			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Windows 7 is the new upcoming version of the Microsoft Windows operating systems. People are looking forward to having this version of Windows because Windows Vista didn’t live up to its name, it was buggy and had some problems. Most reliable Microsoft Windows to this day is Windows XP. Windows 7 was codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna when it was in preparation.</p>
<p>Unlike Windows Vista that has a great layout and visual quality, Windows 7 will be more compatible, it will support all previous software that worked on past versions of Windows and it will be an a lot faster and better operating system.</p>
<p>Windows 7 will bring some major updates to some Windows features. For example advances in handwriting recognition, better performance with multi-core processors, kernel upgrades, support for virtual hard drives, better boot performance, etc. Many new features will be added to the control panel, so you will be able to customize your operating system even more then you could before. The taskbar will be changed to, the quick launch icon has been removed and replaced with pinning programs and applications to the taskbar. The new task bar is easier and more practical, but maybe you will need some time to get used to it. The new layout has some practical features and it can make some of your Windows transparent just by dragging your mouse over the icon, which can be really helpful in some situations.</p>
<p>Microsoft has published information on minimum system requirements needed to use Windows 7. Microsoft has released an application that works as an advisor, it scans your computer to see if it is compatible for Windows 7.</p>
<p>For 32 bit system minimum system requirements for Windows 7 are following: 1 GB of RAM, Processor should be minimum 1 GHz, graphic card should support direct x 9 and it should have at least 128 MB of graphics memory, it requires 16 GB of hard disk space. For 64 bit things are different: At least 2 GB of RAM, processor 1 GHz, Graphic card that supports direct x 9 with 128 MB of graphics memory and at least 20 GB of free hard disk space is required for installation.</p>
<p>Some features that Windows Vista had are removed in order to maximize the performance. Your computer should work really fine when using Windows 7 because the main goal when making Windows 7 was to fix the previous problems and make it stable and reliable. Layout for Windows 7 looks great and it looks like they have really paid attention to making it functional and user friendly rather than putting make up on something that doesn’t work but looks nice. This is the idea most people had that used Vista.</p>
<p>Your<strong> </strong>computer will certainly work great when using Windows 7 if it has the minimum system requirements, but it is always better to have computer that does not only mach minimum operating requirements but is even better configured. Windows 7 will run smoothly even on computers that are outdated, it is only needed to have requirements earlier mentioned in the text. It looks like Microsoft is finally making something as good as Windows XP, maybe even better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have all dreaded the blue screen of death by windows, we all know what it looks like but I want show you one last time.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-129" title="Blue Screen" src="http://www.thegreenbug.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Untitled-1.jpg" alt="Blue Screen" width="544" height="377" /></p>
<p>This screen most of us have encountered in our life before and if you haven&#8217;t you will. It&#8217;s the same as getting a flat tire on a car, if you use a car eventually one day you will get a flat tire whether you like it or not.</p>
<p>So what happens when you get a blue screen of death?</p>
<p>What does it mean?</p>
<p>Well a blue screen of death can be caused by a few problems, it could be hardware related or software related. I am going to share with you a couple of ways to Repair your computer so you don&#8217;t have to see this nasty screen.</p>
<p>A blue screen of death can be caused by new hardware that has just been put in your computer, if you have recently added hardware remove it straight away and use your computer again to see if it blue screens.</p>
<p>It could be caused by errors in windows and to repair this you will need to do a repair on windows with the Windows XP cd.</p>
<p>Viruses can also cause blue screens of death and spyware. Make sure you update your anti virus so you have the most up to date defnitions and also run a full system scan with your aniti virus to make sure you are clean.</p>
<p>Your RAM could be faulty causing the machine to blue screen on use. If you have been inside the guts of a computer before you can open it up and check to see if you have two slots of RAM if you do remove one and try the computer, if it works you know one of the RAM sticks are faulty.</p>
<p>It could be as simple as being corrupt files or bad sectors/clusters on your hard drive! If you click start down the bottom left of your computer and then click on run. In the white box type &#8220;cmd&#8221; and press enter. A black box should appear, in here type &#8220;chkdsk /f /r&#8221; and the press enter and type &#8220;Y&#8221; to agree with the scheduled scan. Reboot your machine let windows repair any bad sectors on your hdd or corrupt files.</p>
<p>These are the usual tests you should go through for Computer Repairs to make prevent a blue screen from happening again.</p>
