How to install Ubuntu 11.10 in a PC running Windows 7

I admit I was pretty indulged to the Microsoft Windows system because other than it is very famous; there are packs of software built for it as well. However, today I was enlightened by the idea that other operating systems do well too. The MAC OS and the Linux OS are both amazing systems. I would try MAC OS later, but as for now, the Linux system will worth a try because it’s FREE and EASY to get. Linux’s idea to share a FREE operating system to the world and giving the world the right to change it to the way they like adds to the appeal of this software. People always love FREE things and sharing something very valuable is worth admiring. The appeal and the much talked about power of Linux caused me to decide to install it on one of my PC. I believed, as it was told, Linux only needs minimal hardware setting, giving me the chance to use my old PC running on Windows 7. There are lots of Linux operating systems available online for free but I chose Ubuntu. I was influenced by...

How to easily repair your PC after a lag or an application error

I have an application that saves lots of files on my temporary files folder and I also love installing different kinds of software whenever something interests me. Sometimes I forgot to clean my temporary files folder. And, sometimes I just uninstall software that doesn’t pass my preference. Having these things happening inside my computer, it costs me a lag, delay, slow speed, and errors from time to time. It would be very easy to fix these things if you know exactly what’s wrong or what application is involved in the problem. But, when things go mixed-up and you are brought to a side where you forgot what you have done to your PC, you really need a tool to sort this thing out. This problem is very common to all who have applications that stores a lot of temporary data to your PC like browsers and even games. Installation and uninstallation of programs could also cause some registry problems. The biggest problem is when you experienced a lag or an application error and you have ...

How to Play CrossFire Philippines like a Pro (Tutorial with video)

CrossFire Philippines is an online first person shooting game which resembles the old CounterStrike. However, this online game has lots of purchasable items and you can create a character or an account which will increase in rank every time you play. Missions and Clan Wars are also key parts of this game in which players could play up to 8 versus 8 persons divided in two teams – blacklist and global risks. SmileGate developed the game from Korea which is known to be a great developer of this sort of games. Neowiz made it available around the globe and Gameclub published it here in the Philippines. This game became very famous and attractive to online gamers because of its graphics quality (realistic environment and effects) and the creation of personal accounts. I believe lots of young ones in the country are getting addicted with this game. What I really love with this game is the ranking. I am now a “Captain” in this game and it always makes me feel good to increase my leve...

How to get the looks of Mac OS X Lion to your Windows PC easily

Windows is always my favorite but I am also interested with the other operating systems because I love doing things with this programs. I tried Ubuntu first which I posted here and before I will post about the installation of Mac OS X Lion, I would like to have a glimpse of the interface of this latest Mac OS. I believe many people who are using Windows are very curios with the looks of Mac OS X Lion since it has a very prestigious integrity in the market. Some having no choice but just wanted to experience the beautiful interface of the Mac OS tried to use software and several configurations to change their boring Windows 7 desktop. Some are also like me who just want a glimpse of it without really trying to install the OS. While there are lots of applications and processes to help you gain the Apple looks, my experience will help you do the procedure easily without any troubles. What tool to use? I use the Lion Transformation Pack from WinXSoft.com which you can eas...

How to effectively use Deep Freeze Standard to your computer

I am maintaining an Internet CafĂ© and surely I need software that when I restart a PC unit, it will go back to my decided configuration. This will make my job very easy, avoiding long period of repairs, error fixing, or even virus treatment processes because all I need is to restart the PC and restore it to the condition where it does its best (as I configured it according to my preference). Happily, there is a bunch of software that do function likes this. Deep Freeze is one of them. I choose Deep Freeze and it has become my partner in maintaining 10 of my PC clients. Deep Freeze is software that memorizes your computer’s settings and configuration before you “FREEZE” it and whenever you restart it, it will return the system to its original state. It means total peace of mind because whatever goes wrong, you just don’t bother to even know the problem but just restart the PC and expect that it will be good as new again. Security and Preservation are two strong words that this sof...

How to easily create a website using Blogger 2015

Creating a website way back before I am high school is for professional computer guys only. But as of today, even your kid could surprise you with his page having some creative flash images. Creating a website today is even a necessity for almost anyone. With that trend, website creation software and hosting sites are spreading and evolving every day. There are lots of choices, but of course, not all are so user-friendly and reliable. Today, I decided to create a website for our CrossFire clan (online gaming clan) and I choose Blogger.com as my platform and my hosting site. Though, Blogger is generally used for blogging, a website and a blog are almost identical today. The fusion is I believe caused by the demands of interactivity and dynamism in the internet. So, what I am talking about here is that you can make your blog at Blogger look like and function like a modern website. My choice is also affected by the following exceptional Blogger features: First, it is so easy to ...

How to make your DSL Internet connection stable (prevent long timeouts)

This is question submitted by Alex Dimacaraig of Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. A stable DSL Internet connection is very important especially if you are fond with online games. I love playing CrossFire Philippines so upgraded my PLDT internet connection to the 10mbps plan. The speed really went faster but along the way I experienced this “cut-offs” in the connection. By typing “ping yahoo.com –t” to the command prompt, I was able to know that my connection is experiencing regular request timeouts from time to time. Regular short timeouts or when the REQUEST TIMEOUT message appears only once between successful pings is normal, but mine has several request timeouts before successful pinging works again. Obviously, my online game disconnects even before I finish one game which is frustrating. Most of the answers you can find online are solutions applied to your computer settings or software-involved. However, most of the time it is your physical connection line that has the problem. It m...
