HOW TO FORMAT YOUR BOOK FOR KINDLE

2019-05-13T17:44:00.002-07:00

HOW TO FORMAT YOUR BOOK FOR KINDLE USING MICROSOFT WORD IN 6 EASY STEPS

Anyone who’s tried formatting their eBook themselves will tell you it’s no small feat. There are hundreds of conversion programs and Kindle “meatgrinders” that promise clean Kindle files, yet deliver a file full of gobbledygook. Some common formatting issues include wacky spacing, entire sections or chapters bolded and italicized, paragraphs split up, text flowing behind pictures and more.

If your Kindle book has bullet points, graphics, tables, block quotes or any other special formatting issues, this tutorial may not work for you. All those issues insert extra code that translates into “junk” code when the .doc file is turned into a bundle of XHTML files. Getting rid of the junk code requires a solid knowledge in XHTML programming and bundling in EPUB and MOBI formats. However if your eBook does not contain these formatting issues, here are 6 Easy Steps to turn your Microsoft Word document into a Kindle book:

STEP 1: TYPE IT CLEAN

Use the default settings in Microsoft Word. Don’t justify your text, don’t hit “Enter” twice after a paragraph to insert extra space, never ever hit “Enter” over and over again to get your next chapter on a new page and don’t use tabs to begin paragraphs. You can customize some settings like first paragraph indents and spacing between paragraphs, but keep in mind every customization you make is a chance for more junk code to sneak into your Kindle file.

STEP 2: INSERT PAGE BREAKS

After you’ve closely followed Step 1, start at the top of the document, place your cursor at the beginning of each section and chapter and hold down the “Ctrl” or “Cmnd” key on your keyboard and hit “Enter.” This will start each section on a new page and insert the proper code for the Kindle file letting the eBook software know that section is to begin on a new screen.

Most eBooks consist of the following sections created with page breaks:

Title page, including author’s name and publishing house (if applicable)
Copyright page
Dedication
Acknowledgements
Table of Contents
Foreword (if applicable)
Introduction
Body/Chapters
Conclusion
About the Author
Appendices including Bibliography, Glossary and Advertisements
Index (only when using a professional eBook programmer

While making your page breaks, remember to leave one blank page for your Table of Contents.

STEP 3: APPLY STYLES

Starting at the top of the document again, go through your entire book and apply the default “Heading 1” style to each section or chapter title (ie: Introduction, Foreword, Chapter 1… etc.) and the default “Heading 2” style to any subheadings throughout your book that you want to appear in the Table of Contents. If you don’t care if subheadings appear in the Table of Contents, you can just make them bold. The important thing is to set them apart so your reader knows you’re making a new point.

This step can also be done during the writing process, and the default styles in Microsoft Word can be customized. Keep in mind font types are limited on Kindle software, so it’s usually best practice to stick with the default font. The more you customize your fonts, sizes, colors, etc., the more information gets translated into the code and can potentially be turned into junk code causing issues down the line. Keep it simple.

STEP 4: CREATE YOUR TABLE OF CONTENTS (TOC)

Microsoft Word has the built-in capability to link styles with Table of Contents listings. Each version of Word is different, so I recommend you consult the “Help” menu for instructions. Usually the TOC commands can be found under a “References” tab.

Using this built-in system, determine what you want your TOC to look like. For example, if you wanted subheadings from Step 3 to appear in your TOC, be sure to choose settings that include subheadings (“Heading Style 2”) in the listing.

Place your cursor at the beginning of the blank page you reserved for your TOC in Step 2 and insert it there. Everything should be hyperlinked. Page numbers will probably appear as well, but these will disappear during the conversion process.

STEP 5: CONVERT TO MOBI

If you’ve followed Steps 1-4 carefully and don’t have much (if any) extra special formatting issues such as bullet points, images, tables, etc., you can use a converter tool to create your MOBI file, which is the file format recognized by Kindle devices and apps.

Keep in mind even though the Kindle Previewer app gives you the option to preview what your eBook will look like on multiple devices, it doesn’t always show everything the same way a real Kindle device will, so it’s always best practice to copy your MOBI file onto an actual Kindle and preview it that way. I preview my eBooks on both my Kindle Keyboard and Kindle Fire to make sure they’re readable.

STEP 6: UPLOAD!

