To Speed Up Your Computer |
This information brought to You by JerSooz Ezine Jim Edwards Tips Top 9 Ways To "Speed Up" Your Surfing & Computing - by Jim Edwards (c) Jim Edwards - All Rights reserved Jim Edwards http://www.IGottaTellYou.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- It seems like "fast" never quite rates "fast enough!" No matter how quickly your computer moves, especially on the Internet, it could always move faster. :-) Email, web surfing, downloading files (legally of course), switching between applications... none of them ever go as quickly as we want or expect. Well, let me do my part to perpetuate this "microwave oven" mentality (why must popcorn take 3 ½ minutes instead of 2?) by giving you some tips and hints for making your online experiences and overall computing as fast as possible (even on a dial up connection). ** Hit The Accelerator ** Sensing a need for faster Internet access in markets where broadband cable or DSL can't or won't go, Internet Service Providers (ISP's) like NetZero offer Internet "accelerators." Using a system of caches, compression schemes, and other technology to double or even triple your dial-up connection speeds, Internet accelerators can save you hours spent waiting for simple web pages to appear in your browser. Though they won't work for everyone in every single situation, check out www.netzero.comor maybe www.propel.com and www.slipstreamdata.com for more information. ** Clean Up Your Hard Drive ** Often a messy hard drive can contribute to slow online experiences. Perform a "Disk Cleanup" and a "Defrag" (available by clicking This will help when running offline applications too, especially those that read and write from the hard drive frequently in the process of doing their tasks. ** Get More RAM ** RAM (Random Access Memory) allows your computer to process data more quickly without writing and reading from the hard drive. Ask any nerd like me and they'll tell you straight out, "You can NEVER have too much RAM!" RAM costs so little now that virtually anyone can afford to add more memory to their computer without a big hit to their wallet. ** Avoid Time Wasters ** Speeding up your surfing doesn't just mean pulling the maximum amount of data through your phone line until it melts! It also means avoiding things that suck your time up and leave you sitting twiddling your thumbs instead of getting things done. Make the most of your time online with these time-saving tips:
** Slow Mouse? ** When I flick my wrist I expect that mouse to hop from one side of the screen to the other like the house was on fire!

If you suffer from a "slow mouse," click Special Note... to change Mouse...its go Lower Left Start then Settings then Control Panel then look for Your Mouse Settings XP is merely Start then Control Panel then Mouse Settings Then you'll see a tab that says "Pointer Options" or "Motion" (or something similar) and you can adjust the slider left or right to increase or decrease the speed of your mouse's movement across the screen. ** Use Windows Keyboard Shortcuts ** Windows has a number of nifty keyboard combinations that most people don't know about, but can save you incredible amounts of time, energy, effort and frustration. Hold down the "Ctrl" key and hit the letter Z and you can often undo the last action you took in Windows. This comes in especially handy when you've deleted something (like a term paper or 500 word article) and want it back. If you accidentally do something wrong, STOP hitting keys immediately and do Well, it turns out that little key has some cool uses. Hold down ** Microsoft Office Shortcuts ** If you use Word or Excel or any of the ( MicroSoft Office Products), the following shortcuts will help you speed up many common activities.
