Is window live better than Windows 7?

As modern operating systems are such large pieces of software, it's very difficult to say one is "better" than another. However, Windows 8 has a number of advantages; it consumes less resources - and so PCs run faster, it boots much more quickly, Explorer, File copying and task management have been greatly improved, the introduction of the "modern" Windows user interface has greatly improved support for touch screen devices.

On the other hand, shutting down Windows 8 is slightly more awkward - the shutdown button is more deeply "hidden" - and, if users were used to using the "Start" menu, that's quite different as it's been replaced by the Windows Start screen.

How many different versions of the Windows Vista are there?

Answer

Microsoft has taken two parallel routes in Operating Systems. One route has been the home user and the other has been the professional IT user. The dual route has generally led to the home versions with more "eye candy" and less functionality in networking and security and professional versions with less "eye candy" and better networking and security.

The first independent version of Microsoft Windows, version 1.0, released in November, 1985, lacked a degree of functionality and achieved little popularity. Windows 1.0 did not provide a complete operating system; rather, it extended MS-DOS. Microsoft Windows version 2.0 was released in November, 1987 and was slightly more popular than its predecessor. Windows 2.03 (release date January 1988) had changed the OS from tiled windows to overlapping windows. The result of this change led to Apple Computer filing a suit against Microsoft alleging infringement on Apple's copyrights.

Microsoft Windows version 3.0, released in 1990, was the first Microsoft Windows version to achieve broad commercial success, selling 2 million copies in the first six months. It featured improvements to the user interface and to multitasking capabilities. In August 1995, Microsoft released Windows 95, which made further changes to the user interface and was the first Windows version to utilize multitasking.

In July 1993, Microsoft released Windows NT based on IBM OS/2 technology (which Microsoft had been co-developing for several years prior). NT was considered to be the professional OS. NT and the Windows non-professional line would later be fused together to create Windows XP.

The next in line was Microsoft Windows 98 released in June, 1998. Substantially criticized for its slowness compared with Windows 95, many of its basic problems were later rectified with the release of Windows 98 Second Edition in 1999.

As part of its professional line, Microsoft released Windows 2000 in February 2000. The consumer version following Windows 98 was Windows Me (Windows Millennium Edition). Released in September, 2000, Windows Me attempted to implement a number of new technologies for Microsoft: most notably publicized was "Universal Plug and Play." However, the OS was substantially criticized for its lack of compatibility and stability.

In October 2001, Microsoft released Windows XP, a version built on the Windows NT kernel that also retained the consumer-oriented usability of Windows 95 and its successors. It shipped in two distinct editions, "Home" and "Professional", the former lacking many of the superior security and networking features of the Professional edition. Additionally, the "Media Center" edition was released in 2003, with an emphasis on support for DVD and TV functionality including program recording and a remote control.

In April 2003, Windows Server 2003 was introduced, replacing the Windows 2000 line of server products with a number of new features and a strong focus on security; this was followed in December 2005 by Windows Server 2003 R2.

Windows Server "Longhorn" is the successor of Windows Server 2003 is currently under development but Windows Vista had replaced Windows XP in January 31,2007 even though some reviewers recommend NOT to use Vista until end of 2007 for its Windows Vista SP1 release as well as certain compatibility issues (Yes, Games also a problem in Vista).Worse, when Vista requires a recommended RAM of 1GB, some of them even predicted that this is as good as " commit suicide" because more people wanted to quit Windows. Also, Bill Gates had announced to make a release of Windows Vienna, that may replace Vista on 2009 to 2012 (Dates are not clear at the point of 2007 April) For Windows Vista, there are Home Basic (With the least function in all Vista edition only some of the security features without Aero Interface), Home Premium (Most Function for Home User, Like Media Centre Edition with Aero Interface, Nice.), Business (I think home user cannot get it unless buying a laptop that is preloaded it) and Ultimate (The most function in Vista, Combine the Home Prenium which does not have some Business Features and Business Features, All in one.)

and windows 7 wich is coming out sometime in 2009

How do you share a folder with password protection with Windows XP?

Set up in security settings of folder only your account, in this way you will be able to open your folder(s).

At first you have to set a password on your Windows account, then you can encrypt the folder by using Encrypting File System.

To set a password on your Windows account, click the Start button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen and select Control Panel > User Account. If there is only one account on your computer, create a guest account for other users who use your computer and then set a password on your account.

To encrypt the folder, right-click it in the right pane of Windows Explorer and select Properties. Under the General tab, click the Advanced button and then select the Encrypt contents check box.

You forgot your password for your Windows 7 toshiba?

If you are trying to reset windows 7 password which is not associated with the administrator account you can in fact reset that password as long as you have your administrator password.

