3 steps to increase computer speed performance
3 steps to increase computer speed performance
3 steps to increase computer speed performance
With an increase in the time you use your computer, the performance will gradually become slower due to increased temporary files stored in it and other factors, and today we will give you some steps to keep your computer functioning smoothly and quickly.
1. Delete temporary files
Cache grow in size as a result of increased use, particularly the use of browsers as the browsing data you save and increase the size of this memory makes the computer slow so it must be disposed of if periodically in every month, and delete your typing "disk cleanup" in the search tool and then turn them on and choose Disk Cleanup C and then wait a little bit until the tool scans the disk and select the files in it
And now you will see the following window
Disk Cleanup tool
Select Temporary Internet files, and then click on OK and then choose the clean files.
2. Adjust the graphical user interface
Of the best steps to do to increase the speed of your computer. To do so then right-click on My Computer and choose Properties >> >> Advanced System Settings tab and then the Advanced Performance section click on "Settings" and you will see the following window
Adjust the graphical user interface
Now, select the "Adjust for best performance" and then OK.
NOTE: This method will make the graphical interface for simple system, but it will be faster than the previous.
3. Reduce the programs that run at startup
Many of the computer programs that run automatically at startup, despite not having her this makes your computer slower so you need to do to stop unnecessary programs automatically run at startup, and to do so press the ctrl + alt + delete, and then select Task Manager and then go to the start tab operating and you will see the programs that run at startup
Programs that run at startup
Now select the programs that you want to prevent him from working automatically at startup and then click Disable in the bottom of the window.
Finally, here are some tips:
Do not delete any file from the system files unless you know what you are doing.
Do not use the system to improve the performance of programs as long as you can do so through the previous steps simply because such programs will tire machine, too.
Do not change the BIOS settings or overclocking device driver unless you are sure what to do and in spite of the existence of the many explanations online around to play with such settings without that you have experienced will have a bad effect on your computer.

31 Basic Computer Software You Ought To Have
31 Basic Computer Software You Ought To Have
31 Basic Computer Software You Ought To Have
Although, different people working in different fields, will need different set of software for their daily operations, there are however, some few basic applications that everyone should have installed on their computers. But, before we begin, let me talk a little on, the types of computer software we have today.
Types of Computer Software:
There are basically, two types of software on computer systems;
- System software: This is the most important software on your computer (laptop or desktop) because, they manage/run your computer’s memory, processes, and all other software and hardware. Hence, they come pre-installed on your machine, by the manufacturer of your device. An example of System software is, Operating system (OS). Examples of operating systems are; Windows OS (by Microsoft), Macintosh OS (by Apple inc.), and Linux OS.
- Application Software: These are programs or software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. They are mostly 3rd party apps, and virtually anyone with a coding ability, can create one (at least, my younger brother does). Some examples of application software are; Spreadsheets, web browsers, photo editors, etc.
Note: Some software companies are converting their software into online tools. This is because, unlike offline apps, software hosted online are always (automatically) updated in real-time.
For this reason, some of the applications listed in this post, may not necessarily be downloadable.
1. Web Browser(s):
These are applications that allow users to surf the web (internet). Though Windows laptops come pre-installed with ‘Internet Explorer (IE)’, I would recommend you installing ‘Google Chrome’ and/or ‘Mozilla Firefox’.
This is because, Internet Explorer is quite porous. Spyware, junkware and malicious programs normally infiltrate IE. Chrome and Mozilla Firefox however, were built with the security of the user in mind. They will block any suspicious website or app from installing unsolicited and injurious programs. This is not to say that, Chrome or Firefox are 100% free from attack though.
Another advantage of Chrome and Firefox over Internet Explorer is, the sea of add-ons and plugins available for them. These tools will make your browsing experience sweet and less stressful.
2. Word Processors:
Examples of word processors are; Microsoft Office Word and OpenOffice.
In the past, Windows laptops always came pre-installed with MS word and the other Microsoft Packages. However, I noticed that these days, newer laptop models only come with trial versions of the new Microsoft Office 365. To use it fully, one is expected to pay.
In that case, if you are unable to purchase the new Microsoft Office Word 365 (via internet purchase), you could always collect the raw file of Microsoft word 2007, 2010 or 2013 from a friend, or buy the physical program disc to install.
Once you install it, every other Microsoft Office Product (Microsoft Power Point, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, OneNote) should also be installed (if you select/tick them during installation.)
3. Anti-Virus:
Anti-virus programs are designed to, detect and destroy computer viruses.
Examples of anti-virus programs are; McAfee anti-virus (usually pre-installed). However, I would recommend, Avast, AVG, Avira or Norton AV. You usually get a trial version for 30 days. After that period, you could either, buy the Premium version or, get a cracked version.
