Quick fixes for Windows-Part 5

 

“I always go for the latest Windows security patches, but sometimes I neglect other programs which stand as a security risk when they are not up-to-date.”

Fast Fix: Now to test the security of the apps, you need to use software called Secunia Software Inspector which is available freely. The process is simple. This software doesn’t need any kind of installation. Once you have it on your pc, click start and follow the instructions. Here the scan requires Sun Java JRE 1.5.0_12 version which works with Windows 2000 SP4 and later editions.

What does this normally do? Well, it identifies all the apps that are outdated. If you want for more details, then click the plus sign next to each entry. Many applications on the disk leave older versions when installing updates. This is mainly to ensure backward-compatibility. Remember to backup the system before you start deleting older versions of concerned apps.

 

“Experts always have an opinion about defragmentation saying it helps the system improve its performance. But the problem here is, finding time to defrag the disks is getting more difficult.”

Fast Fix: Well, defragmention can be a good way to go if you find that your system performance is deteriorating. Make windows do the disk-defragmenting. Please refer back to part 3-Quick Fix 3. Here you should make a change. When editing the command line in Advanced Properties, change to cmd.exe /c defrag c: -f -v > “c:\doc\report.txt” (the path to your report file may be different).

When coming to Vista, do the same, but change the text in the ‘Add arguments (optional)’ box to /c defrag -c -f -v -w > “c:\doc\report.txt” (the path may differ).

Quick Fixes for Windows-Part 3

I have been paying for the net connection but my router isn’t up-to-date.

Quick Fix: First you need to check whether your router supports technologies for faster connections. I would suggest you going for Microsoft’s Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool. This tool can help you in checking your router properties. If there’s a corporate firewall, then you may not see accurate results. When you test, it can interrupt connections which are running, so it would be better if you check when you have your internet connection inactive.

After the results are displayed, if you come to a conclusion that your system doesn’t support technology for fast connections, then you may have to go for a new router.

Internet explorer looks unusable for browsing web.

Quick Fix: First reset IE’s options to its original state. Toolbar configurations, list of favorites and others will be unaffected and browser add-ons will be disabled. Cookies, browsing history and other settings will be set back to their default values. Follow the points closely. Open IE (internet Explorer). Now on the toolbar choose Tools->Internet Options. Select Advanced tab, click Reset. Confirm it by clicking Reset again and then Close and OK two times. When you are done, restart IE and watch the changes.

Programs can protect data by checking PC’s disks for fixing problems. Sadly, I rarely take time to use the tools.

Quick Fix: Planning a task to handle this on its own at regular intervals can take only a few minutes. First, check your disk manually. Go to Start, then Run (or you can use shortcut by pressing Windows-R) command line opens. Now type cmd.exe /c echo y|chkdsk c: /f /x, then press Enter. ‘Cmd.exe’ is the command processor, which opens a command-prompt window in Windows.

The ‘/c’ switch tells command prompt to run the commands that follow, including the chkdsk utility. It will examine your drive for errors. (You can change ‘/c’ to /k if you want the command-prompt window to remain open so that you can see any screen messages that may appear.) Here, we will check the C: drive with the fix (/f) function and then tell to lock the disk (/x) if necessary while the scan takes place. (The drive letter and switches may differ; type chkdsk /? at a command prompt to see all your choices.) If you’re checking Windows drive, the command will not work if Windows is running but will plan a check for the next time when you restart the system. This is where the ‘echo y|’ portion comes in: it sends a “yes” answer to approve this option.

Quick Fixes for Windows-Part 1

I am beginning a series starting today on Quick Fixes for Windows XP and Vista. Today we will start off with Part 1.

After years of purification and millions using it, Windows still remains as enigmatic, buggy and a failure prone. Each new edition Of Windows adds little more catchy features, but at the same time have loads of drawbacks. Vista’s new features seem to be more misfortune than worth and the prior XP doesn’t seem to have good time as age passes.
