Answer
·  The Computer does not power up.

- First Check if the powersupply to the computer is functional.
- Check and see if the power cable is connected from the mains to your computer.
- Check for damage o­n your power cable.
- Check if the monitor light powers from Amber to Green.
- Check for any audio response from the Harddisk
If  none of the above, contact our Service Personnel at 56711445

·  My mouse is acting up. The cursor doesn't move smoothly on screen. What do I do ?

The Rollers inside the mouse may be dirty, open the roller-ball casing and clean the contacts to remove any dirt which may be there.

·  Hi , my computer immediately shut down immediately without notice when i was trying to run games or heavy application on my computer.

The problem described could be caused due to any of the following reasons :
1. Processor may be overheating during heavy usage( this could cause some motherboards to shutdown automatically to save the system from malfunction).
2. Power Supply may be unable to cope up with the load during heavy processing or I/O functions.
3. If you have any motherboard monitoring software on your system, which is switching off the system due to some faulty trigger.

·  My computer (while on the Internet) has really slowed down the last year or so.
Why could this happen and how can I fix it ?

Most Windows Operating Systems slow down after a while. This is quite a normal process. Windows keeps accumulating a lot of junk in the registry - to clean up the registy, you can use a registry cleaner like RegClean from :
http://www.webmasterfree.com/regcleaner.html
Always make a back-up of important data before doing anything to the Windows registry.

·  My internet connection is quite slow. Is there any way to boost the speed ?

You can also optimize your Internet Connection speed with a help of a few registry tweaks. Refer to the following site for more info :

·  When I start my PC, the fan becomes too noisy. The sound gradually reduces to a bearable level.

The noise from the fan could be due to some faulty bearings on the fan, or due to dust collection around the fan. You could get the fans cleaned and see if it solves the problem. If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll have to go ahead and change the fan.

·  who will download spybot

Hi,
Spybot - Search & Destroy (sometimes known as Spybot-S&D) is a malware, spyware and adware removal program for Microsoft Windows. Like most malware scanners, Spybot-S&D scans the computer hard disk and/or RAM for malicious software.

Spybot was written by German software engineer Patrick Michael Kolla, and is distributed by Kolla's company Safer Networking Limited. Development began in 2000 when Kolla, still a student, wrote a small program to deal with the Aureate/Radiate and Conducent TimeSink programs, two of the earliest examples of adware.

Spybot - Search & Destroy is currently released as freeware.


Spybot is able to fix problems with tracking cookies, system internals (Registry), Winsock LSPs, ActiveX objects, browser hijackers, and is to some extent, able to protect a user's privacy, by deleting usage tracks. Spybot also includes an "Immunize" feature which can be used to block the installation of spyware before it occurs. Another tool included in Spybot is a file shredder, for the secure deletion of files. Spybot is not intended to replace anti-virus programs, but it does detect some common trojans and keyloggers.

As some programs which ship with attached spyware or adware will refuse to run should the unwelcome co-programs be removed, later versions of Spybot allow it to replace the spyware binaries with inert dummies (designed to fool those programs which insist on the spyware's presence).

In order to efficiently detect recently created programs, Kolla regularly releases detection updates along with help improvements, new languages and better heuristics algorithms. These updates are downloaded from within the software from a variety of mirrors and are then automatically installed prior to a program restart.

Spybot is available for all versions of Windows from Windows 95, and offers several
different languages and skins to users. Instructions are available on the website so users can design their own skins.

Support is currently supplied by means of internet forums and support emails (with a
response time of usually no more than 24 hours).which insist on the spyware's presence).

·  in hp ml110g2 is not taking raid card (long beepis coming)

The HP Pro ML110G2 is usually not very III party raid friendly. There are a lot many compatibility issues that crop up from time to time. It is reccomended that you try out the ML110 SCSI RAID Ctr WW, which might help out, assuming that the problem is directly related with the raid controller.

·  Is it true that, when One uses a pirated version Of Microsoft Xp... one cant use Internet

Negative. Although it is allways recommended that you use the original version which gives you all the freedom to visit and download all the latest updates from Microsoft.

·  what is raid 5

RAID-5 protects the data for a number of disks using a single disk that is the same size as the smallest disk in the array. For example, a Web server uses five disks in an application, and failure of one disk must not cause server downtime. Assuming that each disk is 72 GB, the total usable capacity for a five-disk RAID-5 array would be 288 GB. The usable capacity of a RAID-5 array equals s(n - 1), where s is the capacity of the smallest disk in the array and n is the total number of disks in the array.

In the preceding example, a single 72 GB disk can protect all the data in the 288 GB array should one of the other disks fail. As another example, in a 15-disk array of 72 GB disks, a single 72 GB disk can protect the entire 1008 GB array.

RAID-5 provides an efficient way to protect data and achieves read performance similar to RAID-0. Meanwhile, write performance of the RAID-5 array is nearly as fast as a single disk. Because it protects data and boosts performance, RAID-5 is becoming popular for general-purpose servers such as file and Web servers.

Calculating XOR functions A single disk can protect the data on any number of other disks by performing the simple Boolean XOR operation. XOR is both an associative and commutative operation, which means that neither the order nor the grouping of the operands affects the results. XOR is also a binary operation and has only four possible combinations of two operands. Two operands have a "true" XOR result when one and only one operand has a value of 1.

Implementing the XOR function in dedicated hardware, which can be an XOR ASIC or an I/O processor with integrated XOR functionality, greatly increases the throughput of data requiring this operation. Every byte of data stored to a RAID-5 volume requires XOR calculations. Do check out how an XOR operation works as it forms the basis to understanding how RAID-5 can protect so much data with so little additional disk capacity.
I do hope that this answers your question.

·  when i start my system automatycaly coming dial up connection. why this happing. that asking ful time

There is a techinical way to solve this problem, but with trained hands. A simpler way to solve this problem is to simply uninstall the fax-modem drivers, reboot and reinstall the drivers.

·  hi computrcity team

my task bar showing vitural memmory low why this showing have critical problem ? if have any problem any solution?

To set the virual memory yourself, rather than allow windows to do it, right click the My Computer Icon on your desktop, select properties. When the Properties box appears, go to the performance tab andpress virual memory and switch the dot to "let me specify my own virutal memory settings". The min and max should be set the same. A guideline for this is to be 2 and a half times your RAM size. Hope that this solves your problem

·  hi

I opening any application one window comming send error repot,and dont send eror report i click to dont send window full close and click to send error report that gos to internet we dont have internet why this happing can u help me ? I cannot open any application. please give me a answer

In an effort to make Windows XP a better and more stable operating system, Microsoft has included Error Reporting in the latest release. Whenever an application has to close because of an error, it asks that a report be sent to Microsoft for study and evaluation. Sending the report is optional, but users can benefit from the error log that is generated if they wish to study it or print a hard copy. If you find error reporting objectionable and want it disabled:

Open Control Panel.
Click on Performance and Maintenance.
Click on System.
Then click on the Advanced tab.
Click on the error-reporting button on the bottom of the windows.
Select Disable error reporting.
Click [OK] [OK]

or

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting
Modify/Create the Value Name according to the Value Data listed below.
Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: DoReport
Value Data: [0 = Don’t Send Reports / 1 = Do Send Reports]
Exit Registry and Reboot
