Speedup system by Free up or clean RAM using Notepad

RAM – Random Access Memory is one of the main component of computer that is responsible for the process of the operating system. Since all the Operating systems support Multiprocessing, hence require a good RAM speed.
Since all the current running processes are stored onto the RAM, it slows the system speed. Sometimes the process which have executed but are not required by the OS are stored on the RAM. So, we can remove or freeup the RAM with unused junk data to Speedup the System or processing speed.
We can clean the RAM just by using a Notepad application. This donot require any advanced software. The process to do so is as follows.


Open Notepad


Type

FreeMem=Space(64000000)

save it as “CleanRAM.vbs” on desktop
Note: Type the name of file along with inverted commas
Run the file and your RAM may be free.

Of course you can edit the code in the file for a greater “cleaning-progress”.

For example:

FreeMem=Space(1280000000)
FreeMem=Space(2560000000)
FreeMem=Space(5120000000)
FreeMem=Space(10240000000)

Windows tweak to speed up your hard disk speed

speed up your hard disk speed means, its read and write speed.
For this 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:

1. Open Run Command –> Start –>RUN
2. Type SYSEDIT.EXE

This will open system editor window
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.
Extra Points: 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 don’t worry to try it and post any comments here

Increase your RAM and so 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 delete Un deletable files, 4 Ways To Get Rid Of Un-deletable Files

There are times when certain files in your computer become undeletable because of some virus or any other reason. This means that the file cannot be deleted by simply clicking the delete button. Files usually become undeletable because of an active process that has an open handle to the file which prevents it from being deleted. Under most circumstances if you close down all running programs you’ll find that most files will then be free to delete, but that’s not always the case, and in some cases it may even be a trojan or other form of malware that’s preventing itself from being deleted. Now some undeletable files may not harm your computer but usually these type of undeletable files cause problem in proper functioning of an operating system. In this post am going to give some computer help and will share with you different ways of getting rid of such stubborn files :

Method 1

1. Open command Prompt window and leave it open.
2. Close all running (active) programs.
3. Click Start > Run.
4. Key in “TASKMGR.EXE” (without quotes) in the Run window.
5. Go to the Processes tab.
6. End process Explorer.exe.
7. Leave the Task Manager open.
8. Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory in which the undeletable file is located in.
9. In the command prompt type “DEL ” (without quotes) where ‘filename’ is the file you wish to delete.
10. Now go back to Task Manager.
11. Click on File > New Task.
12. Enter “EXPLORER.EXE” (without quotes) to restart the GUI shell.
13. Close Task Manager.

And thats it ! You have deleted the file safely. Visit the directory in which the undeletable file was located to verify that the file has been deleted.

Method 2

1. Open Notepad.
2. Click on File > Save As.
3. Locate the folder where the undeletable file is located.
4. Choose “All files” from the file type box.
5. Click once on the file which you wish to delete so its name appears in the “filename” box.
6. Put a ” at the start and end of the filename (it will overwrite it).
7. Click on save.
8. It will ask you to overwrite the existing file, then choose yes.

Now after doing so just locate the file and delete it as you delete any other file. The file will most probably be deleted.

Method 3

1. Click on Start > Run.
2. Type “command” in Run dialog box.
3. Go to the directory in which the undeletable file is located. [type: cd c:xyz (xyz stand for your folder)]
4. Once you are in the folder in which the non-deletable file is. Type in “dir” (without quotes) a list will come up with every file inside.
5. Now delete the file by entering the file name.

If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces. For example, Program Files, in this case you will have to type only the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1 without spaces. Example: cd c:progra~1
An example of how to delete the file using command prompt: If your file name was temp jerry.bmp you would type once in the specific folder thorugh command, del tempje~1.bmp and your file should be gone (Make sure to type in the correct extension).
NOTE: This method may not work for all types of files especially virus files. I therefore suggest you to first use Method 1 and Method 2 first.

Method 4

If the above mentioned 3 methods fail, then just download this free utility. It will surely help you in deleting undeletable files. Moreover it’s also very useful when you have to delete virus file. This utility marks file for deletion and during next reboot. This method is based on documentation from Microsoft that describes a function called MoveFileEx.
You can download the freeware directly from their site DelLater.

PC TV Programs

Sopcast

Pplive

Just download and run the installation script on pplive. Its all in English, no need to worry. You need the pplive channel list for it, it does not come with a loaded list.
Ppstream

Download from the above location. This one has an installation script that is unfortunatly producing lots of gibberish. The buttons are designed like in every other windows installation script. (left button, choose a directory, 3x middle button). The Channel list is on the left, you see the channel name, the quality of the stream in Kb per second and the users connected to the channel.
If I had to choose one of them I?d defiantly choose ppStream which has the best interface and good user rates and a nice overall stream quality.