At this stage you’re ready to upload your eBook to Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) system. Sign up for an account at KDP.Amazon.com and fill out the information about your eBook. Click “Publish” and within 48 hours your eBook will appear on Amazon.com for sale!

Congratulations! You just completed a Kindle book in six easy steps!

How to fix a corrupt user profile in Windows: The User Profile Service failed the logon

2015-01-06T13:14:00.000-08:00

When you type your password and press Enter, you will typically see the error message “The User Profile Service failed the logon” and “The user profile cannot be loaded”, and you’ll be returned to the logon screen.

WARNING: Some people have lost files by using Method 1 below, so create a backup of your hard disk, or just files you cannot afford to lose before trying anything which involves editing the Windows Registry. There are various programs which will allow you to make a copy of your entire disk, but you will need a second disk with sufficient capacity, and may even need a second PC or laptop in order to copy the disk (if you can't boot into Windows). You should also make a backup of the Registry itself from Safe Mode before you start. These instructions are provided as a last resort, and we recommend you try Method 2 - below - before trying Method 1.

Method 1: Fix a corrupt profile

Microsoft says that a user profile can become corrupted if your antivirus software is scanning your PC while you try to log on, but it could also be caused by other things.

A quick fix can be to restart your PC, but if this doesn’t work you’ll need to restart again and boot into Safe mode. Do this by pressing F8 before you see the Windows loading screen and choosing Safe Mode from the menu that appears.

Safe Mode logs you into the built-in Windows administrator account, but you might find that some options don’t work.

Step 1. To fix the user profile, click Start and type regedit into the search box and press Enter.

Step 2. Registry Editor will launch and you need to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Step 3. Click each S-1-5 folder and double-click the ProfileImagePath entry to find out which user account it relates to.

Step 4. Once you have located the folder for the corrupt profile (and it doesn’t have a .bak ending), double-click RefCount and change the Value data to 0 and click Ok.

Step 5. Now double-click on State and make sure the Value data is again 0 and click Ok.

Step 6. Close regedit and restart your PC. You should now be able to log into your account.

Method 2. Create a new user profile

If you have a second account on your PC which you can log in to, you may be able to use this account to follow the steps below to create a new user account.

However, if there is no other account, boot into Safe Mode (as described above) and try to follow the steps. If that still doesn’t work, you need to enable the hidden admin account. To do this, type cmd in the search box and then right-click on Command Prompt in the list of results and choose Run as administrator.

Now type the following at the prompt:
net user administrator /active:yes

The response should be: The command completed successfully. Now reboot your PC and you should see an Administrator account as well as your corrupt account. Log into the admin account (there’s no password) and follow the steps below:

Step 1. Open Control Panel and click User Accounts and Family Safety (or similar). Click on User Accounts.

Step 2. Click Manage another account and type in the password (if prompted).

Step 3. Click Create a new account and type the name. This must be different from the account which is corrupt, but you can rename the account later on if you want to have the same name as before.

Step 4. Restart your PC.

COPY USER FILES TO THE NEW PROFILE

Step 5. In order to transfer files properly, it’s best to log in as Administrator or Guest rather than the new profile you just created, so enable one of these accounts if you haven’t already done so.

Step 6. Navigate to the corrupt user account by clicking Start, Computer and then double-clicking on the hard drive on which Windows is installed – usually c: - and then double-clicking on the Users folder. Find the folder containing your old user account and double-click it, then double-click My Documents.

Step 7. It’s best to copy across the contents of sub-folders separately, and this gives you a chance to have a clear out as well. If you do want to copy the entire contents in one go, enable hidden files and folders and then make sure you DON’T copy across the following files:

Ntuser.dat
Ntuser.dat.log
Ntuser.ini

To make these files visible, click the Tools menu (press Alt if you can’t see it), click the View tab and click Show hidden files, folders and drives.

Beware that any email stored locally may need to be copied separately using instructions specific to your email program. Don’t delete the corrupt user profile until you’re sure you have all the files you need from it.

Step 8. When all the files are copied across to the newly created user profile (you’ll find it in the same c:\Users folder as the corrupt profile), restart your computer and log onto the new profile.

