The high tech revolution has made computer indispensable tools for humans. We basically rely on it for everything that we do.

Students use computers. The secretary and the receptionist at the next door firm use computers. We even use computers to entertain ourselves for when we dont feel like watching the television.

This is why when our computer crashes, its always a big thing for us. What we usually do is to have a computer geek take a look at it and have him charge us with different hardware he thinks should be replaced.

Or the next thing we do is to download the latest antivirus and have it check every last file we have. These may do the trick but sometimes they do not.

During those circumstances when they just dont do it, you need to start thinking about your registry. But what is a registry? Your registry is the part of your computer that stores various information like the hardware connected to your computer, your system option, or your used memory.When youve been using your computer for a long time already, your registry can be corrupted and it may slow down your computer.

Internet Browser: The New IE8

Posted: June 30th, 2009 | Author: Sam Roberts | Filed under: Computer | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

Internet Explorer 8 has taken on its closest rival Firefox 3 head on with its nifty features. It has better tab handling, a smarter search bar and address bar and many new tools. It has also got a nifty feature for anonymous surfing (often called Porn mode) and security tools. However, I can almost sense cynicism from those who abandoned IE for Firefox, Opera or Chrome.

Yes the older IE was clunkier and it inundated your computer with spyware and popups. I can remember the browser hijacks that happened! But the new IE8 is much better.

Tabbed Browsing The tabs are a huge improvement for people accustomed to the alternate browsers like Firefox and Opera. IE handles the tabs well, the new one opening right next to the one you are working on, and in the same color. The color coding saves a lot of time if you require referencing. You can also move a tab by simply dragging it.

You can re-open tabs by pressing Ctrl-Shift-T and see the recently closed tabs by right clicking any tab and pick the one you want reopened. Moreover if a tab crashes it does not affect the others.

Like Chrome and Firefox, it has an integrated search box that searches the Web, RSS feeds, Favorites and your browsing history.

New Features This internet browser has Accelerators and Web Slices. Accelerators display feeds from other websites as a popup on your page or in another tab. All you need to do is highlight that link.

Security Finally makers of this internet browser have heard the cries of people who were suffering. Microsoft has installed something it calls SmartScreen Filter that has anti phishing capabilities and issues malware warnings. It blocks cross scripting attacks and protects against malicious ActiveX. Microsoft has claimed that it IE8 offers protection against clickjacking. Clickjacking is when hackers put an invisible code under a legitimate one. Once you click it, spyware gets installed.

Of course what has got people talking is the InPrivate browsing or the porn mode. When you browse the net in this mode, no browsing history, cookies or passwords are stored by the browser.

You can select the cookies you want deleted. This is innovative and convenient. You have an option where you can select to preserve the favorite websites data, so that when you delete your browsing history, certain data is preserved.

Search Bar It actually previews the website. When the IE8 gives you the initial results of your search, if the provider has any special graphics added, it shows up as a thumbnail which makes the search easy.

As far as internet browsers go, IE8 is smoother and faster than the IE7. However, it is just at par with Firefox. For simple browsing IE8 is a great option, it has better tab systems and a great search box and niftier features that Firefox doesn’t have, the accelerator, malware protection and of course the porn mode.

However, what it does not have is the add ons that Firefox users are accustomed to. However for basic browsing, this internet browser is far better.

5 Things To Know When Buying A New Printer

Posted: June 28th, 2009 | Author: Frank Bolsom | Filed under: Computer | Tags: , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

In spite of the “paperless office” that was supposed to be ushered in by the common use of computers, there is more printing done today than ever before. And that means that printers and their supplies have to be replaced on a fairly regular basis, whether you’re printing at home or in a business.

Modern printers boast a plethora of functions. Printers can read digital memory cards and print high resolution photos. Some multi-function printers can print, scan, and fax. It is important to consider your options before deciding on which is best for you to purchase.

Think about the expenses that will be involved in the extended use of the printer. Color printers can commonly be purchased for less than $100. Keep in mind, however, that the same low priced printers require the frequent purchase of expensive ink cartridges.

If you’re thinking about buying a budget printer, find out how much the ink costs to replace and whether there are generic or refilled cartridges available for it.

Many printers are sold with ink straight out of the box, but the cartridges might be smaller than normal. It is important to think about this when deciding which printer is for you.

