<p><strong><i>Question by </i>: how to speed up an old computer?</strong><br />
my computer has gone so slow, what should I do to improve it?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by arouge1786</i><br />To speed up your computer and free up space and memory for free:</p>
<p>Go to the Start Menu> Run<br />
Type in &#8220;appwiz.cpl&#8221;<br />
Uninstall whatever you don&#8217;t need.</p>
<p>Next, go to Start> Run and type in &#8220;msconfig&#8221;.<br />
Go to the Startup Tab and uncheck everything you don&#8217;t want to startup. If you want, you can uncheck everything, and your anti-virus will still restart itself when you log on.</p>
<p>Now go to My Computer> Hard Drive> Documents and Settings> [USER NAME]> Local Settings> and delete everything inside the Temp Folder. (This is a hidden folder so you will need to have &#8220;show hidden files and folders&#8221; checked in Folder Options) All the files in this folder are just temporary files that your Internet stored for certain websites.</p>
<p>Next, you should install CCleaner; it will get rid of alot of temporary files on your computer. It also has a registry repair system, which is easily the best free one available on the Internet:</p>
<p>http://www.ccleaner.com/download</p>
<p>Another option is to try defragmenting your computer.<br />
Go to the Start Menu and go to All Programs<br />
Go to Accessories and System Tools.<br />
Choose Disk Defragmenter and when it loads click defragment.</p>
<p>Next, go to Device Manger (Start> RightClick My Computer> Properties> Hardware Tab> Device Manager) and expand all listings. Now rightclick and update all drivers.</p>
<p>Another thing I would say is to compress your files if you already haven&#8217;t.<br />
Open My Computer and right click on your hard drive<br />
Check the Compress Drive button and let it do its thing.</p>
<p>Finally, make sure your Hard Drive doesn&#8217;t have any bad sectors. Go to My Computer> Right Click Hard Drive> Properties> Tools Tab> Check Now> Check both boxes and Start. It will ask you to reboot, so reboot. This will clear out any bad sectors on your Hard Drive.</p>
<p>These are short-term solutions however. The easiest way is to just upgrade the RAM on your system, but at least the ways above are free. And honestly, as long as you have at least 15% free space on you hard drive, it won&#8217;t slow your computer down, just the programs taking the space will. If you are interested in making your computer faster, I wouldn&#8217;t recommend installing Windows security updates, as these will pill up on your computer. They make the computer safer and more stable, but not faster. </p>
<p>Hope that helps~</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 30, 2012
<p> In light of the recent Washington winter storm, Seattle electrician, Mr. Sparky, shares expertise about electrical and heating products.  Many homeowners waste a great deal of money and energy through inefficient lighting and heating.  Recent innovations have provided excellent consumer home products.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Lighting Solutions</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>There are a number of sustainable solutions that can help reduce utility bills each month, while giving residents the piece of mind that comes from ?green living?.  A big movement in recent years has been the switch from traditional light bulbs to halogen or LED light bulbs.  The typical LED light bulb only uses about 5-15% the energy required by a traditional incandescent light bulb.  While there may be some initial cost outlay in the process of changing out the home?s lights, homeowners will see dramatic savings to their electricity bill due to the increased efficiency and extended life of the sustainable lighting alternative.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Temporary Power Solutions</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>As the winter storms roll through the Pacific Northwest, many residents find themselves without power for hours or even days at a time.  While crews work to restore power, life gets interrupted while modern devices can?t be used.  In many rural areas, a generator is a wise idea where power outages are more frequent and a longer lasting occurrence in the winter and spring.  While a generator can easily be purchased at most major home hardware stores, a certified electrician can make a better assessment of the required power supply for the appliances in the home.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>A common occurrence during winter storms are ?black outs? and ?brown outs?.  These fluctuations in power can cause damage to electronic devices in the home ? specifically home entertainment centers and computers.  A boon to homeowners are surge protectors and UPS systems (uninterrupted power supply).  These products will protect electronics from the spikes in power typical of winter storms and, in the case of uninterrupted power supplies, allow users to safely shut down their systems and save valuable computer projects.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>While many energy saving techniques fall in the Do It Yourself category, it is a good idea to consult with a certified electrician to tackle the more involved projects.  Seattle electrician, Mister Sparky, provides cutting-edge, high-quality products and services to prepare homes for inclement weather.</p>

When i try and burn the disk from my iTunes from my old computer it doesnt work because when i put the disk into my new computer they just come up as still blank. Please help me! Best answer: Answer by Graham LMake sure you&#8217;re new computer has a DVD-rom drive that can read the type of disc you&#8217;re using. Check the disc type, is it DVD+R, or DVD-R, or is it maybe DVD+RW, DVD-RW? Check the drive on your new computer to make sure it can read the type of DVD disc you&#8217;ve used. Also, check that the old computer is actually burning the DVD correctly by inserting it into the old computer and browsing the contents. As a double check, try loading the DVD into another computer (a friends maybe?) and see what happens. This will help you determine whether it&#8217;s the disc or the new computer.

