ZSoft Uninstaller: My all time favorite uninstaller 2007-04-03 00:21:00 Tired of using the slow “Add & Remove Programs” uninstall Windows feature? Me to. That’s why I decided to take a switch. ZSoft Uninstaller is my favorite uninstaller. It’s a small, light weight replacement for the default windows uninstaller. It’s slick and loads extremely faster than the default on my machine. All installed programs are listed out and instead of going through the entire list, I just type in the name in the search box and there I have it: the software that matches my search term appears. and all I do is right click to uninstall. You could select the “Show/Edit” feature to either show or hide a particular software’s entry. Use this option if you never want to uninstall a particular software. This can be reversed ‘Settings’ menu.Then, a plus inside this software is the temporary file finder and deleter. Just click the icon in the toolbar, start a search, let it find the temp files, and then just delete them all at the click of a button. Simple. You

Apple Buyer’s Guide 2007-04-02 23:50:00 One of the things that always upsets Apple
customers is when they buy a product and a couple of weeks later Apple releases a new model and brands theirs as outdated or even obsolete. One of the examples of this, was when Apple released the iPod Nano and took the iPod Mini out of the market. Now, thanks to this website from MacRumors.com you can find out if the Apple product you wish to purchase is nearing an end of cycle or not. The iPod and the iPod Nano, for example, are approaching an end of cycle, and should see an update during the next 2 to 3 months. Perhaps in June, when Apple launches the iPhone and presents Leopard.

Intel gives details on Core 2’s successor: Penryn 2007-04-02 23:48:00 Intel revealed, a press conference a few days ago, some details
about the 45nm successor to the popular 65nm Core 2 Duo Processors. Besides the further miniaturization of the components, the new processors will also have a bigger cache and the capacity to do calculations more efficiently. If you want to read more details on what the new processors will have in store you can read the original article from ars, but, I’m guessing, that what you really want to know is: how faster your games will run thanks to it. Well, you’ll be happy to know, that performance will increase by as much as 20% on games, and by 40% some applications like video codecs. Intel aims to introduce six Penryn products this year and 15 are currently under development. It would be nice if a Penryn-enabled Macbook was launched when Leopard comes out. Read more:Intel
Hitachi launches 1 Terabyte Hard Drive 2007-04-02 23:46:00 Although 1 Terabyte
hard drives aren’t really new (Alienware and Dell already offer 1TB options for their systems), they are certainly becoming more common. At approximately €315 (more or less $420), this new Deskstar 7K1000 Toshiba hard drive offers a pretty ratio between capacity and price. It spins at 7200 rotations per minute, has 32MB of cache and uses SATA as it’s interface. Considering that my 300GB HDD cost almost a third of that price, I think that this is a pretty good deal for anyone looking for a new Hard Drive. Read more:Hitachi
How do I clean up the registry? 2007-03-29 11:33:00 All the installing and uninstalling of software leaves irrelevant entries that increase the registry size, unnecessarily compromising performance. You need to use a good registry cleaner, which will and scan and remove those redundant entries. I would recommend the no-longer-supported Macecraft Software’s RegCleaner 4.3, which you’ll have to search for through Google to download. It has been upgraded to a newer improved version called RegSupreme that is no longer free. Apart from extensive cleaning it lets you remove startup items professionally without resorting to “msconfig”.Also recommended is RegSeeker 1.35, which is freeware. It has a simple-to-use interface and throws in lots of other handy options.There are software packages that address most of the above issues. Programs such as Norton SystemWorks 2004Norton Internet Security 2004 bundles the popular Norton AV and a comprehensive firewall together with anti-spam software, a spyware/adware checker and a popup blocker. c
How do I recover my deleted files? 2007-03-29 11:32:00 Files can be recover
ed from your hard disk as long as they have not been overwritten. The professional version of Norton AntiVirus has advanced tools, such as Norton Protected Recycled Bin, which let you undo accidental file deletes, even after you have emptied the Recycle Bin; simply right-click the bin and run the UnErase wizard. You can also try PC Inspector File Recovery, which is freeware, for restoring deleted files

