2 Top 20 Tips To Keep Your System Faster

Follow these tips and you will definitely have a much faster and more reliable
PC! Most of the below tips works for windows XP.

1. Wallpapers: They
slow your whole system down, so if you're willing to compromise, have a basic
plain one instead!

2. Drivers: Update your hardware drivers as
frequently as possible. New drivers tend to increase system speed especially in
the case of graphics cards, their drivers are updated by the manufacturer very
frequently!

3. Minimizing: If you want to use several programs at the
same time then minimize those you are not using. This helps reduce the overload
on RAM.

4. Boot Faster: The 'starting Windows 95/98' message on startup
can delay your booting for a couple of seconds. To get rid of this message go to
c: and find the file Msdos.sys. Remove the Read-Only option. Next, open it in
Notepad or any other text editor. Finally, go to the text 'Options' within the
file and make the following changes: Add BootDelay=0. To make your booting even
faster, set add Logo=0 to remove the Windows logo at startup.

5. Restart
only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to only restart Windows
rather than the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time.


6. Turn Off Animations: Go to Display Settings from the Control Panel
and switch to the Effects Tab. Now turn off Show Windows Content While Dragging
and Smooth Edges on Screen Fonts. This tip is also helpful with Windows XP
because of the various fade/scroll effects.

7. Faster Start-Menu Access:
Go to the Start menu and select Run. Now type Regedit and hit Enter. The
Registry Editor will appear on the screen. Now, open the folder HKEY_CURRENT_
USERControl PanelDesktop. You should see a MenuShowDelay value. If you don't
then do the following: right click on a blank space in the right pane and select
NewString. Change the name in the new value to MenuShowDelay. Now that we have
the MenuShowDelay value, double click on it and enter 0 in the value data field.
This sets the start menu delay to 0 milliseconds.

8. Resolutions: If you
are willing to do anything for faster performance from your PC, then try
lowering your display resolution. The lower it is, the faster your PC.


9. Turn off Active Desktop: Go to your Display Properties and switch to
the Web tab. Uncheck View My Active Desktop As a Web Page. Since the Active
Desktop option under Windows 98 uses a lot of system resources, this option can
have a dramatic effect on the speed of the whole system.

10. Defragment
Often: Windows 98's Defrag tool uses Application Acceleration from Intel which
means that when you defragment your drive, data is physically arranged on the
drive so that applications will load faster.



11. Take your PC to
Bed: Using the Advanced Power Management feature under Windows 98 gives you the
option to use the sleep command. That way, you can send your PC to sleep instead
of shutting it down and then restarting it. It's as simple as pressing a button
and then pressing the same button to wake it up. You can tell Windows after how
many minutes/hours of inactivity to automatically sleep the machine in the
Advanced Power Management section of the Control Panel.

12. Faster
Internet Access: If you use the Internet for reference and the sites you visit
are rarely updated then try the following. In IE (the same can be done in
Netscape) go to Tools, Internet Options. Next, click on Settings... In the
Temporary Internet Files section. Finally, select Never for the first option and
double the amount of storage space to use, click OK!

13. Benchmarking:
Benchmarking can be very useful when run frequently. It can tell you how your
PC's components are performing and then compare them to other machines like
yours. For example, when you overclock your PC, you want to know how much more
speed you have and whether it is stable. All this and more can be discovered
using benchmarking. An excellent piece of software for doing this job is SiSoft
Sandra which can be found in the Downloads File Archive!

14. Refresh the
Taskbar without restarting: If you in some way change the taskbar, either in
Regedit or elsewhere, you can refresh the task bar without restarting. Hold down
Ctrl Alt Del, and double click on Explorer. Say Yes to close Explorer, but no to
closing Windows. This will refresh the Taskbar and system tray.

15.
Quick CD Eject: Instead of pushing the button on your drive, right-click your CD
drive letter in My Computer and click on Eject. This will also remove any icons
that have become associated with the CD drive.