You need to go into your control panel and then to power options and select from the drop-down list located on the advanced tab that when you press the power button to shut-down.  then you need to run not only your antivirus but also run an adware scan as well&#8230;..you can find free programs like spybot search and destroy, spyware blaster, and adaware at www.download.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Geneva, Switzerland (PRWEB) December 04, 2011
<p> United Nations? specialized agency the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber Threats (IMPACT) yesterday held the world?s first cross border drill exercise by an international organization and a United Nations agency.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The inaugural cyber-drill was launched by ITU-IMPACT ALERT (Applied Learning for Emergency Response Team), and comprised a simulated cyber attack response linking the Computer Emergency Response Team/Computer Incident Response Teams (CERT/CIRT) of Cambodia, Lao P.D.R., Myanmar and Viet Nam (the CLMV countries) with executing experts from ITU-IMPACT. The one-day drill was held in conjunction with the ITU-ASEAN Sub-regional CSIRT/CIRT/CERT Workshop for CLMV countries in Yangon, Myanmar.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>IMPACT, the cybersecurity executing arm of ITU, is the largest cybersecurity alliance of its kind in the world, with 137 partner countries now formally part of the ITU-IMPACT coalition, and with strong support from global industry giants, partners from academia and international organizations.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The cyber drill was a simulated and coordinated exercise to assess the cybersecurity emergency readiness of CLMV countries and their incident response capabilities in mitigating and countering cyber attacks. The exercise helped build greater international cooperation between participating countries, and improved their communication and mitigation processes. It was also unique in that it was deliberately designed to involve countries with differing developing status ? one rapidly growing developing country (Viet Nam) and three UN-designated Least Developed Countries ? Cambodia, Lao P.D.R and Myanmar. That meant that the exercise was able to take into account the real-life constraints faced by many economies in the developing world. An important aspect of the drill was the involvement of countries at the regional level.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>?Cyber attacks are borderless, so it is vital for every CERT/CIRT to share information and experience on cross-border incident handling, in order to refine and test points of contact and procedures, to enhance the effectiveness of their response to active cyber threats,? said ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Tour</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Image by chriggy1 Question by LEON: Should I repair my laptop or buy another one? At the moment I have a HP Compaq nc6220. It has a fault freezing up all the time ( I think some chip on the mother board is faulty MAX 1987 or something&#8230;) any way it&#8217;s gonna cost about £200 to fix.

