Nick S asked:


We have 3 computers at work and are trying to connect them all together so that one can be the main server and the other two can dump files into it. It is okay if they are all open because we are on a secure network. As long as we can dump files into each others computers. One of the computers is running Vista and the other two are running XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Jorge asked:


Me and my roommates have 3 computers, 2 are connected with wireless, and the other one is plugged into the router. 2 have vista and one has XP. How can i make the music folders on each computer shared, so I can just drag songs off the other computers onto mine? I tried networking it and it always ask for a password to access the other computers. How would I do this using XP and Vista ? Thanks!

A scuba diving computer can be a divers best friend. It will allow you to stay down longer than if you were diving off of tables. There are many types and/or styles of dive computers you can choose from. Which one is best is really personal preference and is suited to the way you dive. The following are some of the choices you will have when purchasing your dive computer.

Console Dive Computer

A console dive computer is attached to the rest of the equipment via a hose. The console dive computers typically come with a pressure gauge. The readouts are typically larger than on a wrist dive computer so they can also be easier on the eyes.

There are also options for a scuba dive computer to be mounted on your hose (this is the type we currently use) or clip onto your BC. Choose whichever is more comfortable for you and fits into your price range.

Wrist Dive Computer

The wrist dive computer is very popular. These types of computers look like large watches and are worn on the wrist. They will tell you all you need to know at a glance. Some wrist dive computers are also able to be mounted in a console.

Sometimes the faces may be a bit small for all the information the computer can display, so make sure you will be able to read it underwater.

Unless they are air integrated and wireless (see below) wrist dive computers usually do not come with a pressure gauge. One small disadvantage here is that these can be pretty easy to misplace/lose.

Air Integrated Dive Computer

Air integrated dive computers are becoming more commonplace. An air integrated computer measures the tank pressure and then calculates how much more time you have left at the current rate of air consumpetion. The air integrated dive computer will tell you how much time you can spend at any exertion level.

An air integrated computer replaces the need for a submersible pressure gauge (SPG). One downside of an air integrated computer is that if it fails, you lose information on how much air you have left in your tank. Dive over.

Nitrox Dive Computer

With nitrox diving becoming more and more common, so are computers that are nitrox compatible. Even if you aren’t diving with nitrox now, if you are even thinking of diving with nitrox in the future, it is probably worth it to purchase a nitrox dive computer. This will save you the expense of buying a whole new computer in the future. However, if don’t think you will ever dive with nitrox, then there is no reason to pay for this feature. A standard air computer is probably $100+ less than its nitrox counterpart.

Hoseless Dive Computer

The hoseless dive computer consists of the receiver (typically worn on the wrist or mounted on the BC) and a transmitor. The transmitor attaches to the high pressure port of the regulator first stage and then sends your air information, wirelessly, to the receiver. The receiver looks the same as normal dive computers.

This setup cuts down on the number of hoses you need. There are now even hoseless dive computers that can accept signal from multiple transmitors - so you can even keep an eye on your buddies air consumption. Of course, this capability is really for the more advanced technical divers who may use different tanks on one dive. And, of course, we are talking some pretty high price tags here.

So just think about how you dive and what capabilities you need. The right dive computer for one person can be completely wrong for another person. Choose one that you are comfortable with and one that is right for you wallet.

K. Purden asked:


Almost everyone owns a computer and some are not aware on how to maintain their computer in good shape. If the computer slows down there initial reaction is that the computer is infected with a virus. Though, this is true but not all the time it is the main cause of the problem. It may be as simple as there are programs that are running in the back ground that should not be and many more.

Speed up computer by searching for the main cause of the problem and treating it. Here are the main reasons why the computer slows down and how to deal with it:

1. There are sectors on the hard disk that is not used, which makes storing new files difficult. This will relatively slow down the computer because it will have a hard time looking for a good sector to store information. There might be an available sector but it is not enough so it will look for another available sector and so on.

To speed up computer, defrag the computer once in a while. Twice a month is ideal and you do not have to be in front of the computer all through out when doing this. All you need to do is start the Disk Defragment tool and choose the drive you want to defrag. Once it has started running then you can just leave it because it will take several hours to finish.

2. Corrupted files can cause the computer to slow down. It can also result to the computer crashing which makes it difficult for the computer to shut down. To speed up computer, use the Scan Disk tool included in Windows operating systems. This will search for files that are not being used in the computer and that are safe to delete.

The files include temporary Internet files, Cache, Cookies and files in the Recycle bin. You have the option to delete the selected files or not.

3. The most common cause of a slow PC as mentioned earlier is virus infection. The computer can be infected after browsing a malicious website like pornography sites. Adware or spyware can be installed in the computer where in it can display several advertisements on the computer. This will gradually slow down the loading of programs and makes it impossible to work continuously.

Speed up computer by installing a reliable antivirus program. It is recommended that antivirus programs must be installed before using the computer especially when it is a brand new computer.

4. Sometimes unnecessary programs are installed in the computer that is not used frequently. Like for instance games, programs that you have forgotten to remove after trying it or trial programs.

Open the Control Panel and open Add/Remove Programs feature. This will display all the programs that are installed in the computer. Browse the list and look for the programs that you are not using then remove it. After removing programs always make it a point to restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Also if possible, look for the folder associated with the program under Program Files and delete the folders.

5. Programs that are running in start up can also slow down the computer. If a program automatically starts in Windows reboot it will access the memory and this can take up a space. And if several programs are running in start up all at once, the programs will compete on accessing the memory. This will make it harder for the computer to start completely.

To speed up computer start up, do not check the option that says “Automatically start on Windows Reboot”. This option is usually seen under the Settings of the program.

