Setting Up Your PC for Dual-monitors: It's Easier Than You Think 2007-07-31 10:13:00 By Preston WilyThe traditional view of a "PC"If you ask just about anybody what their idea of a "PC system" is they will probably list a tower, a keyboard, a mouse and a monitor. While it is true that these are the essential elements of using a personal computer, it is becoming more and more popular to use an alternative setup.Sometimes two is better than oneIt is becoming increasingly more common to see people using two towers with one keyboard, video and monitor. This is accomplished through the use of a KVM switch - as you probably already guessed, KVM standard for keyboard-video-mouse. This is great for people who need more computing power than they can get with one machine. A good example of this would be in a graphic design environment where you are consuming a high percentage of your available RAM and CPU power to run heavy editing applications.Sometimes you need more room to be productiveFor some people computing power is not a huge issue, but they could use more desktop space: Read more:Setting
ATA vs SATA 2007-07-26 07:43:00 By Jason KohrsHard Drives: ATA versus SATAThe performance of computer systems has been steadily increasing as faster processors, memory, and video cards are continuously being developed. The one key component that is often neglected when looking at improving the performance of a computer system is the hard drive. Hard drive manufacturers have been constantly evolving the basic hard drive used in modern computer systems for the last 25 years, and the last few years have seen some exciting developments from faster spindle speeds, larger caches, better reliability, and increased data transmission speeds.The drive type used most in consumer grade computers is the hearty ATA type drive (commonly called an IDE drive). The ATA standard dates back to 1986 and is based on a 16-bit parallel interface has undergone many evolutions since its introduction to increase the speed and size of the drives that it can support. The latest standard is ATA-7 (first introduced in 2001 by the T13 Technical Com
Computer Drivers - What Are They? 2007-07-21 03:24:00 By Jesse MillerComputer
There are many opinions about which computer system is best, they are based mainly upon the system that the person is most acustom to. People find themselves using computers more and more every day. So it is a good idea to know how they work and the different parts that make them up. For other devices, you may need to load a new driver or drivers when you connect the device to your computer.HardwareThe physical elements of a computer is its hardware, they are generally divided into the central processing unit (CPU), main memory, also known as RAM and the peripherals. Hardware drivers are hidden from you. This makes them hard to find and even harder to get information on. Vista is coming up but at this time windows XP is a main operating system, and hackers are targeting it, so make sure you have a hardware firewall in place then security won't be a major issue. Also make sure that your computer's hardware drivers are up to date. As a result, many computer and s Read more:Drivers
CPU - Exactly What Does It Stand For? 2007-07-21 03:22:00 By Jesse MillerCPU stands for (central processing unit), also known as the brain, but this is useless without memory.The CPU interprets a command and instructs the hard drive to load the command or program into memory. The CPU along with this memory makes up the computer's "brain. Memory used to represent storage that has access by the CPU or other proccessors. When you enter a command from your keyboard, the CPU processes the command and calls for data to be copied from a storage device. Even the CPU has a type of memory referred to as "registers". The CPU needs wires to connect to memory cells.We also need a few extra traces to carry the signals that control whether the CPU is reading from or writing to the memory. As the CPU can handle only small amount of data at a time, the CPU uses cache as a temporary holding area while it performs an operation. Keeping track of what instruction is being executed is so important that a special CPU register, called the program counter is used to Read more:Stand
Hard Disk Data Recovery Still An Important Asset 2007-07-21 03:17:00 By David RumseyHard disks have evolved along the years to be a lot more reliable than their ancestors, but no matter how good they got to be, they are still open to damage and errors that could cause loss of data. If this happens, hard disk data recovery is the solution and a big problem solver if the information on the hard drive is important and not backed up.A hard disk can crash because of a range of different reasons but the most encountered is an unstable power supply. A hard disk is quite open to attacks from sudden power surges or power outages. Such power problems can cause both physical damage and logical errors. Logical damages are possibly easy to fix with a HDD scan and fixing the disk file system.In most cases, you can observe some signs or symptoms that the unit is about to crash. An imminent crash will cause frequent disk error messages. If the disk will not be shown during the startup of the operating system or the information provided is incorrect when the disk is ana Read more:Asset

