• Computer maintenance and its importance

  Computer maintenance is the practice of keeping computers in good state of repair. I have well maintained computer can live well beyond its "life expectancy."

  Computer maintenace can take two forms. The first is to physically clean the computer itself and the second is by cleaning the 'virtual computer '. The virtual machine is inside your computer, system files, documents, programs, etc. Here is a good list of tips and tools that you can use to keep your computer.

  Virus protection

  Install anti-virus software to protect you. There are many programs that are available to help protect yourself you against viruses are created every day. Ask 10 different people what antivirus program, you should get you'll get 10 different answers. You may need this option to find out which antivirus program you prefer and run with it research. As long as the program is updated regularly, you will find that you are taking the right step in the right direction.

  Update regularly, check your settings of your antivirus program. Many of these programs come by default to search for and install updates regularly (usually once a day). If your program is not defined that way I would strongly advise to search for and install updates on a daily basis. Every day without the latest definitions are everyday you find yourself vulnerable to the latest virus.

  Applications

  
  

  Each application and utility are prone to security risks. The developers of these applications can find a breach in security and patch it, if you don't have the latest version, you can find yourself open to attack.

  Remove unused programs. If you have not used a program in a long time, then it is likely that you don't need. Many unused programs can represent free space that is not available to you because you have a program that you have installed a year ago. Many new computers have testing programs and other software that you might find that it is not enough. By removing unused software, you can help up to free space that you can use later on the road.

  Clear temporary files and other unnecessary files

  
  

  When you use the Internet a copy of every web page you visit is stored. This is useful because it allows for faster viewing later on the road. Say I visit Facebook every day, in theory the first day, I'm going it can be slow to load, but every day it's going to be faster as the day of the original. While this works great it does she become a resource hog when you already visited 10000 Web sites last month. Since it is space occupied at least once a month you should consider to erase temporary internet files, internet history and cookies out of your system. Here's how to delete information on the three most used browsers.

  Internet Explorer

  Chrome

  Firefox

  The next thing you want to do is clean out that downloads the file. What happens so you go to a site and you decide to download any software. If you click on it and it downloads and then you run it. The program installs and everything works fine with the program, you are quite right? No! What of this file, you need to download? It is still on your computer and it is absorbed to free space. Only a single file resumes May 5 k of space, but let's say download you 20 apps, oh are you want to look at the pictures if you have downloaded those as well. Now take a little space that you can not use your downloads. Cleaning of your download folder can help find some of this space lost on your computer.

  The download folder is easy to access

  1. Click Start
  2. Go to 'My Documents '.
  3. Downloads

  You should consider to keep this cleaned once a month. If you find that you download a bunch of stuff then you might want to dump this on a more regular basis.

  While we're on the subject of clean up the record of downloads let's talk about these zip files. If you receive a bunch of files (or even a single file) and it is in a zipped file, the first thing you need to do is to unpack. When you unpack the compressed file does not disappear. Once you have checked that you need out of compressed form file was safe to remove that file zipped as it is needlessly occupy space.

  Maintain the integrity of the data

  
  

  At least once a month, you should check your hard disk for errors by using two simple solutions.

  The first thing you'll do is a defragmentation of the hard drive. When you use data on your computer on a regular basis data gets fragmented throughout your entire hard drive. While you can see an MP3 file, your computer see pieces of this file that can be spread in the entire hard drive. You tell to defragment the hard drive the program to go find all the pieces and put them back together.  In making them together again and find this single file, you notice that specific file is significantly faster and other aspects of your computer can speed up.

  The next tool to use is a Check Disk. The disk check will focus on volumes of records and see if it finds problems, if that is the case he will try to fix it for you. Very hard to solve problems can be simplified by running a checking the disk for bad sectors, or the repaired lost clusters.

  These two programs are built into Windows and are ready for you to use.

  1. Click on my computer
  2. Right click on your hard drive (usually drive C), and then select Properties
  3. Click the Tools tab and you should see these options.

  Backup

  
  

  How important is your data? The most important that your data are for you more you save. Generally, once a month backup solution works for most people. However, all critical files should be backed up as regularly as you change them. There are many programs that enable to backup your data on a CD, jump drives or storage online. You should examine the different options and find the best fit.

  Windows updates

  
  

  Windows pushes updates on a regular basis. Check your settings in windows to check you are download and install these updates because they are coming. Critical updates for windows can save you any questions, you can finish by the experience.

  This Microsoft article explains in addition to detailed information on the Windows updates.

