Random Computer Crashes – What Should I Do?

In this article we are going to talk about random computer crashes. In today’s tough economy, many of us are keeping things like cars and computers a lot longer then we did in years past. Not only that, many of us are trying to hold onto the old reliable Windows XP operating system. For the latter, I cannot blame you one bit. It was and still is the very best of all the operating systems that Microsoft ever produced. So, if you have an older machine and the system randomly slows down or crashes, the first thing I would consider is heat. As a system ages, the fans begin the wear out and this in turn allows your computer to run hotter then it did when it was young. This is especially true if you are working with graphics, playing a game or running an intense program. The extra processing power will cause your processor to create more heat and this in turn will slow down your computer if the fan is not doing it’s job as intended. The extra heat can even cause a blue screen which will shutdown or reboot your computer. This is actually a protective mechanism that is designed to keep your hardware from heat damage.

Using A Registry Backup

Today we are going to talk about using a registry backup as a means of restoring your computer. All Microsoft operating systems use a complex compilation of entries located in a central location to control all the main functions of Windows and your programs. This complex mechanism is called the system registry. The registry is essentially the main “hive” of your system. The heart you might say. I have seen many people keep a backup of their registry just in case there is a huge problem with one of your programs. In theory, this is a good idea but restoring your computer with a registry backup will not always work.

What Are Windows Libraries?

Today we are going to talk about Windows Libraries and exactly what they are. If you are using a Windows 7 computer in all likelihood you have seen a category in your Windows Explorer called Libraries. Most people who look at it simply think that they are their main folders just like in Windows XP. I think Microsoft made these just to be confusing. The far truth is that they are not folders at all. A Library is actually a compilation of folders that are located on your computer. It is a collected view of several folders all put together. The Library allows you to organize your folders by date, type or last modified.

Windows Sidebar Security Flaws and Performance Issues

Hi everybody today we are going to talk about the Windows Sidebar included with Vista and Windows 7.  When Vista was introduced one of the coolest things that was featured was the ability to add gadgets to your desktop. It is true that Windows XP users could do a similar thing but third party software was involved. When people were buying their brand new Vista machines, they were loading clocks, stock tickers, weather reports and a whole multitude of cool things on their desktops. Some of the gadgets kept time, some flashed reminders and others showed how much ram you had left or how much processing power your computer was using. This started to create problems with computer speed. You see, every one of those cool gadgets that you have displayed on your screen uses a certain percent of your ram and it can tax your video card, especially if you have the limited resources of a laptop.
