NEED A NEW COMPUTER, NOW WHAT?  by

 John Cuneo 		2/9/2008 at 11:35
You have decided to buy a new computer, but you are saying to yourself where do I start, where do I look, and what do I want?

Now you must decide on a budget that you can afford. As stated in the "When to buy a new computer?", do not get into debt over a new PC or Laptop. You want to pay cash when possible or make sure you can pay the debt off with in 6 months or less. When you have decided on a budget that fits your financial situation, you can move onto other decisions like PC vs. Laptop, Bells and Whistles vs. the Basics, and a new printer/monitor vs. no printer/monitor.

PC vs. Laptop

Laptops are generally more expensive than a PC with similar hardware and software. With laptops running from $700 to $2000+, and a PC running from $300 to $1500. Obviously if want to spend more, there are specialty and novelty computers out that will allow to spend far more than these prices. Remember with a PC, you will need to purchase a monitor unless you already have one that will work for your needs.

Bells and Whistles vs. Basics

To get the top of the line PC or laptop, will you be looking at the higher prices. With this in mind, you must decide if a terabyte hard drive, 4+ gigabyte of memory, TV tuner, 19 in 1 disk reader, etc. are necessary for your needs. You might be able to get by on the basic configuration ...

TELL ME WHY MY COMPUTER FREEZES  by

 Joe Keller 		2/9/2008 at 11:35
Ok we have all been there and done this am I correct?

Things are moving along and then bam you’re stuck and about punch a hole in your monitor. This is most likely cause by getting to click happy if you don’t have the memory or ram to do so mucho clicking. What do I mean?

I mean that when you click to start a program and it doesn’t respond as quickly as you like , you click it again, which is going to slow it down more, als while doing this your demanding a certain amount of ram to do this and if its not there, your computer will freeze or crash.

Also if you have just opened a program that is slowing you down or not responding, you can type Ctrl+Alt+Delete and end that program. This is nice because it could keep you from having to restart.

Another reason for freezing or crashing is having 2 Antivirus programs at the same time, and this is a guaranteed no no, most will warn you first, but if they make it on you computer together, you will notice that you computer is barley functional, you wont even be able to click the start button and have your computer respond in some cases.

Your goal here is to uninstall one of them and restart, then you will have your computer back. Don’t get me wrong other software programs can conflict also and do same thing, in this case you goal is the same, ...

PORTABLE SOLAR POWER GENERATOR - CHARGE YOUR MOBILE DEVICES FOR FREE  by

 Adrian Whittle 		2/9/2008 at 11:33
I know, it’s pretty annoying when your ipod battery is flat only a few hours into a long journey. No music, no audio books, gee you’ll have to think of something else to do. Or maybe it’s your cell phone that is low on charge and you need to talk to someone. You hear those dreaded beeps and then the phone goes dead. You’ll have to find a phone box somewhere - one that works that is. I guess I’m as guilty as the next person when I want my entertainment or business ready at the touch of a button. That’s probably why I have more gadgets and hand held devices than I care to think about. However they all need power and quite often I forget to charge them fully leaving me stranded. The solution to this problem is to use a portable solar power generator.

There are quite a few portable solar power generators around at the moment. They all have the same basic set up. A number of solar panels will absorb photons from sunlight to create electricity. This is stored in a battery, like a lithium ion battery that you might find in laptops. The generator has a power point where various devices can be plugged in to use the current of the battery as if they where plugged into a wall socket. The advantage of the solar generator is that if it is running low on charge then sunlight will help to top it up. Provided ...

HOW TO FIX A COMPUTER CRASH  by

 Lisa Nobles 		2/9/2008 at 11:33
If your computer crashes unexpectedly, everything comes to a halt. Prior to crashing your computer will likely start freezing up. This is an indication that your computer has to be fixed before it gives up completely. Fixing the computer does not need to involve replacement of the computer with a new one. Your current computer likely just needs a little attention.

Identifying the reason for crashing is essential prior to fixing the computer. The initial step is to reboot your computer. If the rebooting goes smoothly, it is apparent that you are facing a problem with your registry. If you cannot reboot instantly, then rebooting your computer in safe mode and locating a registry cleaner to fix your problem is essential.

Every file present in your registry contains a command or direction for every program and application on your computer. Registry files are the files that give your computer the instructions for what to do next. If these registry files get corrupt or misplaced, your computer fails to understand what to do. In these instances, your computer loses control, eventually leading to a crash.

