It is nice to dismiss un useful objects on your desktop. One of them is the language bar. A language bar is thing used in handwriting or sound recognition which located right below corner of your computer screen on desktop. Actually, I never use it in all my life, so I prefer it to disappear permanently.

You can delete it temporary by right clicking anywhere on toolbar, and uncheck the language bar. To eliminate it permanently, You should follow these steps :

1. Click Start then control panel

2. Select regional and language

3. Select language tab, details and click language bar on preferences (below)

AVG Free Edition : The best antivirus for personal use

What is an antivirus program that you use at your pc? Is that one make you pay every time you update it? I recommend you AVG Free Edition antivirus program which can be updated for free. This antivirus has been downloaded for over 35 million users all around the world, and it’s still recommended now. AVG Free Edition has published by Grisoft, a German company lets individuals use the product for free but pay to companies.

You can’t say your computer is free from a virus if your antivirus program can’t be updated. Besides, Norton and McAfee takes big memory for running their programs nor does AVG.You can download the AVG free edition v7.5 at grisoft.com, install and don’t forget to update it before you scan your data.

Your computer is overheating. So check the fan at the back, is it work well or not. If it is broken you should buy a new one. Or if the fan is work, you may clean your computer or you should move the position from under your table for more air circulation.

Info: Change your Windows XP boot screen

Published by nald under Uncategorized

“I saw that since i was born”

Everyday on my life, every time I turn on my computer, I always see a black screen with windows xp logo on it. That black screen calls bootscreen. I have seen it for ages and last year, I got bored. I can easily change my background and screensever, but can I change my bootscreen, in an easy way?
Yes you can. Below you can see some edit boot screen pictures.



Here explanation how to change a boot screen step by step

1. You will need a small programme called bootskin. Go to http://www.stardock.com/ and download latest version of bootskin ( bootskin 1.03). It’s a small programme, less than 1mb, so it’ll need no time to download it.


2. Double click on the downloaded program, run the installation.


3. Tick on launch skinboot, and a new window will be appeared.


4. Just simply choose which skin you like and click apply, then restart your computer. The boot screen will change automatically.

5. Note the skin choice is not much, so you must download it yourself. You can try http://www.wincustomize.com/Skins.aspx?LibID=32 or you can use a search engine. Type download bootskin or anything you see fit. Pay attention on file extension, it should be .bootskin file otherwise it won’t show on the window :)

Tips: Practice how maintain your computer from virus and spyware/malware

Published by nald under Uncategorized

My advice to let your pc stay out from trouble:

1. Install only licensed softwares. Pirated software couldn’t updated so your computer will leave in pre-hystorical era. It won’t recognise some millennium era viruses and spywares. A licensed free software is better than an unlicensed one, so try to look or download a free software not a trial or cracked one.

2. Don’t download programs or anything for website you don’t trust. Consider not to trust a website when:

- The site is referred to you through an e-mail from someone you don’t know (called spam)

- The site has an illegal or a pornographic content and materials.

3. Beware unknown email. Pay attention to unknown email sender, freak text or anything suspicious. Don’t open files attached to this email.

4. Use online support resources on internet. Search for FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) or type your keyword on search engine.

Hope it will help :)
