Directx diagnostic (dxdiag)

DirectX runs in the background and greatly speeds up your computer's handling of audio and visual content. You'll rarely (if ever) have to think about it unless you need to know your system specs. That's where the DirectX Diagnostic Tool comes in handy.

The DirectX Diagnostic Tool takes a snapshot of your machine and shows you what it sees. All this happens entirely within your computer and no information is reported to anyone but you.

To use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to determine the version of DirectX that is installed on your computer, follow these steps:

1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.Type dxdiag, and then click OK.
3.On the System tab, note the version of DirectX displayed on the DirectX Version line.
4.On the DirectX Files tab, check the version information for each DirectX file.
5.When you are finished checking file versions, click Exit.

Figure 1. Click Start and choose the Run Command on the Start Menu.

Figure 2.Type "dxdiag" (without the quote marks) and click ok.

Increase your hard disk speed

Posted by tech master
To speed up your hard disk speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the disk.

This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.

Follow these steps:

Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
Expand the system.ini file window.
Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type Irq14=4096

Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!

Click on the File menu, then choose Save.

Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.

Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.
Update: The most speed improvement is visible with IDE drives, however there are reports that this tweak also does good for SCSI disks. In any case, it won't harm your system, so why not try it yourself and let me know what you find.

Dual core processor...

                                        Dual core computer processors: luxury or necessity?
Most of the talk going on in the computer processor industry is revolving around dual core processors. But what advantages do they actually give and is it worth it in terms of price?

All processors have a core. A processor contains some memory, often referred to as cache, either L1, L2 or L3, depending on how close it is to the core, and the core itself, as well as a few other essentials. The core is the "brain" part, it performs all the big calculations that are needed for the various things a computer does.

Computer cores have been increasing in speed, and increasingly quickly. Manufacturers were in a race to have the chip with the fastest speed, measured in GHz. One surprise is that despite these increases in clock speed, the actual speed of programs didn't increase proportionately.

As modern programs make much heavier use of other computer parts like memory, and there are often many running at the same time, another approach was needed.

Dual core processors were the answer.

By putting two "brain" parts into the processor, you can run two programs on two cores, without having to share it between them. The effect of this is that when running two or more programs, the processor can now handle much more as a whole.

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME "...Working with Blue Screen..

I turned my computer on and after a while a blue screen appeared. I can’t pass through and I thought of reformatting my pc when I read about this problem in MSGOODIES.

You'll probably notice on the screen error like this :

UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DEVICE STOP: 0x000000ED (0xaddress,0xC0000006,0x00000000,0x000000)

Here’s how I got the answer:

Start the recovery console. If you do not have it installed - or when that version does not work - like in this case, boot from an installation CD and select R for repair.

Run these command

chkdsk c: /r /p
fixmbr
exit (to reboot)

that’s it!!
Hope this helps on you too.

Repairing Blue Screen

After you’ve had a blue screen either or your pc won’t start, you’ll probably worry and want your important files to be recovered.

HARD DISK DATA RECOVERY

1. Remove hard drive from the non-working pc.
2. Install it on another working pc. This will perform an automatic scan. If it doesn’t, set up a manual scan. This checks what causes the error, this file can be deleted manually.

Go to my computer, instead of open, choose “explore”. This will show the lists of your drives. Choose the hard drive you removed from the non working pc. Open it to access all your files. Go to the Windows directory to manually delete file that shows up in the blue screen.

You may need to copy your files to ensure data has a back up in case you may need to reformat your pc.

Setting up a Manual Scan/Checkdisk

To perform a manual checkdisk or scan, go to your drive and click properties. A window will appear. Click on the TOOLS tab, and then go to error checking, click check now. On the check disk options, click the two checkboxes then start. It will prompt the user to restart the computer and perform a disk check upon its start up. After the drive has been checked and error shown in the blue screen is removed. You may reinstall it again on the non working computer.

NOTE: If the scan did not find error/s, you will have to reinstall windows or a new operating system on the non-working personal computer(pc).

Mzu_drv.sys Undesirable Program!

This file has been identified as a program that is undesirable to have running on your computer. This consists of programs that are misleading, harmful, or undesirable. The description is Trojan. MZU_DRV-Rootkit Process.

Trojans are programs that can appear to serve a legitimate purpose but actually have an unwanted or harmful effect.

A large segment of Trojan programs download other harmful software components to a user's PC without his/her knowledge.


The blue screen is caused by downloaded and installed applications that is considered to be adware or spyware. If a blue screen appears, message prompts to the “blue screen” caused by mzu_drv.sys or other related rootkit processes.

Performing a new installation of Windows XP

If your computer does not have an operating system currently installed or you have decided to install Windows from scratch, you can perform what is known as a new installation (also known as a clean installation, or a full installation). This process is more complicated and takes longer than an upgrade (about 20 steps as opposed to 9 for an upgrade).