The only way to reset your administrator password if you cannot remember it on Windows 7 is to either purchase a password recovery software program or reinstall Windows 7 with your recovery disk. You can get more information from Toshiba Official Website.

What would cause a computer using Vista to shutdown by itself?

How you remove unwanted files from computer?

Well if you use internet explorer then you can go to the tools menu click delete browsing history then click delete all. This will delete cookies, history, temporary files, form data and passwords. Then you can visity your document folder and delete any document that are old and out of date and/or are not needed. Programs are a big memory taker. They take up alot of your hard drive so remove those un used or unwanted programs by clicking start,control panel, add/remove programs and then find the programs on the list and remove them.

Unless you are an experienced and capable administrator (i.e. someone who has learned from the mistake of doing this sort of thing incautiously), you should generally rely on simple and free tools to do this.

For the most basic of cleaning tasks, use Windows 2000 and XP's own built-in tools:

1. Click Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup (you can also just click Start | run | then type: cleanmgr).

2. This tool will scan the drive, then present some options about cleanup. You can delete temporary files, clear internet caches, etc. Basic stuff.

3. On the 'more options' tab you can uninstall applications and components you are no longer using, or clear restore points (which are created when you install drivers and important software).

Once you have run through these steps, it's always a good idea to run the Defrag program to more efficiently use all that recovered space.

For more advanced (but still easy and bulletproof) cleaning, run the Microsoft Live Safety Center tool. Free, web-based, and does an excellent job cleaning not only useless files and defragmenting your hard drive, but also removing malware in all its forms. A one-stop shop.

http://safety.live.com/

Just click 'Full Service Scan', let it install the plugin, choose 'complete scan', then sit back and watch the action.

You can set your folder options under My Computer, View to see hidden files, but that is dangerous to start deleting them. If you want a fresh start, you're better off to back up everything you want to keep onto another hard drive, CD burner, floppy, thumb drive, etc. then fdisk & format the hard drive to wipe it all out and reinstall your operating system and any games/programs, etc. you want on there. You can set your bios to boot from a windows CD or a floppy and it should walk you through the re-formatting of your drive.

I apologize but I do not agree to going to extreme lengths such as formatting drive unless the operating system is not responding. Temp internet files, adwares, cookies, unused dlls from improperly uninstalled programs - all cause problems such as slowing down computer. However, most of the problems of a slow computer are caused by cluttered registry files. A good registry cleaner usually speeds up [use softwares such as pccon, errorkiller, errordoctor, they are the best]. An overall cleaning utility, which has never failed me is - Ace Utilities. It has everything that is needed to keep up and running - a drive cleaner, registry cleaner, startup add remove, etc etc - check yourself. These are inexpensive and worth their price shareware programs. The freeware programs I have never tried, but would surely try them someday. Right now, these are the best up on my saddle. ...... :) Komalsoft

If you have broadband Internet your computer gets a lot of junk called data miners that monitor what you do and send this back to the company which send you pop ups. Very annoying. These data miners can take up a lot of room if they're left to accumulate and use up a lot of valuable CPU power so deleting them shows a considerable boost in power. They're usually very well hidden and it would take you from now till next year to delete them all as they're just continually downloading to your computer. There is software called Ad-Aware that will hunt them out and delete them. I seriously recommend it. lavasoftusa.com is the address I think.

in the search for files and or folders on the c: drive...search for specific files called *.tmp and delete all found.You can also delete all ie5 files found in the windows temporary internet directory. If you are using a computer with a :restore: such as gateway goback or even windows system restore make sure you have a normal running machine at startup (no virus etc...)then in system troubleshooting disable system restore and all your restore points. On a reboot your system comes back healthy and clean. here is something I found by playing around...for those on AOL... type in your screen name in the search for files named(your screen name)look at what you will find! delete them all...and again on reboot all is well. Funny little thing called windows!

well in my opinion never delete the programs manually do use the "add and remove" program in control pannel. bcoz in this way if u delete the installed program manually then some of the files ar eleft behind that are shared by other programs so in future this cause great problem.

secondly, if u want to remove the hidden files then u can goto views->folder option->files and folders->check the box with the option"show all files". then u can come back to ur drives and remove the files that u want to.

I agree with using the free Windows tool Disk Cleanup which also works in Vista. When you invoke it with Start/Run/type: cleanmgr you should check all the boxes for removal EXCEPT the maintenance files for Microsoft Office 2002-2003 (over 200 MB) which should be left intact or you will need the original CD for repair later when problems occur with Office. Office 2007 does not leave maintenance files available for Disk Cleanup in Vista or XP as the maintenance files are installed to a hidden msocache folder. In XP you will see an entry checkbox for Office 2007 temporary files which you can check for removal. To sum it up...in Vista check all Disk Cleanup boxes, in XP check all boxes except for Office 2002-2003 maintenance files

I also like CCleaner and Cleanup!, but have found CCleaner is better in Vista. Cleanup! does run in Vista, but is slower than its performance in XP. For CCleaner you should leave unchecked Cookies so your saved web passwords will not be purged. Everything else I delete. I am not a big fan of registry cleaners as I find they can get the typical user in a lot of trouble fast by deleting important Windows registry entries. The Registry is the brains of Windows and best left to more experienced users.