The printer may not seem like such a good deal when you have to buy a new set of ink after printing 40 or 50 pages.

Black and white printing is more common than color printing, so check on the price of the black print cartridge. On some printer models, larger black cartridges are available and buying those could help save money over the life of the printer.

It’s also important to have in mind what your personal printing needs are. For example, if you plan to print your own photos from a digital camera, you should consider the variety of digital photo printers available on the market.

Photo printers, however, usually produce more costs than most inkjet printers. Find one that matches your needs. A laser printer costs even less to operate than the average inkjet.

Something else to be considered is if extra features such as scanning, copying, and faxing are for you. While such features are nice, they often go unused by owners, and might not be necessary.

And consider the cost for these other features as well. Do you really want to make photocopies at home that could cost $0.50 to $1.00 per page when you can get them for 5 to 10 cents at the local copy store?

Reasons To Buy Refurbished Laptops

Posted: June 28th, 2009 | Author: Patty Hough | Filed under: Technology | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »

If you are thinking about getting a desktop computer or a laptop but don’t want to spend too much, you might consider buying a refurbished one. The word refurbished has a negative image to it but it can often mean that there was some small insignificant problem with the unit. Laptops and computers can be returned to the manufacturer for a variety of reasons and many times it is something small like a button not working properly or a connection loose somewhere. Once the unit comes back, the store has to sell it as refurbished and often times it is practically new.

If you are looking for a laptop for a teenager or your younger child, a refurbished unit can be a great choice. It is clear why you might not want to pay full price for a laptop as your teen will probably not take care of it as they should and it might get banged up a bit. Buying one that is refurbished or used will mean that if they do drop it or break it, you will not be out the full amount. Even buying a used older model could work out great and even the older models now should come with enough memory and RAM for any student.

Where is a good place to find refurbished laptops for sale? If you go to your local Best Buy or other such outlet they will have some available but probably not the selection you desire. Their selection is from the ones returned by their customers so there probably isnt that many. If you want a larger selection, the best place to go is Ebay online. You will find tons and tons of models that are all refurbished and probably nowhere else will you find that many in one place. Of course, if you don’t like buying things online then you shouldn’t do it but these days it has become pretty safe.

Whenever you buy anything that is refurbished you should always make sure to get the manufacturers warranty. This is just a smart thing to do and especially so with a unit where you already know something went wrong. Although buying refurbished laptops is pretty safe, you must be aware that there could be a problem with it again. That warranty will protect you from that possibility and make your purchase worry free.

Many parents, when faced with their first computer purchase for their young teen, choose to by used or refurbished units. This is because there is no need to go out and pay full price for the newest machine when a cheaper unit will do just fine. Add to that the chances are great that food or drink will be spilled on it at some time and you have a great reason to buy refurbished.

If youre going to open up your personal computer case to check some computer hardware components or clean up the hardware you must take the precautions listed. Computer motherboards and components, such as the sound card, video card, and memory, contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. It is necessary to protect computers against damage from static electricity. A brief explanation of static is its a major contributing factor in the breakdown of computers. Eliminating the damage from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) can save a lot of money. Here are some things you must remember and precautions to follow whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside or well known inside of central processing unit (CPU). You must unplug the power cord to ensure that there is no power to the motherboard.

2. Since there are capacitors in the computer which can store a charge for short periods of time, it is a good idea to wait a few minutes after unplugging the power cord before working on the computer.

3. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components such as the video card, memory, hard disk, and etc. if you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case to prevent a discharge from your body to the component.

4. Try not to touch the chips, wires, capacitors or circuitry by holding circuit boards by the edges to avoid static discharge damage.

5. If you are going to remove components from the system, connect up an anti-static mat or use the bag the component came in to place them on and prevent static discharge. Also be aware the hard drive is heavy and can easily slip out of your hand and if dropped may very well not work again.

6. Dont ever touch the non-serviceable. When you come across labels that say “No serviceable components inside” don’t take it as a challenge because its a serious statement. Remember some parts of a computer are just not meant to repaired and this label is usually seen on the power supply which isn’t a good idea to try to repair. Replacement is best.

Remember that you are responsible for protecting yourself from injuries and from causing damage to your computer. A common incident is loss of stored data due to a hard drive crash. These are some simple things to remember that will protect you, your computer and most of all the data stored on your computer.