  Empty the trash

  When you delete something it is not spent for always in a trash can and left it there for a while before it auto deletions or you tell him to take it off forever. This is usually a really sure fall. You never know when you can accidentally delete something you really need, and you will find. Once a month if you should consider reviewing everything that is there and the removal of everything that you will ever need again.

  Everything so far has been clean the virtual computer. Next, let's look at what you can do to maintain the physical computer. Quarterly (every four months) you should consider bringing down your computer and clean it up.

  Own devices

  
  

  Everything you connect to your computer is a device. Your keyboard, mouse, printers, etc. are all devices. Disconnect your keyboard and mouse and clean them. The keyboard can be sprayed on with a can of air compressed and given a gentle wipe down with a cloth. If you have a mouse with a ball inside him which means that it is not optical, then the ball should be cleaned. Jump off the plate and drop the ball clean with little of isopropyl alcohol and remove any dried grease, oil or dust.

  Clean the screens

  The monitor can be dusted with a cloth and screens cleaned with a glass cleaner and a cloth.

  Clean tour

  The shell or the turn of the computer will also need to be cleaned. When you get to the back of the computer, look at the gills, they need special attention because the dust to accumulate and must be eliminated.

  Clean the inside of the Tower

  If you have a tower that opens, then it is important to clean the inside of the computer. Even if the computer is never opened before it will accumulate dust inside. With a can of compressed air to spray any dust or debris from the computer and clean the fan vents.

  Check your cables

  Even if you have the open computer inspect your connections loose cables must be firmly connected.

  Clean the surge protector

  For starters, if you are not using a surge protector can get a. A surge protector can save your investment if a power failure which causes a burst of electricity. If you already have a surge protector damaged's just as bad as not having surge for any damage protector check a. If the surge protector has exposed wiring, it must be replaced immediately. If the surge protector is working then it must always be cleaned to make sure that the sheets that you use to connect to your computer are free of dust and debris.

  You don't have to be an expert to do one of those simple things that can make sure that you have a computer that will last for a long time in computer science.

  If you are an experienced user and you have other tips you will find may help new users and users not so irritable ensuring what they see their computers up to date add a response to this post.

• Received the phone call from 'Computer Maintenance of Windows operating system', is it a scam?

  Original title: scam or not

  I just got the phone is off "Windows OS computer maintenance required", I went through the senario execution because I apparently files may contain a virus.  I got a number to call back and ask for Henry 02 80060075 apparently in Sydney.  I remembered and has a call center responded in the form of windows.  After going through several id checks which they knew my CLSID number but one of them that I take now is the same number for many people.  In any case I tell them I work for a COMPUTER company and would take my computer to work with them check.  The guy said that he did not believe I worked for a COMPUTER company, because I did not understand what they are trying to help me for a very small cost of AUD $110.  After a long debate and tell him, I thought it was a scam I hung up.

  So my question is: Windows to call Manila on a Saturday night at 5:30?

  It is a popular scam. Microsoft has no unsolicited phone calls. You should read the very first post on this forum.

• My computer keeps giving me the blue screen of death... even after that I reinstalled the operating system

  I have an emachines W3644... it came originally with windows xp family, but I currently have windows xp pro installed. It worked great for 4 months, no problems or anything. I got it sitting speakers... speakers were not connected or hung. I don't know if this could hit anything or not? My computer has 1.37 GB of RAM and the graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 405.

  Questions are... Well, he keeps just randomly bluescreening. There isn't really a reason as that why, I'm the only person using this desktop computer, and I really did something to do that. I have scanned with many different scanners, and they found simple things like false positives and tracking cookies, none of which is a big deal.

  I tried many things to fix this myself... but nothing has worked. I'm starting to wonder if it's something to do with the material?

  I tried many things... include system restore, using the last known settings who worked, and also something to do with the domain controllers, or whatever.

  No one has solved the problem. He continues to randomly bluescreen. Also, a few times I clicked on records and he told me that they were corrupt, and when I right click on them and click Properties, it says that this folder contains 0 bytes of data... when there is more than 1 GB of stuff in there. This is the folder where I put my icons of computer maintenance and other things in.

  Then I'll reboot it'll randomly blue screen while windows is loading, he'll also do to the logon screen and sometimes even after connection... sometimes I it will load everything very well and it'll be on the desktop and I will leave the room and return, and it will be on the blue screen.

  I'm not sure what to do at this point. I reinstalled windows... and he still bluescreens. I copied most of the error codes he gave me... If someone could tell me please what they mean, or be of any help that would be great. I tried a lot of things... even reinstall... and he still continues to bluescreen. I also unplugged then replugged... all that does not work either. I also tried in safe mode, even in safe mode it bluescreens, sometimes even during loading safe mode.