How do I change my drive letters? 2007-03-29 11:32:00 In Windows XP, right-click My Computer and then click Manage. In the left pane under Computer Management click Disk Management and you will see a list of all drive
s in the right pane. Right-click the drive or device whose letter you want to change and click “Assign the following drive letter”. Assign the drive letter and click OK.To change removable drive letters in Windows 98/ME, right-click My Computer and then click Properties. Click the Device Manager Tab click on CD-ROM to display the manufacturer and type, and click on Properties. Under the Settings tab, choose a new drive letter and assign the same to both to “Start drive letter” and “End drive letter”.To change physical drive letters in Windows 95/98 requires complex sniffing into the registry, which I don’t recommend for newbies. Instead, use a neat little piece of freeware called Letter Assigner, which brings the features in XP—for changing drive letters—to Windows 95/98/ME.
How do I make partitions? 2007-03-29 11:32:00 There are two major ways to partition hard drives. Either running “fdisk” from a bootable floppy, or use third-party Windows software. One of the world’s most popular partitioning programs is Partition Magic Pro 8.0. It allows you to create, resize, merge, change file systems and has other advanced partitioning features.
How do I backup my files? 2007-03-29 11:29:00 Backups can be created manually or using software to automate the process. I prefer doing manual bi-monthly backup
s by burning all my data to a data CD, since I keep all of my stuff in one folder, with categorized sub-folders.You can also use the backup utility built into Windows. For Windows 95/98 users, click on Tools from a drive’s properties and click Backup Now. For Windows XP Pro users Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup. Unfortunately Windows XP Home users have to install this feature from the CD; locate “CD-ROM Drive:VALUEADDMSFTNTBACKUP” and click NTbackup.msi to install it. Windows backup utility will also copy system files
and settings to the backup file.You can also copy all your data, music files and other stuff to a partition other than the root (C:) so if Windows get corrupted you can simply format the C: drive. Or better yet, copy your data to a partition on another hard disk (if you have one) in case the whole hard disk seems
Which file system should I use, NTFS or FAT32? Which is better? 2007-03-29 11:28:00 NTFS or New Technology File System was developed and used with Windows NT 4.0 and now in Windows 2000/XP/2003 and is way advanced. Compared to FAT 32, it gives slower bootup times but applications start faster when loaded. NTFS is less prone to crashes but if your Windows does get corrupted [which is rare], you’ll get a difficult time repairing it. In this case you have to run the Recovery Console from the Windows CD, as Windows startup disks are not able to access NTFS partitions. NTFS has built-in fault tolerance capabilities that record changes to your hard disk so it can repair your data incase of power failure and therefore maintains a huge log file. NTFS repairs hard disk errors automatically. If it can’t write to a particular section it will routinely mark it as a bad sector. With NTFS, you can set permissions for accessibility on individual files and folders for security reasons, you can’t with FAT32. You can set disk quotas that let you define how much hard disk space yo Read more:better
How do I permanently erase data? 2007-03-29 11:28:00 Did you know that deleting files from your recycle bin does not mean that they are erased and they can be recovered? They are still on your hard disk but their references have been removed from the file system and allocated as free space. They are overwritten as new files get saved. Advanced recovery software scans the physical surface of the hard disk and recovers all data, even the chat message that you deleted a year back as recovered files.Panic! So how can I totally destruct my unwanted data? Eraser, which is freeware developed by Heidi Computers, uses pseudorandom writing techniques to overwrite your free space and totally erase data. It also lets you create a boot nuke disc to totally wipe out the hard disk and leave no traces.
How do I boost my startup speed? 2007-03-29 11:25:00 The most effective way is to upgrade your PC or buy a newer, faster machine. However not everyone can afford this option, therefore we suggest the following alternatives:1) Increase your RAM. For Windows XP we recommend a minimum of 256MB of RAM, and 128MB for Windows 98/ME users. It is suggested that your PC have a minimum of 256MB RAM to support newer applications.Upgrading to more memory than that will provide a minimum performance gain in terms of startup, because each operating system when booting occupies a certain size in the memory; when this requirement is met, an increase does not make a difference.2) Use faster RAM. Memory modules measure their speed in MHz. Using a faster module will increase daily usage performance in opening applications or performing I/O operations. SDRAM comes in speeds of 100/133 MHz, while faster DDR SDRAM comes in speeds of 200/266/333 and 400 MHz. They are also denoted as PC1600, PC2100, PC2700 and PC3200 respectively. The PC number shows the maxim

Simple ways to increase your computer's performace - Configuring the paging file 2007-04-12 00:10:00 If your computer has begun to slow down after several months of usage, there a a couple of minor changes you can make to your settings that will help increase the performance of your computer. Tweaking Windows is essential to get the maximum performance for your computer. Even on a fast computer, if the settings are incorrect, the computer will perform poorly.Virtual Memory Settings:Virtual memory for your computer is hard drive space used by Windows when it fills up the physical RAM. Let's say you have a computer that has 256MB of RAM and you're running several applications at once that might need a total of 400MB of memory. Windows will fill up the 256MB and then use the free space on the hard drive to store the rest. This is called the Paging file or Virtual memory and Windows will increase and decrease the size of this file as needed. Writing to disk takes much longer than writing to physical RAM, so when Windows uses the paging file

Simple ways to increase your computer's performace - Defragmenting your hard drive 2007-04-12 00:09:00 Continuing on with the simple ways to speed up your computer, the next item has been around for a long time, but it's value is still very clear. Defragging your hard drive
every once in a while is very important because over time as your computer reads and writes small and large files, the files may end up being written onto non-consecutive parts of the disk.You may have noticed that when you first buy your computer, it runs very smoothly and quickly. But over time, after you install and uninstall applications, download music, delete videos, etc, the computer begins to lag behind and becomes slow. This is because when the disk is initially empty, any new data put on it is written in a single contiguous block. So when the operating system has to read the data, it can find it all in one place. Eventually though, you uninstall an application or delete some music files and those empty areas are now in between other pieces of data. When something new is written to the disk, it fills up the Read more:Simple

Simple ways to increase your computer's performace - Stopping the Startup Programs! 2007-04-12 00:08:00 if you have tons of programs loading up that you don't use anymore, then they are basically doing nothing but slowing your computer down and should be disabled so they don't load automatically.If you occasionally use the program, that's not a problem because when you do decide to use it, clicking on it will load it up. However, all the major software writers like to load themselves up into memory immediately so that in case you use their program, it can load up quickly. This is fine for programs that you use often, but how many times a day to you open QuickTime or Adobe reader? And does 5 extra seconds really matter more than being able to logon quickly!Disabling startup programs can greatly increase the speed of your computer and usually will not adversely affect your computer because as I mentioned earlier, the programs will be loaded automatically when you click on them. I find this model of load when needed rather than everything being loaded at once to make more sense!Managing Read more:Simple