16. Start Up Programs:
Windows can be slowed down when programs run on start up. To eliminate this,
check your Start up folder. You can access it from the start menu: Start,
Programs, Start Up. Another way to eliminate programs from loading even before
Windows actually starts is by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run.
Type msconfig. It will take quite a long time for this program to load, but when
you finally see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to
do with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck what you
don't want!

17. Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font
in the Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting
process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder under
c:windows and remove whatever you don't want. Fonts that have a red letter 'A'
as their icon are system fonts, so don't delete them.

18. Stretching
Wallpapers: Don't "stretch" your wallpaper in Windows 98 since it actually slows
Windows down when you drag icons around on the desktop.

19. RAM Matters:
If you have less than 32MB then you should seriously think of upgrading it to at
least 64MB. Windows runs much more smoothly with 64MB or higher and tends to use
less hard disk space for virtual memory.

20. Partitioning: A very nice
little thing you can do to boost system performance. By partitioning your hard
drive, splitting one physical drive into several logical ones, you can gain
several advantages.
1. If you get a virus or you accidentally format a
drive, not all will be lost.
2. By placing the swap file (Win386.swp) on a
separate drive, The swap file will be less fragmented and thus, faster.
3.
Place Windows on a separate drive and whenever you need to reinstall it, you
rest assured that your data is safe on a separate drive. Partitioning can be
done using a few programs such as FDisk which comes with DOS. However, FDisk
formats everything on the hard disk before partitioning. Alternatively, you can
use Partition Magic from Power Quest to partition your hard disk without losing
your data.

0 Computer Electromechanical And Optical Mouse-Maintain And Keep Them Fit Without Problems-Part 1


In this post, I am going to tell you about some of the real working ideas from my experience to help you maintain your computer electromechanical (with trackball and buttons – mechanical parts and circuitry) and optical mouse (with light generation system, sensors for movement detection, buttonsPicture of Dell Vostro 400 optical mouse top view and click assembly – mechanical and electronic circuitry). I have used both electromechanical and optical mouse so far and this post covers the tips to maintain these two types of mouse.




Mouse is an important input device that makes working on graphical interface easier through moving the cursor, clicking the icon to select it, entering the input through press of a button and drag and drop etc. Imagine working on a GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen with menus, options, icons and operations that needs clicking, dragging and dropping and finding that when you drag your mouse, it goes haywire in some other direction Or you can doing single click and double click happens Or you are right clicking on desktop and none of the menu is appearing and similar mouse activities that stops working suddenly or works intermittently. These types of erratic movements and stopping of mouse operations happens normally due to dust and dirt in your mouse buttons, ball (in electromechanical mouse), sensors and scroll wheel assembly.
Here are the tips to maintain your PC mouse (electromechanical and optical) and keep it fit without any operational problems:
1. Don’t Let Dirt And Dust Go Inside Your PC Mouse
Keep the computer operational area clean and dirt free. Don’t eat and drink at your computer desk and cover the computer and mouse when not in use. The idea here is not to let the dirt and dust go inside the computer mouse (there are gaps between the mouse left click and right click buttons, scroll wheel (at top) and at the bottom – track ball and light sensor.
2. Use A Good Quality Mouse Pad and Keep It Clean
Don’t use a mouse pad that is crumpled and slippery or if you are directly operating a mouse moving it on your computer table (without a pad) then ensure that the surface is plain and clean. Operating an electromechanical – track ball mouse on slippery surface is bound to give the user problems in using it.
The mouse pad that I got with my Dell Vostro 400 didn’t turn out to be of good quality. It was very thin and got crumpled (making its surface like a tiny mountain) in few days. Also the mouse pad should not move when you move your mouse on it (if the pad is moving, stick it to the desk surface or wherever you are placing it).
3. Maintain A Small Preventive Maintenance Schedule


