Not Enough Space in your Local Disk (C:)


You are trying to save a file in your computer & the computer gives you a message "There is not enough space in your Local Disc (C:)". Strange, right!! where all the space of your harddisk drive has gone??You had got enough space in your hard disk ( 40,80,160,250,320GB ).The same thing can happen to your Flash Drive/Pen Drive or external Hard Disk Drive--"not enough space".When you download a file from a internet it is first stored in a temporary folder. Again when you move a file from one place to another e.g.from my documents to desktop, or one drive to another, a duplicate copy of the file is transferred to your desired place. Remember if you just Drag & Drop a file from one place to another, a duplicate file is just copied from one place to another. This creates a lot of duplicate files in your computer & consumes a lot of space. The solution for this is to find out the similar or duplicate files & delete it one by one. You can do it for some files but it is very difficult to find out all duplicate files in your computer & delete it. Alternatively, you can get a Duplicate Cleaner software, that will do the job for you.



Digital Volcano gives you a Free Duplicate Cleaner, that will find & delete your duplicate files, mp3s,photos,etc.without costing you anything. It is just a 1.93MB size software, but can free a lot of space from your computer, Pen Drive or External Hard Drive.


Download Duplicate Cleaner
You can remove the selected files as per your choice, if you want.

How to Rescue your laptop if the warranty period is expired


Hi!! Do you have computer with prelodaed, or company installed operating system, like Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7?? Most of the laptops like Sony, Dell,HP ....are coming with preloaded or factory installed operating system with most of the softwares installed. So you just have to purchase & start using your system or Laptop. Nice!! Now think if your laptop get a serious virus infection & is not starting up or become extremely slow, or some other serious error occurs to your system. How you will correct your Laptop?? It is not responding at all. Yes, this can happen to your computer system.
If you are in a warranty period, the service centre will take care of all your problems.But if your warranty is expired you need a Rescue Disc or Recovery Disc to correct your System(laptop).
Do you have the Rescue Disc??
A Rescue Disc contains all the Factory installed softwares files, & can make your Laptop as New, like you had purchased (atleast functionally :-D) In Windows Vista & 7 there is an option where by going to Windows Recovery Centre, you can make a Rescue Disc. Just type Recovery or Restore in the search box at START button, you will find the option of Windows Recovery Centre (in Windows 7 Restore option --> backup--> insert a Blank DVD & follow the instructions,or alternatively on C:or D: drive, wherever you like, but in case of formatting this can be lost).
In sony Vaio series of Laptops, there is a inbuilt Rescue centre where you can format & make your computer as Factory fitted settings.For this you have to restart your computer & as the vaio logo starts showing, press F10, the rescue option will show. Do the System Restore or C:drive recovery. This will correct your computer as good as new .

After Fall of Mininova, From where to download Free Movies, Softwares, Music


You wish to see a movie, that has been just released in a theatre, but you are far from the place e.g. out of country, or at a place where your language is not spoken, or you want to download Free Movies, Softwares, Music & videos. The answer is torrents or peer to peer sharing (see my previous posts on torrent).
Torrents are the easiest way to get free stuffs online, & it is very addictive too.
Mininova.org was once upon the best torrent site for getting all type of Free movies, Music, Softwares, Games, Video etc.
Alas! Mininova is no more providing these type of torrents any more( The downfall of Mininova).
Now you can get Free movies, softwares etc on many torrent site like thepiratebay.org, isohunt.com etc.
 (Top 35 torrent sites of 2010)
Nowadays my Favourite site for torrent downloads is EXTRATORRENT. .







It is so fast & seeding is superb, you can get sometimes, same day the movie is released.The best part is that it provides the screen shots of a movie, so that you can choose to download, after seeing the quality of that video in screen shots.
It also clarifies whether the video is a cam print or XVID, DVD etc. Television links are also available.

See the wide varieties of videos available on extratorrent .
The Negative point is that every time a flash pop up will irrtate you as per your location, particularly inviting you for a date :)
You can use a flash blocker, as this is a common problem nowadays for almost every website. A sticky flash video will popup from below or side of your web page.
For downloading a torrent file you need a Torrent Downloder, or Bit Torrent Client like Vuze. (Download Vuze from here)
Those who are using opera as their internet browser, don't need any bittorrent client, as opera is capable of downloading torrent files.
Alternatively you can use Flashget . Flashget is my Downloader software for any file, &am it also supports Torrents :-)

If you are a newbie for torrents see my previous post on what is torrent & how to download a torrent file.
In extratorrent.com there is a download option in the article, click it & save the torrent file on your desktop or document. Then open it with a bittorrent client, or simply directly right click that download link & download with your Downloader Software.
In case of any problem ask me for FREE :-)
BYE for now

