Computer Maintenance

You open two My Computer windows and make them small. Next, you go to your c drive in one to where the file is. In the other one go to the e drive where you want to copy the file to. click the file and hold down the left mouse button. Drag the file to your other window and drop it in the e drive.

The reason for this error is an incomplete upgrade to Real Player. When the program is uninstalled & reinstalled, the error disappears.

If you starting getting this error after attempting to install a new application or upgrade an existing one, try the following:

(1) Uninstall the application from Control Panel / Add or Remove Progams.

(2) If unable to do so from there, find the folders related to the application (do a search or check the Program Files folder) using Windows Explorer, and delete them.

(3) Reinstall the application. Make sure no other applications are running during the install. Check for a confirmation message that the program was installed successfully.

(4) Reboot computer.

(5) Attempt to reopen application. Hopefully error statement will disappear.

Another potential fix is to search the Internet for "MSVCR71.dll". You will find Websites that allow you to download this file for free.

You can disable safe mode with an application such as NoSafeMode (http://guino.home.insightbb.com/nosafemode.html).

You can add a BIOS password to prevent people from messing with the computer's settings.

You can prevent Deletion of files using of user security options present on the most recent windows versions, or also by security applications such as Fortress, etc.

no I'm pretty sure that it's the drive that saves all your work and that has all of your file

What is the file, is the primary information :D

In order to move your taskbar to different sides of the screen, first right-click on the task bar and click "Lock the Taskbar". By default, Windows will automatically lock the taskbar in place to prevent it from accidentally being dragged. Next click and drag it in the direction that you want. When you have it positioned, right click and select "Lock the Taskbar" to keep it where you have it set.

Make a batch file.

Open up notepad, type in the commands just like you would if you had a C:\prompt and choose "save as." When you save it, remove the .txt extension & use .bat instead.

Batch files can be executed just like an .exe, any commands in the batch file are put to a command prompt & executed. So just put the batch file (or a shortcut to it) in programs/startup in your start menu & youre done!

A jumper is a small metal and plastic device used to complete circuits on the motherboard by 'shorting' pins. The BIOS reset jumper is one example.

Bootmgr is installed by default onto your system.

Once you create a bootable partition on your hard drive, you should be given the option right there to enable it.

To fix it, simply find your iTunes folder (located in My Documents > My Music, in my case), right click the folder's icon and choose 'Properties'. From here, click 'Advanced' and make sure that Fast indexing is switched off for the folder. Also, make sure that in the main properties dialog box, 'Read only' is completely unchecked.

Post, loading the OS, the OS initializing itself, and loading and executing an application. D"MF"J The boot process: 1. The CPU activates the basic input/output system (BIOS) (pronounced "bye-OSE"). BIOS is the program that manages the data between the operating system and all the input and output devices attached to the system, hence its name. BIOS is also responsible for loading the OS from its permanent location on the hard drive into RAM. 2. BIOS conducts a power-on self-test (POST) to check that all attached devices are in place and in working order. 3. BIOS loads the operating system from the hard drive to RAM. 4. The registry is checked for futher configurations and customizations. If everything has checked out and is loaded properly, the destop appears on the monitor, and the system is ready to accept your first command.

If you are talking about a PC, the PC may be running some processes in Command Prompt to set up your account. If it is doing this every time you log in to that account, that is not normal.

When the get old, that just happens, and I don't know of any way to fix it permanently.

I know this sounds terrible, but the only way I can get them to brighten for a while is to whack (not to hard) the top or right side of the CRT.

***DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!*** (and the crt's)

Depending on the issues encountered, and disk speed, it may take many hours.

software is the mind that tells the mechanical parts which are the hardware on how to proceed and perform.

A system unit, also known as a S.U., is the main unit of a personal computer, typically consisting of a metal or plastic enclosure containing the motherboard, power supply, cooling fans, internal disk drives, and the memory modules and expansion cards that are plugged into the motherboard.

A common cause for shutdowns is the CPU overheating. Check the fan to make sure it isn't spinning slow or seized, and that there is no dust in the heat sink. You can also check that the heat sink compound (the paste between the fan and heatsink) hasn't broken down.

Or your power supply could be going bad. It gets hot and then shuts down. It might also be a bad power supply fan, that is the power supply might not be getting hot because of a problem with the power supply but because the fan isn't cooling it properly.

Also, check for bad capacitors on your motherboard. Capacitors are small, cylinder-like things with an aluminum top, with some type of molding or lines on the aluminum. There are many ways to find out if you have bad capacitors:

1. A brown, crusty substance on the capacitor or motherboard

2. The capacitor is swelling

3. The capacitor "venting"

4. Signs of overheating

5. A pop, with a hiss after it coming from your computer, or even a small explosion

6. Capacitor blows off its casing

If any of these symptoms appear, repair the motherboard ASAP. Power supplies also have some capacitors, but it is strongly recommended to avoid these unless you discharge them first because they can still have a charge in them, which could be deadly.

Is there any type of console that I can watch Windows' activity? My pc randomly freezes and I want to pinpoint what is happening when it occurs. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

First you go into device manager and roll back the driver

Windows have several features, including:

Disk defragmenter - A program used in windows designed to increase the speed of the hard drive by rearranging files stored on a disk.

Mspaint - A painting program you can use to paint drawings and edit images.

Windows movie maker - A program you can use to make and edit movie files.

It is Singapore brand, but made in China

This depends on the kind of BIOS protection, and the other BIOS settings. The BIOS is not actually on the harddrive, so this is potentially possible.

If the BIOS is only protected from changes to it's settings, then you can try booting to removable media (CD, DVD, Flashdrive, etc.) which has the option to format a drive, and format it from there. OS install disks usually have this option, as well as boot disks like UBCD and Bart PE.

If the BIOS is protecting the system from booting up, then you will probably need to remove the harddrive and plug it into another computer to complete this task. There should be no password prompt once it is in the other computer.

IF the BIOS protection is locking the actual harddrive, then you will probably need to clear the password first. If you do not know the password, then you will need to try to break in (assuming is is actually your computer). This can be difficult, but there are programs which can make it easier. One such program is on the UBCD.

Check the battery. After that check for a poorly grounded motherboard. This is a possibility especially if it was home built.

If you are talking about a website, some are free like freewebs.com others can cost about 3 bucks a month Most web-hosting is free as the person above said, but the only cost would be for the domain. You can buy a domain or rent one. If you use a sub-domain, it usually is free, as it is not a .com , .org , .net with what you want but example.bravehost.com .