Everyday or may be alternate days, check your mouse and its pad and clean both of them with a good quality soft cloth (that doesn’t leave threads while cleaning or when pulled slightly) with little isopropyl alcohol on it (the cloth should have cleaning solution to make it moist enough not to be dropping from the cloth). Oh! Make sure that the computer is powered off when doing this cleaning operation on your mouse and mouse pad.
Use a mouse cover to put it on your computer mouse when it’s not in use for extended hours.
4. Be Nice And Gentle With Your PC Mouse
Your computer can sometimes malfunction due to some software or hardware issue while you are using your mouse in a program or installing new untested software on your PC. Don’t blame your mouse when your computer freezes and the mouse stops responding. I have seen people banging their computer mouse on the table even when their PC mouse is not responsible at all for the problem (Examples- Surfing not happening despite clicking on Refresh, response slow on an online GUI form leading to slow cursor movement and unfamiliarity with using the mouse in a drawing and editing software etc. – expecting a mouse operation whereas the SW doesn’t support that)
Picture of Dell Vostro 400 optical mouse bottom view
Banging your mouse hard can damage its mechanical (plastic casing, buttons, track ball, scroll wheel) and electronic parts – sensors, light generation and detection and printed circuit board.
The probability that even after you follow the above tips, you will have to clean the mouse from inside is high as some part of dust and dirt definitely will definitely go inside a computer mouse through the small gaps.
So, in next series of this post, I will write and show how to clean an optical mouse from inside. The internal cleaning may have to be done once in few months (3-6) depending on the volume of dust and dirt at your computer’s work environment.
I am sure that though the tips for maintaining your computer electromechanical and optical mouse are simple but they are definitely effective. Let me know if I am right :)
Did these tips help you at all? How do you maintain your computer mouse? Let me know.
Take care of your mouse – computer one and not the real one :)

0 Computer Electromechanical And Optical Mouse-Keep Them Fit Without Problems-Part 2

This post is going to help you in doing core maintenance of your wired electromechanical (trackball one) and wired optical mouse (with LED – Light Emitting Diode generating light and its detection) by giving you directions on their internal cleaning.
I don’t have an electromechanical mouse, so I won’t be able to show you the relevant pictures of its cleaning operation done from its back.
If you are facing problem with only dragging of your computer’s electromechanical mouse (the cursor going haywire) then you can do the following:
- Switch off your computer after its proper shutdown.
Pull out mouse cable from the back of the CPU and take it away at some distance so that the dirt and dust that you clean doesn’t go to the other parts of your computer. If that’s not possible as your mouse wire is fixed with other wires, don’t worry. Follow the same procedure as given next.
- Keep a sheet of clean newspaper/paper/cloth under the mouse and invert it so that the trackball part faces you.
There will be a circular plastic cap that will be stopping trackball from coming out yet allowing the mouse track ball to rotate. Check the direction of the arrows in which you have to move the circular cap to let the track ball come out. Normally, rotating the circular cap in anti clockwise direction removes trackball cap from its position and let the trackball comes out.
- After the trackball has come out, clean it thoroughly with a clean cotton cloth rinsed with isopropyl alcohol. You should clean the track ball until it appears clean and pleases you look wise without any dirt or grease on it. The purpose of cleaning track ball is to make it non-slippery and ultimate clean close to when it was new.
- Now with the cleaned trackball outside, you should similarly clean the three small sized wheels (has attached sensors to detect the mouse movement in a particular direction) that touch the periphery of trackball when it’s inside. You can use the cotton cloth rinsed with isopropyl alcohol to do so. While cleaning these three wheels, apply slight pressure and remove the dirt and grease etc. on their complete surface and wherever you could see inside the electromechanical mouse. You can also use a good quality brush rinsed with isopropyl alcohol to do thorough cleaning of optical mouse from inside.
- After the trackball and the mouse motion detecting wheels have been cleaned, you should fit the trackball back in the inverted mouse and tighten the circular plastic cap that holds the trackball in its position (Rotating in clockwise direction should do it). You can now connect the electromechanical mouse to the computer by connecting its connector back from where you pulled it out. After trackball and sensor wheels cleaning, your mouse movement should now be fine (if it was due to the dust and dirt only).
Now, On to internal cleaning operation of optical mouse that will help its users having problems in dragging, dropping, clicking and scrolling while using it. Yes, it can sometimes happen that you face all these problems simultaneously if you haven’t cleaned your optical mouse for months. My friends having electromechanical mouse with problems in right and left clicking can also get the clues of opening the mouse and cleaning the click assembly for the tips given next for optical mouse.
Kindly refer to the labeled picture of my DELL Vostro 400 optical mouse with top cover removed and all the main parts shown.
Dell Vostro 400 optical wired mouse internal view
The shown picture will give you clear idea of what I am writing next. So, here is what you can do to do a complete cleaning of your optical wired mouse:
- Shutdown and power off your computer whose optical mouse internal cleaning is to be done.
- Either remove the optical mouse connector from the back of the system so that you can take it way for cleaning or if you can’t do it, cover other parts of your computer so that they don’t get dirty.