2012-09-02T03:21:00.001-07:00

Microsoft Word is a very simple software for creating documents. But it is not a good software for writing HTML documents and web pages, because it adds plenty of garbage markup (unnecessary and proprietary tags and attributes) to your HTML, so that the resulted HTML files becomes very bloated, full of unnecessary line breaks, different link colors and sometimes even incompatible with browsers other than MS Internet Explorer. While some will consider softwares like paid Dreamweaver to convert MS Word Docs to HTML, others would like less expensive and more light-weight software.

DocToHTML (For MS Word 2007 and higher, this button placed on separate “DocToHTML” ribbon tab) is easy to installed and through well dedicated graphical interface the conversion is controlled to match the desired result in quick way. This software is able to convert any format which MS Word can open (DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, etc.), to clean and compact web HTML or XHTML, while conserving most of the font and paragraph formatting attributes. DocToHTML also has several built-in conversion templates which allows you to quickly select the necessary type of conversion project.

Converting Word Document to HTML is simple. Open a Word Document and click on Save As Clean (X)HTML, a new window will appear, and you will notice that the left column contains only one Option (General) and if you would like all the capacities click on Show Tabs located below. Choose the output format (HTML 4.0.1 or XHTML 1.0), select the appropriate image format (GIF, JPEG, or PNG), add or edit Meta Tags, include your own CSS files and HTML code fragments templates. If you selected “Open the resulted document in the default browser” checkbox, DocToHTML will open the final output in the Default browser, but through the Advanced option user can make a batch file to open it in different browser. This should be carried with Execute Command After End Of Conversion!. This Advanced tab has also some interesting features that you will easily get benefit from it and make an HTML optimized for certain web browsers (Explorer, FireFox, Opera).

The resulted size of (X)HTML and CSS files are in the order of several times smaller than those produced by MS Word itself. This means that they are several times faster to load, thus leading to better user experience for visitors of your website, and to saving of your bandwidth. Also this means that you can edit the resulted (X)HTML code with ease because it does not contain any redundancy. DocToHTML conversion options dialog also has a special section named CSS from which you are able to add your styles to make unique pages with defined color, typography, elements of a document, positioning, etc.. You can selectively discard any formatting elements through appropriate Tabs (Font attr, Paragraph Attr, List attr, etc.), leaving only those that is relevant to you at the moment. All this will help you to republish a Word document as a web page, with given formatting.

The output from the converter is in HTML (or XHTML) format. The following elements of the document are preserved : Text, Paragraphs, Headings (with heading levels), Lists (ordered and unordered lists, and nested lists), Hyperlinks, Tables, Frames, in short, almost all.

Another convenient feature is ability to convert (and place result to the clipboard) only selected text from within MS Word – in just one click! If editing of selection conversion results is needed, DocToHTML has a handy Edit (X)HTML features as shown below.

DocToHTML Features :

Microsoft Toolbar Tabbed Integration
Batch Processing
Integration to windows Explorer Right Click Context Menu
MS Word 2000 or later (XP, 2003, 2007, 2010) (32-bit only),
Very compact and clean (X)HTML code from any Word document
Built-in (X)HTML editor and browser – make changes and view results instantly!
Hierarchical (X)HTML indentation/wrapping mode to ease editing
W3C standards-compliant resulted (X)HTML code
You can include your own CSS
You can insert your own (X)HTML templates
Easy-to-use stand-alone GUI batch converter
Command line support to completely automate the process
File masks support to process only needed documents
Convenient and powerful system of conversion templates

With DocToHTML quality is assured during conversion Document to HTML and XHTML with lesser time even with big projects in batch mode.

Many people know how to use MS Word, but they don’t know how to write HTML documents. With DocToHTML you need not learn HTML, with MS Word only you can create wonderful pages. So, try DocToHTML for a 30 days trial period and feel free to upgrade according to your need.

Windows 8 Shutdown - How to shut down a Windows 8 PC

2012-08-10T01:04:00.000-07:00

Shutting down Windows 8 can be frustrating as it is no longer the intuitive process that Windows users are accustomed to in previous versions. Now in order to perform any power-related operation, the standard way is to invoke the Charms menu, which shows up on the right side of the screen. It might even seem unnatural now that the Start menu is gone.

Today I'm Going to tell you, how to create a Shutdown Button for Windows 8 by very easy 10 steps.

