What to do If Your Computer Suddenly Starts Behaving "ABNORMALLY"after Restart....Hangs up,Slows down, Not Responding to Commands





Is your Computer suddenly started behaving "ABNORMALLY" like the pages start hanging up, the Internet Explorer is not opening the pages, extreme slow down of system, not responding to your commands?? In a Personal Computer, any change in computer behaviour is immediately noticed by the user. What to do if your computer started behaving "ABNORMALLY" after Restart??Again I am sharing a simple common man's way to solve this.
In Windows & Mac, there is an option called "SYSTEM RESTORE". The System restore is the First Option to correct any abnormality in your computer. System Restore, corrects the file changes ( done by viruses), & restores your computer to an earlier date or time. You can select a restore time or date, that you think , on which your computer was running properly. The System Restore will reinstate your computer to that time, without changing your documents, pictures etc. Try "SYSTEM RESTORE" first, to correct your system (system means operating system, like Windows XP,2000 etc).

How To Do "SYSTEM RESTORE"??
 1. For Windows XP:
Start your windows as the Adminstrator (not guest)---> click Start--->Move your cursor on All Programs---> Point the cursor to Accessories---> Move to System Tools---> Click System Restore.



















A new window of "Welcome to System Restore" will be opened ---> choose the system restore by time/date (shows you the option to choose from date or time, on which your computer was running "NORMALLY")---> select a Restore point--->Confirm the Restoration & ---> click Next---> DONE.



















The System Restore wil restore your computer to the time or date, you have selected, & it will take some time to do it. You can not cancel once system restore starts.
If You think that the Sytem Restore does not correct your problem, or if some program important to you, has been deleted/changed, then you can undo the Restoration in same way. The System Restore is a compltely "REVERSIBLE" process, without affecting your documents.

2."SYSTEM RESTORE" for Windows Vista & Windows 7:
In Vista & Windows 7 , doing Sytem Restore is very easy, just click start---> type System restore---> System restore option will open in the window--->click it & proceed as previous.

The Abnormal behaviour by computer is due to viruses & worms."The System Restore does not removes the Viruses".
If your System is just running slow you can use "Defragmentation" to increase the speed of your computer.
Defragmentation arranges your file in a drive e.g.C:/, D:/, so thhat there is optimum utilisation of your Disc drive space.If you do not defragment your drive,then each time you utilizes a file it is rearranged & this re arrangement takes time & your computer will respond slowly---> SLOW COMPUTER.
            Hope this article will solve some of your problems.

Having difficulty in Adusting Blog Images in "Blogger", use Rich Text Editor,add more than 5 images

If you are using Blogger, then you must have felt that adjusting pictures at right places in your Blog is quite problematic, many a times, if the no of images you want to upload is more than one. Even in single image upload, the image is uploaded on the top of the blog only & you have to make html editing or other brain storming work, to adjust the image at right place in your blog.
Now you can do this very easily with the "Rich Text Editor Feature of "Blogger".
With rich text editor you can add your images, into the appropriate place in your blog. You can upload
multiple images simultaneously, more than five ( in Old Post Editor image upload is limited to 5). After uploading images you can choose what you want to upload & the remaining pictures will be automatically discarded by Blogger. You can adjust the image size to greater size also without loss of image quality. Multiple images are uploaded in a thumb nail view, select the image where you you want to post it & click add, then close it by cancelling. Again if you want to add another image at another place , just do in same way.
See in the screen shots how you can enable rich text editor for blogger:









































Even if you close the image upload , the image are shown as thubnails,when you again click the image upload option in rich text editor.

The only drawback I found in rich text editor, is that it is a little bit slower than old editor.
Again I am summarizing the procedure for enabling rich text editor for your blogs:
First go to your Dashboard---> click Settings---> click Basic---> Go to the bottom of page---> select rich text editor---> SAVE the Settings.
DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE THE SETTINGS, otherwise it wil not be enabled.

Want FREE Movies, Video, Music, Games, Softwares?? Welcome To The World of "TORRENTS" Beware It's Addictive


If You take from the Internet, Give it Back too!! . 150 millions Internet users are giving back the world of Internet, what they are taking from it. Confused???
Yes!! You are Welcome to the world of "TORRENTS".
Want FREE movies, Video, Games, Software ?? Welcome to the world of "TORRENTS".... Beware It's Addictive.
What is a "TORRENT" File?? In April 2001 a young Computer Programmer Bram Cohen
designed a file sharing Protocol, "Bit Torrent". A P2P (peer to peer)file sharing program.
In Torrent File Sharing, the First person uploads the file as torrent, which is a small file containing the Data(metadata) & Tracker details of the original file/video.
The Tracker is the computer that coordinates the Torrent File Distribution.
The Peers are the person like you & me, that wants to download the File/Video.
In Torrent File downloading, if you (peer) are downloading a File, then at same time you are uploading, the downloaded part of file for other peers like you to download. This creates a network of peers & every peer is downloading & uploadong the File through their Internet Connection.This makes the file download very easy through sharing, coz not only you are downloading the file,but also uploading the file for others, "The True Sense of Sharing".
Once you complete the File download, you can still continue to upload the file you downloaded & this makes you a seed.
So if many persons are Uploading the completed file there are many seeds to that File.This makes the file download faster.

Leechers are persons like you & me wanting to download the file.
What are the benefits of "Torrent" File??
1. It saves the bandwidth of uploader & contrary to a normal file, where, if there are many users for a file makes the download slower, in torrent many users makes the file download faster.
2. As many users are using that file , you can know about the files beforehand, by their comments, whether the file is safe or not, minimises the virus risk( only if the original uploader has not done a mischief, many a times files contain virus & spywares)
3. You can get reviews of that file/video & decide whether the quality is good or not.
4. It is not illegal to download a torrent file as the site is not hosting the files, but it is the users, who are hosting the files through sharing.
Some Top Torrent File Providers:
where you can get free movies, softwares,games, music, books are
1. http://mininova.org/
2. http://www.thepiratebay.org/
3. http://www.isohunt.com/

HOW TO DOWNLOAD A TORRENT FILE:
For downloading a Torrent file, First you have to download a small file, normally 15 - 20Kb file , known as torrent of that file.

Then open the File through a "Torrent downloader client" like Bittorrent, or "Vuze". Now a days most of the download mangers provide, torrent download.
