Enhanced Aero Snap for windows 7even, Vista, Xp

Aero Snap

is one of the best features in Windows 7 because it makes managing Windows much easier. Now users of Windows Vista and XP can join in the fun with the help of AquaSnap by Nurgo Software. The free utility expands on the features offered by Microsoft’s Aero Snap by allowing users to not only snap windows on both sides of the screen, but also in corners and add multi-monitor support.

 
AquaGlass is another useful feature that makes a window transparent when it is moved. 


Fix Aero Glass in Windows 7

If you want the full

Windows 7

experience the Aero glass interface is a must.  Without the slick glass interface a number of key features will be disabled such as taskbar thumbnails and Aero Peek. According to Microsoft the bare minimum requirements for Aero is a graphics card that supports DirectX 9.0 or newer and a native WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) driver. In most cases when you install Windows 7 Aero will be enabled but on some configurations various issues prevent the feature from starting.

The most common issue I have seen is a lack of compatible WDDM drivers.  When Windows 7 was installed compatible drivers were not found on the installation media.  In this scenario Windows will search on Windows Update for compatible drivers once an internet connection is established. To make Windows search for new drivers manually just click on the Start Button and type in Windows Update. Then, click Check for updates.

If no WDDM compatible drivers are found for your video adapter on Windows update try looking on the manufacturers Web site.

After you have, or your system has automatically updated your video adpater drivers to compatible WDDM drivers it is best to refresh the Windows Experience Index. This will run the Windows Experience performance tool to benchmark your computer and identify what features should be turned on and off. Click on the Start Button and type in check the windows experience index and hit Enter.  Next, click Refresh Now.

If you still have problems try running the Aero Troubleshooting utility by clicking on the Start Button and typing in Find an fix problems with transparency and then hit Enter.

Create a Restart Icon on Your Desktop

Hii....nice to see you here.....reading my Article........ Well i know its after a too long time am posting something on H4King Portal !! This time but its not much unique ..but just a normal article.......its a helpful and efficient trick. Its on how to add a Restart icon on your desktop... Hey if you know this you can surf the other articles Here...



Restart, its a function which makes our computer start again...... which might be 4 clearing any errors or to bring your system to normal position from some bad situation or after finishing downloads..... as few of the application softwares or drivers asks for restarting the computer 4 taking changes and also there are many other reasons for us to restart our system.

Hence the function Restart is an important aspect which brings the system back 2 normal condition. For high configured system, this is not such an important function, but for low configuration systems, it is an important function which helps the system to return back to its normal condition mainly from some errors.

So it would be really helpful for us to have a Restart Icon on our Desktop to restart our computer with just a single Click.

Note : I have tried this trick on Windows XP Only.

Steps 4 creating Restart Icon on Desktop :


1. To create the Shortcut icon, first right-click at any empty area on your desktop then point 2 New then to Shortcut as seen in the picture.


2. That opens a small Windows dialog box..... which will appear with name "Create Shortcut". In "Create Shortcut" window, type "shutdown -r -t 30".......as seen in the image below.


In the above command "t 30" means "Time in seconds". This command restarts our computer automatically after 30 seconds that is half a minute......hmmm..... ;P

3. Then click Next and then type the name of Shortcut "Restart" (or whatever you want) and click Finish......as in the image..


WoW..... the Restart icon have been created.........now its time to check it......hmmmmm.... what are you waiting 4...just click the icon you just made and see how your pc restarts...
When you click on it, then u will see a Windows dialog box will appear as "This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost. This shut down was initiated by administrator".

Advantages of making this shortcut : 

* Saves Time.
* Saves Power.
* Efficient in process.

Note : I have tried this trick on Windows XP Only.

Okk... hope you try it and let me know by a Comment below.......

Rule Your Computer System By All Means

Hii am back with a different article, this is really interesting, hope some of you may know about this..... If you think Administrator has the largest privileges onto the computer, then u are wrong. There is a user who is named SYSTEM. SYSTEM has full control of the operating system and it’s kernel. If you open windows Task Manager (press ctrl+alt+delete) you will see that System User controls several processes. These processes cannot be closed by Administrator. In this article we will see how to trick Windows into running our desktop as System. So u’ll get much greater privileges over ur computer.

Follow the Steps and Rule your System:

1. Go to Start, then Run. In Run option type cmd and click OK (Command Prompt). After this will open Command Prompt, or Start->All Programs ->Accessories->Command Prompt


2. In Command Prompt type at 13:55 /interactive “cmd.exe” and press enter, careful about the time you type...like the time is usually a minute or two ahead of your present time in the 24 hours format. 

cmd

After a minute or two.. will appear new Command Prompt Window wit different title bar. It has changed from cmd.exe to svchost.exe.

svchost.exe

3. End current explorer.exe process. Open Task Manager, select explorer.exe and click End Process. 

End Process

4. In new Command Prompt with title svchost.exe type cd.. and press enter, then type explorer.exe and press enter. 


After this you will become SYSTEM user, If any problems, feel free 2 Comment below.....

