Computers / Guide On How To Use System Restore On Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista And XP by jersol007(m): 5:20pm On Jul 24, 2017
The System Restore tool in Windows is one of the more helpful utilities available to you and is usually a great first step when you're trying to fix a major problem in Windows.

In a nutshell, what the Windows System Restore tool lets you do is revert to a previous software, registry, and driver configuration called a restore point. It's like "undoing" the last major change to Windows, taking your computer back to the way it was when the restore point was created.

Since a majority of Windows problems involve issues with at least one of those aspects of your operating system, System Restore is a great tool to use early in the troubleshooting process. It also helps that it's really simple to do.

Follow these easy steps to return Windows to a previous, hopefully working, state using System Restore:

Time Required: Using the System Restore tool to undo/reverse changes in Windows usually takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, at least in most cases.

Important: How you access System Restore differs between Windows versions. Below are three separate procedures: one for Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, one for Windows 7 or Windows Vista, and one for Windows XP. See What Version of Windows Do I Have? if you're not sure.

How To Use System Restore in Windows 10, 8, or 8.1

1.Open Control Panel. Check out that linked how-to if this is your first time, or just search for it from the Windows 10 Cortana/Search box or the Windows 8/8.1 Charms Bar.

Tip: We're trying to get to the System applet in Control Panel, which can be done very quickly from the Power User Menu but it's only faster that way if you're using a keyboard or mouse. Press WIN+X or right-click on the Start button and then click System. Skip to Step 4 if you end up going this way.

2. Tap or click on System and Security within Control Panel.

Note: You won't see System and Security if your Control Panel view is set to either Large icons or Small icons. Instead, find System, tap or click on it, then skip to Step 4.
3. In the System and Security window that's now open, click or tap System.

4. On the left, click or tap the System protection link.
5. From the System Properties window that appears, tap or click the System Restore... button. If you don't see it, make sure you're on the System Protection tab.
6. Tap or click Next > from the System Restore window titled Restore system files and settings.

Note: If you've previously performed a System Restore, you may see both an Undo System Restore option, as well as a Choose a different restore point option. If so, select Choose a different restore point, assuming you're not here to undo one.
7. Select the restore point you want to use from those in the list.

Tip: If you'd like to see older restore points, check the Show more restore points checkbox.

Important: All restore points that are still in Windows will be listed here, so long as that checkbox is checked. Unfortunately, there is no way to "restore" older restore points. The oldest restore point listed is the furthest back you can possibly restore Windows to.
8. With your chosen restore point selected, tap or click the Next > button.
9. Confirm the restore point you want to use on the Confirm your restore point window and then tap or click the Finish button.

Tip: If you're curious as to what programs, drivers, and other parts of Windows 10/8/8.1 this System Restore will impact on your computer, select the Scan for affected programs link on this page prior to starting the System Restore. The report is informational only, but might be helpful in your troubleshooting if this System Restore doesn't fix whatever problem you're trying to solve.

10. Tap or click Yes to the Once started, System Restore cannot be interrupted. Do you want to continue? question.

Important: If you're running System Restore from Safe Mode, please know that the changes it makes to your computer will not be reversible. Don't let this scare you away - chances are, if you're doing a System Restore from here, it's because Windows isn't starting properly, leaving you with few other options. Still, it's something you should be aware of.

Note: Your computer will restart as part of a System Restore, so be sure to close anything you might have running right now.
11. System Restore will now begin reverting Windows to the state it was in at the date and time logged with the restore point that you chose in Step 7.

You'll see a small System Restore window that says Preparing to restore your system..., after which Windows will almost completely shut down.

12. Next, on an empty screen, you'll see a Please wait while your Windows files and settings are being restored message.

You'll also see various messages appear underneath like System Restore is initializing..., System Restore is restoring the registry..., and System Restore is removing temporary files.... All in all, this will probably take around 15 minutes.
Important: What you're sitting through here is the actual System Restore process. Do not turn off or restart your computer during this time!
13. Wait while your computer restarts.
14. Sign in to Windows as you normally do. If you don't use the Desktop and aren't switched there automatically, go there next.
15. On the Desktop, you should see a small System Restore window that says "System Restore completed successfully. The system has been restored to [date time]. Your documents have not been affected.".
16. Tap or click the Close button.
17. Now that the System Restore is complete, check to see that whatever issue you were trying to fix is actually corrected.

If System Restore did not correct the problem, you can either a) repeat the steps above, choosing an even older restore point, assuming one is available, or b) continue troubleshooting the problem.

If this System Restore caused an additional problem, you can undo it, assuming it wasn't completed from Safe Mode (see the Important call-out in Step 10). To undo a System Restore in Windows, repeat steps 1 through 6 above and choose Undo System Restore.

