How often you run antivirus software depends on how much time you are on the web and the number of "unknown" sites you visit. I normally am on the web 2-3 hrs a day and visit the same websites on a daily basis and have my antivirus software set to automatically scan once a week.

Under normal circumstances, this should appear only when you are installing a new piece of hardware. The wizard itself explains how it will help you. You should have available the driver software for the hardware you are trying to install.

A smart card have an IC chip which can process the data and all other element that a computer have.

In short , Smart card is a computer which have little different ways of getting INPUT and giving OUTPUT .So ,working of smart card is the same as that of a computer,

The main circuit board of the computer is the motherboard.

The maximum speed of USB2 at 480M/Sec is a little quicker than Firewire 400 (IEEE.1394a) which runs at 400 M/Sec (hence the "400" bit of the name). In tests, however, FireWire 400 delivers a higher sustained transfer speed. Benchmarks suggest that hard drives connected with FireWire will copy information considerably faster than they would using USB 2.0. To achieve higher performance, FireWire requires additional circuitry in supported devices. This often makes FireWire more expensive than USB 2.0. Firewire 800 (IEEE.1394b) as the names suggests, has a peak speed of almost 800 M/Sec. Used primarily by PC musicians for recording and transferring multichannel audio at high sample rates and for digital video cameras and decks

a web server is usally rack mounted and is very powerful where as a desktop PC can be set up as a server PC desktop PC's are suited to raphival applctaions and many servers don't have sreens

A server is a repository of information and a gateway to other sources of information (e.g. the internet). Depending on the number of workstations it serves and the type of information they are accessing the server may be quite powerful or it may be an old P4 system made into a server. Again, its main job is to store information so that the connected workstations can use it and to provide a gateway to other sources of information namely the Internet. The software used for servers is specifically designed for those tasks. An example of a simple server is a modern router - either wireless or wired. It contains its own server software, typically a form of Linux, and acts as a gateway to the internet allowing connected workstations to access it. It also provides some protection in the form of firewalls and passwords.

As a 'word', it is actually the first six characters of the common typewriter (now computers, too) keyboard; QWERTY... when reading from the top-left, and to the right.

Truthfully I believe that qwerty could actually mean something. Maybe strange, or weird or something like that. -Taco

Usually just plug the flash drive into the computer. A flash drive is a Plug-and-Play device, meaning you can plug the device into the computer and the computer will detect the device without having to reboot.

The hardware unit that contains the CPU, the RAM, a hard disk, and a power supply is called the "motherboard."

It uses binary to create pixels. There are three parts to a pixel; the X coordinate, the Y coordinate, and the color. There is a sort of grid system. The X and Y coordinates tell the monitor where to place the pixel, while the color tells it what color to change it to. The combination of all the millions of pixels creates a picture on-screen.

c: is that partition of ur harddisk from where ur system boots and d drive is any other partition.

drive is the partition on your hard disk - c:, d: etc are examples. softwares & files are stored in directories which are stored inside the drives of a hard disk.

the hard disk is physical, partitions / drives as they are commonly called are virtual bifurcations on your physical drive, where softwares of files are stored in directories for ease of access to particular information.

A processor, or CPU, controls the functions of most electronic products. A CPU accepts input data, processes data, and sends data to whatever component it belongs to.

Crossword answer? I think it's a Personal Computer

Assuming a usual PC, running Windows (NT5+), I think the easiest method would be to look at the device manager.

On your desktop, right-click and select properties on the "my computer" icon.

Click on the "device manager" tab.

Now you will see all of the devices known to the computer.

Click on the "Network adapters" link ands see what's there. If you have an installed Bluetooth adapter, it should be listed. If not, then you need to "install" it.

Usually Windows (from 98SE on up), will autodetect any new hardware and attempt to install any needed drivers.

Typically, if it cannot find a driver, it will ask you where to look; the choices being your CD, Microsoft's online server, or any other place on your system.

If you have Windows XP, it typically has all the basic drivers you need but might prompt you to insert the Original XP install CD which should haVe been provided with your system. If not, then it should look online to Microsoft's servers and try to find a driver, but you need an active internet connection for that.

If you don't see a Bluetooth adapter in the Device Manager, then you need to know if you actually have one physically installed in the system. Fundamentally, you will need to know physically what hardware you have installed anyway. There are both Bluetooth adapters which either are plug-in cards, or simple USB devices which would simply plug-in externally. Again, any USB device should be auto-detected by Windows XP, and typically by Linux.

Again, assuming Win 98se, or Win Xp or Vista, it should find any hardware installed that it did not already know about.

If instead you are using Linux, while there are numerous "distros

If you have Win98,

No , it only copies the document to print.

It's not a simple pin-to-pin connection, I'm afraid. An RS232 Converter chip is needed, along with some other components and soldering skills, to make it work. Here's a link:

That's an article (in PDF format) that tells you all about it.

Accumulator or A register is an 8-bit register used for arithmetic, logic, I/O and load/store operations. Flag is an 8-bit register containing 5 1-bit flags: * Sign - set if the most significant bit of the result is set. * Zero - set if the result is zero. * Auxiliary carry - set if there was a carry out from bit 3 to bit 4 of the result. * Parity - set if the parity (the number of set bits in the result) is even. * Carry - set if there was a carry during addition, or borrow during subtraction/comparison. General registers: * 8-bit B and 8-bit C registers can be used as one 16-bit BC register pair. When used as a pair the C register contains low-order byte. Some instructions may use BC register as a data pointer. * 8-bit D and 8-bit E registers can be used as one 16-bit DE register pair. When used as a pair the E register contains low-order byte. Some instructions may use DE register as a data pointer. * 8-bit H and 8-bit L registers can be used as one 16-bit HL register pair. When used as a pair the L register contains low-order byte. HL register usually contains a data pointer used to reference memory addresses. Stack pointer is a 16 bit register. This register is always incremented/decremented by 2. Program counter is a 16-bit register.