5 Reasons Why PCs Crash

Have you suffered from PC Crash ? If you don't know what it is, then read this article properly and know the 5 Reasons why PCs Crash........



Have you seen this anywhere ?




Thats the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who uses Windows will be familiar with this. If you too have been struck by this, then below are the 5 reasons to avoid you PC being crashed.

1. Hardware Conflict



The number one reason why Windows crashes is hardware conflict. Each hardware device communicates to other devices through an Interrupt Request Channel (IRQ). These are supposed to be unique for each device.

4 eg, a printer usually connects internally on IRQ 7. The keyboard usually uses IRQ 1 and the floppy disk drive IRQ 6. Each device will try to hog a single IRQ for itself.

If there are a lot of devices, or if they are not installed properly, two of them may end up sharing the same IRQ number. When the user tries to use both devices at the same time, here a crash can happen. The way to check if your computer has a hardware conflict is through the following route:

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager

Often if a device has a problem a yellow '!' appears next to its description in the Device Manager. Highlight Computer (in the Device Manager) and press Properties to see the IRQ numbers used by your computer. If the IRQ number appears twice, two devices may be using it.

Sometimes a device might share an IRQ with something described as 'IRQ holder for PCI steering'. This can be ignored. The best way to fix this problem is to remove the problem device and reinstall it.

Sometimes you may have to find more recent drivers on the internet to make the device function properly. A good resource is DriverGuide. If the device is a soundcard, or a modem, it can often be fixed by moving it to a different slot on the motherboard (be careful about opening your computer, as you may void the warranty, leave it to the experts).

The problem with IRQ numbers is not of its making. It is a legacy problem going back to the first PC designs using the IBM 8086 chip. Initially there were only eight IRQs. Today there are 16 IRQs in a PC. It is easy to run out of them. There are plans to increase the number of IRQs in future designs.

2. Bad RAM

RAM (Random-Access Memory) problems might bring on the blue screen of death with a message saying "Fatal Exception Error". A fatal error indicates a serious hardware problem. Sometimes it may mean a part is damaged and will need replacing.



But a fatal error caused by Ram might be caused by a mismatch of chips. For example, mixing 70-nanosecond (70ns) Ram with 60ns Ram will usually force the computer to run all the Ram at the slower speed. This will often crash the machine if the Ram is overworked.

One way around this problem is to enter the BIOS settings and increase the wait state of the Ram. This can make it more stable. Another way to troubleshoot a suspected Ram problem is to rearrange the Ram chips on the motherboard, or take some of them out. Then try to repeat the circumstances that caused the crash. When handling Ram try not to touch the gold connections, as they can be easily damaged.

Parity error messages also refer to Ram. Modern Ram chips are either parity (ECC) or non parity (non-ECC). It is best not to mix the two types, as this can be a cause of trouble.

EMM386 error messages refer to memory problems but may not be connected to bad Ram. This may be due to free memory problems often linked to old Dos-based programmes.

3. BIOS settings

Every motherboard is supplied with a range of chipset settings that are decided in the factory. A common way to access these settings is to press/hold the F2/delete button during the first few seconds while boot-up.



Once inside the BIOS, great care should be taken. It is a good idea to write down on a piece of paper all the settings that appear on the screen. That way, if you change something and the computer becomes more unstable, you will know what settings to come back to previous working level.

A common BIOS error concerns the CAS latency. This refers to the Ram. Older EDO (extended data out) Ram has a CAS latency of 3. Newer SDRam has a CAS latency of 2. Setting the wrong figure can cause the Ram to lock up and freeze the computer's display.

Windows is better at allocating IRQ numbers than any BIOS. If possible set the IRQ numbers to Auto in the BIOS. This will allow Windows to allocate the IRQ numbers (make sure the BIOS setting for Plug and Play OS is switched to 'yes' to allow Windows to do this).

4. Hard Disk Drives



After a few weeks, the information on a hard disk drive starts to become piecemeal or fragmented. It is a good idea to defragment the hard disk every week or so, to prevent the disk from causing a screen freeze.

Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Disk Defragmenter

This will start the procedure. You will be unable to write data to the hard drive (to save it) while the disk is defragmenting, so it is a good idea to schedule the procedure for a period of inactivity using the Task Scheduler.

Some lockups and screen freezes caused by hard disk problems can be solved by reducing the read-ahead optimisation. This can be adjusted by going to

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System Icon --> Performance --> File System --> Hard Disk

Hard disks will slow down and crash if they are too full. Do some cleaning on your hard drive every few months and free some space on it. Open the Windows folder on the C drive and find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Deleting the contents in it (not the folder) can free a lot of space.

