Your computer is running very slow takes several minutes to open most of the pages on the internet if they open at all you have run all the antivirus and spyware and have rebooted the hardrive?

A slow running computer is the result of two things. Hardware or software or both. Hardware: If you computer is less than any of the following you will be slow on the internet. CPU 800MHZ, RAM memory 256MB, 500MB free hard drive space, 56K modem. If you do meet these, it is time for and upgrade or replacement. DSL modem and service is the most economical option for most folks to get off the dial up modem and increase their speed. Software: This is where things get gunked up and a little trickier. So I'll break it down to: Operating system, Antivirus and spyware programs, internet browser, loaded programs, internet provider software. Operating system: Linux, is the most efficiant but is not the easiest or most compatible OS choice for The average joe PC user. Windows XP and 2000 are What the majority are using. Antivirus and spyware: Norton and Mcafee antivirus are the top sellers and do a great job but they also slow down a computer in a big way. My antivirus of choice this year is computer associates etrust antivirus. Spyware programs are numerous. A very large amount of them are bogus. The best one i have used for several years now is Lavasofts Adaware. Internet browsers: Microsoft internet explorer(MSIE) is the most wideky used browser. It does a good job but is prone to a lot of pop up ads. Avoid adding pop up blockers and internet toolbars whenever possible(Google toolbar and blocker are okay so far). If you have them uninstall them. A second browser option is available and it is called Mozilla firefox. Loaded Programs: These are all the programs running in the background sucking up your memory and CPU usage. Stop them from loading by clicking- start-run-type "msconfig" no quotes-click startup- unselect whatever.

Can a computer have two operating systems?
Yes, Windows and Linux can be on the same machine. You have to look at Linux FAQ's to determine which to install first as I don't remember. The point is that it isn't difficult and it isn't crazy. To switch the machine has to be rebooted. There was an effort to have an emulator under Linux (e.g. WINE) to run a windows session in a Linux window. I don't know the status but you take a performance hit There are commercial products for running different OS's from within Windows, do a google search. These are availablke for the MacOS as well The latest versiuon of OSX is claimed to be able to run windows as a built in feature. Go to apple.com to find out good luck
What is the best way to merge partitions on your hard drive?
One of the safest ways is to purchase a software program, e.g. Partition Magic, which can do this without destroying any of the data that may be on the partitions.Better wayThe safest way is to backup all your data. format HD and repartition with fdisk. Then install your programs and restore the data.Although there are many programs to partition HD without lose data, nobody will recommend use them without backup your data. And if you backup all your data why not format your HD and reinstall programs - that way all your programs will run faster. If you don't have the time to reinstall or the original programs discs, You still must backup all your critical data, and this exist in many places on your HD, not just in "My Documents" folder, like Outlook data. So be care and lot of luck.---- In Linux: After MUCH frustration, digging, trial-and-error, I have answered my own question.My problem, as you may recall, was that I could not delete or resize two "unallocated partitions on my hard drive. All the options (unmount, resize, delete, etc.) were grayed out. I could not unmount them because they were in use.The answer was to download the GParted LIVE CD from: http://gparted.sourceforge.net.I simply inserted the GParted LIVE CD, rebooted, and -- voila! -- I could move, resize, and delete all my partitions at will! IMHO, the GParted utility is much easier to use then Partition Magic, and best of all, it is FREE!I hope this post can help others with a similar problem.lwcary----
Difference between semantic error and logical errors?
Syntax Error: error due to missing colon, semicolon, parenthesis, etc. Syntax is the way in which we construct sentences by following principles and rules. Example: In C++, it would be a syntax error to say int x = "five"; This will not compile because it does not follow the syntax of the language and does not make any sense to the compiler. Semantic Error: it is a logical error. it is due to wrong logical statements. Semantics is the interpretations of and meanings derived from the sentence transmission and understanding of the message. Semantics errors are Logical, while Syntax errors are code errors. Example: A semantic error would compile, but be incorrect logically: const int pi = 12345; Your program will likely compile and run without error but your results will be incorrect. (Note that these types of errors are usually much harder to debug)

Why would unplugging and then reconnecting a LAN to a DSL modem make an Internet connection work again?
It's not that it makes the Internet respond, it makes your DSL modem respond. Occasionally DSL and Cable modems will become unresponsive for whatever reason. Disconnecting and reconnting the Internet connection cable is one way to "wake up" the modem. Often that doesn't work and you have to reboot the computer or power-cycle the modem. Annoying but sometimes necessary. The way my ISP, who gave me my DSL modem to use, explained it is that, like a computer, every now and then, the modem just needs to be reset or rebooted, much like your computer
What happens if you never rebooted windows?
If you never rebooted Windows then you don't really need to worry about it unless your computer doesn't load Windows correctly. You could always look up online how to reboot Windows because the process may be a little different depending on the version of Windows that you currently have.
