Note: If you have a space, use a \, like this:

Into a terminal, type

Difference between safe mode and normal mode of computer?

Safe mode is a diagnostic mode. In safe mode you will have reduced functionality, but the task of isolating problems is easier because many non-core components are disabled(turned off).

How do you fix your jumpy mouse?

If this is a mechanical mouse, you need to clean it. Flip it over and pop off the bit that holds the ball in... its usually just a snap-on clip like what holds the batteries in your tv remote... remove the ball & have a look inside.

What you should see are 3 wheels. Two of them are at 90 degree angles from each other & a third is opposite the first two. The two 90 degree ones are the actual sensor wheels, one detects up & down movement & the other left & right. The third wheel is just a spring-loaded wheel that tries to keep the ball in contact with those other two.

Anyway, find a pencil with a good eraser & use the eraser to scrub off the hardened nasty stuff stuck to those wheels. Turn the wheels & make sure to get the crud off it all the way 'round. Also, if there is some bits of hair or lint wound up in there, use a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers to remove it.

Lastly, blow it out real good to remove any chunks of crud remaining inside, wipe the ball off with some glass cleaner or something, pop it back together & youre good to go!

If its an optical mouse, check to see if there is a hair or some lint on the eye (the little lens on the bottom.) Even the tiniest little hair stuck to that lens can cause all sorts erratic behavior. Clean it off with a moist q-tip or something & hope that does the trick.

Can you put a windows 98 hard drive in a XP computer and use it as a second drive?

Yes, you can remove a hard drive from an older computer, place it in a new computer, and format it. Simply formatting it will leave it with no operating system, and thus useless in the Windows 98 computer. Installing Windows 98 to the drive from in your new computer may be difficult if your computer exceeds 512 MB of RAM, or if you use a SATA CD/DVD drive. Installing Windows XP to the drive might not work when placed back into the older computer if it doesn't meet XP's system requirements.

Why are apple computers more safer than windows?

You could say that but no one can guarantees safety, it all depends on what you do. If you are downloading or watching stuff that may give it a 'virus' then I recommend a antivirus program. Even if its free e.g Bitdefender antivirus is a free app from the App Store. However to answer your question in one sentence, yes, an iMac or MacBook is less vulnerable than the average windows computer.

BUT Some windows computers have built in antivirus.
