BackUp for NTFS User

2009-07-26T08:24:00.003+07:00

Users with NTFS are presented with a much more difficult problem. The NTFS file system is a secure file system that may not be easily accessed using other operating systems not compatible with NTFS, such as DOS or Windows 95/98/Me. Files on an NTFS drive may only be written by Windows XP and not by other operating systems.

Sure, some utilities allow NTFS to be accessed from Windows 95/98/Me. However, the mode of access is typically read-only; there is no chance of a restore that way. Some utilities or drivers do offer write access to NTFS file systems, however I don't recommend using them except as a last resort, because they may not be compatible with future versions of NTFS. To be able to access the registry files on an NTFS drive, you must install a second copy of Windows XP.

Windows XP supports multiple boot configurations quite effectively. To create a multiple boot installation of Windows XP, simply follow these steps:

Ensure that you have sufficient space on your hard drive for a second copy of Windows XP. Your second copy of Windows XP only needs to be the basic operating system—only a minimal amount of hard disk space is required. Figure 200MB to 1GB of hard disk space for this backup installation, depending on how much additional software and features you install. (Some users want two virtually identical installations, though this type of installation may consume substantially more disk space than a minimal installation of Windows XP.)
Using the Windows XP installation boot diskettes, begin your installation. When prompted for a destination, simply specify a new, different directory than the working installation of Windows XP. If you are farsighted enough, and are doing this before disaster has struck, you can install directly from the distribution CD without using the boot diskettes. To do so, run the Windows XP Setup program to begin the installation process. (You can also install directly from the distribution CD if the hardware supports a boot from the CD drive). Don't install to the same directory that your current working installation of Windows XP is installed into. That won't create a second copy of Windows XP.
The Windows XP Setup program will configure the Boot Manager (creating new entries in the boot menu) so that you are able to choose which copy of Windows XP you want to boot.

Disable 8.3 Name Creation in NTFS

2009-07-24T09:12:00.003+07:00

Files that use the 8.3 naming convention can degrade NTFS drive performance. Unless you have a good reason for keeping the 8.3 naming convention intact (such as if you’re using 16-bit programs), a performance gain can be achieved by disabling it. Follow steps below :

Go to Registry Editor (Run then type regedit and press Enter).
Find key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\
On right panel choose NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation, double click and change value to 1.
Exit the Registry Editor and reboot.

Windows XP Prefetch Parameters Tips

2009-07-23T09:09:00.005+07:00

This tips allows you to select which components will make use of the prefetch parameters. To see which files are gathered using each setting, clear the prefetch cache located at C:\Windows\Prefetch and then enable one of the settings listed below. Clear the cache and repeat for each setting.

Enter Registry Editor (Run then type regedit then hit Enter button).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters
On right panel, choose EnablePrefetcher to 0 to disable prefetching, 1 to prefetch application launch files, 2 to prefetch boot files, or 3 to prefetch as many files as possible.
Close Registry Editor window and restart your computer.

To do that, follow this trick below :

Go to Registry Editor (Run then type regedit and press Enter button).

Windows XP Tips - Change Virtual Memory Amount

2009-07-17T07:48:00.004+07:00

Computer maintenance should be perform, one of them is virtual memory management. Virtual Memory is temporary storage used by a computer to run programs that need more memory than it has. For example, programs could have access to 4GB of virtual memory on a computer's hard drive, even if the computer has only 32MBof RAM. The program data that does not currently fit in the computer's memory is saved into paging files. To change the size of the virtual memory paging file, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group.

Open System in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.
Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.
Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, and type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.
If you decrease the size of either the initial or maximum page file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Increases typically do not require a restart.

Notes

For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system. Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.
To delete a paging file, set both initial size and maximum size to zero, or click No paging file. Microsoft strongly recommends that you do not disable or delete the paging file.

