How To Speed-up Windows

1. Speeding up your Windows PC startup time :

You can optimize your computer’s startup speed by launching Run on your Windows computer and typing “msconfig” without the quotes. This will take you to the System Configuration Settings which has five tabs – General, Boot, Services, Startup, and Tools.

Under the General tab, you’ll find 3 startup selections: normal, diagnostic, and selective. During normal startup, all device drivers and services will be loaded by your computer. If this is ticked, it may be the reason why your computer is taking long. Choose either diagnostic or selective startup to speed up the starting time of your Windows computer. Diagnostic startup only loads basic devices and services whereas with selective startup, you can choose to load neither system services nor startup items. After making a selection select “Apply.”

Under the Boot tab, select Advanced options so you can choose the number of processors to facilitate boot speed. If you have a dual-core or quad-core processor, assigning more than one of them to help with the start-up process can significantly boost your computer’s speed. Unfortunately, this optimization tweak is not so efficient on power so if you’re using a laptop, expect some battery drain after startup.

Finally, there’s the Services and Startup tab where you can specifically choose which services and startup items are going to load.

2. Speeding up your Windows Start Menu :

The Start Menu is another serious offender as it often takes time to load. Once again you need to open Run but this time, you will type “regedit.exe” to launch the Registry Editor. Go to theHKEY_CURRENT_USER folder and find Control Panel –> Desktop –> MenuShowDelay. Then, double click MenuShowDelay to edit its value. Type in the numbers on the blank and hit “OK.” Remember, the lower the value the faster the Start Menu will load.

Another trick for speeding up your Windows Start Menu would be to limit the number of shortcuts on your desktop. It could be that you just have too many icons on your desktop and that’s what is causing your computer to take long when loading the Start Menu.

3. Speeding up the Right Click Menu :

Yet another disappointing slow-down that Windows users experience is the time it takes the Menu to show up when hitting the right click. Installing third-party programs that allow you to remove items from the context menu should speed it up.

How to Play Android Games Fruit Ninja, Asphalt, Temple Run on Computer

To play Android games on computer you will need to Install BlueStack -an Android Emulator to run games on. In our earlier article we shared a guide on how to run Android application and games on computer using YouWave. At that time YouWave was a freeware but now YouWave has become a paid software, so in this article I’m going to tell how to play popular Android games and apps on computer for free using BlueStack.

What is BlueStack?

BlueStack provide an environment to play Android Games on PC. It has all the frameworks and a cloud connected system to run Android apps and games on PC. BlueStack can be called an emulator as it does not emulate any specific Android phone or Tablet.

Play Android Games like Angry Birds Space, Temple Run, Friut Ninja, Ashphalt on computer

How to Install BlueStack on Windows:

1. Download the BlueStack latest build from this link. Double click the executable file and it will start installing.

2. Go ahead with Onscreen instructions and you can complete the installation. The PC will be

restarted and the BlueStack service will start from Next boot.

3. Open BlueStacks, search for the Application you want to install, you will get a few games like Angry Bird, Fruit Ninja and Temple Run on the repository. Once you find the app click install.

4. It will take a few minutes to download and install the game. You will be able to launch and play the game, you will need to use your Keyboard and mouse.

We have tested Bluestack on our PC and there are some HD games available and seems to be working fine. You can Play Temple Run, Angry Birds Space, Fruit Ninja, Roll in the Hole, Sleepy Jack, World of Goo, Paper Zombie, Gorilla Bob, Vengeful Samurai.

Keep in mind that you need a powerful computer to run all Android games on computer smoothly. Some games need special keyboard and mouse combination to play, for example to play Temple Run on computer you can use left mouse button to control the left, right, up, down movement and sliding control can be done using left and right arrow key on the keyboard.

Latest Bluestack update: Now, Mac OS X users can enjoy Android apps too, Bluestack is now available for Mac users as well. But right now BlueStacks will be releasing the alpha version that will not be able to too many apps but will be handling the Basic apps and Games. Mac version is pretty bare featured when compared to the BlueStacks on Windows.

Clean Up your PC to Avoid Overheating Problem

It's just about two days ago. I had been working on my PC for one and half hour. Suddenly the system got shut down without showing any error message! Immediately after 10 or 15 seconds I tried to power on the system. Power signal appeared but lasted for only 3 seconds. Then I pushed the switch again but same thing happened. I decided to wait for few minutes. At the third attempt I was able to turn on the system. 

After turning on the system, I ran an application named Speccy, a program that shows detailed information about computer, to check the system temperature. Oh my Goodness, I was really surprised seeing the result. My room is not air conditioned and its temperature may be under 30 degree Celsius. But the system temperature was as below:

Processor               :   82⁰ to 85⁰
Motherboard       :   75⁰  to 80⁰
Hard Disk             :   50⁰ and Above 

So, what happened actually? What's the reason. Was it caused by the room temperature? No, not at all. Because only 30⁰ temperature is nothing for a PC. Actually the problem was dust. Yes, I haven't open the PC case for more than a year. And I didn't clean it up for a long time. CPU Fan, Motherboard and all other parts of the system unit was under dust! 

So I opened the case and cleaned it up properly. After cleaning up the system the temperature was as below:

Processor               :   55⁰ to 60⁰
Motherboard       :   55⁰  to 58⁰
Hard Disk             :   45⁰ to 50⁰

This looks quite normal. Isn't it? 

It's been more than a year when I wrote a post about Computer Maintenance: Extend Your PC Life. Of course it applies only for Desktop PC. 

Many beginner level PC users report that- My PC gets restarted after running for a few hours. One of the prime reasons for this problem is Overheating. Sometimes it might be caused by virus. In other cases if your Windows is not genuine, then it may be restarted automatically by Windows itself. 

Now, I would like to discuss how to clean up the system unit of a desktop PC. Open the PC case. Observe the internal condition of the system- Amount of Dust. If you have a machine to clean dust use it carefully. Otherwise clean it using a soft cloth or any other cleaning materials. Make sure the piece of cloth is not wet. 

Gently clean the Motherboard, RAM, CPU Fan, Hard Disk Surface etc. Remove the CPU fan if possible. Then clean it properly with a brush. Unplug and plug the internal connectors with care. You should clean your PC in that way 2 times a year. 

Precautions:

While cleaning the system, keep in find the following issues:

• Never rub the surface of the Motherboard with pressure. Because it consists of numerous connections that look like zigzag lines. 

• Make sure the tissue or cloth you're using is not wet.

• The cloth should be as soft as possible.

• Unplug and plug the internal connectors properly. Never blend any pin. 

• While rubbing by the side of a capacitor, make sure you're not pressuring it. If any of the capacitors breaks down then you get a lot works to do . . . ! 

Whatever you do, do it with care. If you are not capable enough, then take help from expert.