Feel free to suggest some other anti-virus programs that you use (in the comment section).
4. Registry CleanUp Tune-Up Utilities | System Diagnostics Tool:
The computer registry, is the central database that contains all of the necessary information about your software, hardware, preferences, OS, and more.
Cleaning your System’s registry, is an important part of overall PC maintenance. TuneUp utilities, help to manage, maintain, optimize, configure and troubleshoot a computer system.
‘CCleaner’ and ‘Comodo System Utilities’, are examples of Registry Clean-up programs.
5. Video Player:
One of the main activities for which most people use their computers to do is, watch videos. You need a Video player that will give you optimal picture and audio quality.
VLC is the most popular video player. Other good video players are, KMPlayer, GOM Media Player, DivX Player and RealPlayer.
6. Music Player:
If you are like me, you cannot go a single day without playing some music from your device. Even though video players can also play audio files, it is advisable to install a dedicated music player, to fully understand the meaning of, “music is the food of the soul”!
My recommendations are; MusicBee, Winamp, MediaMonkey and Foobar2000.
7. Flash Player:
Flash players are web browser plugins that can also be supported on some mobile devices (especially smartphones). Without flash players, you cannot view multimedia, execute rich internet applications or stream video/audio. Adobe flash player is the major flash player available today. Go ahead and suggest other ones you may know of.
8. Photo Editor:
A time will come, when you will need a Photo editor. Whether to do simple things like, add text to an image, crop an image, or complex things like, adding yourself to a 1960s photo (as if you were really there), photo editors are very important tools to have around.
Examples of photo editors are; GNU, GIMP, PhotoCut, Super Refocus, and Adobe Photoshop. Of all these photo editors, Adobe Photoshop is the best! But unfortunately, it is also the hardest to master.
9. Computer-Aided Graphics Design Software:
You don’t have to be a seasoned Graphics designer to have these design tools on your device. Within 2 days of using a graphics design software, I designed a logo/header image for my blog: NOSR Blog, with no prior training.
Some example of graphics design tools are; Microsoft paint, So Think Logo Maker Pro, Corel Draw, Autodesk inventor, Auto-CAD, Adobe Illustrator. Microsoft paint is a bitmap based software, but it is easy to use. Though an underrated piece of software, MS paint can be used to create some unbelievable work.
10. DJ Music Mixing Software:
This is a really fun application to have. Once in a while, you may just be in the mood of adding cool DJ-type effects to the music you are playing. You could also surprise everyone with your scratching skills, at that birthday party.
Examples of such software are; Virtual DJ, Mixxx, Serato DJ, Ableton Live and, Traktor Pro.
11. Ebook Reader:
Electronic book readers (ebooks readers), are software that make it possible to read digital books. A good ebook reader should be able to open multiple formats like; pdf, ePub, Mobi, XPS, DjVu, CHM, Comic Book (CBZ and CBR), etc.
Examples of ebook readers are; Foxit Reader, Adobe Reader, Sumatra PDF reader, and Calibre.
12. Video Chatting Software (Skype):
Web-cam enabled laptop users can get more value from their machine. Skype is the major video chat software I know of.
13. Note-Taking Software (Keynote):
Whenever the light-bulb goes off in your head, you may want to quickly take down your thoughts else, your short-term memory brain-cells will betray you.
Examples of note-taking tools are; Evernote, Resophnotes, Elements, Simplenote (iOS) and KeyNote.
14. Downloaders:
If you are a surfer of the net, you simply cannot do without fast downloaders. They help us download/save our favorite apps, large images, music and videos onto our computer. Here are the best downloading software; IDM, Torrent, Orbit downloader, SaveFrom.Net, NetVideoHunter (Firefox add-on), Total Video Downloader (for Mac), XDM (Xtreme Download Manager).
15. File Converter:
Some applications may only require/recognize certain File formats. Therefore, you will need a file converter to convert any of these file formats whichever way you want.
Known file formats are; png, jpg, jpeg, tiff, gif, bmp, emf, doc, docx, xls, rtf and ppt.
Some file converters can batch-convert a file format into multiple other formats (simultaneously). Online file converters are more popular. Try,http://convertonlinefree.com
16. File Compressor/Decompressor:
Some large files will need to be compressed, in order to send or upload them. In the same vein, the receiver or downloader of the compressed file will have to decompress the archived file.
These are very good file compressers/decompressers; 7-Zip, WinZip, Peazip, and, Zipeg.
17. Gaming Software:
I don’t have much to say about this as I am not a game freak. However, here are some games I plan on having in the not so distant future; Call of Duty, God of War, GTA 5.0, and Minecraft.
