Ever wondered where one uses resources of your PC?

If you have ever wondered where one uses resources of your laptop you should take a look at the "resource monitor" in Windows.  It will give you a break down of the applications and services are using your CPU, RAM, hard disk and network resources. This can be particularly useful if you notice your computer running slowly.

This article from PC World goes in depth on how to use the resource monitor.

I hope you find it useful and have an amazing day!

    Errors and warnings in the event logs are not usually a sign of a major problem.

    Unfortunately, there are many technical support providers who refer clients to the event log in order to convince them to pay for questionable services.

    Use of cleaners and Tune up utilities is not recommended. They can often cause problems.

    Use the construct in Windows utilities

    http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/optimize.aspx

    Ensure that all remote access program is deleted from your computer.

    Use a search engine to find information on all the events that occur frequently, specifying the event id and source, for example search for "eventid 512 capi2. Try to avoid scam sites that are always asked by this kind of research. Stick to sites of Microsoft or somewhere like www.eventid.net which is a good source of free information.

  • How and where to use Java script to create a new button in the page of detail of the object

    Hi all

    I want to create "New/Add button" in the page of detail of the object. If I'm not mistaken I need to use the java script for this, but could you please let me know how and where to use Java script to create a new button in the page of detail of the CRMOD object.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    Manish

    Any related object on the details of the page should have an 'Add' or 'New' or the two default buttons - it of a vanilla feature and will do the required action.

    If you want to change this behavior and do something delicate you will potentially have to to go for javascript. You must add the javascript code in a web custom tab on this object.

    Admin--> Application Customization--> Contact--> Applet Web Contact

    Now add your javascript in the code box, after selecting the type = HTML for this web applet, expose this web applet on the Contact details page layout and your javascript will be called every time this page is loaded.

    Check this document online to see how javascript can be integrated into the CRM on demand http://helponmyproject.com/TTOCOD/