Virtual Memory Default Settings:

For 128 MB RAM: Minimum: 192 Maximum: 384
For 256 MB RAM: Minimum: 384 Maximum: 1152

Faster File Copying

2009-07-06T11:26:00.000+07:00

One of the most annoying aspects about Vista is its very slow file copying from one computer to another. This issue has been hashed over and re-hashed many many times on the Internet and it was hoped that SP1 for Vista would finally solve this problem. Unfortunately, people who have already updated to SP1 have found that there is only a small incremental improvement in SP1 over pre-SP1 machines. I found what appears to be the solution on the Internet written in a blog by Mark Minassi. According to Mark, to problem seems to be with the autotuning feature of the new TCP stack and that even relatively new switches and routers may not like the autotuning feature. Try the following to see if transfer times improve: (reboot after resetting before trying out). In an “elevated” command window (must start “As Administrator”) type the following:

C:\> netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Prior to performing the above command, I tried a transfer of a 250 MB file from my computer to our server. The time to do the transfer was 2 min 39 seconds. After applying the above command, the transfer time dropped to 0 min 35 sec. Quite an improvement. Just to prove the point, I reentered the above command with “autotuninglevel=normal” and tried it again. My transfer time went back up to the 2 min 39 second time. So, it appears as if the above fix will work, at least for me. Try it and see if it works for you also.

Burning CD / DVD with Vista

2009-07-05T22:39:00.000+07:00

Besides having an interesting display Aero, Windows Vista will also have the ability to burn a CD or DVD, provided that your computer must have a CD-RW or DVD-RW devices. With this feature, you do not need to install the additional 3rd party of burning program. Actual procedure for doing burning in Vista is quite easy, so follow these steps:

Prepare the project that you will burn.
Enter the empty CD / DVD in your drive optic.
Wait until the CD / DVD read by your device until Autoplay window appears. In the Autoplay menu, select the "Burn Files to Disc Using Windows" options.
After that, the burn wizard will appear. At the beginning, you are prompted to provide your name on the disc. Then select the method of burning your disc if you're burning just to backup your computer, it is better to choose the Live File System option. But if the disc you used to distribute many files to another computer, select the Mastered. If you are done click Next.
In the next window, you can start selecting the files or folders that will you burn. After selecting a file or folder, drag it to the empty area on the right. So the process of burning will begin immediately.
Wait until the burning process is complete.

Now you have the disc that burning with windows vista. But burning feature in Windows Vista is still less than complete with 3rd party burning software. But for the standards uses, this features Windows Vista is still insufficient, another as if we want to burn another complex format file, like ISO or other .

Vista Check Boxes

2009-07-04T13:01:00.000+07:00

Vista has major improvements than XP, like visual effect and security system.

How To Remove Useless Device Drivers

2009-07-02T19:46:00.001+07:00

When you install a device driver on a Windows XP, the operating system loads that driver each time the computer boots regardless of whether the device is present—unless you specifically uninstall the driver. This means that drivers from devices that you have long since removed from your system may be wasting valuable system resources.

Follow these steps to view and remove these unnecessary device drivers:

Press Windows + Break to bring up the System Properties dialog box.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
Click the New button below the System Variables panel.
In the New System Variable dialog box, type devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices in the Variable Name text box and 1 in the Variable Value text box.
Click OK to return to the System Properties dialog box and then click OK again.
Select the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button.
In Device Manager, go to View | Show Hidden Devices.
Expand the various branches in the device tree and look for the washed out icons, which indicate unused device drivers.
To remove an unused device driver, right-click the icon and select Uninstall.

Fix Vista Error With IE7

2009-07-01T19:16:00.000+07:00

This tip applies specifically to McAfee but may also come up with other programs. When you initiate a download and run Download Manager using IE7, the following error is displayed before Download Manager scans for installed applications:

An error (0X800c0019) occurred when the download manager tried to access the MC website

This may indicate a problem with the Certification Revocation List (CRL) related to the certificate. This information is used to validate the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate needed to create the SSL connection used by Download Manager. Issues with the CRL may occur if replication of CRL updates to the hosting servers is disrupted. When IE checks the SSL certificate against a CRL host server that is not up to date, the validation may fail. If the validation fails, IE7 will prevent the SSL connection from being created. This failure is part of the intended functionality of SSL certificates used in conjunction with a CRL.

The error occurs when the local IE7 CRL is out of date and McAfee is not listed in the CRL on the Certificate Authority server contacted.
You can fix this issue by disabling the option for IE to check for server Certificate revocation.
Follow these directions to do this:

Click on Start, All Programs, and then Internet Explorer
Click Tools, Internet Options.
Select the Advanced tab.
Navigate to the security section and DESELECT the “Check for Server Certification Revocation”
Click Apply to save the changes.

You should now be able to download your update or program. Remember, to be on the safe side, after downloading successfully, you should reverse the above by ENABLING the “Check for Server Certification Revocation”.

