to contemplate.

Whats the difference between a virus, spyware, Malware, and adware?

Now days the average computer user must be aware of the potential threats their computer faces each time they connect to the world wide web. It is a dangerous place for a computer and the security threats are growing everyday. Now we also have to protect our online accounts as well as files on our own computers. I know Avast Internet security now covers your social networking accounts.  It is all so confusing, viruses, spyware, malware, and adware, just to name a few. Why are they all so different?

In the old days we used to call everything a virus, however now days we have more precise names to further categorize them. Below I will show you the difference between a virus, spyware, malware, and adware. It is important to protect your computer from viruses but how can you do that when you do not know what you are dealing with?

What is Malware?

Malware is a software program that has bad intentions. It can either be installed by the computer user accidentally or it can sneak into your computer through various avenues. Its not the same as a piece of software that by chance causes harm to your computer, malware is software that has been developed with the intent of causing problems with your computer.

Are Your USB Ports Too Close Together? Here’s How to Fix It!

If you’re like me, you probably make good use of USB on your PC, from connecting keyboards and printers to smartphones, USB flash memory, Bluetooth, 3G or Wi-Fi dongles, headsets, game controllers and more.

USB is a versatile and easy-to-use connection format, but there is one thing that bugs many people (including me) about it: the inability of computer manufacturers from Apple to Lenovo, Dell to HP (short version: all of them) to correctly space the positioning of pairs of USB ports so that two devices can be connected at the same time!

However, upon investigation into this state of affairs, it seems that this inability is little more than an unnecessarily inflexible adherence to a set of agreements governing the use of USB on such devices. The result of this is that users will have to put up with the narrow gap between ports on their PCs and laptops and instead spend money on alternatives.

New Hard Drive Setup In 2 Minutes

So you just bought a new hard drive and you’re ready to set it up—but you have no idea what to do. Don’t worry! We’ll get you going in no time at all.

Connecting Your New Hard Drive To Your Computer

Before you connect your new hard drive to your computer, see if the drive came with any software or drivers on CD. Most drives don’t need drivers, but the software on the CD can help walk you through some of the steps we’ll describe below. (Note: drives which offer hardware encryption may require the drivers).

After you install any required software from the CD, connect your new hard drive to your computer. Different types of drives have different types of connectors, so here are instructions for the three most common types of drives:

5 Free Must Have Hardware Diagnostic Tools

Every computer has hardware problems eventually, so it’s important to keep hardware diagnostic tools on hand. It could be because your computer will not boot due to a problem which could be either hardware of software related.

But you don’t need to spend money on expensive tools. These five free tools can help you diagnose most hardware problems.

Memory Scan

It’s almost impossible to diagnose a problem with your computer memory (RAM) without a memory scanner. Luckily, you don’t need a special hardware memory checker—you can use a tool to boot your computer into a special mode which will check your memory. There are several good tools, but I recommend the open source MemTest86, which works on Intel-style 32-bit and 64-bit PCs.

You can get MemTest86 for free from http://www.memtest86.com/.

What is The i386 Folder and Where is it Stored on My Computer?

If you are still using windows XP you can easily find the i386 folder on your computer. However if you are running Windows Vista and Windows seven this folder no longer exists.

There are two main setup files in the i386 directory.

1. The Winnt32.exe is the setup program used when you are in Windows.
2. The Winnt.exe file is for DOS.

The i386 directory is not the needed for Windows to actually runs from and is not really needed, but does contain important files. Originally it was simply a copy of the I386 directory from your installation CD. You’ll probably find “setup.exe” there, which is the Windows XP initial setup program.

Change The Storage Location Of 'my Documents', a bit safer for when your PC crashes...

I just found out about this today, and I use Windows XP for some time now, so i guess there are others out there who don't know about this yet.

 

But normally windows saves the "My Documents" folder on your C-drive. But when you right-click on it and go to properties, you can change the location where you want windows to save your Documents folder.

I have a partition set up with just windows on it, and all my things i want to keep are on different partitions/disks. So now I put My Documents on another partition than where I have windows installed. If windows screws up and you have to format your C-drive again, your documents will be spared at least...
