Have you ever been drumming with your fingers on the table, waiting for your dead-slow computer to load the program you want, or maybe to move a file from a disk to another? It sure is frustrating to have to wait for these small opertaions to be completed, and even more when it stops entirely. Slow computers are a very common problem today, and many users don't know how to speed them up. I will give you three simple steps you can follow, and speed up your slow computer. Many home Pc users work every day with their slow computers, and does not actually know why they are so slow. There are many reasons for a computer to slow down. For instance when your harddrive is very fragmentet. That means that parts of data that belongs together is spread across the disk, and not "lined up". When the data is needed, the computer has to reassemble it to make it work. If it is spread in many and small fractions, the more time it will use. A simple disk-defragmentation is a good thing to do, and can be done from the start menu. Go to Accessories, to System Tools, and then click on the Defragment option. This process will take some time. In a good case I would say like an hour or two. In a really bad case it could take days. It won't be any faster than it was when it was brand new, but if we're lucky we'll get pretty close. Now over to the next step in the process of speeding up your dead slow computer. This step is called spyware removal. Spyware is a thing that definately will slow your computer down. The more spyware on the system, the slower it will get. What happens is that spyware are malicious software which will use your resources as it wants. When the numbers of infections get large, they will compete with eachother in their hunt for available resources. In the end you won't have anything left for the jobs you want to do. That is why I always recommend people with a slow computer to run a good spyware removal tool, and see if that speeds it up. The third and last step in our process is checking the windows registry for errors. The windows registry holds information about applications that is installed. Invalid entries could be references for software that is uninstalled. The registry entries were left behind and now they will slow your computer down even more. That is why I also recommend to do a full registry scan. This operation and a spyware removal can be done with expensive tools, cheap tools or free tools. Expensive tools doesn't always have to be the best ones, and many cheap tools are actually good quality software. There are also free software out there that turns out to be really great. It can boost up your slow computer and do alot for your online security. FreePcAssistance.com - A website offering free tools, and free assistance to private users.

Computer network installation has become an essential prerequisite for any efficient modern-day business as it allows employees to truly work as a team by sharing information, accessing the same database and staying in touch constantly. For a computer network to give the best results, a lot of detailed planning and foresight is required before installation. Firstly, an organization needs to clearly define its requirements – how many people would use the network, how many would use it locally (within the office) and how many might require remote access (from a different location), how many computers and other devices (servers, printers, scanners) would be connected to the network, what are the needs of the various departments and who would be in charge of running/managing the network. It also helps if one can anticipate the direction the company would take in the near future so potential growth can be factored in during computer network installation. The technology issues should also be ironed out in advance – hardware, software, servers, switches, back-up devices, cables and network operating systems. Make sure you have the required licenses to run the software on all your machines before installing a computer network. Alongside computer network installation should proceed the building of a dedicated technical support staff, either within your own organization or outside consultants? Delegate responsibility clearly for network management. Before installing the network, you also need to choose the security mechanism to protect corporate data and keep viruses at bay. The transition to a new or upgraded computer network can bring some teething problems. To minimize chances of confusion, the company might need to train its staff to make them familiar with the new system. Careful planning will to a large extent prevent crises like system downtime and network crashes.

Hard drive data recovery, for home Users means a disaster and can be a financial burden as well. Business Computers are usually connected to a network. Companies take alternate steps to avoid any data loss activity. The data protection is usually done through frequent backups on local and remote machine. But incase of individual or home user, when data loss does take place the situation is different, no access to data is possible and incase, there is backup then things can get worse. Data recovery is possible in case of data loss but it could be avoided. Here are some tips for you to relieve your panic of data loss due to inaccessible hard drive. Always check old hard drive before saving any data on it, if you hear any kind of sound than this means that the disk can crash at any time likewise you can use the different utilities provided to check for the surface of the disk. If your computer is getting slow, it can have different reasons and one can be slow hard disk. The hard after continuous use can become slow; this is due to normal wear and tear of surface of the drive. Even if the user has bought a new computer, this does not mean that the user is save from data loss, new hard drive can crash resulting in data recovery need, the hard can be replaced by the manufacturer but the data, they do not give any kind of warranty and data recovery is the only recourse available in such a situation. There are reasons which may cause hard drive failure, like: • Physical damage • Accidental deletion of partitions • Virus attack • Power surges • Loose head of hard disk • Human error • Corrupted operating system These result of all this will be, hard disk in non-operational state. The data recovery can done by oneself but if something goes wrong then the data is at stake and it can be lost permanently, where incase the hard drive is physically damaged, home user does not try self recovery and hence are saved from permanent data loss, but where is data recovery is needed due to logical loss, such as partition table corruption, home user do try self data recovery, which can be killing. This is a cheap and most easy way of solving the problem but it can further take the problem by causing permanent data loss. In case of any critical data loss problem especially incase of physical damage to the hard drive, you need to consult experience data recovery professionals because only data recovery specialist knows best how to recover data back into its original form.