Computer Maintenance

2009-05-07T21:14:00.001+07:00

Your computer and your car have something in common: they both need regular maintenance. No, you don't need to change your computer's oil. But you should be updating your software, keeping your antivirus subscription up to date, and checking for spyware. Read on to learn what you can do to help improve your computer's security. Here are some basics maintenance tasks you can do today to start improving your computer's security. Be sure you make these part of your ongoing maintenance as well.

Sign up for software update e-mail notices. Many software companies will send you e-mail whenever a software update is available. This is particularly important for your operating system, your antivirus program, and your firewall.
Register your software. If you still have registration forms for existing software, send them in. And be sure to register new software in the future. This is another way for the software manufacturer to alert you when new updates are available.
Install software updates immediately. When you get an update notice, download the update immediately and install it. (Remember, downloading and installing are two separate tasks.

A few simple steps will help you keep your files safe and clean

Update your software
Backup your files
Use antivirus software and keep it updated
Change your passwords

Developing ongoing maintenance practices

Now that you've done some ground work, it's time to start moving into longer term maintenance tasks. These are all tasks that you should do today (or as soon as possible) to get started. But for best results, make these a part of a regular maintenance schedule. We recommend setting aside time each week to help keep your computer secure.

Back up your files. Backing up your files simply means creating a copy of your computer files that you can use in the event the originals are lost. (Accidents can happen.) To learn more read our tips for backing up information.
Scan your files with up to date antivirus software. Use your antivirus scan tool regularly to search for potential computer viruses and worms. Also, check your antivirus program's user manual to see if you can schedule an automatic scan of your computer. To learn more, read our tips for reducing your virus risk.
Change your passwords. Using the same password increases the odds that someone else will discover it. Change all of your passwords regularly (we recommend monthly) to reduce your risk. Also, choose your passwords carefully. To learn more, read our tips for creating stronger passwords.

Making a schedule

One of the best ways to help protect your computer is to perform maintenance regularly. To help you keep track, we suggest making a regular "appointment" with your computer. Treat it like you would any other appointment. Record it in your datebook or online calendar, and if you cannot make it, reschedule. Remember, you are not only helping to improve your computer, you are also helping to protect your personal information.

23 ways to speed Windows XP

2009-04-30T09:05:00.001+07:00

Since defragging the disk won't do much to improve Windows XP performance, here are 23 suggestions that will. Each can enhance the performance and reliability of your customers' PCs. Best of all, most of them will cost you nothing.