Where Windows 7 displays its power button in a prominent place on its Start Menu, Windows 8 makes perform four actions just to turn y our computer off. To get to the power button in the new OS, you must pull out the Charms menu, click the Settings charm, click the Power button and then select Shutdown or Restart.

However, there’s an easy way to put the shutdown and restart functions just one click away from the desktop and Start screen. Just create shortcuts for both actions using the following steps:

Navigate to the desktop.
Right click on the desktop and select New -> Shortcut. A shortcut menu appears.
Enter shutdown /s /t 0 (that’s a zero) in the location box and hit Next.
Enter a name for the shortcut and click Finish. A new shortcut will appear on your desktop.
Right click on the shortcut and select Properties. A dialog box appears.
Click Change Icon under the Shortcut tab then Click Ok in warning box that says shutdown.exe contains no icons.
Select an Icon from the list of available images Click Ok twice (once to close the Change Icon window and once to close Properties window). Your shortcut will now have an icon.
Right click the shortcut and select Pin to Start. The shutdown icon will now appear on your Start screen.
Drag the shutdown icon to a prominent place on your Start screen. We recommend putting it in the first column to the left so you will always see it.
Right click the icon and select Pin to Taskbar if you want the shortcut to live on your desktop’s taskbar as well.

Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) :Self-publish to Amazon's Kindle Store with easy 6Steps

2012-07-14T07:07:00.005-07:00

While I'm formattng Books to kindle, most of my custermers ask me how to upload formated file to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) I was replying them to induvidually how to do it Step by Steps to do it till amazon aprove it.

if you have plane to upload book to Amazon, then you should know these points also

1. Automatically publish to Kindle stores on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de, simultaneously

2. Choose several languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian

3. Price Setting for US Dollars, Pounds Sterling, or Euros and choose between 35% or 70% commissions

4. Kindle apps expand your reach beyond the Kindle and onto iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, PC, Mac, Blackberry, Android-based devices and Windows Phone 7

5. Submit your e-book to the Amazon Kindle Singles storefront

With all these advantages, Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is best described as simple, flexible and far-reaching.

Lets Start Uploading your well formated (HTML, MOBI,PRC) file to kindle store via your registered Account

Step 1 – Write (and Format) the Book!

What file format does the Amazon Kindle use?

Usually .MOBI, .PRC, files.

In addition to the file formats listed above, you can also convert other personal documents to read on your Kindle. The supported file formats are listed below:
• Microsoft Word (.DOC) • Structured HTML (.HTML, .HTM) • JPEG (.JPEG, .JPG) • GIF (.GIF) • PNG (.PNG) • BMP (.BMP) • Compressed ZIP (.ZIP)
In addition to the above the Kindle can also display PDF formated documents.

NOTE: .MOBI, .PRC files will give you proper formated file and user frenly look on Kindle

Step 2 – Sign Into Amazon KDP With Your Account

Whether your book is completely finished or a work-in-progress, head over tohttp://kdp.amazon.com and sign in with ease through your pre-existing Amazon.com account information.

Otherwise, you will have to sign up for a free Amazon account to access Amazon KDP.

Step 3 – “Add a New Title” to your KDP Bookshelf

To create a new publication, click the “Add a new title” button. This will create your new project.

Step 4 – Edit Book Details in the “Your Book” Tab

Now, it’s time to add all the necessary information about your book.

First, you’ll start by adding the book’s name, and optionally include a Series Title, Volume number and Edition number.

Most important will be investing some time into writing a strong description of the book, which is actually what will be displayed below your book’s basic information on Amazon Kindle Store (and ultimately help sell the book). This is how it will display:

Now Time to Upload Cover

Upload Your Book Cover also

Moving on to the next step of your book’s details, you’ve given the option to upload a book cover, which I highly recommend.

Amazon recommends either a JPEG (.jpeg) or TIFF (.tif or .tiff) image with dimensions of 1280 pixels wide by 550 pixels tall, and a standard resolution of 72 dpi.

After you upload your cover image, you can choose whether or not you want to enabledigital rights management (DRM) which intends to (keyword intends, but does not guarantee) the unauthorized distribution of the Kindle file of your book.

This prevents your customer from being able to share or “lend” your book to a friend for any period of time, and is irreversible once your book is uploaded.

Step 5 – Properly Format Your Book for Upload

NOTE: .MOBI, .PRC files will give you proper formated file and user frenly look on Kindle

Finally, hit Save and Continue to carry onto the final page of your book’s upload.