- Place the optical mouse on a clean paper sheet/cloth and invert it so that the LED portion (bottom side that rests on the mouse pad/desk) faces you.
- Normally there is a screw at the lower bottom that keeps the lower plastic cover of the mouse tightened with the upper cover. Also the top plastic cover of the mouse has two plastic female rectangular grooves that fit in the male grooves of the lower plastic body. Remove the screw by untightening it with a star screwdriver with the bit size matching the screw and slim enough to go inside to reach the screw without causing any damage to the mouse screw hole.
- After removing the screw, invert the mouse back to its normal position – the scroll wheel and the left click and right click buttons facing you. There will be a gap between the top and the lower cover of the optical mouse and you can now apply slight force to increase the gap along the whole body of the mouse. You can see the upper back portion coming up. Now to pull out the upper front portion apply some force in the backward direction so that the female grooves in the mouse upper inside portion comes out of the male lower portion.
- Now the top portion of the mouse will come outside and you can see the left click button, right click button assembly (mechanical + electronics in the form of a box) on the PCB (printed circuit board) lower portion. You can now use a good quality brush rinsed with isopropyl alcohol to clean all the parts of the mouse including the top plastic casing, scroll wheel and sensors, LED assembly (after removing the PCB from its latches) and the left click and right click buttons sensors assembly. You can also clean the optical mouse connector also that fits into computer so that it makes better contact with your computer’s mouse connector.
- Allow few minutes for all the parts to dry and then physically confirm that they are not wet. BTW – Isopropyl alcohol is not good conductor of electricity, so even if it is slightly left on the PCB, it won’t harm your mouse and PC when powered ON. After, all the cleaned parts have been physically confirmed for drying, pack them back using now the reverse logic of disassembling them. The most important is to make sure that the upper plastic cover with female grooves fits in the male grooves of the lower mouse portion and the left click and right click buttons click is OK. Don’t forget to make sure that the LED glass cover at the bottom (below the PCB) is fitted properly.
- After you have tightened the screw (invert the mouse to do so) of the lower plastic cover with the upper cover, the mouse should be connected back to the computer.
From the steps given, this cleaning operation looks difficult but when you start doing it with some patience and logic, you will find it easy. It’s not rocket science :)
I am sure that after you have done the internal cleaning of your optical mouse as per the steps explained above, your optical mouse will start working normally – right click, left click, drag, drop, double click, scrolling – every mouse operation working fine as it used to work when the mouse was new.
Oh, in case, your time is invaluable and you don’t want to spend time (few minutes) in opening, cleaning and packing your computer mouse back, buy a new one! A brand new good quality wired optical mouse should not cost more than $ 20.
Did these mouse cleaning steps for electromechanical (with track ball) and optical mouse (with LED generation and detection) helped you? I hope yes!

0 Using Your Digital Camera Flash Memory Stick To Store and Transfer Files From One PC To Another in Emergency

This tip is to help my friends who sometimes don’t have secondary storage devices/media or network access to transfer files from one PC to another. In such cases, they can use their normal digital camera with flash memory stick and USB connectivity to transfer files from one computer to another remote computer.


People often think that the digital camera flash memory is only meant for transferring photo files from their camera to their PC/laptops. No! The flash memory stick of the digital camera is like a normal USB disk and can be used to store and transfer files (non photo format) from one computer to another.
More specific details of the scenario follow:
One of my friend came to me as Internet access at his office wasn’t working and he wanted to download files from my Internet connected PC and then carry them on his CD to the office.

