Free Your Head from Headaches: Perform Computer Maintenance

Computer equipment maintenance is very necessary to have your computer equipment work efficiently, have it run smoothly. There are a several ways of doing computer maintenance but there are some other ways that are missed. Here is the complete checklist to make the computer maintenance at its fullest.

The things that should be kept in mind are tasks that include backing up, setting up firewalls, keeping computer healthy, resolving power issues, putting a stop to spying, and keeping away from trouble.

Backing Up: Any document that you create on an external drive should be kept safe with backups using other external drives such as USB. However, you should also provide backup for important data or any files saved in your computer hard disk. In case you have to reinstall, also keep backups on computer programs to avoid downloading these programs again and waste a lot of your time. The frequency of providing backups depends on how often you make changes to your documents. Software drivers and operating system disks should be kept in safe place that is moisture-free and easily accessed.

Setting Up Firewalls:

Firewalls are responsible in keeping your computer away from programs that would enable others to access your computer. Hence, it is termed as the “locked gate” for computer hard drive. This can be set up with the use of internet security software such as Norton and others.

Keeping Your Computer Healthy: The best way of keeping your computer healthy is to install a good antivirus software. Often, aside from firewall, this also comes with when availing Internet Security software. The antivirus program scans the files stored in your hard disk and even other external disks and email to detect if they are infected with viruses or worms. This way, you can decide whether to open the file or email message or not because it will give you an alert message and sound. Of course, only nuts would open a virus-infected files or email messages. Update your computer regularly by activating the virus scanning. You can actually set the scanning automatically by setting Automatic Updates.

Power Issues: Electrical surges can damage your computer so it is always recommended to use an excellent power surge protector. In buying one, you should me cautious of surge protectors with MOV or metal oxide varistor because it damages any time. It might be cheap but you put your entire home in risk of fire.

Putting a Stop to Spying: Spyware programs are recommended to have installed in your computer to avoid other parties who are remotely monitoring your computer secretly. Spywares can be downloaded from different online sources; however, choose only the ones that are recommended by computer experts. If you don’t know one, you may try asking the good guys in computer equipment rental shops in your area.

Keeping Away from Trouble: You should also be cautious enough when downloading any data forms. Some have viruses, spywares and Trojan worms in them. Downloadable files from unconfirmed sources are potentially damaging so better keep away from them.

Computer Maintenance can be Fun

We usually think of computer equipment maintenance as another burden or an addition to our household chores. Like any other household chores, computer maintenance is also a requirement to keep it running smoothly and prevent computer problems that may arise any time. However, this kind of mentally can be changed if you know enough about how computer works.

The computer equipment maintenance can be done in a lot more different ways. You can have automatic updates, website updates, and with the use of utilities.

Automatic Updates: I don’t know if computer owners find it fun seeing their computer updating on its own. But generally, the task of setting up the computer updates such as anything that comprises the operating systems (like Microsoft Windows, Internet Security like firewall and antivirus software) is fun to watch. Your mind would think how fabulously technology works. It is a threat not to update the versions of your internet security software and antivirus. If your computer is often used for downloading data and many types of files, it is advisable to have it updated as often as possible.

Windows Update can be done periodically with Internet Explorer browser. It automatically detects latest versions of the currently installed components of Windows.

With Windows XP Home Edition, you can also automate the critical updates by setting it up in the Control Panel. Just go to System then click Automatic Updates so that you can modify the frequency and time of updating.

Website Updates: Automating the software updates can be done by checking the respective manufacturers’ site. Going to the Help menu of the software manufacturer is the easiest and most doable way of getting the things done. You will be directed to a page containing the instructions on how to set up the automation of the updating of software versions.

Using Utilities: It is crucially important to have your computer be updated of its components. This is to keep the bad guys away and those who use it. Some internet security software is composed of important tools such as firewall, antivirus, porn-blocker, spyware detector, pop-up blocker, and spam filter. This kind of utility is a great help to keep your computer free from computer viruses, spyware and other things that are potentially computer destroyer.

Of all kinds of computer maintenance performed for computer, defragmenting is not really necessary. The recent review from PC World (a computer magazine) declared that defragmenting does not improve computer performance anymore. Defragmenting is done to gather up the pieces of files and places them together in one adjacent location of the computer hard drive.

