Computer remains, as at today, the singular most used aid instrument or equipment invented by man. Other than it visibility in all facet of our lives, the fact of this is further reinforced by the fact of some of the personalities involved in it manufacture, domestication and commercialization having been for over half a decade, amongst the top three wealthiest men in the world.
What however, seems the irony in it popular acceptance and use is the fact that majority of the persons who are proficient in it use, almost always knows next to nothing about how to manipulate it to get the best of performance from it. Many a persons in this category, surprisingly, cannot trouble shoot; even for the simplest of challenges like inefficiency of processes, like booting.
But with little education, we discover that part of the aspect of what seems out of the know-how of so many and for which so much money and are spent on engineers plus the down time—discounting it cost implication- between when the problem pops up and when the engineer either finally arrives or it is taken to him, to corrects it , are to all intents and purposes, BASIC; that they are problems that could be easily fixed by the user if only a little time and, may be, resources was devoted to understanding it through information gathering and application. For instance, take,
BOOTING THE COMPUTER FASTER— everyone who has experienced slow start up of the computer system knows how frustratingly annoying and distressing it can be when as much as five minutes or even more is idled away waiting for it to read up the start up files and then some needless files that have been installed as start up files. And even at that, in some cases, it still, after start up continues booting for indeterminate time that one is forced to restart it again and again!.
As has already being stated here, the problem in most cases has to do with the numbers of files that has been added as start up files, or, temporary files and other such burdening acts. In some cases, it might be the RAM.
And as it is with slow booting, SO IS WITH FORMATTING. This is a permanent cure for problems like viruses which in some cases might be responsible for the slow booting process. Another reason for formatting computer is to reallocates the hard drive space or to clean it of remnants of files that might have been uninstalled but that has stubbornly attached it itself to the computer and more importantly, to prepare it for the kind of operating system we intend to use. The hard drive is easily the most important component in the computer; for it holds all the data stored in it including system files and therefore, requires attention because any of the file can cause it to malfunction, thereby causing general slowness in running.
It is therefore, not just necessary to ensure it remains in optimal working conditions through monitoring of what goes into for storing but also, by SPEEDING IT UP to perform it given task more effectively and efficiently.
There is really nothing to formatting a computer. It is more like preparing your normal flash drive, for use. The more important is FORMATTING A CRASHED HARD DRIVE BACK TO LIFE.
In all cases, there are three routes available:
USING A BOOTABLE FLOPPY MSDOS WHICH STANDS FOR MICROSOFT DISK OPERATING SYSTEM DISK ; OR
BY THE USE OF THE COMPUTER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IN WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
BY THE USE OF INSTALLER CD OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM
It bears repeating that becoming a basic computer engineer: FORMATTING A HARD DRIVE, BOOTING THE COMPUTER FASTER, STARTING IT IN A SAFE MODE OR QUICK MODE, RESTORING FILES DELETED FROM THE RECYCLE BIN, SPEEDING UP THE COMPUTER ON START-UP OR EVEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY AND SPEEDING UP COMPUTER HARD DRIVE SPEEDING UP THE COMPUTER ON START-UP GETTING RID OF A COMPUTER VIRUS: TRACKING THE AMOUNT OF INTERNET TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE , requires just A basic knowledge of the internal mechanism of the computer and this is not really difficult. It is teachable. And it is learnable. Even to the person who is coming in contact with the computer for the first time. Yeah! That is how easy it is.
Now, dwelling on the hard drive and it speed up, the standard recommendation from the engineers about the slowness of the system is usually for you to buy a bigger capacity drive but the truth is that the bigger the drive the more the slowness as the tendency to store more files would remember the opening process for files involves the system reading all files that predates the particular file it has been instructed to open and in some cases, those after it. Imagine the scenario. So the best option and most intelligent thing to do in trying to speed up the drive would not be to increase it capacity.
This piece is already becoming too long for the subject matter but Again and again, one says that it is not too difficult to become a basic repairer of computer faults, and why? You already know. And for that an eBook has already being prepared.
An easy, I mean the easiest I know, simple to follow eBook or otherwise on the subject of fault correction in computer covering the above underlined topics, and more. The simplicity of it is by the fact that it moves from heading to the list of materials needed for each operation straight on to the processes—in itemized format. No introduction. No needless preamble for each topic. No red carpet. That is, the main thing devoid of any needless jargons.