After downloading the files, his CD didn’t get recognized even after formatting etc. on my Windows Vista Business PC. It had happened earlier also that the CD’s burnt at my DVD writer weren’t recognized at his Windows XP PC. I didn’t have a USB drive and neither did he and moreover, He didn’t have a laptop or some other way of carrying the files. He wanted to desperately carry the files from my PC today only and there didn’t seem to be any easy method of carrying those small sized files to his remote Windows XP PC (with USB port).
I got an idea. I attached my Sony CyberShot DSC-P100 digital camera with my PC – Dell Vostro 400 USB port, powered ON the camera, it got detected as a removable drive with F:. Now I made a folder on the Digital camera flash memory stick drive (shown as F: on my PC) and transferred the small sized files from my PC to the camera flash memory. My camera had a total of 255 MB flash memory capacity and the files to be copied from my PC for my friend were only of 156 KB.
After copying was over, I closed the digital camera drive window (F:), left clicked on its USB icon on the right bottom taskbar and then clicked on Safely remove Sony DSC – Drive(F:). Got the standard “Safe To Remove Hardware Message”.
I powered off the Sony Digital DSC -P100 camera and gave it with the camera to PC USB attachment cable to my friend. He took it and attached the CyberShot camera to his office Windows XP PC with USB port and was able to copy his files from the camera flash disk to his PC without any issues.
So, the moral of this post is that in case of emergency, you can use your digital camera flash memory stick to store and transfer files from one computer to another. This can be a useful method where the file transfer methods such as network (LAN), Internet, CD, DVD and normal USB disk are not working/not available.


As usual, some screenshots relevant to this post are given:
USB device detected on attaching Sony Cybershot P100 Camera to USB port
Using Ctrl key and the mouse left click to select only the required files in Windows Explorer
Creating a New Folder by Right Clicking on the blank area of the Removable disk window and then clicking on New and Folder
Successful copying of files from one drive to another drive in Windows Vista Business
Single left clicking on the USB icon on taskbar to remove the camera attached with PC USB port
Standard message of USB device can be removed safely on Windows Vista
Hope that you would like this post of mine.
Let me know your comments on the idea of using Digital camera flash memory stick for storing and transferring computer files from one PC to another PC.
Cheers!

0 How To Solve xvidcore.dll Not Found Error In Microsoft Windows Vista EnvironmentComing directly to the topic of this post, It’s on solving the error m

Coming directly to the topic of this post, It’s on solving the error message “xvidcore.dll not found” appearing on Microsoft Windows Vista PC. I am writing the solution to this problem as it occured on my Dell Vostro 400 PC loaded with Vista OS and I solved it. Thought of sharing as it may help you in saving some of your time.
Some particulars of this “xvidcore.dll” not found error:
The error “xvidcore.dll not found” was popping up when I was exploring a folder with video file/s (any format – .avi, .mpeg and .flv). When the video files were more, the error kept popping up again and again. Quite annoying as I had to click on OK multiple times to close these popups. I had no problem in playing any of these video files with video players.
xvidcore.dll not found error popup
Now, this xvidcore.dll error started popping up suddenly and it was not appearing from the day I started using my PC, i.e., more than one and half years back. I am still wondering why it started bothering me as I never installed anything relevant to xvid (Codec – Code/Decode Or Compressor/Decompressor for video files) on my PC. May be it was in built into some other application.