Reasons Why Renting is Good

Buying is always the best way of owning something. However, if you don’t have enough financial resources to buy relatively expensive item such as computer equipment or laptop, renting would best suit for you. Having a computer this way offers great benefits in which some of these benefits are unrealized.

There are several options to avail a computer equipment rental service. Such growing number of online PC rentals provides an opportunity for you as a client to have as many choices as you wish. This way, you have the freedom and control which among the online computer shops you would choose. Of course, you would choose a company that would serve you best for a worth-it price.

Computer equipment rental shops are getting popular not because they offer rental service or they sell computer equipment and peripherals. They are becoming popular because of other services that they offer. They also offer rental service on other items that are of in demand use such as household items like furniture, clothes washer and many others.

Recently, stores offer incentives to people who avail their electronic or computer equipment rental service. The more often you avail the service, the more credits you can have. Your credibility as a rental client is established well especially if you have good record in renting any item from a particular store.

Aside from the mentioned benefits, the payment schedule among computer equipment rental stores is usually flexible. Meaning, it would be the rental stores who adjust to their clients in terms of payment schedule. As a client, you can set payment plan that best suits for you. You can choose from monthly, weekly or every other week or month as payment schedules to make sure that even paying to the rental service that you avail won’t be a burden to you. Most of the online PC rentals that are able to establish credibility in this particular market industry offer money back guarantees and complete customer satisfying services. However, you should take note of how long does the offer would last in a specific rental option.

Other good thing that computer equipment rental shops offers is that they let you try the service for a particular period of time before having you decide to avail the service. Even on computer sales, they also allow the potential clients to try using the item you would be buying. This way, you can have the privilege to check if the item you would likely buy has all the necessary features you need or if it has defects which can either be minor or major. This would let you, as the customer, have the option for choosing other related item that best suits your needs and wants.

Points to Consider When Renting a Laptop

Laptop has become one of the most in demand technology products because of the benefits that it gives to the users. Because it is handy, a lot of people find their work done more efficiently with a laptop. Most the jobs depend on laptops now. Business presentations are done wherever with a laptop. Unlike desktop computers, laptops are easy to bring wherever its user would go. However, laptops are more expensive than desktop computers.

To respond to that issue, there came a lot of online companies that offers rental of wide range of laptops. Renting is the best way of saving even if others find it impractical. But for desperate ones who got no computer available to use for the upcoming business presentation, going to notebook rental equipment shop is the best option to save and getting things done immediately.

Let me elaborate some things that you need to consider when availing notebook computer rental service.

Accessibility: During holidays, you need to go to places such as beach or any other beautiful places on earth. With a laptop in hand, you can have the best tool to accompany your day. You will need not to spend time in internet café. Perhaps, you are spending time alone in hotel and with nothing but laptop; certainly, you can get through boring moments. Bringing a laptop to wherever you would travel provides security and feeling of ease because laptop can provide anything you need for travel and entertainment. So when renting, select the ones that would best suit your needs.

Rental Time: You have to check the rental time. It is advised to go to three or more computer equipment rental shops to compare which offers the longer rental time for a particular price. Check the rental agreement of laptops, the terms and conditions and penalties if ever there will be damages if returned. You have the options such as short term computer rental or long term computer rental. It is cheaper to go for monthly rate than daily rate if you are going to use the item longer.

Your Specific Needs: Perhaps, you are going to need large number of laptop items for specific event such as trainings. If you are training something that involves advance technology as topic, then you need to acquire high end laptops. If your training isn’t about that, then you may have ordinary laptops with simple features which are of course, cheaper.

Since computer rental industry is also getting bigger, the number of online computer rental shops is also increasing. This event makes the searching of good shops to rent computer equipment is made difficult. If you are someone who ventures in computer rental or audio visual rental service providing, then you must know the top 5 qualities of a good computer rental hub in order to stand out from your competitors in the industry.

There are several computer rental shops but only few offers the services that customers are looking for. Quality service and complete inventory of stuff for sale and for renting are not enough; your establishment, the shop itself, should also have other features in order to attract more clients and make them return to re-avail the online computer rental services you offer.