Step 6 – Wait Till Amazon’s Approve the Book

When you are finished with providing all of the details and price specifications of your book, your submission will take usually 24 hours for Amazon to officially approve.

Make a fillable and saveable PDF form

2012-04-15T04:04:00.001-07:00

I finally figured out how to make fillable and saveable PDF forms without purchasing or using any server side products.

Acrobat 9 PRO is required to MAKE the fillable/saveable form.
To OPEN and SAVE ENTERED DATA, Acrobat READER 8 or higher is required...

In brief: Two "magical" properties need to be "enchanted" upon the PDF file. The PDF file needs to be made a) fillable b) saveable

You need to use a computer with Acrobat 9 Pro (and any version of Word).

Create your form in MS Word (or you can create the document and add form fields directly in Acrobat Pro but Word seems to be easier).
Save your document (e.g. "SampleForm.doc"). In Word "print it" to the Adobe PDF printer: Word => File => Print => Adobe PDF.
The PDF printer will ask you to save the PDF file (e.g. "SampleForm.pdf).
Open Acrobat Pro => Forms menu => Start Forms Wizard => "Start with a PDF document" => select your PDF file ("SampleForm.pdf").
Add/edit/delete form fields that Acrobat didn't recognize correctly (if there any such fields).
When done with touching up, use File => Save (not save as). Forms menu => Close Forms Editing. This officially marks the PDF file as a fillable.
Acrobat Pro => File => Open and open the pdf file again.
Advanced => Extend Features in Acrobat Reader => Save Now and give it a different name (e.g. "SampleForm-filable.pdf"). This officially marks the PDF form as saveable.

Core i7 - latest intel processor for desktop

2011-12-26T03:10:00.000-08:00

The Core i7 is the latest and fastest Intel CPU, although the above response is incorrect about the nature of the Core i7 architecture. Unlike the previous model Core 2 Quad, which was essentially two dual core CPUs on the same chip, the Core i7 is a native quad core architecture.

Core i7 features four physical cores with "hyper-threading", which allows each core to handle two threads simultaneously, resulting in 8 logical cores. It is actually more similar in design to the AMD Phenom CPU (also a native quad core design) than it is to Core 2 Quad. Like Core 2, Core i7 has individual L2 cache, but the size of this cache is much smaller than Core 2. Instead, Core i7 takes a similar approach to Phenom, featuring a large shared L3 cache.

Core i7 also features Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), which replaces the FSB from Core 2. This is how the CPU interfaces with the motherboard, and its theoretical bandwidth is more than twice that of the fastest 1333MHz FSB available in the Core 2 line.

Core i7 requires an x58 chipset motherboard with socket LGA 1366 and will only accept DDR3 RAM. Apparently, Intel will produce no more Core 2 CPUs for socket LGA 775. The next desktop CPU release is rumored to be Core i5, which will utilize a P55 chipset and socket LGA 1156.

Core i5 will be a cheaper, lower performance CPU intended for the mainstream market as Core i7 is currently targeted at the enthusiast or high-end market. Intel is also working on a 32nm process which will feature chips with more than 4 cores and chips that have the central processing cores on the same die as an integrated GPU.

Before Buying a Laptop - you should know

2011-12-26T02:53:00.001-08:00

A laptop, also called a notebook is a personal computer for mobile use. a laptop integrates most of the typical components of a desktop computer, including a display, a keyboard, a pointing device (a touchpad, also known as a trackpad, and/or a pointing stick) and speakers into a single unit. A laptop is powered by mains electricity via an AC adapter, and can be used away from an outlet using a rechargeable battery.

Purchasing a home or business laptop can be a much more confusing and sometimes frightening experience as most users today have some experience with a desktop computer but not as many have experience with a laptop, Portable computers are an excellent solution for anyone who needs to be laptop is a small computer have all of their information on it. Below is a listing of help and tips when considering to purchase a laptop computer.

The processor and you

When it comes to processors, go with the fastest you can afford, regardless of the notebook's form factor. You have a lot of options, so here are the basics.

Intel's Pentium M CPU line offers speed while enabling great battery life. These chips, combined with Intel's wireless LAN electronics and either the 915 Express or 855 chipset, make up Intel's Centrino mobile technology. The biggest downside is price -- Pentium Ms are still costly.

