Computer Maintenance

I do not recommend you buy and try to use refilled cartridges.

System maintence could mean anything from updating or upgrading your computer to checking for viruses and defragging your computer.

Service packs generally make the operating system more reliable. Sometimes if you are already having problems caused by corrupt system files or corrupt registry entries, installing (or reinstalling) the latest service pack may fix a lot of that.

Usually two cables total. Such as the SATA Cable and the power cable.

As for how many wires are in those cables, it would depends on the connection. Such as IDE have 40 wires. Power cables are usually four pin. It all depends.

Key guard is a simple silicon or plastic type mat with glue which you can stick on your keyboard and it will protect your key from water, dust etc. But generally if you don't have one key guard for your key board then it's also alright.

Desktop : standard PCI slot, usb dongle, and NOW there are PCI-E 1x cards

Laptop : PCMCIA slot, usb dongle, or built in :D

That is an ink cartridge, not a printer.

Causes for Computer Hang-Ups 1. If an older program suddenly stops working properly after you install a new program, try reinstalling the older program, which may have had some of its files overwritten by the new one. 2. If your computer crashes after you install a new program, when both it and an older program are running, check with the publishers of the programs to see if there are updates that address the conflict. 3. If you've installed a new program and start getting crashes that don't seem to be related to running any other program, try uninstalling the new program. (See How to Remove a Windows Program.) If crashes continue, reinstall the operating system.

Unnecessary process hangs up There could be two main reasons: either your computer is infected with the virus or your computer might be running some unnecessary background process. For virus you can use the the anti-virus software and for second reason if are using windows, try task manager go to process and try to trace out the unnecessary processes, see for the process under the user's name and don't end the critical process. This have worked for me. for eg, when you run internet explorer use it for sometime and then quit, the program does not actually switches off but goes off to the background, occupying your computer memory and this is out of your notice. when you run few of such programs and quit, then a bundle of unnecessary process takes up your computer's memory and process and thus it makes ur computer hang. Virus also do run unnecessary process...

There is a simple way to make your PC talk during Start Up & Shutsdown like a human.But for a Robotic Sound you may need a special sotware to do it.But for now,we only use the built in software on Windows XP.First you need to record your voice using Sound Recorder built in Windows XP.There you can record your own voice whatever you wanted it,then SAVE it as WAV file.Then go to Start/controlpanel then double cliick on Sound & Device Icon,then click on Sound Tab,then browse on the Program Events,there click on Start Navigation,browse on pop up table & click on Windows start up,you may play its default to hear how it was sound like. Or there Click Browse,locate the the sound File you created before,then open it,& click play if its alright,then Click APPLY.And that's it,everytime you Start-up you may hear the recorded sound you made,Same Procedures apply on how to set up PC talk during Shuts down,also for all the rest of Windows Events you wanted to modify its sound.

== == You have a problem. In my experience I have come to notice similarities between programs. One of those is that a malware detection just doesn't show up out of the blue if it is legitimate. So you have either adware or spyware in your system. So I am going to give you a link that will allow you to download very useful software called Windows live onecare. The link is http://onecare.live.com/standard/en-us/3/communications/trytoday.htm You need to run these 5 essential steps to remove all the spyware on your computer.

1. Run Deckard's System Scanner (DSS)

2. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

3. Run the anti spyware removal programs spybot

4 Run Superantispyware

5. Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt!

Install threat fire which will enhance your antivirus protection Depends on where the waring message is coming from. If the pop-up is coming from your AntiSpyware software that you have installed on your computer, then just run your program and let it remove anything it finds. If however, it is a pop-up not associated with your program, you have spy-ware installed on your system. Disconnect from the INTERNET and run your AntiSpyware program to remove it. If you do not have antiSpyware software installed, then I suggest you download Adaware SE and run it. Go to www.download.com and get Adaware SE. Other good free ones are Microsoft Antispyware and Spybot Search & Destroy.