Feel free to get it at a time of your choosing @ investmentblueprints@gmail.com by simply sending an email about your experience with or about any of the challenges you have had with your computer.

Guide to rectifying computer faults

Online Business: Cost effective offline advertising strategies for online business
WHATEVER MEANS OR STRATEGY THAT POPULARIZES YOUR SITE(s) and creates effective demand for your products in the e-community remains the best strategy. After all, a strategy is only adjudged good if it meets and then, exceeds it target, if it can. However, while this is true it would do no harm if other strategies are tried, either for a change or altogether, incorporated into the wining one and this includes even the ones that has been tried before and adjudged a failure
THE SAME THING TRIED REPEATEDLY IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT WILL NOT PRODUCE THE SAME RESULT as we have been made to believe, over the years. People are, over time, bound to react either favourably or adversely. Remember the American president that tried repeatedly for the presidency and how the voters finally succumbed to his aspiration. It only holds true, if all conditions remains constant; and conditions never remain constant. No condition is permanent, says, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe.
SEMIANARS, when attending seminars, rather than a complimentary card with your name and links, WRITE A SHORT ARTICLE. If it related to the issue the seminar intends to discuss, the better. After all, those who are there are primarily interested in the direction of the seminar. You can compel a visit to your site by dividing the article into SEASONS, that is, parts. While the part one is filled with generalization and illustrations, features, you should at the tail end, indicate that a detailed explanation of the issues raised is available @ www.yourSITE.com . in the venue distribute it like you are part of the organises of the seminar.
Articles strategy is is easily applicable to those flyers we usually pick up in the banks and eateries. Rather than we deal in all kinds of ladies wears, like …, write on the trends in the fashion world for the ladies, or tips on effective colour combination. In other words, write on your USP, UNIQUE SELLING POINT. This is your strength in SWOT: STRENGHT, WEAKNESS, THREAT, and OPPORTUNITY. And here is another thing. Be always willing to discuss the issues should anybody—and they will, it is amazing the numbers of persons who wants to sell online but with almost nothing in their head— ask questions based on your articles. This will give you the appearance of an expert.
REACTION TO NEWSPAPER STORIES AND ARTICLES, go through the papers, particularly, the less widely read ones—yes, the less widely read one—as this guarantees that your reaction will be published, looking for stories or articles to react to. But if you wish to look in the most widely read ones, the best way or strategy would be for you to write an article first on the issue and have it published online immediately, then send a reaction to the papers smartly stating that you have a full article on the issue. Off course, with a URL, if it published on a URL other than yours, the more likely they are not going to edit the URL out. Only leave your email address in the article, but ensure that the auto responder is set, with good message and your URL. While reacting to stories is more favoured than writing a full scale article is that in reacting, you can pick an angle in the story to react to and still be considered bright.
WRITE ARTICLES FOR NEWSPAPERS AND OTHER PUBLICATION, on issues that are important to the public and send to a publication of your choice. Since the publication of your article is not automatic in widely read publications, the best option would be to start from the less widely read that are still looking for contributors like you. Don’t imagine that it is because your work is not good enough that it is not published in those nationally acclaimed Medias. No. it is due to factors like editorial policies, space constraint and timing of your work—whether it falls within the time such issue was considered news worthy—and even your public status. Know this, you might write better a articles— and that is frequently the case—than even a Secretary to a Government-federal, state or local on a particular subject, but his/her would be published ahead of yours. Have not you come across a “watery” article from highly placed a person that makes you, wonder?
OTHER METHODS OF USING ARTICLES EFFECIVELY INCLUDES having it posted in strategic places like your church notice board, hostels, department or faculties building in schools, just any where the public frequents and it has a chance of being seen by somebody. It might even be barbing salons. You can equally contract it distribution to a vendor friend. I mean the one you patronize frequently. You simply give it to him for a small consideration and he will insert them in the middle of highest selling papers and not widely read ones.
AWAY FROM WRITING, YOU CAN ALSO FEATURE IN TALK SHOWS—both in radio and television. This is more effective than the jingoist advert. During discussions, constantly refer to what you have done in the past on the subject and where the prove is, off course, it is in no other place than in your www.your SITE.com. if you don’t get to feature in those programs, call in, if they are PHONE IN. talk elaborately and quickly, Tell them about where to download the entire material. You can start by saying that discussant Mr. A, submissions agrees with you saw or your work @ VIBRATINGAUSTIN.BLOGSPOT.COM then go ahead to expatiate.