AMD's mobile processors are more affordable than Intel's, but they generally lag behind Intel's on our MobileMark tests. AMD's Turion 64 processors may change that, however. AMD says the chips will offer optimisations for high performance, wireless capability, and long battery life.

3. Screen sizes

Wide-screen notebooks, which have an aspect ratio of 16:9, offer larger, sharper, and all-around better images than their 4:3 standard-screen cousins. They're great for allowing you to have two documents or Web pages open side-by-side. A spacious 17-inch wide-screen laptop is a nice luxury if you're not planning on traveling with it.

4. Memory memiors

Having enough memory is vital to system performance, and lots of RAM lets you run more applications simultaneously. Sufficient RAM is also necessary for graphics work, image editing, and video editing, and crucial for 3D gaming. This is especially true in notebooks, because notebook graphics processors frequently have little or no memory of their own and share the main system RAM.

Operating System(OS)

OS is often heard term when you talk to the salesman in the laptop shop or to your friends. It is nothing but a software which helps you to control the computer. For example , if you enter the username and password and click logon, then you are asking the computer to logon through the operating system. Operating System(OS) is there in any computer, cell phones or Laptop.
5. Typing and mousing

As notebooks shrink in size, so do their keyboards. If possible, try some simple typing exercises before you buy. Pay particular attention to the spacebar, Shift, Ctrl, and Backspace/Delete keys. Be sure all are in a good location for your hand size and typing style.

Computing today relies a lot on mousing. With a notebook, all you get is a touch pad or pointing stick. Test the notebook's input device for comfort and responsiveness. Some touch pads include extra features, such as a dedicated area for scrolling.

6. Vying for video RAM

If you're not planning on doing much graphics work or playing 3D games, shared memory should be fine. But if you have a choice, aim for a graphics chipset that shares at least 64MB of system memory.

7. A slot for all reasons

Like a PCI slot in a desktop, a PC Card (or PCMCIA) slot in a notebook provides expansion opportunities. Additional USB and FireWire ports, wired and wireless modems, and wireless LAN radios are all available in PC Card form. PC Cards and slots come in three sizes: Type I, II, and III. Type I cards are normally used for memory, Type II for input/output devices, and Type III for mass storage and firewalls.

8. Get connected

Ports, especially USB and FireWire, are necessities, but on notebooks they're usually in short supply. At a minimum, look for two USB ports, and if you have any legacy devices, such as parallel printers, look for those ports, too. If you'd like to use a digital camcorder or iPod with your notebook, make sure the notebook has a FireWire (IEEE 1394) port. Connecting a monitor will require a VGA port. And if you want to output video to a television, find a notebook with an S-Video out.

9. Go wireless

Integrated wireless networking (Wi-Fi) has become an indispensable feature. Most notebooks ship with a choice of 802.11b or 802.11b/g. Capable of data throughput of 11Mbps, 802.11b is fine for ordinary use. Public hotspots typically use 802.11b or 802.11g.

10. Power on the go

Lithium-ion batteries have all but replaced nickel-cadmiums because they're lighter, have a higher energy density, and don't suffer from recharge-inhibiting memory effect.

Also look out for battery capacity (measured in milliamp hours, or mAh), and the number of cells. Typical batteries have a mAh rating between 2,000mAh and 6,000mAh; higher is better. Cells are the actual compartments where power is produced and can range from four to 12; the more the better.

Networking Tips

2011-12-25T15:22:00.000-08:00

In my previous post also I have mention how to secure wireless Network & how to connect a Hidden Network. the following tips are very helpful in securing network and as well as computer network.

computer networks are used to share the data and resources and for the communications. To get the optimized performance,
data protection, maintenance, improved reliability and the security, every system administrator and network administrator should know the basic maintenance, troubleshooting and security techniques.

Security

A compute network is susceptible to the internet and external security related threats, which includes viruses, spyware, adware, Trojan horses, rootkits, web worms, intruders and hackers. To keep your network secure

Firewall: Install and configure a software/hardware firewall on your gateway and all other computers in your network. Firewall is used monitor the inbound and outbound traffic and block the unauthorized access and hackers’ attacks.

Antivirus: Install antivirus software such as Norton Antivirus, Trend Micro Office Scan, Panda Antivirus or McAfee and regularly scan your computer with an antivirus program.