Here are the top five qualities of a good computer shop:

(a) Fast computers: Clients nowadays are expecting too much especially on technology products like computers and audio visual stuff. Giving your client with computers that belong to decade old versions would certainly disappoint them. Of course, you will be receiving bad testimonials about your service. Fast computers are those that are of new models. New models of computers do not necessarily mean to be the latest release models; at least it should be a bit new. Computers this type runs and process tasks fast because of higher speed computer processor. In order to achieve higher computer speed, your computer RAM (Random Access Memory) must be higher.

(b) Fast access: Your computer equipment rental shop should also have fast internet connection. Most of your clients would and avail your service because of having this service feature. Checking your internet service provider for faster connection is needed. Of course, if you find that your ISP is not performing well, then it is better to look for another one—the one that can give faster connection speed that people need.

(c) WiFi: WiFi connection is almost omnipresent among publicly exposed establishments such as coffee shops, bookshops, hotels and restaurants. Adding WiFi features of your computer rental shop is a great advantage because it would mean additional income.

(d) Coffee and Food: Services like offering coffee and food to the clients is not just good for your income but also good for your clients. It is because, this service feature is one of the most in demand. It helps the client to feel relaxed. Of course, anyone likes a place where they can have their stomach get satiated with coffee and excellent food.

(e) Printing and Fax: Of course, your computer rental shop would not be complete without printers and faxes. Printing and faxing services, I would say, is essential to any business that offers computer equipment rentals. Most of the people who avail services like audio visual rental or online computer equipment rental services are office workers if not students who are always doing paper requirements. Taking advantage of this market would have you lead in the competition of getting the highest number of online computer rental clients.

Recycling Computer Equipment

The evolution of technology has banes and boons. Life became easier since the time when technology was invented. Its rapid development has even further enhanced the way of life in general. Doing more in less time and doing big or heavy things easily are achieved with the help of technology products. Comes with this is the harm that it gives to the environment and to the people in general.

Since technology is evolving fast, the things that it produces also quickly becoming obsolete. The need to replace them with newer versions that better serve the users’ needs is inevitable. If the obsolete models are replaced, what would happen to them? Are they just destined to the garbage pit under the earth? Unfortunately, the answer is YES, they are.

Computer equipments are highly toxic to the environment. According to the research that 75% of obsolete computer equipment products are being thrown into the garbage pit, and stored like a time bomb waiting to blow off the earth.

Computer parts such as cathode ray tubes, circuit boards and other related materials contain chromium, mercury, and lead. These elements are highly dangerous. If they are thrown in traditional ways such as dumping them in a garbage can to be thrown later in a dumping site or under few feet below the ground, they would be absorbed by the soil and underground water. Hence, majority of the community are relying merely on underground water, great health risk will be coming at hand. The landfill, where the technology product wastes are dumped, is the most hazardous place. The incineration of wastes would bring toxic elements into the air. Air and water pollution can kill not only the trees, water, air, land and all sorts of environmental components, but such pollutions can also kill the inhabitants of the earth, the humans.

That is the reason why we should not throw our electronic wastes. We can actually make money out of them. So, it is better to keep them; perhaps, you can utilize some of the computer parts for other technology equipment products. The good news is that there are organizations that buy electronic waste. The electronic wastes are recycled by these organizations for helpful purposes.

5 Points to Understand about Audio Visual Technology

Audio visual technology products are making life easier in general. They make the business operations as easier like never before. They also help companies to cut cost and improve their productivity. Audio visual technology as a whole has improved the way everything is done. Communication for instance; it is made possible and cheaper regardless of distance.

There are five things that we should get acquainted with so that we can understand what audio visual technology is all about.

(a) Video Conferencing
(b) Digital Signage
(c) Costs
(d) AV Specialists
(e) Future

Video Conferencing: Among the technology products, video conferencing is one of the effective tools to cut company expenses while enhancing the productivity. Though video conferencing is not already new in the market, it is becoming more advanced and cheaper as time goes by. Face to face communication is very essential especially if the involved parties have to tackle very important matters. Entrepreneurs now are enabled to talk no matter where they are. Business meetings can be done without traveling because video conferencing enables the involved to talk face to face in real time, live via the internet. Internet knows no boundaries except distance that takes light years. With video conferencing, business partnership is strengthened because constant communication is made possible even if one of the business partners is assigned to the other end of the earth. Compared to telephone conferences, video conferencing enables the ability to make presentations.