You Can't Plant Apple Seeds and Expect Oranges 2007-07-14 01:29:00 By Dawn FieldsCheri decided that she wanted to grow an apple tree in her back yard. She had never planted an apple tree before. In fact, she had never planted anything before. This was her first time trying her hand at gardening. But last year, she had this idea that it would be nice to grow an apple tree right in her back yard.Now that the weather was growing nicer, the idea came back to her and it seemed that she became obsessed with growing an apple tree. Being urged to get started, she found herself going to the library and the book store and on the Internet to research all that she could about growing an apple tree. She had to learn about apple variety and rootstock; about site selection, proper planting, training and pruning, adequate fertility, and pest control all of types of things that contributed to creating a healthy and productive tree.Every time she went out in her yard, she would picture exactly where she would grow the tree. She would see, in her minds eye, the tree alr Read more:Apple

Romantic Ways to Propose 2007-05-12 22:09:00 By Mikee DunnYou’ve finally found the woman of your dreams: she’s beautiful, funny, smart and she even laughs at your cheesy jokes. She has been with you for the good times and the bad. She is the woman that you want to settle down with. You want to have children together and live in storybook cottage with a white picket fence. Now all you need to do is come up with some romantic ways to propose to her, because after all, none of those wonderful things can happen until she’s fully on board with the idea, right?One of the most romantic ways to propose to a woman is doing the classical fancy restaurant routine. All you do is you take her out one night to a fancy restaurant and when she asks why, tell her you have big news and that you want to celebrate. She would most likely think that you are getting a promotion at work or something, so she’ll get dolled up and arrive. Then, when it comes time for dessert, you land on bended knee and ask for her hand in marriage. That’s beauti

How Do You Stop Loving Someone? 2007-05-11 00:31:00 By Christine AkitengYou’ve tried to move forward with your life but you just can't help it, you still love him/her. People have told you “learn from it and get over it” but it’s not as easy as it seems because you feel stuck.How do you switch off those feelings?You can’t. If you truly loved him/her you will never stop loving. When you truly love someone (I am not talking about the ego-ridden, selfish controlling, fear driven kind of thing most of us think is love), you never ever get over it. That’s just the way love is.When we fall in true love, we open ourselves to a part of ourselves that is far much bigger and more powerful than just our mind, will and emotions. But because our understanding of this “thing called love’ is so limited (mind, will and emotions) we attach love to a particular person, someone outside of us. We see that person as a love object instead of a reflection of ourselves, a possession to hold onto instead of a conduit for the expression of the l Read more:Loving
Highways and Love 2007-05-09 09:11:00 By Lexi JewlgiaHave you ever heard the song "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochran? You know, it's the one with the chorus that goes: "Life is a highway / I wanna ride it all night long / If you're going my way / I wanna drive it all night long." I heard that the other day while driving, and it occurred to me that the song suggests a lot about romance.Life's like a road that you travel on,When there's one day here and the next day goneSometimes you bend and sometimes you standSometimes you turn your head to the windIn this song, obviously life is a highway. What then is love? Is it the car you drive, the signs you see, the passenger next to you, or something else? Love affects the quality of your journey down the road of life. People of interest could be the cars going the same way and same speed as you. Love could be the people you "let in" to your vehicle.There's a world outside ev'ry darkened doorWhere blues won't haunt you anymoreWhere brave are free and lovers soarCome ride wit
Love from God 2007-05-09 05:39:00 By Lynn KleinLove has to come from oneself. You have to know that you are special because God made you different from every other human being and He loves you so much. Love is not being vain, critical, judgmental or mean- spirited because God isn't like that. God is kind, nice, forgiving, peaceful and loving. That's how He wants everyone of us to be.When we are the best we can be then other people should notice and they will love us for it. We should love them back also. How can we be our best? We can pray to God that He will send His blessings down on us and change our lives if He has to. We just need faith in Him and to really love Him.Love shouldn't have any racial, religious, and ethical boundaries. God made us in his own image to be people that love one another and support each other and God doesn't believe in any prejudices. He just wants people to get along and love each other. What a wonderful world this would be if everyone was as loving as God is!Let's not forget the unf

Many couples though, whether just dating, engaged to be married, married couples or people just living together experience difficult times, heartaches and breakups. Does true love have a roll at these times? What if it does? Can you handle that kind of love?It’s true you don’t feel true love when you are the one being left. There is no sense of love when someone leaves you and you feel betrayed or, feel that you have been done wrong. What you are feeling is angry and hurt. But what if the shoe was on the other foot and you were the one who felt you needed to leave? Maybe it’s not your desire to hurt the one you’re leaving but you have realized that you didn’t really love them. You want to move on because there is no sense in trying to be a couple if only one of you desires to be there.If you are the one being left how should you respond in the situation?