Anti spyware: Install and configure an up-to-dated anti spyware software in your network.

Updated Operating System: Update your Windows based operating systems with the latest service packs, hot fixes and security patches.

Browser Security: Raise the level of security of your web browsers.

Connectivity

Computer networking sometimes considered to be complex and seems to hard to troubleshoot. The connectivity problems occur in the computer network due to the devices conflicts, outdated LAN card’s driver, faulty hardware, faulty cable or connectors and misconfigurations. To troubleshoot the connectivity related issues, you need to perform the following tasks.

Check the LEDs of your LAN card.

Update the driver of your LAN card.

Scan your computer for the viruses and spyware.

Check the UTP/STP cable, the both end of the cable should be properly inserted i.e. one end in the LAN card and one end in the hub/switch or router.

Check the configurations of the LAN card.

PING the destination computer and check the status.

If your problem is still not resolved, replace the LAN card and reconfigure it.

Maintenance

Computer network availability and security is very critical for the businesses. Maintenance include the domain setup, dealing with the internal and external security threats, assigning IP addresses to the computes, enabling/disabling network services like DHCP, FTP SMTP, SNMP, taking data backup, adding/removing users, troubleshooting the software/hardware, configuring the firewall and implementing the security in the overall IT infrastructure. To perform the maintenance related tasks in your compute network, you need the perfect tools.

Troubleshooting

You can troubleshoot the computer network related problems by using the right tools and techniques. Be default, Windows based operating systems offer the TCP/IP stack, which contains the troubleshooting and diagnostic utilities such as PING, IPCONFIG, Hostname, ARP, Telnet, NSLOOKUP, Tracert and many others. Pinging a network computer is the first troubleshooting step as it checks the connectivity with the destination computer. Additionally, you can use the other troubleshooting tools such as Ethereal, IP Sniffer, LanGuard, Packeteer and many others. These tools help to diagnose the cause of the problem and troubleshoot them.

Performance

To get the optimized performance from your computer network, you need to perform the following actions on every computer of your network.

Use System Tools

Delete Unnecessary Files

Update Device Drivers

Update BIOS

Uninstall Unused Programs

Update Operating System

Wireless Networking Security Tips

In my previous post also I have mention how to secure wireless Nework & how to connect a Hidden Network. the following tips are very helpful in securing your wireless computer network.

Change the Default SSID (Service Set Identifier)

Change the Default Administrator’s password

Disable SSID broadcast.

Enable Mac Address Filtering

Assign Static IP address to the Network devices and computers.

Turn on and configure the firewall on every computer in your network.

Enable IPSec, SSL, Encryption, WPA and WPE according to your security requirements.

IT companies seek out network assessment services for the evaluation of their physical, operational, and technological controls.

How to Format a Hard Drive

2011-12-24T10:30:00.000-08:00

We can use so many methods to format hard drive in our computer. but we have to make sure wen we format a hard disk in vista, it allow us to create a partition also at the same time. in this introduction i will tell you to how we can do both work at once. You first need to prepare your computer for formatting and save all your files that you would like to keep. Then you need to
delete your hard drive and then format it. follow my instructions.

First Step: Preparation

The first step in this how to format a hard drive tutorial is to prepare your hard drive for formation. Remember everything you have on this hard drive will be lost. So be very careful before you click, 'delete partition'. Make sure you check your desktop, your my documents folders, maybe export your emails and address book and save your favorites. Once you are happy that all your files have been saved move on to the next step. Save all your files onto a CD, DVD, or another hard drive or partition (that you won't be deleting).

Second Step: Delete Partition

If your using Windows vista or w7, go start, control panel, administrative tools and then double click computer management. You will need to press continue. Then select Storage, Disk Management and right click on the partition on the bottom of the page and select delete volume. The Print Screen on the right explains it easily.

Third Step: Format Hard Drive

Once you have deleted the partition simply right click on the unallocated space and select new simple volume. Follow the new simple volume wizard. When you get to the option of NTFS and FAT32 choose NTFS because its faster and more secure. Click here to view more reasons why NTFS is better.

Fill in the volume label (which is the name of the hard drive) and continue to follow the prompts. The computer will then format your hard drive. Depending on the size of your hard drive and whether you selected quick format or not, this could take a very long time or a shorter amount of time. Once it completes your hard drive is finished and ready to use.