Is your PC slowing down? Or maybe it crashing more and more, Well if that's the case it just might because your PC is suffering old age! Yes that's right just like people PCs suffer from the aging process too. But there's good news But unlike people you can actually turn back the aging process and bring your beloved PC back to life. All it takes is a couple of easy to follow tips to ignite your PC's performance to full speed again. Just follow these easy to follow steps: System configuration utility Even when your computer's sat there doing nothing it could be running at least 50 programs! These are programs that a munching away at your poor old CPU and not to mention having a right good go at your memory as well. The reason for this is because over time the more stuff you install the more crap that builds up and even if you don't even use that program, there's a damn good chance that it's running in the background. To see what I mean hit CTRL +ALT + DELETE then press the processes tab. It will show you how many processes that are running in the background. 1. To solve this little dilemma just go the Start or Run for XP owners, and type MSCONFIG. 2. The System configuration will appear and from in there go to the STARTUP tab. 3. Once you've selected the STARTUP tab you'll be presented all the programs that are running in the background of your PC. What I would recommend is turning everything off apart from your anti virus. If you do see anything what you do want on for example MSN massager by all means keep it on but the more you have running in the background the more it'll sap your PC's performance and will also affect you're your Boot times as well. System configuration utility part 2 Now still hanging around in the System Configuration Utility, go to the second tab called SERVICES and go to and untick the HIDE ALL MICROSOFT SERVICES. We've got to do this (unless you're a bit more experienced) because if you go and turn one of Microsoft's services you could just mess your entire PC up and we don't want that do we. Once you've unticked the box you should be just left with all the non Microsoft services. once again I would recommend to turn them all off but the anti viruses services. Once you've decided what and what not gets the chop click apply and you're done. Performance Options Depending on which OS (operating system) your using, this could make or brake it. If your using Windows Vista? I would recommend turning some the visual effects of especially on the lower end systems. However if your using XP, the performance will be less impressive but I believe every ounce of performance is crucial. Besides, you won't even notice half of these switched of anyway. Now as much as I would love to tell you how to get to these options, the ways to get there are very different when compared to Vista and XP. So a way around this (and probably a cop out as well) I'll just tell the vista owners to type in PERFORMANCE into the search bar, select PERFORMANCE INFORMATION AND TOOLS and click ADJUST VISUAL EFFECTS and you'll find your way there. For XP owners read on: 1. Go to Start, Control Panel and select PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE. 2. Then ADJUST VISUAL EFFECTS you should find yourself there. Now I would recommend turning them all off barring the last one. The last one keeps the modern Windows feel which I personally like but hay, everyone's different. Uninstalling A fast Hardrive is a empty hardrive. So if you've got an hardrive full to the brim, delete the programs and games you don't need to speed up your Hardrive and watch those boot times fly! Tip: If you're a gamer (like me) What you can do is save the save game file and uninstall the full game. This way you can get the wanted gigs of space back but not lose your place on Crysis. Cool eh. Defragging Now there's hundreds of other tips I wanted to share with you but I wanted to keep this article as short as possible to prevent you been bord to death. but the ver last thing I would do to my PC once I finish optimizing it is to defrag it. Now your probably thinking that yes I already know that James. But what I would recommend doing is using a different defragger especially if your using the dreaded Vista defragged. Now as you've probably gathered, I can't stand Vista's defragger, I think it's actually a step backwards, not a step forward. But what really annoys me about it is that you have no idea how long it will takes and how defragmented your hardrive is. But don't worry, because I'm going to show you to download a much better one that Vista's own shoddy attempt. Auslogics Disk defragger is its name and I think you'll find it quick and easy to use and it seems to do quite a good job as well. And another thing.. It's completely free to download as well. Here's the link http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/download Thanks for reading my article and I really hope it helped you out.