Digital Signage: Digital signage is almost the same with video teleconferencing. However, unlike video conferencing, digital signage only offers one way communication between parties in real time and more on data updates and presentations. How does it work? For instance, a call center service provider may have a plasma screen where the data from other organizations are displayed. Important data and presentations are handed to CEO via digital signage.

Costs: Of all the technology products, AV technology is different. Every newest version of technology stuff comes with a high price tag but audio visual products do not live with that tradition. The benefits that AV technology offers to its users are more on cost saving. Any entrepreneur does not have to spend more money just to travel across the country or to other countries just to attend business meetings. Video conferencing has made it possible for a far cheaper cost. This is also true with digital signage; the collecting of all the company data to be personally handed over the receiver is not necessary anymore.

More points to be tackled on the next blog entries. In the mean time, try visiting TR Vidcom. The company has branches in US and New Zealand that offers customers with all kinds of audio visual solutions.

Fixing the Computer from Viruses

Computer virus repair has varying difficulty depending on the kind of virus. If your computer is invaded by the most recent version that cannot be fixed by the available antivirus you have in your computer, the process would get even nastier.

Some computer viruses would even make you pissed off to hell. These viruses can make ruin the Windows Startup running by keeping your computer rebooting all over and over again. If this is the case, then restart your computer but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a protected Windows mode that allows your computer to boot up without utilizing or loading your computer drives. If you can’t boot into Safe Mode, then a computer expert you can find in any computer hubs such as computer equipment rentals.

Running your computer in Safe Mode allows you to troubleshoot your computer. You can run antivirus software and have everything gets fixed such as files being infected with virus.

The best way of not getting viruses into your computer is to prevent any activity that is virus-prone such as downloading any software or any form of data from unreliable sites. Also, avoid clicking on attachment files from spam emails because they contain different versions of virus and worms that could damage your computer.

Windows XP Formatting

The usual way of fixing your computer from being damaged of virus is through formatting your hard drive, according staff I met in online PC rentals. Reformatting is the most proven effective way of getting rid of viruses and worms that have already crowded your computer and playing games with your software, making everything nonfunctional.

Memory reformatting is most likely the last option when your computer is damaged beyond the point of repair. Since computer damage is always possible to happen, it is recommended to have all your important saved in two or more backup memory such as flash drive (USB). Besides, this will keep your files safe when formatting your computer because the process will lose all of the data and other files stored.

Formatting completely cleans everything; it would leave not a single byte of your files stored before the process is done. Getting the files back with a reformatted hard drive is almost not possible. There may be chances if you hire a data recovery expert which is quite expensive. Providing backups for your files is the excellent way of saving not just your data and files, but also your pocket.

It is quite easy to format Window XP on a newer computer. All you need is just Windows disk and then, you are on your way of getting the formatting done.

Formatting your computer varies according to the brand of your computer. Sony, Compaq, and Dell have varying formatting procedures. That is why it is important that the manual of the computer you just bought must be kept in safety. Follow the instructions in the manual carefully and properly to avoid further damaging your computer.

Computer Problem: Automatic Shutting Down

When your computer experiences problems such as sudden shutting down while browsing or encoding something, it is more likely caused by virus or a few other factors.

Restart your computer and when you see that the Windows is running fine, try scanning your drives with antivirus software. If you cannot get into Windows then try restarting again and run in Safe Mode. You can run you computer in Safe Mode by pressing F8 right at the moment that it is starting up.

A computer being run in Safe Mode does not any driver so this can enable you to troubleshoot your computer hardware and software problems. With Safe Mode, you won’t be having major Windows issues.

According to computer experts, every Windows version has its own problems and causes of shutting down. For instance, Windows 98 automatically shuts down when the computer has memory problems and several badly written drivers.