Note: Not every computer has the power to execute most modern games. Your system specs and graphics card must be up to par.
18. Spreadsheet:
Spreadsheets are very important to teachers, bankers, sales people and businesses in general. Examples of spreadsheet programs are; Microsoft Excel, Google Spreadsheets (hosted online), Open Office, and Apple Numbers.
19. Audio Editor (Audacity):
Audacity is the world’s most popular free open source digital audio editor. It is the easiest audio editor to use. Audio editors are used for; recording audio on computers (via a headset or professional microphone), editing audio clips, and adding effects to audio clips etc.
20. YouTube to MP3 Converter:
These software convert video or other audio formats, to mp3. Its a great way to create podcasts or have your favorite music in mp3 format. Good converters are; ChangeToMp3, Total Video Converter Lite (for Mac users), VLC (bet you didn’t know that).

2016 Tricks How to shutdown your Computer with a Cell phone
2016 Tricks How to shutdown your Computer with a Cell phone
This is my favourite secret mobile phone tricks out of the list. When you have everything set up, you’ll be able to send a text message with a chosen keyword such as “˜shutdown’ to your PC. This then activates the shutdown procedure. Here’s how it works.
First, you create an easy text file with a one line command (this is specified in the video) and save it to your hard drive. Then, you set up a Kwiry account and sync it with your Email account which you have set up in Outlook Express.
A rule must then be created in Outlook Express which will detect any incoming emails with that keyword and then execute the shutdown command in the text file when it does.
By sending a text with the keyword to your Kwiry account, an identical email is sent to your own email account, thus you can shut down your PC via SMS when you’re out and about.
It’s best to choose an obscure word so a normal email doesn’t accidentally shut down your PC.
You could also use this for cueing up a video game or a program which takes a long time to load before you actually get home to your PC by choosing another application besides from the shutdown file when creating a rule.
Just a quick word of warning before I sign off: many of the claimed cell phone hacks on the internet are completely fake. When researching this article (and through some SPAM a few years back) I came across lots of bogus guides which either waste your time or potentially mess up your phone. So watch out!

3 Steps Make your RAM on your Computer Device to be Optimal
3 Steps Make your RAM on your Computer Device to be Optimal
3 Steps Make your RAM on your Computer Device to be Optimal
Random Access Memory, or more commonly called RAM may already know from the first encounter on your PC. RAM is a main memory used to perform temporary storage when the computer is switched on. This device does not function the other is as a support for the processor to melakukkan all computing processes. Speed ??and RAM capacity has a close relationship with the performance of the computer.
Perhaps you have experienced previously, your RAM is already quite large, but the performance of the computer still does not meet the desire. You may need to do some optimization on RAM. The author has done some simple steps that were able to improve the performance of RAM on your device.
Use Task Manager
One fairly simple way is to use the Task Manager that exist on the operating system on your computer device. Through the Task Manager you can monitor all activities and processes running on your computer equipment. Moreover, virtually the whole of the operating system either Windows or Unix able to do sorting of sequence RAM usage biggest to the smallest
To do access the Task Manager every operating system has a different way. For example, for Windows you can access the Task Manager did start right-click on the taskbar and select Task Manager. Then you will get a window that displays monitor the whole process. Whereas if you penggunaa Linux, the more ways that you can apply in accordance with the desktop environment you use. For example, the author uses the Unity desktop environment to access the Task Manager by simply searching the System Monitor (on every desktop Linux environtment task manager has a different name).
Disable startup apps
This step is a step Advance after you monitor all of the processes running on your computer. Application start-up is a whole program that will run automatically when the computer is turned on. The more programs on the run, of course, the process will also be more severe.
To overcome this, do disable startup applications. If you are a user of Windows 8 you can do it at the start up tab on the task manager, or via msconfig if you are using Windows 7. If you are a linux user, you can see the entire start-up through the terminal by means of:
1sudo -i
2cd / etc / xdg / autostart /
3sudo sed --in-place s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g *.desktop
However you should be careful when doing disable start up on Linux, because sometimes there are applications that are directly related to the operating system.
Third-party applications.This option is used no other applications to accelerate the performance of RAM, but the application should you use should also be in accordance with the needs. Lets say at some Antivirus which also used to tweak, but you do install the application again to make booster.
Currently for third-party applications, the authors use CCleaner in Windows while on Linux (Ubuntu) using Ubuntu Tweak. This option is not the best, and you can pick apart of the two.
This article might help speed the process of your RAM is reasonable, not to overclock or the other. If you feel the computer may still not too good is better you do the addition or replacement RAM.