Note: Before installing Windows XP, you should disable you virus protection (antivirus) software, and you might want to run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to test your computer's random access memory (RAM). To use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, follow the instructions on the Windows Memory Diagnostic Web site. Be sure to enable your virus protection software after installing Windows XP.

CAUTION: You can choose to delete everything that currently exists on the hard drive during a new installation, so be sure to back up any data you want to keep before you begin (make sure that the backup data is not stored on the drive you are going to delete).


Here's how to perform a new installation of Windows XP:

How do I set the default operating system (when multiple systems are installed)?

If you have more than one operating system installed, you can select the operating system that you want to use as the default:

1.In Windows XP, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2.On the Advanced tab, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.

3.Under System startup, in the Default operating system list, click the operating system that you want to start when you turn on or restart your computer.

4.Select the Time to display list of operating systems check box, and then select the number of seconds for which you want the list displayed before the default operating system starts.


Warning: The boot options file (Boot.ini) controls the number and order of operating systems on your computer. To manually edit this file, clickEdit on the Startup and Recovery tab. Use caution when modifying the boot options file. Doing so incorrectly might make your computer unusable.

How to disable AutoRun for USB flash drives

If you're concerned about security, you may want to disable AutoRun for USB flash drives. Using USB flash drives from unknown sources could contain malware that automatically installs itself when connected to your computer! Prevent this security risk and disable AutoRun for USB flash drives now...


Step 1:
First, start by backing up your system, registry, and other important files. This can be easily accomplished by creating a new "Restore Point" using the "System Restore" tool. It's always important to make backups *before* making any changes to your computer system.

Step 2:
After you complete the first step, open Notepad or your favorite text editor.

Step 3:
Copy and paste exactly the following into your text editor:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"

ISO FILE

An ISO file, often called an ISO image, is in fact an "image" of an entire CD or DVD. The entire contents of a disc can be perfectly represented in a single ISO file.

You can think of an ISO file like a box that holds all the parts to something that needs built - like a child's toy you might buy that requires assembly. The box that the toy pieces come in does you no good as an actual toy but the contents inside of it, once taken out and put together, become what you're actually wanting to use.

An ISO file is the same way. The file itself is no good unless it can be opened, assembled, and used. The most common way to make use of an ISO file is to burn the ISO file to a CD or DVD. It's a different process than burning an MP3 file or a document to a disc because your CD/DVD burning software must "assemble" the contents of the ISO file onto the disc.

Partition and format a hard drive in windows XP

If there are no partitions on your hard drive, you will need to create a partition and format it. Alternatively, it's a good idea to repartition your hard drive if you want to merge several smaller partitions into one large one, or if you want to create several smaller partitions so that you can set up a multiboot configuration.

If you want to partition or format your hard drive, we recommend that you use the disk partitioning and formatting tools that are built into Windows XP Setup. These tools allow you to delete existing partitions and to create one or more new partitions.


IMPORTANT: If you follow these steps on a hard disk that is not empty, all of the data stored on that hard disk will be permanently deleted.
To use the disk partitioning and formatting tools in Windows XP Setup:

How to Install Ubuntu Linux on Your PC

Ubuntu is the most user friendly Linux distribution. It is easy to install, easy to learn and use. Like other Linux distributions, it is free for all. Here are the steps to install Ubuntu on a PC.


1. Search and download the latest Ubuntu i386. After the download is completed, burn its ISO image on a blank CD at 8x speed. Decide if you want to keep the Ubuntu alone or both the operating systems on your PC. Take a backup of your files on the USB or other storage device. Now insert the Ubuntu CD you have recently burnt. Does the Ubuntu Screen flash on your PC? Now click where it says, "Boot from this CD to try Ubuntu without affecting your system". You will see all the information about Ubuntu Linux flash on the screen; follow the instructions on the successive pages. The last one will be the welcome screen and your PC will ask if it should reboot. Reboot your PC it will give you following options:

•Start or install Ubuntu
•Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode
•Install with driver update CD
•Check CD for defects
•Memory test

Task Manager

You can use the task manager in Windows to start and end programs, view the processes that are running, and check on the performance of your computer. Without the use of your task manager, you are in the dark about what is going on with your computer. So task manager errors should be remedied immediately.


Task Manager Has Been Disabled By Your Administrator


One common task manager error that you might see says that the utility has been disabled by the administrator. If you are the administrator, and you know that you did not disable the task manager, then there definitely is a problem that needs to be resolved.

Oftentimes, when you see this error message it is because a virus or spyware program is operating on your system. It disables your task manager so that you cannot view or end the process. To correct this problem, go to your "Start" menu and then select "Run." Enter "Regedit.exe" (without the quotes). This will bring up a list of your registry editor. Click the plus sign for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER," then "Software" and, after that, follow the following path "Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies\ System." You'll see "DisableTaskMgr" in the right pane. Delete it to re-enable your task manager.