A PC technician would use a variety of tools. Screwdrivers would be the main tools. Other tools would include needle nose pliers, screw grabbers, forceps, and anti-static protection devices. Sometimes tools for special types of screws are needed, and this could include Allen wrenches, torx/star tools, and security wrenches.

While working inside the PC, they might use additional things such as PC duster spray, air compressor, chip pullers, and heat sink compound. If they must work inside the power supply, they might use a soldering iron.

There are 2 ways: System Restore & System Recovery. Maybe your definition of a factory reboot is when you first purchased the computer, if this is the case, a System Recovery is a factory reboot because it comes with all the original software. Any added software and files WILL be erased.

no. protected mode runs the software in a "sand box" where nothing should be able to go wrong.

16-bit mode runs the program using 16-bit instead of 32-bit, for compatability.

Go on the HP website and read the instructions found there.

Vista is just a version of Windows; the version after Windows XP and before Windows 7. If a machine is Vista-ready or Vista-compatible, it just means that the hardware and available drivers are compatible with Windows Vista. You might be able to run that PC on Windows 7 or 8, but it depends, and you would have to check with the manufacturer to find out what all it is compatible with.

The BIOS a mini computer program that tells your computer how to start up. In order to modify the BIOS as your computer is starting up you should see a screen flash for a couple seconds telling you to push a button like F1 or F2 to enter setup. Push the button it requests to modify the BIOS.

It just deletes the history of the fact the virus was on your system.

It appears that its sporting the Nvidia ION GPU Chipset. :)

ATK 0110, the ATK0110 ACPI UTILITY (also referenced as MTsensor with MT probably meaning motherboard thermal), is a virtual device built into most Asus motherboards that is used (apparently only) by Asus software, mainly their AiBooster, AI Suite, and PC Probe II monitoring and overclocking utilities. For normal operation of Windows, this device is not necessary at all. If you do not use any software from Asus, then it is recommended to not install the driver for it (since it is quite old now), disable it in Device Manager, and hide any update for it at Windows Update. (If the driver is already installed, there should be no issues with it, but you can uninstall it using Device Manager just fine in order to save memory and CPU resources.)

There is no answer to this question.

Presumably, you mean your browser cache since the CPU caches are flushed automatically and are not under user control. The main reasons you would clear the browser cache would be for privacy, fixing malfunctioning websites or online applications, general PC maintenance, to reclaim space, or to make defragmentation and malware scanning complete faster.

Most of the time, you can safely leave your browser cache alone. Now if you are doing things you don't want others to know you are doing, you might delete the caches, temp files, history, and so on. However, that only helps in terms of living situations. If you commit crimes, the police can not only recover a lot of what you delete, but they can also get your Internet activity from your ISP and the sites you use. So while clearing such data can help in terms of your spouse, lover, coworkers, or boss, it won't help you get by with actual criminal activity.

Depends on the computer, some use F1, F2, DEL, ESC. When your first turn the computer on at the logo, you should see something somewhere either at the top or bottom of the screen saying press "what ever button" to enter setup..or something along those lines

1. Make sure that the WiFi can be detected by other devices

2. Make sure that your WiFi Chip is active. There will sometimes be a manual switch or a key combo you must press to toggle it. Also make sure that it is listed as "Enabled" under Network devices in Control Panel. If it is "Disabled," right-click on it and select "Enable"

3. Update your drivers. You can pay for a program to do this, or use a free one like Driver Booster. You can also use the free version of Driver Magician to find what driver you need. You can then search for it online. DO NOT get an "auto-detecting" package or "Driver pack" unless it is from the actual hardware provider.

If all else fails,

4. Get a new chip. You may be able to get an internal chip to replace your current one. This should be able to connect to the pair of internal WiFi antenna wires which connect to your old one. You can also get a USB chip (some are so small you will hardly notice they are even there) or, if your computer supports it you can get a PCMCI card (for a desktop computer, a PCI card) which may offer better speed or reception.