I searched for xvidcore.dll using the Windows Vista Search feature (including the search for hidden files) but as expected it couldn’t be found. The search window showing xvidcore.dll not found on my Vista PC is shown next:
xvidcore.dll not found in Windows Vista Search
I did a google search for the error “xvidcore.dll not found error” and found that I need to install Xvid codec from xvid.org. I downloaded Xvid-1.2.1 codec for Windows Vista from:
http://www.koepi.info/Xvid-1.2.1-04122008.exe
(Explanation to some of you who are wondering about the URL change from xvid.org to koepi.info. Clicking on “Xvid for Windows” hyperlink at the URL: http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html leads to the URL – http://www.koepi.info/xvid.html with page having Download link for Xvid 1.2.1 codec).
I downloaded the xvid codec setup file and installed it choosing the Windows XP compatibility mode as shown below:
Setting Up XP Compatibility Mode For Xvid 1.2.1 Codec In Windows Vista Business
After successful installation of Xvid codec, I once again explored the folder with the video files and wow there was no popup of “xvidcore.dll not found” error. Oh! what a relief from the “xvidcore.dll not found” bugging popups. Well, I searched again for “xvidcore.dll” on my computer and found that the file was now happily there along with some other files relevant to xvid in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
The screenshots shows the start of installation of xvid, its finish and location of xvidcore.dll file as found by Vista Search after xvid codec installation:
Installation start screen of Xvid codec
Xvid codec installation finish screen
Location of xvidcore.dll file in C:\Windows\System32 folder
Now, if you too are facing the error of “xvidcore.dll not found” (sorry for repeating it numerous times), then you can use the procedure in this post to save your time.


Let me know if I explained the steps well and did this post was of any use to you.
So bye to “xvidcore.dll not found” error message and welcome to your comments!

0 How to be almost sure of not uploading or downloading virus infected files?

Computer viruses are designed to cause damage to your computer data. So you mustn’t be downloading files that are virus infected. In business or personal communication, it is very embarrassing if the receiver tells you that your files are virus infected.
Yes, I hear you saying that come on, I use an antivirus. How can the files be infected as I update my antivirus and scan all my files on computer regularly. I know almost all of the online and offline PC’s have antivirus protection on. Let me be very clear with you, even if you are using an antivirus, whatever it’s name be, there is no 100% guarantee that it will detect 100% viruses. Sad but true! If you believe that your antivirus is 100% completely taking care of known and unknown viruses, then it’s wrong!
While, you can use two antiviruses – one on your regular hard disk and one working from a bootable disk/CD/DVD etc. as and when required, there are still chances that you might be sending or downloading an infected file.
The solution is to use a scanner that has the power of detecting all the viruses. What if it combines more than 38 virus scan engines from different companies. Wouldn’t it be great! At least you would be almost sure that you are not going to send or have received an infected file.
Virustotal.com is an online site that lets you upload up to 10MB file for getting it scanned from 38 virus scan engines of different companies developing antiviruses. Yes it’s true, after uploading the file to be scanned, you get a report in few minutes depend on the traffic at the site) and thus you can be dead sure about a file infection or clean status. You can send the file from your browser interface or even by email.
The address of virustotal is:
Virus-scanning-of-the-file-at-virustotalVirustotal-scanning-result-for-a-clean-fileI got idea of writing this post after one of my friend (first) using Mcafee antivirus sent a file to another friend (second) who was using Symantec’s Norton antivirus and the second friend found the file infected.
My first friend’s Mcafee antivirus was updated and he had scanned the whole computer including the file to be sent. He hadn’t got any virus alerts in any of the files on his PC. It was the second friend’s antivirus that reported the file as infected. So, I advised my first friend to scan the files being sent or being downloaded, from now onwards through – virustotal.com.
While there are numerous advantages of virustotal – Scanning power of 38 virus scanning engines, free, online availability at any hour and simple usage etc., it has certain limitations also, these are:
- It requires an Internet connection to upload the file and get it scanned for viruses.
- It can only scan 10 MB of a single file and not files above 10 MB.
- There is no guarantee that a file detected as clean by 38 virus scanners is not infected.
- It only detects viruses and doesn’t clean.
- Sometimes there can be delay in uploading the file and getting the results, depending on the traffic.
According to me, virustotal.com is a free and highly useful site that can save you from embarrassment of sending an infected file or using one that causes damage yours highly useful data. It doesn’t take too long to get the results (few minutes most of the times) and the chances of file being infected after it has been declared to be clean by 38 virus scanners is almost nil. What do you say?
So, next time you are sending or receiving a file to/from a known or unknown person, don’t forget to scan it through virustotal.com
Do you know of an offline virus scanner that combines power of 38 virus scanners? Yes, then let me know so that I can scan all my computer files not from a single virus scanner but from 38 virus scanners.
Waiting for your open comments and views.
