Why Your Computer is So Slow These Days and How to Fix it Very Quickly


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Nothing is worse than having to work with a computer that's slow. If you are a gamer, the slow speed could make you lose your game or points because of freezing or just slow uploads. If you are a programmer, you could lose your trend because of freezing, and this could cause you to miss encoding something. If you just like using your computer daily, you will likely want to run out and buy a new one just because you're frustrated. Stop allowing your slow computer to ruin your life. Fix it once and for all with a registry cleaner.

A slow PC, unless infected with a virus or malware, is slow because it has too much in it. Usually, when this happens, it is not the number of applications, software, documents you have stored in your computer, but the number of files in your registry.

The registry is found in your system, and so you normally do not see it unless you look for it in your Windows Search option. It has no icon for easy access for a reason. This is part of what makes your computer run, and so fiddling around with the registry is a big no-no.

You need a piece of software called a registry cleaner to delete the unnecessary files that are clogging your registry. These are files that you don't need anymore, so it's useless to keep them. Unfortunately, manual deletion is almost impossible because the file names are confusing and many look the same. If you delete the wrong file, your computer could crash. Why take the risk when a registry cleaner costs less than $30 and is good for many years?

Flight Simulator Games For Your PC - Get the Most Out of Your Game


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Flight simulator games for you PC range from computer based all the way up to a full sized cockpit experience. Usually they are based upon actual, real world conditions. They look and feel very realistic and anyone playing them, especially beginners, get so carried away that they become confused and feel that they are in the real thing and are going to have to crash land the plane.

There are also many addons and accessories that make this hobby a never ending learning curve. There is such a huge demand for these type of games that many experienced hobbyists are designing their own flight simulator games for your PC. Some individuals have even become real life pilots and make that their career, or design their own games and make that their career. That is how addicting this hobby is.

There are thousands of flight simulator games to choose from such as for the Nintendo, Pilot Wings, PlayStations and the Sky Odyssey. However, due to the limited capability of game consoles and their ability to display real life like simulations and experiences, they tend to be fairly simple to operate and very easy to use. This is fine for the beginner, but if you want a true life like experience, then you would do yourself a huge favor by using downloadable flight simulator games for your PC.

These games are not just for entertainment, but for professional purposes as well. Due to the fact that these games are safe and easy to use, many pilots use them just to get the feel of the real thing.

Searching For a Quality A320 Flight Simulator?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


It's like searching for a needle in a haystack when you are trying finding a good quality flight simulator game, it's even harder to find the best A320 flight simulator on the market.

The U.S. gaming industry has long overlooked the A320 in favor of the further trendy Boeing models, which has left supporters of the A320 and its sort, including the A319, A318, and A321, out in the cold. This has at last been rectified with the launch of Flight Pro Sim, a game which includes the ever popular Boeing, but also contains a quantity of Airbus models for enthusiasts to drool over.

One of the first aircrafts I took for a spin in the Flight Pro Sim game was the well liked model in the Airbus brand, the A320. Experiencing the A320 flight simulator for the first time I was especially impressed with the splendid quality of it and if you are a admirer of the A320 then I think you will be of the same opinion with me.

The A320's large standard cockpit design was the first thing that grabbed me I couldn't in fact concentrate on where to start. With the bigger jumbo jets having a large body you can feel the better operating of the A320 in the air straight away.

My first flight in the A320 flight simulator was brilliant and I began my trip in the home of the Airbus Headquarters, Paris. It truly felt like I was flying over the city as I zipped past the Eiffel Tower, and the city looked exceedingly impressive while all lit up at night.

If you decide to use the on line mode of the game then you will spot that the A320 is very busy and the A320 is so admired and it's good to spot and Flight Pro Sim does it justice. If you've been searching for a cracking A320 flight simulator for months or even years, I can happily report that your wait has ultimately come to an end, with Flight Pro Sim.

LCD Computer Monitor Buying Guide


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Sometimes buying new toys for yourself, your home, and your computer can be quite a daunting task. You want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck, right? You also want to make sure that what you're buying can put up with the task of being used, and handled daily. And you also want to make sure that there's no quality defects, or that there's no production or manufacturing problems that may lead to defects. Buying an LCD computer monitor is just another buying decision that you want to do well on. There are many aspects, and specifications of LCD computer monitors that you should pay very close attention to, because they determine how well your LCD monitor does a specific task, like playing a game or watching a movie, because not all computer monitors are made the same.

LCD Computer Monitor Specifications

Screen Size: This one is very important, I'm sure you can tell why. The bigger the screen size the more viewing area you have on your monitor, which equals a bigger screen for bigger movies, bigger games, and bigger web pages. Also bigger screen sizes support higher resolutions. LCD computer monitor size varies from 17 inches all the way up to 26 inches. A 26 inch LCD computer monitor is one nice piece of technology. However, the higher they go the more cash you'll end up spending. Most computer users stick with 19", 20", and 22" monitors. Right now these sizes are the sweet spots for the best bang for the buck. Currently, most monitor deals focus on these models.

Widescreen: Yes. Widescreen means that the computer monitor has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which has been growing in popularity over the last couple of years. Widescreen is better because it allows you to see the whole picture as it was intended in movies. It allows a wider viewing area which is very important, because on non-widescreen movies or 4:3 aspect ratio movies a large portion of the sides are cut off, and that can change a dramatic part of the movies into a not-so-dramatic part. With computers, widescreen allows you to have more sideways space for your applications, in overall computer usage it doesn't really have any side effects, and it makes it look equally cool. Most LCD computer monitors nowadays are being sold in Widescreen aspect ratios, you have to specifically look for an LCD monitor with a 4:3 aspect ratio anymore.

Native Resolution: The native resolution the maximum resolution that the monitor can display images natively. It's the resolution that the monitor was built to have. If you use a resolution other than the native resolution the monitor will have stretch, and shrink the image to fit the specified resolution which results in quality and detail loss. The native resolution offers the best image quality over all other resolutions. Good native monitor resolutions include 1920x1080 (1080p HD), 1280x720 (720p HD), and 1680x1050.

Contrast Ratio: The contrast ratio is the range between brightest and darkest on the computer monitor. The higher the contrast ratio the better. If a monitor has a high contrast ratio it has a greater range of shades, enhanced detail, and greater image depth.

Response Time: This is important especially for gaming and movies, this is the amount of time it takes for the monitor to refresh, the lower the response time the better. If your monitor's response time is low, or you have an older LCD computer monitor, you've probably experienced some ghosting, ghosting is where the images end up sort of being mashed together between frames. You'll see what's left over of the previous frame in the current frame, and can get irritating if it happens often.

Brightness: The brightness is emitted light power over a specific area on the monitor, the higher the brightness the better. Most monitors have over 200 cd/m2 which is sufficient for normal use.

Connectivity: Connectivity is important, because it will determine how your monitor is going to connect to your computer, most newer monitors have DVI connectivity, while older LCD monitors will have VGA port connectivity. If you happen to have a VGA monitor you can get an adapter that will convert it to DVI so you can plug your monitor into your computer.
