Troubleshooting A Computer – A Free Guide

Kris Mainieri — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:20:18 +0000

If only man was that great to develop something so divine as a flawless, faulty-less computer! Impossible! The truth is, we all have to go through issues facing our personal computers, and how irritating it can be! Nothing is more frustrating than having a faulty computer or devices that may seem to have a life of its own and not follow the commands of its owner. Many of these instances call upon us the owners to try to find out what the problem is, as to resolve it before it reaches a point where it will cost us!

That is where the concept, Computer Troubleshoot comes in! It involves a process of elimination where the problem with the computer or its devices (including peripheral) is sourced and then resolved (if it is even that simple)! Usually when one goes through this process of elimination, a major factor has to be established in order to begin. It is figuring out whether the problem with the computer is because of a malfunctioning hardware or outdated and/or corrupted software. Hence, troubleshooting can be broadly divided into two aspects, that of the hardware and software components.

I’ve broken down this whole process and made it extremely easy for anyone to troubleshoot a computer.

Windows 7 RC 7100 Download

Kris Mainieri — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:10:44 +0000

So you have probably heard some of the hype surrounding Microsoft’s upcoming operating system, Windows 7. What you may not know is that it the RC (Release Candidate) is available from Microsoft’s website for free. Although not the exact version that will ship at the official release time, it is the ‘finished’ product minus any minor bug fixes or issues that may arise during the final testing phase. I would recommend installing this on a spare partition or hard drive because you will have to start from scratch installing the final release version.

In order to download the product, you must have a MSN Live account (which is also free by the way). The download is available in 32 and 64 bit versions and weighs in at around two and a half gigabytes. It is also packed as an .ISO so you will need software to burn it to a DVD (ImgBurn is a good freeware program that can easily do this).

Windows Vista users have the option to upgrade their current system or perform a fresh install however XP users will have to perform a fresh install. Fortunately the Migration Tool included makes things easier to back up you’re ‘My Documents’ and personal files but you will have to reinstall your software.

The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is a tool by Microsoft to let you know which hardware and software is compatible with Windows 7. There is also no need to rush as the download and product keys are available through June 2009.

Download, system requirements, and further information is located here.

How To Make Windows Boot Faster

Kris Mainieri — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 00:14:02 +0000

It can be very frustrating when it takes ages for your computer to start, but have no fear there are ways to make windows boot faster. Most personal computers have a lot of programs start each time Windows boots. You probably have a lot more programs start automatically on booting then you think. This will slow down your boot time considerably. You can undo auto loading through the control panel. Make sure you have created a system restore point before you do this. Make sure your virus protecting and firewall programs are always on.

Click Here To Download BootOptimizer (100% FREE)

Speed up your Windows start-up time by up to 257%. You should defragment your hard drive before running this tool. Works very well on a healthy system. Enjoy!

If your boot time is still long after this then you can clean out your registry file. The larger the registry file the longer it takes for Windows to boot. There are some free registry file cleaning software available online. If you have a lot of fonts in your system then this can also slow down the boot up. If you have more then 500 fonts then you need to get rid of some.

You can also add more memory or Ram to your computer. The faster your hardware is then the faster your computer can boot. Having more RAM also means your programs and computer in general will run faster. It is important to follow the directions carefully if you are installing your own RAM, as they are magnetized and if a spark is around the RAM will be useless.

Additional ways to make Windows boot faster include cleaning up your hard drive. Make sure you get rid of programs you never use and empty out your cookies files and temporary internet files. It is also a smart idea to run the chkdsk function at least once every six month, as this will take care of any problems that may have occurred in your operating system. When cleaning up your computer always make sure you have backed it up properly.

Speed Up Windows Vista 64 Bit

Kris Mainieri — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 22:59:31 +0000

Windows Vista’s Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, Business and Enterprise all have a 64-bit (or x64) edition. This was released early 2007. It is best utilized by computer users who have high-performance and advanced needs. The 64-bit edition is ideal for CAD and AutoCAD work, scientific computing, financial analysis, hard-core PC gaming and for multimedia artists. The 64-bit editions require a system with a 64-bit processor and 64-bit system drivers so make sure you are compatible before actually installing.

Some may find that using Vista x64 slows down the performance of their computer or makes their computers start up take longer than usual. Here are the top 5 ways to speed up Vista x64.

1. Uninstall the programs or applications that you do not use.

That software you used back in college for your project may no longer be needed. It is eating up too much memory and it reminds you of that frightful professor you had whose spindly fingers gave you the creeps. Go to Control panel and remove such programs.

2. Off with Aero Glass Transparency

It may have been cool to look at that trendy animation for a week or two but when you get down to doing real work, you need speed over aesthetics. To return to that automatic minimizing and maximizing of your windows, on the desktop, right click on an empty space. Click Personalize. Choose “Window Color and Appearance”. Then click “Open classic appearance properties for more color options” From here, there is a drop down asking for your color scheme, choose “Windows Visual Basic” then click OK.

3. Clean unused programs when Vista x64 is starting up.

It is also a good idea to do this as since you will also be able to detect if there are malicious software starting up with your Vista.

4. Auto-Defrag no more

Vista’s defaulted feature is automatically defragging every four times your computer starts. It may be quite annoying especially if you have a deadline to beat or if you are chatting with a friend halfway around the world and you only meet once in a while online. To stop this, go to “Computer” then point your mouse to your C: drive. Once there, right click and choose “Properties. Go to “Tools” and select “Defragment Now.” Uncheck the box for “Run on a Schedule.” Click OK. However, you still have to manually defrag your computer to avoid disk fragmentation. Do this around every month or so.

5. Use ReadyBoost

This is a feature of Vista you want to exploit. It uses an external drive for disk cache. What that means is it helps in expediting data access. If you plan to use this feature fully, have a pen drive that has at least 1GB storage capacity, with 512MB free.

These are just the top 5 and relatively easy ways on how to speed up Vista x64, aside from the obvious and expensive alternative of installing more RAM. If you already have a RAM of 2GB, then using the 5 mentioned ways will already boost the performance of your Vista x64.