To decrease a system's boot time and increase system performance, use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software -- the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine -- and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA hard drive with 8-MB cache buffer.
If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.
Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system. If you're not sure, here's how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the prompt, type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press the Enter key. This process may take a while; it's important that the computer be uninterrupted and virus-free. The file system used by the bootable drive will be either FAT32 or NTFS. I highly recommend NTFS for its superior security, reliability, and efficiency with larger disk drives.
Disable file indexing. The indexing service extracts information from documents and other files on the hard drive and creates a "searchable keyword index." As you can imagine, this process can be quite taxing on any system.
Update the PC's video and motherboard chipset drivers. Also, update and configure the BIOS.
Empty the Windows Prefetch folder every three months or so. Windows XP can "prefetch" portions of data and applications that are used frequently. This makes processes appear to load faster when called upon by the user. That's fine. But over time, the prefetch folder may become overloaded with references to files and applications no longer in use. When that happens, Windows XP is wasting time, and slowing system performance, by pre-loading them. Nothing critical is in this folder, and the entire contents are safe to delete.
Once a month, run a disk cleanup.
In your Device Manager, double-click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers device, and ensure that DMA is enabled for each drive you have connected to the Primary and Secondary controller. Do this by double-clicking on Primary IDE Channel. Then click the Advanced Settings tab. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to "DMA if available" for both Device 0 and Device 1. Then repeat this process with the Secondary IDE Channel.
Upgrade the cabling. As hard-drive technology improves, the cabling requirements to achieve these performance boosts have become more stringent. Be sure to use 80-wire Ultra-133 cables on all of your IDE devices with the connectors properly assigned to the matching Master/Slave/Motherboard sockets. A single device must be at the end of the cable; connecting a single drive to the middle connector on a ribbon cable will cause signaling problems. With Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems will prevent the drive from performing at its maximum potential. Also, because these cables inherently support "cable select," the location of each drive on the cable is important. For these reasons, the cable is designed so drive positioning is explicitly clear.
Remove all spyware from the computer. Once these programs are installed, be sure to check for and download any updates before starting your search. Anything either program finds can be safely removed. Any free software that requires spyware to run will no longer function once the spyware portion has been removed; if your customer really wants the program even though it contains spyware, simply reinstall it.
Remove any unnecessary programs and/or items from Windows Startup routine using the MSCONFIG utility. Here's how: First, click Start, click Run, type MSCONFIG, and click OK. Click the StartUp tab, then uncheck any items you don't want to start when Windows starts. Unsure what some items are? Visit the WinTasks Process Library. It contains known system processes, applications, as well as spyware references and explanations.
Remove any unnecessary or unused programs from the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel.
Turn off any and all unnecessary animations, and disable active desktop. In fact, for optimal performance, turn off all animations. Windows XP offers many different settings in this area. Here's how to do it: First click on the System icon in the Control Panel. Next, click on the Advanced tab. Select the Settings button located under Performance. Feel free to play around with the options offered here, as nothing you can change will alter the reliability of the computer -- only its responsiveness.
If your customer is an advanced user who is comfortable editing their registry, try some of the performance registry tweaks offered at Tweak XP.
Visit Microsoft's Windows update site regularly, and download all updates labeled Critical. Download any optional updates at your discretion.
Update the customer's anti-virus software on a weekly, even daily, basis. Make sure they have only one anti-virus software package installed. Mixing anti-virus software is a sure way to spell disaster for performance and reliability.
Make sure the customer has fewer than 500 type fonts installed on their computer. The more fonts they have, the slower the system will become. While Windows XP handles fonts much more efficiently than did the previous versions of Windows, too many fonts -- that is, anything over 500 -- will noticeably tax the system.
Do not partition the hard drive. Windows XP's NTFS file system runs more efficiently on one large partition. The data is no safer on a separate partition, and a reformat is never necessary to reinstall an operating system. The same excuses people offer for using partitions apply to using a folder instead. For example, instead of putting all your data on the D: drive, put it in a folder called "D drive." You'll achieve the same organizational benefits that a separate partition offers, but without the degradation in system performance. Also, your free space won't be limited by the size of the partition; instead, it will be limited by the size of the entire hard drive. This means you won't need to resize any partitions, ever. That task can be time-consuming and also can result in lost data.
Check the system's RAM to ensure it is operating properly. I recommend using a free program called MemTest86. The download will make a bootable CD or diskette (your choice), which will run 10 extensive tests on the PC's memory automatically after you boot to the disk you created. Allow all tests to run until at least three passes of the 10 tests are completed. If the program encounters any errors, turn off and unplug the computer, remove a stick of memory (assuming you have more than one), and run the test again. Remember, bad memory cannot be repaired, but only replaced.
If the PC has a CD or DVD recorder, check the drive manufacturer's Web site for updated firmware. In some cases you'll be able to upgrade the recorder to a faster speed. Best of all, it's free.
Disable unnecessary services. Windows XP loads a lot of services that your customer most likely does not need. To determine which services you can disable for your client, visit the Black Viper site for Windows XP configurations.
If you're sick of a single Windows Explorer window crashing and then taking the rest of your OS down with it, then follow this tip: open My Computer, click on Tools, then Folder Options. Now click on the View tab. Scroll down to "Launch folder windows in a separate process," and enable this option. You'll have to reboot your machine for this option to take effect.
At least once a year, open the computer's cases and blow out all the dust and debris. While you're in there, check that all the fans are turning properly. Also inspect the motherboard capacitors for bulging or leaks.

Following any of these suggestions should result in noticeable improvements to the performance and reliability of your customers' computers. If you still want to defrag a disk, remember that the main benefit will be to make your data more retrievable in the event of a crashed drive.

There are certain programs that Windows will start every time you boot up your system, and during the startup phase, they're all competing for a slice of your CPU speed. Extra or unwanted items in the startup list will definitely increase your startup time, perhaps by several minutes. Some common examples are things related to AOL, RealPlayer, Napster, instant messengers, and video managers. If you're not sure about an item, no big deal. You can turn it off, restart your PC, and see if everything seems to work. If not, you can always go back and re-enable an item in the Startup list. Just follow step by step below :

Windows XP Color Quality

2009-03-20T21:15:00.000+07:00

If you feel your desktop screen a little slow, try to reduce color quality of the display from 32-bit to 16 bit. In addition to accelerating the performance of desktop, the image of the screen is also more responsive. Changing the color level of 32 bits to 16 bits will reduce the image display on the desktop computer, especially those who need quality impressions with a color image such as photo realistic.
