When you bought your new PC it was fast. A huge improvement over the old machine.But just a year later the PC has slowed down dramatically. The time taken to start has increased from a few seconds to several minutes.

Shutting-down now takes forever. Loading programs and saving documents has become very slow. What has caused your PC to become so slow so quickly and what can you do to enhance its speed?

PCs running under the Windows operating system slow down very quickly for a number of reasons.

Data fragmentation

As files are added and deleted on your machine, file fragmentation takes place. Think of a brand new pack of cards. All of the hearts are together and in sequence. If you need to access the 8, 9, 10 and Ace of hearts, it is a very quick process to find them. But once the cards have been shuffled, the process becomes much longer.

Spyware, Tojan Horses and viruses

If you machine does not have anti-spyware software installed, there is a 99% probability that your computer is infested. It can happen within a few seconds of connecting an unprotected machine to the Internet. Trojan Horses operate just like Trojan horses in ancient Troy. They conceal themselves within your system work their and start working their evil. Many anti-virus and anti-spyware packages do not deal with these effectively. Viruses do more than just slow down your machine. They could render it unusable! Read more…

The following describes how to extend the battery life using Power Management and/or your computers power saving feature. These are some tips especially for the Sony VAIO Laptop users because each laptop has different functions and options to save up battery. Check out these top 5 power management tips for increasing battery life.

1. Decrease LCD brightness
Select a lower LCD brightness level for the setup item, LCD Brightness, of VAIO Power Management. The smaller the level number is, the darker the LCD turns and the longer the battery lasts.Select an LCD brightness level among from Level 9 ( light) to Level 1 (dark). When No Change is selected both for Plugged in and Running on batteries, note that changing the power supply source does not affect the LCD brightness. You can change the LCD brightness, for example, with the keyboard of your computer. For more information, see the manual of your computer. On some models of the computer, Adaptive is additionally available for selection. When Adaptive is selected, the ambient luminance is measured for automatic adjustment of the LCD brightness.
2. Use the power saving feature
Select VAIO Maximum Battery or VAIO Ultimate Battery in the Power schemes drop-down list on the Power Schemes tab. The selected power scheme option is displayed for Power Scheme on the Power Schemes tab. VAIO Ultimate Battery may not be available for selection, depending on the model of your computer. Provided for reducing power consumption by lowering the operation clock of the video chip. Select On or Off. Selecting On reduces power consumption.
3. Save power when not using your computer
When you temporarily leave your desk, place your computer on Standby. Standby refers to placing your computer in power saving mode while retaining the current work state. To place your computer on Standby, click Start, Power Options, and then Standby.
When you are not using your computer for a while, place your computer into Hibernate. Hibernate refers to shutting down your computer after saving the current work state into the hard disk. To place your computer into Hibernate, press and hold the Fn key and press the F12 key.
To use the battery longer, place your computer on Standby as often as possible. When you are not using your computer for a while, place your computer into Hibernate; and when you are not using it for the time being, shut down your computer.
You can recover the previous work state of your computer faster when your computer is in Hibernate than when it is shut down. If your computer is on Standby, it takes a much shorter time to recover the work state as compared with recovery from Hibernate.
4. Disconnect unused peripheral device.
Unplug the connector of unused peripheral devices from your computer. Select Enable, Disable, or No Change to specify power management of the Memory Stick slot. Selecting Disable disables the Memory Stick slot but reduces power consumption of your computer. When No Change is selected both for Plugged in and Running on batteries, note that changing the power supply source does not affect the power management of the Memory Stick slot.
5. Turn down the volume. Read more…

1. In the Profiles settings of Nokia, there is an option: speak out the name to be called and choose open. Then go back to the laptop and press clock for seconds. It will succeed in calling wanted person via speaking out the name of his.

This function is realized by the software built in the cell phone itself that can recognize the voice calling. It seems that the function will take up much space.

However, it is not suggested to use the function, since its success rate is very low and always there is the problem like this: call jack but jane appears. If your voice is nearly same as that of computer, it will be good. You can do like this. In addition, you can use these two functions at the same time, 3D ringing and speaking out the name to be called, otherwise, the cell phone system will be halted.

2. If you didnt uninstall the program according to the common method, the cell phone may prompt you that the installation failed when you install the same program once again.

Maybe it is a detailed adjustment to the 3rd generation Nokia S60 for the security. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful for the installation and the uninstallation for the programs.

The important tips for the software installation of N95! Many friends can not run the program after installing *.Jar. Below is the solution:

b. If you want to manage *.Jar original installation file well, I suggest that you can create a folder, and put the English files *.Jar into it, as it is convenient to the classification.

By the way, the precious version of handay clock software is not compatible with N95 and when you open the clock function to work for you, then the multi-media button will become invalid. Note: higher than 4.02 version can be installed to work well for this function. As long as the normal JAR program for N95 can run, it just has the differences between full screen and the half screen.

3. N95 can look through the zoom of DOC documents. XLS files can be modified by the ranks of size, translation, the freezing window operation. PPT files can be displayed as the method of the full screen. As the version of FLASH players is a bit lower and larger flash will not be played. So will PPT, word, and excel.

4. If you want to install the theme of Nokia N95 into the cell phone as much as possible. If you install the theme into the card, it will recover automatically to the default theme when you restart the cell phone.

Two methods of the theme installation:

a. Copy the theme installation software (SIS or SISX format) into the cell phone card and use Y–browse to complete the installation.

b. Use card reader or data connection of the data cable to copy the decompressed theme folder into the cell phone card. The path is X:\private\10207114\import\ (suppose X is the memory card).

The comparison between these two installation methods:

a. The process of the installation is very simple but it will auto create a file under the path: C:\sys\install\sisregistry. For example,

C:\sys\install\sisregistry\a00000eb\00000002_0000.ctl. This will take up too much space of hard drive C
