explaining hibernate vs closed for the computer illiterate

A relative of mine who is computer illiterate asked why she cannot use hibernate all the time instead of shutdown down, as the computer starts much faster. She seemed to have trouble "getting" the explanation of exactly what does each of them, so I tried this explanation. Is it specific enough for someone who can barely send an email or type one letter and often needs help in web forms?

[QUOTE] At the time where you were working, you remember how at the end of the day you had to clear your desk so the janitor could clean it up? Still occasionally you would leave a project on the desk and the concierge would not be able to clean it because of stuff on him. With the help of hibernation is like leaving all your stuff on the desktop. He is allowed to do once or twice, but if you do all the time the system will get dirty and dirt will gum work. Using of closing down, it's like compensation on your desktop if the concierge can clean it up. You want to use shut down regularly to prevent the accumulation of dirt on the computer. [/ QUOTE]

It's a pretty good explanation for someone computer illiterate and I believe that voluntarily ignorant or is there a better?

Oh, and I am aware that Windows 7 is much better on does not need to be restarted as often as Windows 95, but it's always a good idea.

Looks like a good enough explanation for me.

    Activation of hardware assisted virtualization is in the BIOS of your motherboard. How depends on the BIOS and the hardware you have.

  • How to delete list of name for the computer images tags

    How can I remove the list of the names of tags for the photos to the computer. Cannot remove the

    It is possible that the change of name the Windows Photo Gallery
    database file could accomplish the task.

    (depending on your version of Windows Photo Gallery
    the database could be Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6.)

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

    The database is a file... you will need to
    Change the following setting:

    Reach... Control Panel / folder Options / View tab.
    ... To check "Show the hidden files and folders" / apply / OK.

    The file ends with a advanced
    Search for pd4 pd5 and pd6.

    Reach... Start / Search / Advanced search.

    Check the box... "include not indexed, hidden and"
    system files' Enter pd4 pd5 or pd6 in the name field

    Try to rename the file .pd4, pd5 or pd6 to Pictures.OLD

    The next time that the Gallery is launched, it will create
    a new database file and the gallery will appear as
    He did the first time you have ever opened.

    The gallery must fill in again and some tags
    and metadata can be lost.

    If you are not satisfied with the results... you can delete
    the new database file. If you rename the original back
    Pictures.pd4, pd5 pd6 your gallery should be like
    It was before the change.

    Good luck...

  • continues to fall sharply the internet connection for the computer but the xbox is not yet

    If the computer is on and I walk for an hour or two, when I come back, the internet connection went only to the computer.

    Xbox live still works fine.  So, I have to unplug the router, then plug back in and then try again to connect.  Usually it works fine then.

    But he's so old when you do this several times a day. Help!.  Does anyone know what is the problem?  I don't know what else to try.

    Thank you!

    As you mentioned that your XBOX works perfectly well and you face the problem only on your computer, this means that your Linksys also works very well, it has something to do with the computer itself. Also after some time you made the day before computers and when you resume your computer, that in view of the time, you dosent computer to communicate with your router and that is why you are not able to go online from your computer.

    Here are a few parameters that you can try on your computer, I think that might solve the problem...

    Win XP: Click the Start button > go to RUN > type in "ncpa.cpl" - hit OK > right-click on icon "' connection to the Local network'" and select properties-here click on "Set" jaspal-click on a button on the "Advanced" tab-In 'property' box, point, highlight link speed and duplex/network/type or Media type connection - and here (network connections)
    the 'Value' box select 10 MB/s half duplex / 10 half mode base T/10 basic and click OK.

    Vista: Click the Start button > Panel > network and Sharing Center-click view the status of the Local Area Connection - click on continue click on the properties below-click on a button on the button Configure click on the tab 'Advanced' - in the area of 'Property' highlight link speed and duplex/connection network/type or type of media - and in the 'value' box select 10 MB/s half duplex / 10 half mode base T/10 basic and click on OK.

    If it dosent always works, so I think you need to update the drivers for your NIC, once you update, it will not solve the problem.
