The most basic point is that CCE can prove to be dangerous because students will take studies casually. If there won't be any competition all students won't study sincerely. Our education system needed improvement but such a random change would never help instead it will do the opposite. If the same system would have been introduced gradually it would have been better. But now most of the students have come to think that acting smartly in front of the teacher is the key to success. Studies are taken as secondary. As a result scores are dropping in all schools. Also teachers are getting more powers which they can always use unfairly and to some extent "partially".

There are a few potential benefits of doing a disk defrag regularly. It will improve the performance of the hard drive and speed up access to files. The files are organized more efficiently and space is created.

It just restores your computer to how it was at an earlier time so any changes or new programs that occurred after the restore point will be undone. However, new files will still be on your system.

Click start>click run type in msconfig and then press enter. Goto the start up tab and uncheck everything except your anti virus.click ok and reboot. When you come back to the desktop check the box 'do not show this message again" and click ok .

yes, we can.

Right click on Autorun/Setup file, one clicks to launch the installation, click on properties > Compatibility > Choose Widows XP Service Pack 2/ Windows Vista SP 1> and also click Run as administrator.

One must be able to install it and also launch the desktop icon with the same compatibility settings.

The graphics might not be great, but does the job. :)

If a system is on 24-7, scheduling defragmentation for off-hours means there is less activity on the computer, thus less disk access and no one running applications whose performance might be affected.

DirectX is not about your operating system but it's about video card you have. Video cards available today support DirectX 11 and as far as you have drivers for such video card your will support DirectX. Make sure that you update DirectX.

I use my Compaq computer 'start up' discs to erase the hard drive, this is called 'formating'. Then I reinstall Windows XP and whatever I want on my computer. Don :)

I agree with Don. Reformatting wipes the drive clean, and you get to start over.

The first place to look is the Recycle Bin. That's the normal place deleted files go. For the rest of this reply I'll assume you're talking about "properly" deleted files.

Generally, the answer is no. When a file is deleted the space it occupied is immediately available for new files to be saved over, and when that happens the file is forever erased (for all practical purposes). Undelete tools can sometimes recover recently deleted files, or fragments of them; because of the way space is allocated on the disk, these work better on Windows 95/98/ME machines than NT/2K/XP. But the longer a file has been deleted, the more likely it is to have been overwritten and lost for good.

Yes is also possible.

Unless you have low-level formatted the drive, there will always be a trace or image of your data.

This cannot easily be accessed, especially by home-users.

Best to go to a specialist. Companies deal in recovering data which has been deleted, corrupted or the physical disc damaged.

Mainly companies use this service for important data that they have lost.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that your data could be found. Even if it was possible, it would cost hundreds of dollars.

The above mentioned answers are true but have omitted 1 very important thing.

If you have not defragmented your drive then there should not be a problem with a qualified person to retrieve the item.

But of course if you have defraged the drive since then no the data is as good as lost.

Most PC repair companies now offer data recovery service's, but shop around for best price.

Prices vary from £50 ($80) up to £200 ($320)

Also, Microsoft Word does have a feature that saves a backup copy when you edit a file. If you have that turned on, and you haven't cleaned out your folders, then it is possible that it still exists. Of course, if you never turned the feature on, then it doesn't help at all.

It depends on the type of file you are talking about.

If you back up your documents (Word, Excel) or photographs then you can certainly delete them from your computer hard drive once they're on the external hard drive. If you need them again you can simply plug the external hard drive to the computer in order to access them.

If you're talking about program files than you have to consider whether or not the external hard drive will always be plugged into your computer. If you move a program file and then unplug the external hard drive then you should not delete the files unless you plan on plugging the external hard drive in (or leaving it attached) every time you want to use that program. If you don't mind accessing a program from the external hard drive every time you need to use it than you can certainly delete it from your computer hard drive. Otherwise, make a copy to the external hard drive as a backup in case you have computer problems and leave the original version you want to run regularly on your computer.

DirectX 9.0c is not available for Windows 7; to actually install DirectX 9.0c, you would have to downgrade to Windows XP (any edition). In order to play games which require DirectX 9.0c without downgrading your installation of Windows, you must upgrade to DirectX 10.1 or later. DirectX 10.0 (initially included in Windows 7) did not include support for DirectX 9.0c, a decision that Microsoft ultimately repealed when DirectX 10.1 was released.