Windows registry can also be a problem. This is a very common cause of shutdown problems with any Windows version. The registry has to be cleaned from unnecessary files. A computer with clean registry runs smoothly. Buying a registry cleaner that is available in any computer stores or computer rental products center.

Signs and Recovery of Hard Disk Failure

Hard disk drive is the most useful that despite of its unreliability (some times), is trusted with all important data that may be information about the company, or files such as project plans or school paper requirements.

I experienced hard drive failure before. I was just thankful that the computer was just rented from an online computer rental store; so the damage did not cost me a lot. According to one of the store staff’s advice, we should expect hard drive failure because even if the computer unit is bought from most reliable and famous brand, the problem happens unpredictably. So, it is better not to give your full trust to your computer hard drive.

Some of us think that when your computer is hanging up, restarting is the best cure. However, there are other possible causes of this occurrence. The reason may be the hard drive and that it needs recovery. Since some computer owners consider hard drive failure as something worst to happen, hard disk recovery is studied as a different concept.

Hard Drive Failure Symptoms: Corresponding error messages as pre-warning of hard drive failure may some times do not appear. There are other signs that you should know before everything gets black out. This is in case that there are no warnings of hard disk failure. If you are hearing clicking or scratching sounds, lower ratings of running performance, and unexpected behavior such as sudden popping out of browsers and other applications, these are already signs that you are experiencing hard drive failure.

Sign and Recovery of Hard Disk Failure...continued

Precautions: You need to unplug the system immediately if the hard drive is having unusual sounds while it is running. This minimizes the data loss stored in your hard drive and preserves the probability of hard drive recovery. Do-it-yourself repair is not recommended unless you are a computer expert by your own, such as those friendly people I met in online computer equipment rental store. Opening the hard drive would have it exposed to dust particles, encouraging further damaging. Dust particles create obstacles in the internals of hard disk during the recovery process. Computer experts advise that the hard drive should only be opened in clean rooms; the ones that are assured of total absence of dust particles.

Recovery of Hard Drive: Most of the time, the data being stored in the hard disk are really important. The computers used in the company are usually stored with data that are vital to its daily operation. The best option to have your data recovered from failed hard disk is to look for tested and reliable data recovery service provider. Choose only the one that is reputed as the hub of experts.

Computer Software Testing Steps

Like any technology product available in the market such as computers and cellular phones, testing is very necessary to measure the capacity and more importantly, to determine of the features of the product performs well. This is also the same with software development products; computer software testing is needed to know if everything is working excellently.

The process involved in Web and software development should be well-thought off. The structure is the process a little bit complicated being imposed on the computer software product development. The process is also called “software life cycle.”

There are several steps that must be undergone when software testing. Several models of software development process are available in this specific market; each model illustrates unique approaches to variety of testing activities.

Here are some of the models of computer software testing process.

Iterative Process: The construction of initially diminutive but ever larger portions of a software development process is called iterative software development. This helps the stakeholders involved in the project to reveal significant issues earlier before problems arise. Commercial software developers prefer this model because of provides easier way to meet the goals of the customers whose wants are yet unknown.

Agile Process: The process that is built on the bases of iterative development is called agile development. This process is user-centric and lighter than conventional approaches. One of its attributes is using constant feedback as the primary mechanism of process control. Unlike planning method, feedback method is performed through regular checks and releases of the software product.

Steps in Computer Software Testing

Extreme Programming or XP: this is the most famous iterative process. The processes are performed by starting in small steps to the batch processes which is the older model of approach. The developer has to write automated tests. This is to provide concrete development objectives. What follows is the programming. There will be deployment of incomplete functional system for chosen users. At this point of activity, the practitioner would start on writing tests for each module again.

Waterfall Processes: There are seven steps to be followed in this kind of software development process: (a) software design, (b) customer requirements specification, (c) implementation, (d) integration, (e) testing and validation, (f) deployment, and (g) maintenance.

After the framing has been put up, software builders need not to change the foundation or base of a house. This is done when one of the steps mentioned earlier is finished.

Waterfall processes is the kind of software development testing that is performed only in high-risk projects. Since the process is done with utmost care, there will be no errors to happen such as inaccurate engineering activities (i.e. management and analysis of requirements).