<p><strong>Three Reasons to Buy a Used Nano Online</strong></p>
<p>Article  by Jack Spence</p>
<p>The Apple iPod is one of the most popular consumer products to come along in the last decade. Since their first appearance in late 2001, Apple has produced many models of the iPod. One of the most popular iPod models is the Nano. In fact there have been three generations of the Nano; beginning with the 1 GB with only picture viewing capabilities right on up to the 8 GB Nano which gave its owner the ability to actually watch video.</p>
<p>These multi-generational releases has resulted in thousands of Nano owners upgrading to the latest model. Consequently thousands of Nanos have found their way onto online auction sites such as eBay making them available to anyone looking to buy a used iPod Nano online.</p>
<p>But just because they&#8217;re available online, why should anybody want to buy a used iPod Nano online? In my opinion, there are many reasons to buy a used iPod Nano online, but here are my top three.</p>
<p>Price! Price! And Price!</p>
<p>The biggest reason that people will consider buying a used iPod online is because of the price. It is one of the factors that made sites such as eBay so popular to begin with. We&#8217;ve all heard stories of someone buying a computer, a rare collectible, or even a car on eBay at a fraction of the price that they would have paid in a bricks and mortar store. As result, millions of people every day log onto eBay hoping to become part of one of those stories.</p>
<p>And of course it&#8217;s true. Every day people find the exact the iPod Nano in the exact color with the exact accessories that they need at a fraction of the price that they would pay. Sometimes, they&#8217;re even able to get a bargain on a completely new iPod Nano.</p>
<p>Security</p>
<p>It sounds strange to say that buying on eBay can be safer than buying in a bricks and mortar store from someone you deal with in person. This is because experienced eBay sellers have a profile for everyone to see. This means that you will know how others, who have purchased things from the same seller, feel about them as reflected in their feedback scores. Consequently, their reputation is available for anyone to see-unlike the clerk or owner at an electronics store.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll know whether they are straight shooter or scammer, whether they deliver on time or deliver late. And most importantly you will know exactly what you will be paying for. EBay makes this transaction transparent.</p>
<p>Selection</p>
<p>Every day millions of people try to sell millions of things to millions of other people. This is especially true for a popular item such as the Apple iPod Nano. As a result you will be able to choose not just from one, but from several of the iPod Nanos that appeal to you. You have a choice of colors. Sizes. Generation. The amount of memory. And price points.</p>
<p>The combination of price, security, and selection ensures that you get what you want, at the price you want, and all the while having the security of knowing the exact reputation of the seller you&#8217;re dealing with.

<p>Article  by Steven Liou</p>
<p>Many people care about their laptop(<a target="_blank" target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.power-depot.co.uk/laptop_battery/sony/nsn042.html">Sony VGP-BPS8A battery</a>) cpu temperature, especially in summer. Now I would tell you guys the real thing. Notebook ideal temperature is not higher than the ambient temperature of 30 degrees, so we can use the environment according to their own books to judge.</p>
<p>CPU temperature is too high will cause the computer to crash. For laptop will cause the fan speed operation, resulting in the machine noise is too large. CPU temperature is too high may be caused by defective design, program load too heavy, fan failure or dust to blur. Therefore be preferable to monitor the CPU temperature, timely detection of problems. And reduce the cpu can extend the life of the issue.</p>
<p>When the temperature is too high, you can check the computer through the Task Manager&#8217;s performance, if it is too high cpu load may be too low, computer configuration, run the program too much, or computer with a virus (if the suspect, quickly check narcotics, can first use the free online scans). If the CPU load is no problem, you need to check the fan is working, cpu fan and dust the surface is too much.</p>
<p>As far as possible their own laptop(<a target="_blank" target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://power-depot.co.uk/discount-laptop-battery.htm">laptop battery</a>) CPU temperature at 75 degrees or less, not more than 85 degrees, Note: This refers to the temperature of a notebook CPU core temperature, which is detected by the CPU master Lu temperature.</p>
<p> * How to control and prevention</p>
<p>In order to control the temperature, you can do the following:1, view the CPU usage to see is not what the software is running in the background or in the virus;2, air conditioning (cooling and air conditioning thermostat related);3, replace the CPU fan clean up dust, checking the internal CPU silica gel (cooling effect may not);4, with the home fans and play on a good effect (cooling effect of wind into the area about 4-9 degrees);5, padded laptops and desktop height (about 2-6 degrees cool);6, buy a notebook(<a target="_blank" target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.power-depot.co.uk/laptop_battery/replacement-battery-for-dell/nde059.html">Dell inspiron 6400 battery</a>) cooling pad (about temperature 4-15 degrees).7, not their laptops on a blanket or bed to run, these materials are not conducive to laptop(<a target="_blank" target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.power-depot.co.uk/laptop_battery/replacement-battery-for-dell/nde059.html">Dell Inspiron 1501 Battery</a>) heat, if we must run, then buy a notebook cooling pad.</p>
<p>For laptop, buy a cooling pad is a good way or download a software monitoring and cooling. And CPU Idle Extreme and CPU Cool are good results, you can search them from google.com.</p>