How To Use System Restore in Windows 7 or Windows Vista

1. Navigate to the Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools program group.
2. Click on the System Restore program icon.
3. Click Next > on the Restore system files and settings window that should have appeared on the screen.

Note: If you have two options on this screen, Recommended restore and Choose a different restore point, select the Choose a different restore point option before clicking Next > unless you're absolutely sure that the preselected restore point is the one you want to use.
4. Choose the restore point that you want to use. Ideally, you'd want to choose the one just prior to noticing the problem you're trying to undo, but not any further back.

Any restore points that you manually created, scheduled restore points that Windows automatically created, and any created automatically during the installation of certain programs will be listed here. You can not use System Restore to undo Windows changes to a date that a restore point does not exist for.

Note: If you need to, check the Show more restore points or Show restore points older than 5 days checkbox to see more than the most recent restore points. There's no guarantee there are any but it's worth looking if you need to go back that far.
5. Click Next >.
6. Click Finish on the Confirm your restore point window to begin the System Restore.

Note: Windows will shut down to complete the System Restore so be sure to save any work you might have open in other programs before continuing.
7. Click Yes to the Once started, System Restore cannot be interrupted. Do you want to continue? dialog box.
8. System Restore will now restore Windows to the state that was recorded in the restore point you chose in Step 4.

Note: The System Restore process could take several minutes as you see the "Please wait while your Windows files and settings are being restored" message. Your computer will then reboot as normal when complete.
9. Immediately after logging into Windows after the reboot, you should see a message that System Restore completed successfully.
10. Click Close.
11. Check to see if whatever Windows 7 or Windows Vista problem you were troubleshooting has been corrected by this System Restore.

If the problem still persists, you can repeat the steps above and choose another restore point if one is available. If this restoration caused a problem, you can always undo this particular System Restore.

How To Use System Restore in Windows XP

1. Make your way to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools.
2. Click on the System Restore program icon.
3. Choose to Restore my computer to an earlier time and then click Next >.
4. Choose an available date on the calendar on the left.

Note: Available dates are those when a restore point was created and are shown in bold. You can not use System Restore to undo Windows XP changes to a date that a restore point does not exist.
5. Now that a date is chosen, choose a specific restore point from the list on the right.
6. Click Next >.
7. Click Next > on the Confirm Restore Point Selection window you see now.

Note: Windows XP will shut down as part of the System Restore process. Be sure to save any files you have open before continuing.
8. System Restore will now restore Windows XP with the registry, driver, and other important files as they existed when the restore point you chose in Step 5 was created. This could take several minutes.
9. After the restart is complete, log in as you normally do. Assuming everything went as planned, you should see a Restoration Complete window, which you can Close.
10. You can now check to see if the System Restore fixed whatever Windows XP issue you were trying to fix. If not, you can always try an earlier restore point, if you have one. If the System Restore made things worse, you can always undo it.

More About System Restore & Restore Points

The Windows System Restore utility will not in any way affect your non-system files like documents, music, video, emails, etc. If you were hoping that Windows System Restore would, in fact, restore or "undelete" any deleted non-system files, try a file recovery program instead.

Restore points don't usually need to be created manually. Assuming System Restore is enabled and working properly, Windows, as well as other programs, should regularly create restore points at critical junctures like prior to a patch being applied, before a new program is installed, etc.

See What is a Restore Point? for a lot more discussion on restore points and how they work.

System Restore can also be started in any version of Windows by executing rstrui.exe, which might be helpful in certain situations, like when you need to run it from Safe Mode or another limited-access situation.

Computers / What To Do First When You Buy A New Laptop by jersol007(m): 6:00pm On Jul 18, 2017
[img][/img]You have bought a new laptop. Great! And you can’t wait to start using your new device. But here are some recommended things you should do before you start using your laptop.

1. Uninstall useless programs that came with the laptop:
Most laptops from vendors come with unnecessary software and anti-virus trial versions. Bloat-ware is software that is near-useless, which companies pay system-builders to include on their machines. It can include media players, toolbars, and trial subscriptions to online services. In reality, all they do is slow down your machine. Remove them. Need help? Click here

Remove the bloat-wares before creating system recovery discs so that they are not included in the recovery.



2. Create System recovery Discs:
You don’t want to ignore this because it can save you a lot of trouble later on. Most manufacturers provide a program called RECOVERY MANAGER to create system recovery media on multiple DVDs or on external storage. Usually, you will be allowed to do this only once. So keep the discs safe.

Sadly even DVD can damage/corrupt, so your recovery discs aren’t totally safe in the long run. So it is recommended to burn an image (ISO image)of the recovery DVDs created and save them on an external hard drive. So in case something happens to your physical DVDs, you can use the images to rewrite to DVD. I recommend to always create an ISO image.

