Faster Computer - How to Make Your Computer Run Faster


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Is your computer running slower and slower? If so, it is time for you to optimize your computer. A computer will start running slow and have various system errors after being used for a long time without proper maintenance. How to make your computer run faster and avoid some system errors? You need to follow the instructions below.

Repair Registry Errors

Repairing registry errors is the first thing that you should do if you want to make your computer run faster. Why? Because registry is that database of a computer which contains the most important information and settings of all software, device drivers and system programs on your computer. The data in registry defines how Windows system runs and how a software executes a operation.

Registry is very important to a computer. But it is extremely vulnerable. A simple un-installation of a software or a virus can bring damage to it. If some registry keys are deleted or corrupted, Windows system, devices and programs will not be able to run fast and work properly. What is worse, it can lead to severe PC problems like freezes, program not responding, blue screen and even crash. To improve computer performance, you need to repair registry errors regularly.

Clean Up Junk Files

When you use your PC, Windows would record each operation and save some temporary files on your computer. And when you open a website, IE would keep it in the browsing history and save the pages. And some programs also record operations and save some temporary files.

These temporary files do not do you a favor. On the contrary, they slow down your computer. Because when you boot up Windows, Windows needs to load necessary program files as well as the temporary files. They will slow down the computer. That is why we call these files as junk files. To make your computer run faster, you need to clean up the temporary files from your computer.

Optimizing computer performance is a very complicated thing. Besides repairing registry and cleaning up junk files from your computer, you still need to repair dll files, disable unnecessary startup items, tweak memory and so on. It's hard for you to do all the things manually.

Startup Programs Slow Your Computer


Image : http://www.flickr.com


A silent killer of modern operating systems is the set of programs and services (a special kind of program) that starts running silently when the computer starts. By the time you can get to your desktop after starting your computer, there could be 20 programs and 20 more services running - no wonder your computer is slow! This is a very simple concept: the more programs running, the slower the program you are interested in will run. This is one of the simple secrets to prevent computer problems and prevent a broken computer.

Today, let's first take a look at the programs running when your computer starts. The meat of this discussion will focus on Windows, but there are similar tools in other operating systems. For example, in Ubuntu Linux, navigate to System/Preferences/Startup Applications.

Back to the Windows world. Microsoft hides a very helpful list of these startup programs in a program called msconfig. Once the utility is opened, these programs can be located under the Startup tab. When you reach that tab, those programs can be removed from the list of programs that starts at boot-up time simply by deselecting the corresponding checkbox! That is the easy part.

How do you know which ones are safe to disable? Use a database such as the one at BleepingComputer - open that website and type in the name (far left column, next to the checkbox) of the program listed in the Startups tab of msconfig, and if the Status column has anything but "Y" then it can be safely de-selected. Additional clues can be found simply by searching for the program name in Google, and looking at the folder it's installed in within msconfig.

Often times, programs are configured to start up so that their "environment" is ready when you want the application. As an example, Adobe Reader includes a program with the sole purpose of helping Adobe Reader to start faster (reader_sl.exe), but which consumes your computer's resources! Ultimately we recommend replacing Adobe Reader because it is entirely bloated and slow, but more on that later-uncheck the reader_sl.exe entry in msconfig! Watch for the follow-up piece about operating system Services.

How To Transfer Music To PSP


Image : http://www.flickr.com


As a new user of the PSP, you probably ask the same question again and again regarding the functions and the adaptability of the portable gaming console. In particular, how to transfer music to PSP is one of the things that users immediately ask about. Transferring music to PSP involves simple procedures and will not be a problem. Even a novice can do it as long as they are familiar with the PSP's controls.

In following the procedures of transferring music to PSP, one must first be familiarize with formats a PSP is able to recognize and play. A good conditioned PSP with firmware version 2.60 or higher will be able to play music format in MP3, ATRAC3plus, MP4, WAV and WMA files. Having a firmware version lower than 2.60 means that some of the music formats mentioned will not be playable.

The second thing to remember is to use Memory Stick Duo instead of Memory Stick Pro Duo. The earlier type of memory stick will work well with the better type of stick than Memory Stick Pro Duo for music files.

You will need some equipment, particularly the PSP, a computer, a Memory Stick Duo or Pro Duo, and a USB cable with a Mini-B connector on one end.

First, the Memory Stick is inserted into the appropriate slot which is located in the left side of the portable game console. The number of music that you will store on a PSP will depend on the capacity of the storage device.

Once the USB has been inserted, turn on the PSP. Connect the other end of the USB cable in the PSP to your PC or Mac. When you observe closely the USB cable, you'll find that there's a Mini-B connector on one end and a standard USB connector on the other side, this one goes to the USB plug of the computer.

Once the PSP and PC are connected, look for the USB connection from the "Settings" option in the PSP. Then press the X button. Once you've pressed the button, the PSP will display words "USB Mode" and your PC or Mac will recognize it as a USB storage device.

The next step involves dragging and dropping image files into a folder that you've already created. Its pretty much like using any other programs in a computer interface.

30-10 Domination on Invasion

Here's a video where I start from the alpha spawn and fight for half the game before we get the map control we need to win. I do a fair job of getting the engagements I want (I have cover, they don't) but a newb tuber gets the best of me for a while. I hope you enjoy it. PS I realize the my mic is a little bit blown out compared to my other videos. I'm recovering from a computer crash and I'm still sorting this type of thing out.