Empty the Recycle Bin every week to free more space. Hard disk drives should be scanned every week for errors or bad sectors.

Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> ScanDisk

Otherwise assign the Task Scheduler to perform this operation at night when the computer is not in use.

5. Fatal OE exceptions and VXD errors



Fatal OE exception errors and VXD errors are often caused by video card problems. These can often be resolved easily by reducing the resolution of the video display.

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Display --> Settings

Here you should slide the screen area bar to the left. Take a look at the color settings on the left of that window. For most desktops, high color 16-bit depth is adequate.

If the screen freezes or you experience system lockups it might be due to the video card. Make sure it does not have a hardware conflict.

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager

Here, select the + beside Display Adapter. A line of text describing your video card should appear. Select it (make it blue) and press properties. Then select Resources and select each line in the window. Look for a message that says No Conflicts.

If you have video card hardware conflict, you will see it here. Be careful at this point and make a note of everything you do in case you make things worse.

The way to resolve a hardware conflict is to uncheck the Use Automatic Settings box and hit the Change Settings button. You are searching for a setting that will display a No Conflicts message.

Another useful way to resolve video problems is to go to

Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> System --> Performance --> Graphics

Here you should move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the left. As ever, the most common cause of problems relating to graphics cards is old or faulty drivers (a driver is a small piece of software used by a computer to communicate with a device). Look up your video card's manufacturer on the internet and search for the most recent drivers for it.


It doesn't end here. I have more on it. Sorry now no time to write. It will be up in two days. If you have any doubts regarding this, pls comment here...

Speed Up Windows - Registry Hack

I had already posted two articles on Windows Vista recently — after all, it is the latest operating system from Microsoft. While it’s the “latest and greatest” as they say, I know many of you still use and prefer Windows XP first.



Today i thought about spending some time going over a few Windows XP tips. However its been too long that i posted the last article. Well i was so busy that i didn't had time to blog. Leave it, lets come to the topic. Some of the tips you may be well familiar with as i had even posted them before, while some will be completely new to you.

Most of all these tricks use the Windows Registry Editor. Please now don't ask that what is windows registry editor. If you are my regular reader you may know what it is. For new readers, Welcome, Goto Start --> Run --> Type regedit there and Enter. Thats it, you will see the Registry editor Window.

Note: Please follow the steps as i say, or else i cant help you.


Here are Some Unknown Tips n Tricks:

1. Renaming the Recycle Bin: If you are bored of the old name 'Recycle Bin', change it to something you want.

* Open Registry Editor and goto to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ CLSID\ {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
* Double-click on (Default), and change the name of the Recycle Bin. Now close the Registry Editor, and press F5 on the desktop to refresh the icon.


2. Network Sharing: When you are looking at files on a network drive you might have noticed that it can take a rather long time (up to 30-40 seconds). What actually happens is XP checks to see if the other PC has any scheduled tasks. You can disable that by as follows.

* Open the Registry Editor and goto to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ RemoteComputer\ NameSpace.
* Delete the {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} key. Close the Registry.
* While you are there you can also delete the {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} key if you don’t use printer sharing(It helps Speed up your OS).
* Restart your computer.


3. Excessive Printing: This probably is not for home users, but for all the people out there that do a lot or printing this is something you should consider doing. By tweaking this Registry setting the printing process will have a higher priority.

* Open the Registry Editor and goto to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Print.
* Create a new DWORD called SpoolerPriority, and give it a value of 1.
* Restart your computer.


4. Disable Last Access Time Stamp: This small little tweak is a great one, because it disables a feature that most people never even use. By default Windows always keeps track of the “Last Accessed” date in the file or folder’s properties. If you are constantly opening and closing files you are causing some additional work for Windows since it has to update the last accessed date each time. If you never use that property feel free to disable it.

* Open the Registry Editor and goto 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem.
* Create a new DWORD called NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate, and give it a value of 1.
* Restart your computer.


5. Remove Text from Icons: This is the most funky trick i got. With it you can prevent the text from appearing below icons on the desktop. If you’re looking to clean up your desktop a bit this could be the perfect solution.

* Right-click on an icon, and choose the Rename option. Delete all of the text.
* Hold down the Alt key and type 0160 (you shouldn’t see any text being typed). That will essentially make a space character the file name. Press Enter to save the results.
* You can repeat this for all icons in the same folder or Desktop, as its not possible to create two similar file names. To bypass that for a second shortcut you can do Alt+0160 + Alt+0160. That will essentially create two spaces for the file name, and for a third shortcut you could do Alt+0160 + Alt+0160 + Alt+0160. Well i know its little Teddy, but here the topic is on how to Speedup Windows XP.

Some of this tricks also works with Windows Vista. But i can't guarantee about it, as i don't have an Vista OS, so not tested yet. If you think you can handle any errors caused, feel free to try.
