Is your computer a little on the slow side when loading up programs? Well the reason for this is because hard disks are really slow compared to every other part in the computer. Whenever you load a program, it is always going to do accesses off the hard disk and this is what slows everything down. Well what if it was possible to tell Windows 95 and 98 (note: Windows NT already has this feature built in) to buffer a lot more data in RAM then it currently does? Well it is. Windows 95 and 98 have this feature in…
Dual Booting Windows NT and Linux is not very hard at all. All that it requires is a special utility called BOOT.EXE and a little know-how about the Windows NT boot manager. It is extraordinarily easy to setup Linux to boot with Windows NT and use the Linux boot manager instead of the Windows NT boot manager. However, most people only want to have to go through one boot manager when they start up their computer. Before you proceed you will need the following BOOT.EXE, a Red Hat Linux CD (I’m sure the procedure isn’t much different for other Linux flavors…

Before you proceed you should note that disabling call waiting will result in a caller receiving a busy signal when they call your house if you are on the Internet. This How To assumes that your telephone provider uses the code *70 to disable call waiting but this may not be the…
Performing defragmentation in EDB files makes the used storage closest, minimizes unused storage and compacts the database that ultimately reduces the size of the database. Eseutil copies database records to a new database.

You can use Eseutil to defrag the EDB database, by following the steps given below: Step 1. In Exchange System Manager, right-click the Information store that you wish to defragment and then click the Dismount Store option Step 2.In the command prompt, change…

Lesson 1 – Single Stepping – Open the VBA editor (Alt-F11, or right-click a sheet tab and choose View Code) – Place the cursor anywhere within the code. – Hit F8 to begin Single Stepping through the code. The next line to be executed will be highlighted, and execution will take place the next time you hit F8. You can make changes to the code while in Single Step mode. Some changes will alert you that the Debugger will stop if you make that…
Well, you’ve finally decided to buy a graphics card. Excellent decision. A graphics card takes some of the load off of the CPU by rendering the graphics on its own. If you are a gamer or a media-heavy user, this will speed things up for you, and make the whole computing experience more pleasant. But enough on that, you have questions, such as: What brand should I buy/ What kind should I get? How much is too much to spend? What do I look for in an ATi/AMD graphics card? What do I look for in an Nvidia graphics card?…

Avast Free 4.8 was supposed to cease updates either a) at the end of 2009, then 2010, or b) when Avast 6 was released, according to this thread on their forum: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=69329.0 Nevertheless, I installed it on one of my test Windows 98 systems today, and it proceeded to download and install the latest definitions (44MB), updating the original SETUPENG.EXE from November 2009 to today. This is critical for any 95/NT 4.0/98/98SE/ME users as this is the final version that will run on these versions. It’s also better than the older versions of Avast! because it contains resident shield. The free…