  Anyway... Let me just enumerate all the error messages I've written... Please look at and if you know what NONE of them speaks, please let me know. I just want to know what his question is... so I can hopefully do this fix, or at least get another or something.

  Here are the error codes I wrote last week.

  Thank you.

  If the RAM is only four months and you have identified that it is at the origin of the problems (e.g. the BSOD happen when only a single module of RAM is in) and then even after four months it can always happen.  Things such as ESD (Electro Static Discharge) or plug the RAM while it is still on the motherboard can cause these problems to happen... but they may or may not happen immediately.  The RAM could be faulty from the beginning, but has only gotten worse.  But unfortunately there is nothing that can make it work, if it is faulty, then it has to go back for a refund/replacement - as boring (and believe me, I know) that it is.

  0X000000BE normally concerns pilots in regards to the 0 x 00000050 - this normally either bad RAM, video memory, and bad devices (although not very likely) or bad memory Cache L2 (did not have a lot of people), but it can also be bad device driver software.

  I wish that the BSOD errors are actually more accurate as to describe what is at the root of the problem but they are not, and most of the time, it is by a process of elimination that we can solve the problems. However, I would say that if your original RAM works in the machine and you get only BSOD when the new RAM is in, then the new RAM is the culprit.

  Here's a little info on the RAM and it does: http://www.technologybasics.co.uk/WhatIsRAMAndWhatDoesItDo.html

• Windows 10 has been downloaded to my computer as a virus. What you want to put this on my laptop, like that, without me hitting a button.

  * Original title: Windows 10

  I was on my laptop when I get that annoying pop about 10 Windows and X is turned off. Today it pops up behind what I was watching and by chance I saw because 10 Windows has been downloaded to my computer as a virus. What you want to put this on my laptop, like that, without me hitting a button you never try and hack my laptop without my permission. If you want to explain 10 Windows it's good.

  It is a forum for peer-to-peer volunteers public World Wide web.

  Essentially, you missed (or simply press the 'X') the message you plan / cancel the upgrade.  It is more a case of 'you don't say no... " (that does not suck).

  Learn more about that here:

  http://www.PCWorld.com/article/3073457/Windows/how-Microsofts-nasty-new-Windows-10-pop-up-tricks-you-into-upgrading.html

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-windows_install/i-was-notified-that-my-PC-will-upgrade-to-Windows/7634fa03-6f4c-4008-b656-b91bcc8d5714

  Basically (with some variations) three ways to restore your computer to a previous operating system, once it has been upgraded to Windows 10...

  * Best method: restore using a full image backup of the system that you have created in your normal computer maintenance tasks.  If you do not do so during your normal maintenance, you should probably expand it once you get things in the State you want.  If you've done one, but still need help to apply it, just answer here and someone can / will surely help you.

  Possible next method: (with reservations as being less than 30 days since the upgrade, you having not done anything that would affect the three necessary directories to restore like disk cleanup or or using online media creation tool) use integrated Windows 10 to your previous operating system recoverability.  The following link will take you to a web page that explains this method pretty well and completely:
  http://www.CNET.com/how-to/Windows-10-how-to-roll-back/

  Possible next method: use your installation media/recovery media to restore the system to the factory settings and update/install other apps using their media and restore periodic backups / consistent personal and other data.  It is a CLEAN INSTALLATION (from scratch).

• Firefox is running at slightly less than 1 GB of storage. Is this normal?

  What is take resources?

  There are several factors that may affect use of the RAM. Time is up, Firefox Add-ons you have installed, age of your computer, the malicious software, if you have all the Windows updates and graphic updates driver installed, if you are using the latest plugins, etc. If it is not the cause of performance problems (IE. If firefox still works fine just using 1 GB of RAM) so it's not really a big deal (the firefox to RAM more can make the best use of it will happen, as long as it remains more RAM for the rest of the computer).

  You can try a few things to try to reduce the use of the RAM:

  • Firefox - modules to reset and refresh settings
  • Put up-to-date Windows (do this several times if necessary)
  • Update your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL
  • Fix Firefox problems caused by malicious software
  • https://www.Mozilla.org/pluginCheck/
  • Type about: memory in your address bar, press ENTER, and then "minimize memory usage.
  • Do basic computer maintenance (disk defragment, Dick check, etc.) to improve the overall performance of the computer.