At this stage the priority is to fix these registry files. In such situations it is suggested that you do not try to fix the registry yourself. Immediately find registry cleaner software and scan your computer to locate any errors. This software will identify all the missing entries or errors, restoring them right away. In many cases, your computer will be back to normal. It is recommended that you ...

With so many established websites offering all downloadable stuff for Zune and even more new ones mushrooming each day, it is easy to miss out some important details, ensuring best quality service.

What should you expect from a website for Zune downloads?

1. The right selection of movies

The right Zune movie download website for you should first of all have an impressive selection of movies; otherwise, there is no point in using it. Choosing the most comprehensive database is usually a safe bet.

2. Quick download process

No hiccups in downloading as well as fast speed are basic features that characterize the site as a genuine one. Should you wait for hours to complete a single download, move on and never look back.

COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW? A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE TO A REPAIR SHOP  by

 Jeff Farley 		2/9/2008 at 11:31
Is your computer running slow? Does it freeze at the most inopportune times? When you start it up or shut it down, does it seem to take an eternity to load?

There is nothing more irritating! When this has happened to me, I wanted to chuck my laptop across the room! Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed.

If you’re experiencing these issues with your PC, you have a few options. You can either take your computer to a repair shop, or opt for a fix from home. Let’s look at what’s involved in each.

1. RE-FORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE AND INSTALL WINDOWS AGAIN

If you choose this option, make sure you locate the Windows backup discs that came with your PC if you bought it. If you can’t find them, ou may have to obtain them from Microsoft. Be sure to backup any files you need, since they will be gone once the re-format has taken place. If this doesn’t solve the problems, you can:

2. SEND YOUR COMPUTER TO A SHOP TO HAVE IT FIXED.

You will probably have to pay at least one hundred dollars. You might have to pay more, depending on how the amount of labor involved. The wait time can be anywhere from one day to two weeks. Some will offer a money back guarantee. Contact your local repairman for details.

You also have the option of scanning your computer from home. If errors are found, you can purchase a program that will cost anywhere from $29 to $59. The whole process takes about ...

HOW TO WATCH MOVIES FROM YOUR COMPUTER  by

 Anyer Long 		1/19/2008 at 14:58
It’s really a pity that one owns a computer but can’t use it to its full potential. Thanks to toady’s technology, your computer is capable to do more than just office working, surfing the Internet, it also serves as a perfect personal home entertainment system. Movie, since introduced in the latter part of 19th century, has evolved into a grand spiritual enjoyment that compels almost every one. You don’t need to hook to TV or cinema, though they are still considered the main means of watching movie. Now, you can enjoy movies, with the ease and comfort at your finger tips, right in your chair in front of your computer.

Your DVD player/recorder.

The most common and easy way is using your DVD player/recorder. So be sure to buy a DVD when building a PC. The latest DVD player plays almost all kinds of movie disks, and provides you stunning performance of movie show. Choose a movie disk fits your taste in a local store, then enjoy it any time you like. The benefits are that you will have a infinite watch times and the freedom of time arrangement between work and entertainment.

Movies from the Internet.

Internet is a resource of all kinds of information including movie.

BACKUP YOUR DATA WITH USB FLASH DRIVES  by

 Trevor Walter 		1/19/2008 at 14:57
Everyone should know the value in backing up your data weekly, if not a daily basis but how many of us really it?

My computer of choice is a MacBook Pro and with the new Leopard operating system, I can have a program called "Time Machine" backup every time there is a change in my data but what good does that do me, especially if it is being backed up to a place on my hard drive or even on a portable hard drive? What would happen if there was a fire and I was not in the office or unable to get to my computer and portable hard drives - obviously I would be in a world of trouble.

I used to backup to CD’s, then to DVD’s and keep those at my house rather than the office but with so much data, that became a task that I didn’t keep up with very well. Over the years, USB Flash Drives have been a popular method for people to carry photos or a few documents with them but the drives didn’t offer much storage space - if you were lucky, you could get a 4GB USB Flash Drive. Thanks to the every increasing or should we say "decreasing" technology, I can get a USB Flash Drive up to 64GB if I wanted. Granted they are a little spendy but can you really put a price on the security of your important data? No Way!

Think about it - with a USB Flash ...