Not Able To Copy a Document or Image?? Take a Screen Shot or Save What You See


Again this is a Back to Basics method, most of us do not use. Have You ever encountered a problem , where you wanted to copy a particular web document, but it was copy protected (you canot copy). Many Web Page Documents are Copy Protected, means you can see, read & save it as it is (PDF, TIFF files etc), but you cannot copy a particular paragraph, or a specific image.
This problem can be solved by a simple Windows Method, known as Print Screen option. Your Computer Keys has a button Prnt Scrn or Print Screen. By this button, you can capture any window open in your computer, or even simply your Desktop image :-)
To Capture a Screen (i.e Webpage or any page on your computer screen), First Press the Prnt Scrn button, then Press Ctrl + C (see my previous post for Windows Shortcuts). Now open any Image Editor Program, like MS Paint. Now in a blank new Paint Page, move your Cursor anywhere , but keep it in the Paint Page & Press Ctrl + V.
Your Captured Screen will be pasted there. Remove unnecessary Page Items by cropping the image & save image in PNG, GIF, BMP etc.
So, in this way you can save any thing visible on your Computer Screen. You can Share, Print, IM that image quickly.
This Technique is particularly helpful, when you are chatting with a friend in any IM client like Gtalk, MSN messenger, Yahoo, Meebo or Pidgin etc. You can instantly share anything with your friends. Secondly this technique is very useful, to put images on a Blog or Website. By Screen Capture, you can share any screen shot to your visitors & is Legal as you are not downloading anything ( not using the bandwidth). Most of my Blog's images are Screen shots, by this method.
In Windows vista, 7, there is a useful tool, Snipping tool, that allows you to take Screen Shot of a particular area of a web page or window directly. You don't need to edit that image in Paint or other editor. The Snipping Tool has basic editing tool also, such as pen , eraser etc. see in the below image, I just captured a part of my desktop screen saver by snipping tool, then captured the whole screen with Snipping Tool image also by Print Screen Method :-)
























If you want some Advanced editing to your Captured Screen, you can use other services too like Aviary (just write aviary.com in front of any URL & the page will be captured) jing ( a free & pro version available), Snagit ( the advanced form of jing), Snap 3 ( $19).
The Great News From Google for Sharing is WAVE which is releasing tomorrow. With Wave you can instantly share a Screen Shot, Video, Audio, Document in Real time.

Save Time with Computer, Use Windows Shortcuts


If you are not a computer expert (like me, a simple common man), you might be doing your computer work, like surfing & other works by a lengthier process, like writing www, .com, going to start button & then going to My Computer, Folders etc. You can save a lot of time by using Windows Shortcuts.
Here are some common Windows Shortcuts to speed up your work & save time:
Press F1- Windows Help will open.
Press F5- Webpage will be Refreshed.
Press Ctrl & C together to copy a  selected item.
Press Ctrl & V together to Paste a  selected item.
Press Ctrl & X together to cut a selected item.

Some very useful shortcuts:
Press Ctrl & Esc button together to open START window.
Press Ctrl & Tab to scroll different webpages. Normally when you open more than one window in a browser, you minimize one window to see other window/webpage. By this Windows Shortcut, i.e. by keep pressing Ctrl & then clicking Tab button you can view your multiple windows.
Press Alt & F4 together to  close a window.
To rename a File/Folder just Press F2.
When you delete a file or folder, it is sent to Recycle Bin & ultimately the space of your computer is not freed. If you want to delete a File/Folder permanently without sending it to Recycle bin, Press Shift & Delete together.
If you are Playing a Game or watching a Movie in Full Screen, just click the Windows Logo button on your key board, to show the Task bar, then you can close the program or shift to other window. It is also helpful in shutting down the system when the game or Movie is hanged & you can't see the Task Bar to shut down the computer or close the program.
Now Two of my Favourite Windows Shortcuts to save time & speed up your Work:
Press Windows Logo & E button simultaneously to go to My Computer directly, to see your Files, Partition.
When you open a webpage in a browser (IE, Firefox etc), you write the www. then webpage name & then .com. Now try this: Just write the website name without writing www. & .com words & click Ctrl & Enter together. The word www. & .com will be automatically written in browser. For example if you want to go to http://www.microsoft.com  just write microsoft & Press Ctrl  & Enter button together, see no need to write http:// www. or .com  :-)
This is applicable only for .com websites.