<p>Hopes that can help you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Palo Alto, California (PRWEB) February 02, 2012
<p> Route 140, the introductory game of the Tweet Land platform, is now available for download on the Apple AppStore starting January 31st. Tweet Land is the first gaming platform in the world that plays with reality. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>?It&#8217;s time to get on the race car and live a great adventure: escaping tsunamis, zombies, meteorites, motorcycle gangs and many events happening at this very moment on the Twitter social network,? said the Tweet Land team from Costa Rica. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The game was officially launched on January 30th in San Jose, in a meeting with the press and special guests in the historical building Antigua Aduana, from the Costa Rican Ministry of Culture and Youth. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The game is designed for iPhone and its download costs  $  1.99.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With a combination of retro images and a lively original soundtrack, Tweet Land is a game where the user gets a different experience everytime, and it changes according to the conversations being held online. It is the before and after of videogames, in which social networks come to life and feed a parallel world.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Everything that people say around the world in the famous microblogging network affects the game scenes. Although the tweets are responsible for developing the game, the user does not need a Twitter account to play. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>?We want to go further. We want to reinvent real-time gaming and give life to social experiences that occur every day from real live people. Route 140 is the first step,? they said. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It will soon be the turn of Love City, the second game of the series where, in a city full of people, a huge anti-care bear will defend itself from suffocating hugs. His defense will be a weapon that is loaded with &#8220;hate-tweets.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>SHARED FEELINGS&#13;<br />
<br />?It was motivating, we are very grateful for the support that so many people have given us and we have worked with dedication so that you can enjoy the game with pleasure,? said the Tweet Land Team. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The blast came to influential media and specialist websites around the world including CNN, Wired, San Francisco Chronicle, The International Game Developers Association, Indie Games, MacStories and TouchArcade, who joined in the excitement of Tweet Land since 2011, when the project was presented at the fundraising website for innovative ideas Kickstarter.com. ?Wonderful idea,? says Touch Arcade, one of the leading specialist website in videogames around the world, ?it expands the boundaries of what can be achieved with social networking,? highlighted Springwise, ?very original concept,? assured Tap Player. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Creators Project initiative from Intel and VICE, predicted that ?this game is on the fast track to becoming a phenomenon,? as well as Trend Hunter, one of the largest online global communities in innovation which said that ?Tweet Land is the perfect blend of retro style and an innovative game that will be a hit among casual gamers.? </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>IDEA AND INTERACTIVITY FUSION&#13;<br />
<br />The innovative gaming platform was created by WHY Ideas and Tree Interactive, two Costa Rican companies that develop cutting-edge business oriented products and concepts. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>

<p><strong>Network Marketing Online</strong></p>
<p>Article  by Abdi Mohammed</p>
<p><b>Network marketing</b> can be explained as the process of building networks of people who buy and sell products. With the advent of the Internet this process has become a whole lot easier, as there are no geographical barriers anymore and you can literally build a worldwide network. </p>
<p>Network marketing is a great concept in business as it is a low cost and effective marketing method; it is based on the wonderful notion of word of mouth. A simple illustration would be someone with network marketing company selling health products: they start using the product and recommend to their friends, who then recommend to their friends and so on. Before long that person&#8217;s &#8216;network&#8217; has grown to hundreds and maybe thousands of people; with the right commission structure, they could earn a substantial sum. </p>
<p>As noted from above, there are clear advantages to network marketing online and some are listed below:</p>
<p>1. You have a global audience to market to and you can probably work from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. </p>
<p>2. With the right marketing system in place, your network marketing online business can be working for you 24/7.</p>
<p>3. Ability to test, tweak and evaluate your marketing methods</p>
<p>4. Low marketing costs as opposed to offline marketing methods</p>
<p>Network marketing in the &#8216;old&#8217; days would probably mean (as an example) handing out promotional leaflets (with your phone number) to friends, family, associates and the general public and receiving phone calls from prospects. That&#8217;s all well and good, but I don&#8217;t know about you but I don&#8217;t quite fancy getting a phone call from a prospect 7 in the morning! However, with network marketing online you can now set up a website, invite prospects to enter their e-mail address and follow up with a series of e-mails using an autoresponder. This method is far more effective and can work for you &#8216;whilst you sleep&#8217;. Another example would be posting and participating in forums where your target audience congregate (you can market to these people by inputting a link to your website in your signature). How would you have had a direct way of marketing to a group in your target audience in the past? </p>