TECH PREDICTIONS FOR 2008  by

 Lisa Creech Bledsoe 		1/19/2008 at 14:57
I know, everybody makes them, and in fact, if you spend a lot of your time online (y’all, we gotta get out more), they aren’t even that hard to see coming -- you digirati probably already have several thoughts like, "Who will acquire Twitter?" or "I’ll be glad when I can monitor all my online networks from one place." So, here’s my list of five normal predictions, and one slightly paranoid one:

1. Social media proliferation will continue (Duh!)

• With a 668% growth from 4/06 to 4/07, it’s still getting stronger
• Corporations are starting to wonder how to use SM
• SM networks have "shaken down" over ’07
• Over ’08, the big SM networks will get bigger
• Anti-Social networks will rise and proliferate (Snubster, Enemybook)

2. Open ID (a united internet profile and interface) will rise

• More social media users will be looking for "one ring to bind them"
• "Integration indigestion" will get worse before getting better
• Several companies will propose solutions; the best will rise
• By ’09 the shakedown (mergers/acquisitions/closings) will begin
• Privacy issues will be discussed, innovated around, or ignored

3. Video marketing (a big piece of social media) will rise

• Along with more user-friendly ways to vlog, edit, mix, host, etc.
• Scalability will be an issue (how to upload to multiple sites at once)
• Quality of the average video post will not rise yet
• More issues on Digital Rights Management (scarcity models will lose ground)
• Start-ups will innovate around video search capabilities
• Companies will look for help to employ video marketing

4. ...

MP4 PLAYERS - THE NEXT BIG THING OF THE NEW ERA  by

 Mike Stone 		1/19/2008 at 14:56
I am a big fan of the new MP4 players. These things make leaving the house so much easier because you can take all your favorite things to go. Instead of having to leave behind your favorite movies and shows you can now take them with you. Of course, that does not mean that you have to give up your music because they can play that as well. MP3 players are becoming no more thanks the the new and improved MP4 players.

However, there are a few things that hold people back from getting them, and that has to do with the cost. Sure they may be newer and nicer looking, but that all comes to you at a price. Mostly you have to pay for the extra room that they can hold. The MP3 players just play music so they do not need a lot of music. However, movies can run you anywhere from 1 gig to 5 gigs of information to hold. That means that a small memory will not cut it anymore. However, some MP4 players can hold over 80 gigs!

If you are looking just to play music then there is no reason to get a MP4 player. However, if you are like me and want more out of your unit then you have to make the upgrade. Now more just sitting around listening to music as you wait for the bus or suck in a meeting. All you have to do is pull out the MP4 player, ...

WHERE TO GET VISTA DRIVERS  by

 Jacob Erdei 		1/19/2008 at 14:55
I see this question posted a lot on forums. I have older hardware, were can I get vista drivers for my device. Before even plugging in the new device into Vista you should go and check out the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers.

The manufacturer of the product is always the best place to search for the latest drivers. There you will also find information on whether the device is capable of working on Windows Vista. Read any and all instructions first before trying to install the drivers. You may find that you need to do a firmware update first.

Some computer components need the software installed before you connect the device. Hp for example is famous for this. If you install the device first and then the software you may run into issues.

Sometimes the manufactures site is not easy to navigate. When this happens do a search for just the model number and the keyword "driver". Do not click on the first link you see. Look for a link that has the manufactures website in it. Many sites say they have free drivers but you find out later the program you downloaded was just trial software or a virus. Always try the manufacture first and if you cannot find it there then go to one of the third party sites. Be sure you have virus and spyware protection before you download any program from a third party site.

Some older devices will not work with Vista. Even if the manufacturer states ...

HOW TO KEEP YOUR PC SECURE WHILE SURFING THE NET  by

 Hilary Rogers 		1/19/2008 at 14:54
Worms, Trojans, adware, spyware, key loggers and viruses are all types of malicious code that may invade your computer, seriously harming your system and data while also hogging system resources or reducing PC performance and Internet bandwidth. Here are seven ways to protect yourself against malware.

1. Update your operating system regularly

The first step in protecting your PC, and your valuable data, is to ensure that the operating system (OS) is updated with the latest security patches. This is critical as OS manufacturers, such as Microsoft Windows, update the security features of their products continuously to cover any potential and actual loopholes.

2. Buy good anti-virus software

Secondly you should have updated anti-virus software running on your system. This software must be able to scan email and files, as they are downloaded from the Internet, to help prevent malware reaching your system. It is also important to make sure that this anti-virus software is updated frequently, with fixes to the actual engine and to the database files, ensuring they contain the latest cures against new viruses, worms and Trojans.

3. Know your processes

Knowing what is running on your computer will increase your ability to identify potentially harmful processes. Call up the Windows Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DEL) and familiarize yourself with the processes running at any point in time. If you are uncertain what an individual process does, you can look it up, for free, on www.processlibrary.com The site also has a handy free tool which tells you exactly what’s running on your PC , ...
