Increase ur RAM and so ur System Speed




1). Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents.

2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.

3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar).

4). Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.

5). Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM. In any multitasking system, minimizing an application means that it won't be utilized by the user right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.

How To Copy Movie from a Scratched CD



How To Copy Movie from a Scratched CD

This is the most common problem, people encounter. They get a CD/DVD on rent and try to copy the movie. But alas, the CD is scratched, so after sometime, you get a cyclic redundency check error.

Well, things are not as hopeless as it seems. Here are few methods:

--[ONE ]-- Use Nero to create an image of the media. In most of the ways, this happens, so that you can later use Nero Image Drive to mount the CD and then view it.
--[TWO]-- Create a new Briefcase, by right clicking and choosing a new BriefCase, in the folder that you want to copy the file. Then synchronize the briefcase with the MPEG/AVI file of the video. At any instant of time, if you feel that the system hangs up, just close the synchronization. This method will copy the file, to the scratched extent. This method isparticularly useful, if the scratch is at the end of the movie

Fool keylogger and protect yourself from hackers


when you surf net at public computers or net cafes…maybe it can be even at your friends house..etc.. there is a danger that a possible key logger software can steal your password, so i have come up with a simple and effective way to counter it…at least 50% …

lets see how simply you can fool a key logger,


When you choose passwords try using simple, capital & numbers as a combination..

when you enter them in a public computer rather than entering it in sequence try entering it in a combination

for this trick suppose my password is - hi2K1987 [DEMO password]

Now when you break your password into 3 combinations and enter them one after another (without using the backspace key) so what i did was i entered 2k first then using the mouse i went to the start of the password field and entered hi then i placed the cursor at the end and entered 1987 now simply the key logger is fooled.

he will read mah password as: delghi2k1987(fooled)

Now imagine if you use a set of numbers for your password and you enter them in a combination…

so, guys next time you enter your password you know you are safe, jst a simple trick so u can use ur own imagination..