How to create a disk image?:
Check your CD/DVD burning software installed on your computer. If not buy or download free disc burning software. Most burning software provide an option to create an image of CD/DVD. Remember creating an image is not equal to simply copying the CD/DVD.

How to burn the image back to a DVD? :
Same refer your burning software. There should be an option to burn the disc image to a physical DVD disc.

3. Create a system repair disc:
You never know when your PC might crash for some unexpected reasons and you may not be able to access it. That’s when a system repair disc will come to your rescue. Remember, if you are lucky this disc will rust and you might not have used even once. But this is something you wanna keep handy. For details refer here: How to create system repair disc?

4. Install necessary software:
After removing the bloat-wares, the next thing to do would be to install necessary software. For most regular users, we would need software that can perform Word Processing, surfing, playing music, playing movies, etc.

Here are some recommended must have software on your computer all for FREE! The software suggested below are sufficient for every day use.
i. Video players: VLC player -Plays everything!!
ii. Audio players: Winamp (sounds ancient but good) or Windows Media Player is already there.

iii. Browsers:
a. Mozilla Firefox
b. Google Chrome
iv. Video and Internet calls: Skype
v. Word Processing: OpenOffice (Microsoft Office substitute)
vi. Compressors/Zip:
a. 7zip: 7zip - extracts everything
b. Winzip
c. WinRaR
vii. FREE Anti-virus: Uninstall the one month trial anti virus. There are good free anti virus out there
a. Microsoft security Essentials I personally will recommend this, its for Windows 7, Windows 8 and 10 already has Windows Defender installed
b. 360 Total Security with System Tuner
c. AVG
d. AVIRA
e. AVAST
viii. Audio Video Converter:
Freemake: All in one audio video converter various formats supported
ix. If you are a GEEK, you may try the following too
a. Dual Boot into Linux : Try Ubuntu
b. FTP Client: FileZilla
c. utorrent download:utorrent: Downloading of Magnetic links and torrent files

Now that most of your essential softwares are installed, and you didn’t have to pay a penny for them, sit back relax enjoy some music or movies. Cheers!!!

If there are other free software for general purpose use that you find worth installing, do let me know in the comments. If this post was useful, please share with a friend.

Computers / Common Laptop Issues And Fix by jersol007(m): 4:09pm On Jul 18, 2017
Just as living your life isn't easy also Being a laptop isn’t easy.
Their portability allows them to go anywhere: thrown into backpacks and strewn across beds, constantly moved from offices to cafes to kitchen tables.

It’s understandable that through all this activity and usage, laptops can begin to lose their edge. Whether it be overheating or slowing hard drives, our portable hardware companions can undergo damage and begin under performing.
We’ve identified four of the most common laptop issues and ways you can fix it.


1. Overheating

If you’re experiencing computer crashes or freezes, it may be a symptom of your computer overheating.
Solution: Clean our air vents and installing a filter over the inhalation vent.

Due to their lack of ventilation, laptops are particularly susceptible to overheating. Cleaning out the air vents allows proper airflow to the hardware that keeps your laptop operating smoothly. Adding a filter of inhalation vents protects your computer’s innards from being damaged by the dust and dirt particles that can enter through the vent.

2. Slow Hard Drive

Excessive load times and slow file transfers are often signs of a slowing hard drive.
Solution: disk fragmentation

Disorganized information forces your laptop to sift through fragmented data, slowing the process dramatically and forcing you to wait longer for tasks to be completed. There are many tools available for your to clean your laptop’s hard drive and organize your files. Doing a thorough cleanse and deleting old files can quickly improve the speed of your computer.

3. Battery Won’t Hold a Charge

Does your laptop only hold its charge for a few minutes if unplugged? That’s a faulty battery.
Solution: Battery replacement

Over time, lithium-ion batteries slowly lose their ability to hold a charge. After a few years, some batteries will can almost completely lose their ability to function properly. Replacing the battery is a simple process, as many just pop out after removing the bottom shield of the laptop. While the cost of the battery can be pricey, the benefit of a laptop that can operate without an outlet nearby normally outweighs the cost.

4. Virus or Spyware Infestation laptop repair

If your laptop is riddled with excessive pop ups and painfully slow download speeds, you may have virus or spyware infestation.
Solution: Install anti-spyware programs, use free virus scans

Malware can wreak havoc on your laptop, causing issues that make your laptop almost completely useless. Services like Norton offer effective antivirus and spyware protection as well as file backups and performance optimization.

Free tools like Ad-Aware and Spybot: Search and Destroy can also combat the onslaught of spam pop ups.