Registry cleaners are also important tools that you should have installed in the computer. This will help you maintain the registry and computer performance in good shape.

Aaron Stone asked:


1.  Go Easy On The Display Settings

It is very easy to get carried away with a wide range of visual options.  While you might things that this makes your pc look good – it will also impact on the performance of your computer.  If you get rid of some of those display options you will enjoy a computer that is faster and more reliable.

So how do you fix a slow computer by changing the visual display settings?

Find the control panel on your computer and click the system option.  Go to the advanced tab.  In the performance tab click on the settings.  OK now you will see a wide range of options that can be selected.  I would remove all and only leave the following as selected items.  Show shadows under menus, Show shadows under mouse pointer,  Show translucent selection rectangle, Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop, Use visual styles on windows and buttons

Try out these different options and work out what is best for you.  The main thing is to make sure you do not have too many options as it will make your computer slower.

2.  Remove File Indexing

You may not have heard of file indexing before – but enabling this option on your computer will slow your computers performance markedly.  It uses a large volume of the RAM (Memory) on your computer.  So – we suggest you disable this service and you will notice the difference immediately.

If you go to ‘my computer’ and right click the C: drive.  Then select properties and unselect the “allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching”.  Then apply this change to C: subfolders and files and click OK

3.  Get Rid of Your Desktop Picture

I know you quite like the picture of aunt Dorothy that you have on your computer desktop background!  However, if you get rid of this image and restore default settings for your background you will improve your computer speed and performance.  You are using a lot of memory to have this on your computer background.

4.  Clean Your Computer Registry

Your computer registry is the powerhouse of your computer.  If your windows registry is not free from damage and well organized, your system will become unbelievably slow and is likely to start  freezing, and crashing.  You should regularly clean your windows registry with and effective registry cleaning product to ensure that you computer is running fast and your registry is performing optimally.  Visit www.fixaslowcomputer.com for details on top rated registry products and to perform a free scan of your computer registry to see if it is running at peak performance.

5. Clear your computers ‘prefetch’ folder 

What is ‘pre-fetching’?  Well – this actually refers to when your computer will pre-load frequently loaded applications and data to ensure that your programmes start running faster than without prefetching.  However, after you have used your computer for a period of time it will keep loading some stuff that is no longer necessary.  You should look to regularly empty this prefetch folder to help your slow computer and ongoing pc performance.  GO to the windows folder under your lodal hard disk X:\windows\prefetch (X is the drive where you have Windows installed) or %systemroot%\prefetch



6. How many fonts do you really need?

Another tip on how to fix a slow computer is to ensure that you only have the fonts that you are actually going to use loaded.  Additional fonts will use memory and computer power – especially TrueType fonts.  Get rid of some of these by going to your control panel, visiting the fonts folder and moving the ones you do not require to a temp directory.  That way you can bring them back if need be !

William Robinson asked:


Being a computer technician pays nice money and has for a very long time. Why?well,mainly becuase alot of new computer owners fail to learn how to use and maintain there new computer. Before purchasing my first computer back in 1998,I took an 8 hour class on the basics of operating a windows 95 system based computer..Even with the class,within the first few months,I had crashed the computer 3 times. This gives you somewhat of an idea about what we have here today..Alot of people now are getting computers becuase there friends have one,or to just get into the chat rooms,or the adult sites..point being..they dont know how to use a computer,much less maintain one.

To save yourself alot of money and unneedless trips to the computer shop for repairs,there are a series of very simple steps you can take to keep your new computer running fast and efficient. Myself,I have windows xp home edition running on my computer. I find it to be the best system out there at the moment.The choice is of course yours as to what operating system you install on your machine. When you get your new computer home and you configure an internet connection,the first thing I recommend that you do is to get to the windows update site. The site will automatically update your new operating system with files to prevent people on other computers from accessing your data. Next step is to install an anti-virus and spyware program on your computer.

If your buying a new computer from a big outlet,this is usually included with your purchase but not always.Make sure to inquire about this when purchasing your computer. Both these programs,the anti-virus and the anti-spyware are a must have in todays computer age..You can get good information from google(http://www.google.com}. Just type in anti-virus in the search box..you will get choices for alot of programs..same for the anti-spyware.

Over time,you will visit alot of websites..Most of these sites has what are called “cookies”.These are little embedded packages of data(files),that the sites you have visited leave on your computer to track your browsing habits. After awhile,these files need to be purged,deleted from your computer.

Other files that need to be purged at least once a week,are your temporary internet files and your history files. Failing to do this will really slow down your computer to a crawl and possibly cause a system crash,meaning you will have to re-install your operating system.

When you open up internet explorer,at the top left of the page,you will see options..Look for the Tools option.Left click “Tools”,then left click “Internet Options”.From there it should be straight foward for you.After you have deleted your temporary internet files and history files,click “OK” I do this at least once a day,really keeps my computer running fast.

Now im going to share with you,some things you can do about whats inside of your computer “the case”or your computers “hardware”. No matter how clean the surroundings where you have your computer placed,over time,alot of dust and particles gather on the inside..your motherboard,inside the power supply,on your cpu,all your cards”video,sound,ect.” I clean the inside of my computer every 3 months and I recommend all new users do it also.

Here is how to do it: First,before you do anything,make sure the computer is unplugged from the outlet and is completely turned off! Next is to get a screwdriver for those little round screws you will need to undo to get inside your case. When both sides of the case are removed,you will need a can of compressed air..you can buy this from any computer store for under 5 dollars. You then spray all the areas inside the case..you will see the dust and dirt flyng off from the places you sprayed. Doing this 4 times a year(every 3 months)Is a great way to save alot of money and keep your computer running like its brand new.

I hope you all have enjoyed my computer tips.

Sincerely, William