<p>The above examples show why network marketing online can bring greater success. However, you still need the fundamentals:</p>
<p>* Reputable Network Marketing company* Solid marketing and follow up system</p>
<p>With all the above in mind we can see that the powerful concept of Network Marketing combined with the fantastic medium that is the Internet can create great success and income. But you do need hard work and consistency to produce a proven online business that can act as your cash cow!</p>

<p><strong>A Buyer&#8217;s Guide to Finding the Best Laptop Deals</strong></p>
<p>Article  by Simon Jennings</p>
<p>As computer technology has advanced, all types of computers have come down in cost and are more affordable to the general public. Most people can work in the expense of purchasing a laptop computer, making them a widely sold computer style for both business and personal use. Still, it doesn&#8217;t make sense to pay too much for your laptop. By using the following strategies, you can save big on your next laptop purchase.</p>
<p><b>Know Your Needs</b></p>
<p>There are dozens of different types of laptops, ranging from those with basic capabilities all the way to professional models. While it can be fun to have a lot of bells and whistles on your laptop, you will pay more for these options. You can save big by choosing a model that meets your needs without a lot of extra features. In addition, knowing what you need will help you determine which discounted models are right for you. </p>
<p><b>Plug In</b></p>
<p>One of the best ways to find the best laptop deals is to use the power of the Internet. Almost every company provides information on their available computers via their website. In addition, some of the best discount and voucher codes are only published online. Even if your preferred manufacturer does not publish their prices publicly via the Internet, you should be able to get an idea of what any model costs at partnering retailers or via an auction service. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples by looking at things like CPU speed, hard drive size and screen dimensions. </p>
<p><b>Watch the Cycles</b></p>
<p> Like almost all product categories, computers have specific sale cycles. During certain times of the year, you are more likely to find bargains and sales on laptop computers. The best times to find bargain-basement prices on a laptop computer are the back-to-school months and right around the Christmas season. Be aware that some of these laptop deals are available in limited quantities and for a limited time. However, if you time it right, you could end up with a high-quality model for an entry-level price.</p>
<p><b>It&#8217;s All About Competition</b></p>
<p>Both computer manufacturers and the stores that sell the models are highly competitive. Because of this, smart consumers never pay too much. Many stores will match the best advertised price offered by their competitors. The trick to using this savings strategy is to know the rules. In most cases, you will need to bring proof of the advertised price and make sure that the models you are matching are identical, including the brand and features. Also, before you match a competitor&#8217;s price, check whether the store or manufacturer has a voucher code available; using the discount may result in a better price than the advertised sale. Many voucher codes cannot be used in conjunction with a price match, but if they can be stacked, you will save even more. </p>

<p> This video promises to have absolute beginners of all ages in moments?no matter this age.  Dyce?s ability to get students playing the guitar right away is winning him lots of new students.  First, Dyce shows students the right information.  More importantly, he then immediately shows them how to apply that information to make great, fun-to-play music.  With Dyce?s guidance, any student can turn notes into chords, and chords into cool-sounding grooves.  This Fort Lauderdale guitar teacher has methods are so easy that anyone watching this video will be able to quickly play the groove in question?even if they are picking up the guitar for the first time.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Dyce?s lesson #4 covers just the chords D Major and G Major.  Dyce isolates these two chords, showing their similarities and differences.  Both have lots of open strings, and warm, happy sounds.  Dyce also urges his students to not get hung upon the fingerings, or making the chords sound ?perfect.?  Instead, he gets students to jump right into the groove, by focusing on switching back and forth between the two sounds.  This gives beginning guitarists a real confidence boost?as they start playing a great-sounding jam right away.  It also helps that the video features expert production?complete with easy-to-read graphics?where students can clearly see how to finger both chords on the fret-board. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>This Weston guitar teacher also gives some great advice to approaching the guitar that any beginner can use: don?t spend too much time staring at the fret-board.  Many beginning students spend too much time staring at their hands, making them fall prey to bad habits later on, like bad posture, and bad form.  By urging students to not look at their hands?from the very first lesson?Dyce is getting these beginners to play with more confidence, and avoid some common bad habits.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Dyce?s 1-on-1 Weston guitar lessons and Skype guitar lessons are popular for a reason: they make learning just so easy.  All that is required is a high-speed internet connection, a webcam and mic?standard on any newer computer, a Skype account (easy to create), and headphones (optional). </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>For more information on Dyce?s latest video?or signing up for lessons via Skype?call 786 457 3687 today.</p>
