So, one day you decided to cut the cable and start using wireless connection instead of your old cable connection but as usual, new technologies come with new problems. When you are connected via wireless connection you may happen to run into disconnections so here you are, some tips.

 

The first thing is… why are you using a wireless connection? If you are just using it because you can use it, it is better for you not to do it anymore. Wireless connections are only useful if you have to put a long wire from the modem / router and you want to save that installation, but if you have the computer next to the router and you use wireless you are not making the most of your internet connection. If you can put a cable, forget the waves. Wireless connections are more unstable and less safe than a cable connection no matter how well do you protect them so, if there is a choice, use cable instead of wireless.

One day we open our computer and see a warning message from Windows saying that our hard disk space is running out. We do some cleanup by emptying the recycle bin, but the free space remaining in C drive is still low and we cannot defragment it as a result. Problem like this is likely to happen and recur. If you have no idea what is eating up the hard disk space and you haven't been keeping too much personal files or installed many programs, it will be a puzzling and annoying problem. This guide shows how to trouble-shoot such problem and is applicable to Windows XP and Vista.

A friend of mine asked me to drop by and trouble-shoot his computer saying that it is very slow and he can hardly get his things done on it.

the startup process becomes very slow. opening a program or surfing the internet takes ages. "My Computer" takes a long time to load.

My first guess was that some programs were hogging up the CPU in the background. Fixing such a problem is usually very fast. This guide works in XP/Vista/7.

During the days of win98/ME, an essential tool for windows trouble-shooting is the bootdisk. That is because back then, windows was notoriously easy to break. System files occasionally got corrupted, or the boot sector got messed up by a virus. When the system refused to boot, we called bootdisk in to help out.

 

Windows system of today is more stable, such scenarios rarely happen. But when they do happen, and when the standard recovery process fails, the downtime could be costly. Most often, the trouble prevents the user from retrieving important files that are stored inside the hard disk. The tool that has replaced bootdisk and comes to the rescue is a Linux LiveCD.

 

Windows users' impression of Linux had always been: a command-line driven OS, secure but not user-friendly, it can hardly accomplish anything produtive except being a good server. That impression has gradually changed since the day we were introduced to Ubuntu Linux, the most user-friendly Linux distribution out there.Today, most Windows tasks can be performed on Linux too. Even to a user who has never touched Linux in his/her life and one day finds the need to use Linux for the first time to retrieve a file from a computer on which windows is unable to boot, Linux isn't difficult to use. A little bit of patience, some time for trial and error is all that is needed to figure out how to get something done.