It's Your Job To Live Your Real Life 2007-05-06 20:41:00 By Ineke Van LintIf you haven’t decided yet what your mission is and what it is you want to realize in this life, then you are wasting time and energy on all kinds of trivialities keeping you from what it is you really came here for.When there is no goal to strive for, when you don’t have an overview of your life plan, then you are not living your best life। You are being lived and you yourself are not the creator of your life.Without goal you are also without guidance to take the right decisions। You’re just running around without real destination, for no real reason. You’re probably quite exhausted and feel like you are spinning around without reason, without result and without satisfaction.As long you are not sure about your mission on earth, about the reason WHY you are here, about your main goal in life, you will feel like a ping-pong ball undergoing the commands of all your subpersonalities। We all are a mix of different subpersonalities.

True Love...Why Is That Stunning Girl Dating That Ugly Guy? 2007-05-05 09:22:00 By Matthew Robert PayneIt’s a question people ponder all their life. Mostly its people who are into vanity thinking the stunning girl is out of her mind, but the truth remains a mystery to the small minded of this world.

Monitor No Display - How To Repair Likom No High Voltage Problem 2007-08-18 11:56:00 By Jestine Yong The complaint for this LIKOM 15” L4031NDG Monitor
was no display and has power. Well, no display can be no high voltage, failure in G1, G2 and heater circuit, defective flyback transformer, failure in picture tube and microprocessor or many other reasons . In order to find out the answer we have to switch on the Monitor. Upon switching on the monitor, I could not hear any sound from the monitor but the power led is on (green light). You can’t feel any static at the glass of the picture tube. This could be a sign of no high voltage symptom.Anyhow, I have to use my faithful Kaise SK9000 high voltage probe to check if the high voltage present at the anode. Sometimes if you can’t feel the static at the glass of CRT, doesn’t mean that the high voltage is not present. It’s only low in high voltage; say may be 10 to 12 kilovolts. Low high voltage and no high voltage are totally two different symptoms. In the above case, my high voltage probe registered zero volts! So Read more:Display

DC Regulated Power Supply-How To Use It To Find Out Shorted Components In Main Board 2007-08-18 11:54:00 By Jestine Yong Quite often whenever electronic equipment don’t function or work, we would immediately suspect a faulty switch mode power supply. But do you know that defective or shorted components in the motherboard or main board could cause the power supply to stop working too?Switch mode power supply (SMPS) are designed so efficiently that whenever there is any short circuit occur in the main board the power supply would shut itself off and totally stop working. If you have no experience about troubleshooting switch mode power supply, you may think that the power supply have problem where in fact the main board is the real cause of no power problem.Switch mode power supply have a current sense circuit (if you look at UC3842 PWM IC pin 3, it stated I-sense which mean current sense) and if there is short circuit in the secondary side (either in secondary diodes or main board), the current drawn would be increase and this will lead the PWM IC to stop generating output to the power f Read more:Board

ATX Power Supply - The Simplest Way To Repair It 2007-08-18 11:53:00 By Jestine Yong I had stopped repairing ATX power supply many years back due to the new one cost very cheap . It’s not worth to repair it because the spare parts sometimes were much more expensive than getting a new power supply. Searching for ATX power supply spare parts was not easy as many of them you can’t even find them on the internet. Not only that, many complicated and different designed by power supply manufacturers had eaten up our precious troubleshooting time too because of we need time to understand how all these different designed power supply work.Some of the power supply designs were using the PWM IC (UC3842) and power FET, some use the double transistors while some use only a single power IC in the primary side. Because of the manufacturers wants the design to be made into compact size, many secondary or even primary power supply circuit were build into a modular board (smaller board). This made troubleshooting even more difficult because many times the meter’s p Read more:ATX Power