Basic Maintenance For Personal Computers

2011-12-24T03:03:00.000-08:00

Computers become a staple of our world, continuously undergoing development, changes and updates. There are pretty a lot of things that we can do with them. A huge part of computer usage comes from personal computer usage. People type, chat, surf the net, watch shows, download files, play games and do a lot of other things in the computer.

People utilize the computer to surf the internet which successively endangers it to a number of unwanted and harmful programs, and viruses. System maintenance is essential to make certain that it is working properly.

The computer system is not so much different from our automobiles regarding maintenance. Just like our engines, we perform typical structure check-ups or bring them to special service outlets to get fixed. Aware of the computer’s significant part in our office and daily life, we should constantly make sure that there are no unwanted matters that could alter or cause it to break down.

Two Kinds Of Maintenance Computers Go Through:

Preventive Maintenance.
Preventive maintenance includes common computer security and cleanups that prevent potential PC errors. Simple actions like scanning, virus removal, disk defragmentation, disk error correction and file organization are applied. Preventive maintenance also includes motherboard and other components clean up to prevent related problems.

Corrective Maintenance.
While preventive maintenance’ devotion to keeping the system safe from potential technical problems, corrective maintenance’ devotion is diagnosing and fixing existing problems. Corrective maintenance may require repairing parts or even replacing them with new ones. Computer technicians are specifically trained to carry on repairs and configuration assistances, but it is likewise advisable to visit computer maintenance or repair centers that are knowledgeable with the type of operating system or computer.

Scheduled computer maintenance is important to guarantee that it is secure and is functioning properly, especially for businesses and organizations that bank expectantly on computer networks. Finding an adept computer and IT professional is priceless in ensuring that the actions and important data stored in the communication systems will not stolen nor leaked. Computer maintenance and assistance providers help your organization increase its productivity.

Securing a Computer with BIOS

2011-12-23T07:33:00.000-08:00

BIOS which stands for Basic Input Output System is though one of the most important part of a pc, it is normally overlooked when it comes to securing computer. BIOS helps boot your computer. You may not have realized its importance as mostly all we want and care about is to reach desktop as soon as pc boots up. Securing your pc and data from unauthorized access is important if you have important personal or official data in your machine which you wouldn’t want to share with others. One way to protect it from others is to set a password on your account effectively preventing others from logging in. However, such type of protection is very basic and subjected to a number of other exploits.

The computers these days come equipped with Biometrics based authentication which normally authenticates you either using fingerprint scans, facial recognition or other ways. Even though this is effective, there are ways to circumvent this. A user can always make a bootable pen drive or boot your machine your Linux based live CD & therefore can easily access your confidential data.

To make this possible, one has to access BIOS and change the priority of bootable devices by setting pen drive or live CD as first bootable device. You can prevent this from happening if you set a user password on your BIOS. This will also add a layer of protection in your pc. A BIOS password will help if someone tries to access your BIOS and change order of boot device or make any other setting as BIOS will first authenticate the user before making any changes.

The only problem with this method is that you will have to remember your BIOS password otherwise it may lock you out if you happen to forget it. This is unlikely though but possible.

IP address conflict with another system on your network

2011-12-22T09:47:00.000-08:00

If you get this message "There's an IP address conflict with another system on your network" on your PC, it means that you have a problem on your local network. This error message usually appears when a new computer or other networking device connected to the existing network.

The reason for the message "There's an IP address conflict with another system on your network" is exactly the same thing which tells in the error message.

The same IP address of your computer is used by some other device in the same network and due to that you get this error

HOW TO FIX THE IP CONFLICT ERROR ON YOUR COMPUTER

We can fix this error by refreshing (Release and Renew) the IP address of computer if you are getting IP address from an DHCP server.

To refresh IP address on computer should release and renew IP address from command prompt. To perform that follow the steps below.

1. Release IP address
Go to command prompt and type the command below and press enter.

ipconfig/release
Now the IP address of your computer will be 0.0.0.0 and you will be disconnected from the network.

2. Renew IP address
On the command prompt window type the command below and press enter.

ipconfig/renew

Now your computer will receive a new IP address from the DHCP server.

Note: If computer is using a static IP address you need to change the current IP address to a new address manually.