How often to run temporary file removers? Often...and once a day is not excessive.

The best way is to use a disk sanitizer, which will format the hdd and write useless information on it and then format it again, depending on the software. Classic formatting works, but data can still be recovered. If you use Linux or Unix, the shred command works great. <>

This program will remove:

Temp files

Temporary Internet files

Cookies

Junk in the registry

Stored search data

Etc..

And run Disk cleanup :-Click Start =>Programs=>Accessories=>System Tools=>Disk Cleanup

It is not uncommon to free up around 300MB after running this program the first time.

Caution Do not delete stuff in "Local Drive":\WINDOWS folder

This was probably allready mentioned. Open a folder. Tools>Folder Options click "show hidden files and folders" Delete everything that shows unless it says Can not Delete Access Denied.

Can Adobe PhotoDeluxe 4.1 be installed on Windows home premium 7?

yes..I have had many problems with phtodeluxe 3 and 4 on Vista. I can't load this or that..cannot find circle. dll..I used to have that parser issue but that was easily resolved. Suddenly a few weeks back neither would open completely.Just now I tried to use it again. I went to the the photodeluxe "folder" and clicked on the colorful pd4 and it worked. But when I copied it to the desktop, it would not work..so, I went back to the pd4 "sent" it to the desktop and it works fine..at least for the moment. I have photoshop but like many of you agree, it is much more complicated. I wish Adobe would create another photodeluxe program...So many of us love it and would be happy to pay for it..again. But for now, Photodeluxe 4 is working on my vista home premium.

Hi. Yes you can install Photodeluxe 4 on Vista Home Premium by doing the normal install then [right click] on Photodeluxe's desktop shortcut, click [Properties], click on the [Compatibility tab] and [checkmark] the open box for [Run this program in compatibility mode] and make sure it is set for Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Click [Apply and OK]. It should now work. Let me know if I helped.

Hello.

I'm no computer wiz but the easy answer for me was to click on the disc icon or shortcut to disc drive. Click on English, then click on Install, then back click on Setup (16 bit launcher). The last thing you do is click on Run as Administrator. In my case it started loading the PhotoDeluxe 4.0 like there never was a problem. The first time I edited a picture the program ran slow but when I closed it a message came up and now it runs perfectly.

Much faster then on my old PC with Windows XP. The old "scratch disc is full" problem is gone too.

What are the features of windows NT operating system?

Windows NT FeaturesInformix enhanced the NT server product to include many of the features available in the UNIX version. In addition, the NT product ports more closely coincide with the UNIX ports.

What does 64 bit processing mean?

32-bit or 64-bit is the number of data bits that a computer can handle in a register, with the data bus, with an instruction manipulation, etc. In a "standard" 8-bit per byte system, 32 bits can hold four bytes, and 64 bits can hold 8 bytes.

The designations 32-bit and 64-bit also refer to the operating mode of the processor. The IA-32 architecture, which started with the 80386 microprocessor, could handle 32-bit data and it had a 32-bit address bus. That is a 4GB address space, of which 2GB is used for the program, 1GB is used for shared DLL's, and 1GB is used for the operating system.

While a 32-bit address space is quite large, some programs, particularly database programs, need to manuipulate more than 2GB without needing to "think" about address segmentation.

The 64-bit architecture solves this by allowing much larger address spaces to be created, up to 8TB, depending on the operating system. The operating system runs in 64-bit mode, and it supports programs written in both 64-bit mode and 32-bit mode.

I recommend not to plug the printer to your computer yet. Insert the installation CD that came with the printer in your computer. Run the software. It will also show you instructions on how to setup the printer itself. Follow the instructions. If you don't have the installation CD, you can download the updated driver from the Lexmark website www.lexmark.com. Hope this helps.

How to remove Ubuntu wubi?

If you are currently dual-booting...

Note: When a computer is dual-booted, the user selects an operating system at start-up.

Rather than being loaded into one automatically.

You have to format the partition that you installed Ubuntu on, you can use free software to help you do this. When the partition has been formatted, extend the free space to your main partition (most commonly the "C:" drive).

If you use Ubuntu stand-alone...

You will have to re-format the drive you installed Ubuntu on.

If you have a factory recovery disk, you may use this to re-install Windows, or any other operating system.

NOTE: Re-formatting will erase all files and settings, so you should back-up all important documents before starting this process.