• Recently affected by slow and crashes

  Recently - a week or so, I am experiencing extreme slowness and crashes. In addition, it seems the computer - an old, everything continues to run or looking for something, even if it seems that I'm on the website and there is no need to do that? This habit of not being a problem, but it is now. From a perspective of novices, it seems fair that the computer wants to keep it when he probably didn't need to? I keep getting two messages: Firefox does not - associated with the small hourglass and the script is unresponsive. Here is the message I get when things get slow and "refractory". I hope someone can help. I'm trying to catch up with the computer maintenance; disk and Defrag. But who makes no difference. I noticed recently that when I free up space on my hard drive, I continue to show that a lot of space can be cleared from normal? Thank you.

  Well, for starters, the version of Firefox you are using is very old, which means that it is a very slow version. I would do the following to try to speed it up:

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from www.getfirefox.com. Install it.
  2. After starting Firefox, install all Windows updates
  3. Update all of your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.
  4. The analysis of the malware. You can use tools such as MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware, TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility and Microsoft Security Essentials (a good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)

  Hello

  you are somewhat familiar with computers? If not, I suggest you bring your machine to a local service partner (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?subs=tais)
  If Yes, then firstly make a few hardwaretests. You can make them with tools like "Memtest86" for memory or "Prime95" for CPU and RAM.
  This software is on a windows live cd for computer-maintenance as the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) which contains a lot of useful tools and diagnostic programs.
  Here´s a link:
  www.UBCD4Win.com

  Other means can be:
  Clean the CPU fan, try to remove the RAM (maybe), maybe the power adapter is defective or maybe the battery.
  It s a little more difficult to find these things, but often it s really good to use this live-cd-system and check the system.

  So, try it (or not :)) and give some information about what happened, maybe to give more detailed information about the behavior of the machine.)

• Pavilion 15 p143cl ENERGYSTAR: laptop is not fully Hibernate, sleep and shutdown.

  Since I did something with my drivers, things are haywire. Here is a list of a few things I had problems with: sometimes when I use a voice such as Skype or discord application, sounds on my desk are picked up through my microphone even if I use a helmet, automatic my computer maintenance starts the most random times and it never seems to end and every time I have stop Hibernate, or put my computer to sleep, my screen turns off, but my fan, psychic power, and mouse to lighting are always on. the fan works as well, but it's at a speed slower and quieter. All my drivers are up to date, and therefore my BIOS. My guess is that the BIOS update may have caused things to go haywire in my computer. Can someone please help me solve this problem? I have to use to press the power button to do my computer turn off or go to sleep.

  Hello

  Not necessarily - I just noticed your reply.

  First, run some diagnostics as follows.

  Stop of the laptop.

  Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select the Menu of diagnosis ( f2 ) and run the tests on the hard drive and memory.

  If there are error codes generated, post back with details - if everything goes, try the 2 suugestions below.

  1. on some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

  You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

  Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

  Once done, open your downloads folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

  When finished, restart the laptop.

  2 it can also be a value to uninstall the current driver for Intel Smart technology, restart, then try the version directly from Intel on the link below.

• HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition: upgrade of the current HARD drive

  I have HP ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition laptop which currently has a 1 to 5400 RPM HARD drive. I'm looking to upgrade to SSD drive and need help with the following responses

  (1) the laptop does support more than 512 GB since the laptop computer maintenance document lists (and does not) support max 512 GB

  (2) any 2.5 SATA 3 SSD should work with the configuration given my laptop as long as its not more than 9.5 mm thick. Please confirm.

  I was chatting and asking for a response for the last month 1 HP support and I have not received a positive response. Forums suggest that capacity any no where like the cat and people on HP customer service gave the following answer.

  The manual list only up to 512 GB because that's all there was when the laptop was sold or just would not be a market for the 1 TB SSD. Not too long ago, they were $7-800 and beyond almost anyone means. But there is no reason that your laptop can not run a 1 TB SSD. Also, you are right. All SATA 2.5 inch wide SSD will work as long as it's not more than 9.5 mm thick. These days, almost all of them are 7 mm. I would recommend a Samsung 850 Evo but there are a lot of good ones out there. We had a set of trouble on the series MX Crucial reports, however.

• The risks of the use of registry cleaners

  Let me start by saying from the beginning using registry cleaners is a bad idea, and it is not recommended for the average user.

  Let's get into the details as to why you don't want to use a registry cleaner. Your computer registry is the brain. It is where your computer keeps its database of configuration settings and options.  When you have learned to walk your brain stored this information and kept in a sealed off the coast of the section of your brain, it's your computer. When your computer has learned how to run a particular program, it updates this information within the registry.

  Here's what looks like your registry database.

  

  Most of the time, it doesn't matter what are these different categories, we're not going to mess with them. This is just a general if you see this screen, so you know what you're watching.