For Other Windows Shortcuts, go to support.microsoft.com or click here

How To Know the Details of a WEBSITE by WHOIS, Stop Internet Crime


Few posts earlier, I mentioned about reporting about Internet Crime to IC3( see previous post). But the very important part for reporting about an Internet Crime is to Know the Details of a Website, who is the Adminstrator, his contact address etc.You can know all the details of a Website by "WHOIS" ( Who is??). WHOIS is a query used for knowing the databse details of a website i.e IP Address (Internet Protocol Address-> It is a number assigned to your Internet Service by your Internet Service Provider ISP), domain name ( e.g. wegatalk.com is a domain name, registered with a web hosting service), Date of Registration, Address, Contact number, date of expiry of the domain etc. Literally WHOIS can give you all the Details of a Website or a domain. Let's for example see the WHOIS details of site http://www.astitv.org/


The above screen shot is just half of the whois information, but you can easily see the name of Registrant, Date of creation of Website, Address, Phone Number, email address, so many valuable informations.

The WHOIS information can assist the Law Enforcing Authorities in investigation & enforcing national &a international Laws. For example if a site is doing some unlawful activities, like terrorism, Internet Crime, racisist activities, child abuse. Fraud etc, they can be tackled by their WHOIS information.

There are many services, that gives WHOIS information FREE of cost. Some of them are: http://www.whois.net/
http://whois.ws/ ( This site also Tracks your IP address)
 http://tools.whois.net (This site also gives WHOIS information by IP Address).
Just go to any website mentioned above & write the name of website, whose WHOIS, you want to know, in the search box & hit enter--> you will get all the WHOIS information. Hope You will see the WHOIS, to know the Details of  a Website before entering that site or dealing financially with that site.
One Can Hide it's WHOIS by paying to it's Webhosting services.
Hiding WHOIS indicates, that the owner does not want a transparent behaviour & it looks fishy.
Enjoy &  keep reading & be Careful on Internet, Stop Internet Crime.

Media ( Audio or Video) files are Device specific, for example, if you will run a DVD disc in CD Player it will not run, because CD Player is not compatible with the DVD media file. For Playing a DVD file in CD Player, you must have to convert it into CD format. Many a times when you transfer a song or video from your Laptop or Computer, it does not play in your Mobile phone, because your mobile phone is not compatible with WMV file (Windows Media Video), or WMA (Windows Media Audio) file.

Problem with Screen Brightness?? Dim in Battery Power? Go to BIOS


How To Adjust Laptop's Brightness, When It is Not Responding.
I had recently faced a problem in my Laptop's Brightness. My Laptop setting by default is, that in Battery Power, the Brightness is automatically reduced or dimmed, to save battery power. If I had to increase the brightness ( both on Battery or A/c Power mode), the simplest way was ,keep pressing Fn (Function) & with another finger Up button till my desired Screen Brightness. The same thing I do to dim or reduce the Brightness of my Laptop, to save energy or increase the working time of my Laptop. Recently I faced a problem that the Screen Brightness of my Laptop was not responding to Fn + Up or Fn + Down arrow button. So what was happening was quite irritating. Whenever the power comes , the panel brightness become full, that is brightest & whenever the Laptop runs on Battery, the Laptop's Screen Brightness become very dim that is to lowest. I was not able to see properly to my laptops desktop in daylight.
All these happened due to worm infection to my Laptop, that reduced the brightness to lowest level. Adjusting the screen brightness, by control panel did not work at all.
If you are facing the problem of this kind or even not facing, you can adjust your Screen Brightness by modifying BIOS Setup. BIOS is Basic Input Output System. It contains all the information about your system & the setings, that is adjusted through Factory or Inbuilt settings.
HOW TO OPEN BIOS SETUP or SETUP:
Restart your Computer--> keep pressing F12 ( or see for which F button is for BIOS/Setup)--> BIOS SETUP will open.























How to Adjust Brightness:
Go to Video option in BIOS by pressing DOWN arrow button on the right side of your keyboard--> Brightness option will drop down, click it--> Brightness Adjustment will be seen on right side--> Adjust it as you desire--> save it & exit setup--> DONE.
















See in above picture( not the actual screen shot, I made it in Paint :-), but the actual screen looks almost same) , the factory default setting of my Laptop Screen Brightness is 3. You can adjust it to your desired level, to Full, to enjoy the full Brightness, even in Battery Power.
If you miscued or missed the Video button in BIOS SETUP, you can always go back by pressing ESC button.
** Imp: For going to BIOS you have to quicly press F12, as it is shown for a millisecond, or else you have to again restart your Laptop. The best way is keep pressing F12 as soon as it restarts.
ENJOY & keep reading.