  So what is a registry cleaner and why is it sometimes advisable to launch. A registry cleaner announces that it will enter into your registry and delete all files that are no longer needed. By removing these rogue registry files, your computer will be theoretically run faster and better.

  What are rogue registry files? When you uninstall a program, it should remove all traces of itself from your computer, including the registry files. Not all programs do correctly or even can do it properly. So when the program is uninstalled its existence can still live in your registry. To bring the analogy to your brain, if you have a traumatic event (in this case the traumatic event on your computer by uninstalling the program) your brain will help you forget, it happened, but it's still there. Even if you uninstall this program there are traces of it that still exist.

  Then uninstall a program is not really uninstall the program completely and there are programs that will remove these files why would I not do? It's simple, really, most registry programs will cause more problems than they solve. Registry cleaners are trying to identify programs and registry files is no longer, your computer needs and remove them which are very well if it is a 100% guarantee that it delete only what is really necessary should be deleted.

  The problem is that they do not guarantee that and some may eventually give false positives and accidentally delete registry files needed for your computer to act and function properly.

  You know the risks and can always wants to go with a registry program, there are some things you can do to protect yourself at least.

  1. Make sure that the program you are purchase or acquisition is from a reputable company
  2. Ensure that you have the latest version of the software for your operating system and the program is designed to work on your operating system
  3. Make sure that it backs up your registry database before you start to go through the deletion of all.

  Ensuring that you take at least measures to protect you when you run a registry cleaner that you find that you get good results. Most of the time but if you don't know then let it be. There are many other solutions available that can help you keep your computer running efficiently, personally, I would recommend this read computer maintenance and its importance, but I may be biased.

  If you have any questions or comments, I am open to hear them.

  1. If you have already run a registry cleaner and have problems, my recommendation is to do a system restore to a date before the execution of the program

  2. I won't give any recommendations on programs to use

• Need help with disc error and chkdsk/f?

  Hi, my name is Jennifer.  I am running Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 3 with a 74.4 GB HDD.  I'm working on for a few months, in order to correct an error on my hard drive.  I can't defragment because it tells me that chkdsk /f should be run.  When I try to run that, since a command line, it is said that he cannot work because the files are in use.  He asks then that if I want to run the next time I start my computer.  I enter Y for Yes.  When I restart, it does not appear that the chkdsk /f that I asked to execute the command line before rebooting tried to run.  I get no messages at all.  I see no file scroll on the screen.  I used chkdsk /f until I added the Service Pack 3.  It fixed my mistakes.  Now it doesn't work at all.

  I don't think that there is a serious mistake because computer Maintenance told me I have a healthy system.  I think that Windows XP I have an error due to a large number of power outages in my area, my computer was croustilleur on and outside.  Yes, I also have a surge protector.  I'm not having any problem other than my slow computer because I can't defragment.  I can't get Windows to fix the disk error, so I can defragment.

  Is it possible to get direct access to my hard drive (a command line to start) before loading Windows so that I can access the drive without interfering the files?  I rebooted a few times, press F8 and ask the computer to start with one command line.  All I got was a list of files with no possibility to enter or move up and down; no cursor.  There was no command line prompt.

  I chatted with Russell Pope to Microsoft response Tech.  He said to run sfc/scannow.  I did that more sfc /scanonce more sfc /scanboot.  My computer asked me to put the original in system installation disc.  I did, and all the original files of the system have been checked several times after several hours.  No problem, but I still have a disk error that prevents me from defragmenting.  How can I get a disk error when all the original system files are intact?

  I searched around Microsoft, but could not find a clear answer to my problem.  I worked on this for the last three days; non-stop.

  Is there anyone out there who can help me?  I'd appreciate a lot!

  You're right (the same effect).

  You can also do it in (gpedit.msc) Group Policy Editor, but since there are no GPE with XP Home, you will not get away with this idea (engineers of Microsoft Support - be careful).

  Secpol.msc works on XP Home?  I don't think, but maybe someone will check it out and tell me if I can be sure.

  As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we often have no idea that taste of XP someone is running.

  We could lose a round of messages asking the supplementary question, or suggest Run gpedit or secpol only to come back and say it does not waste another cycle of message, or you can simply edit the registry and it will still work 100% of the time any flavour of XP is installed.

  I also like to know where things are located in the registry, because when the system boots simply cannot, they cannot cross the administrator part in the Recovery Console because they do not know the password, so I can get it to boot on a third-party tool like Hiren Boot CD that has a remote registry Edit feature, edit the registry on the afflicted system here and make the necessary adjustments so that they can find the RC - works every time!

  Here's an another small blurb on this subject:
