Few days ago I had finished building Google Chromium OS from source. I was little bit curious about that. After running the image in VirtualBox, truly I can say one thing - I am not impressed. You can't do anything without your browser. Because it is developed by Google. So people have to use there products through browser. But it has some good things also. Booting is too fast. It is 100% Open Source. You can say that it's a new distro of GNU/Linux. Final version of Google Chromium OS wi

Hi everyone,I am currently presented with a dilemma, I have a desktop running a 32-bit Windows XP Media Edition in my room and another running the 64-bit Home Premium Windows 7 in my office. Now the problem is that I have a HP Deskjet 3920 attached in the office and I used to have my old 64-bit Vista unit and my XP unit linked via a home network connection, which allowed me to print from my room to the office, however with this 64-bit Windows 7 this proves to be a problem.

Disappearing Files? Explorer Reporting Incorrect Free Disk Space?
I hate to have to ask, but why is Windows Explorer being dumb?Just the other night I copied 12GB worth of video files from my brother (Futurama episodes). It happened to be my last 12GB, leaving my 500GB external hard drive with less than 300MB of free space. I turned the hard drive off, packed up, and left for home.Booting up the same hard drive to search for its contents, I was surprised to have about 13GB of free disk space left on the hard drive. I figured that maybe my brother actually said

Hello everyone I've recently decided to drop Windows 7.

Windows Vista: Disabling Login Screen
Hi all,I'm sure some of you gave a thought to this, why does Vista always show the login screen when booting? In XP there was an option somewhere in control panel to "assume this user always login to the computer" or something like that. That way if you used the same user 99% of the time and wanted to keep a second user as say an administrator you could do so by setting that option. If you ever wanted to switch to the "hidden" user you could do so with Log Off or Switch U
Pros And Cons Of Mac, Windows, And Linux
Before i start i want to make sure you understand this is not a what OS is better this is a what is better at certain things and your reasons why. I would also like to know more about Linux because i'm slightly confused on it. Will it mess my computer up if i install it, dont like it, and uninstall it? OK on with the topic.I own a Mac and work on one for many hours a day, but had always used a Windows based system since well i was 5 and i remember my father using DOS to run Duke Nukem haha.

Can Anyone Recommend A Light Linux Distro?
I'm looking for a light linux distro, but something decent, that will only run on about 128-256 ram, CPU 1.8GHz, that has office (probably open office or abiword) that won't need more than about 2-4GB hard drive. (Something like puppy linux)Just to run in an emulator. I'm asking because there might be a killer distro out there that I haven't heard of or found that someone might know about. If not puppy linux will be great for it.Thanks

This is a tutorial explaining a way to remove a stuck OS option from boot menu after the removal of that operating system.For eg....if you had a windows xp and windows vista both installed on the hard-disk and due to some reason you have to remove vista..

But again when you start the system you get the boot menu offering you both windows to be started although the vista

Simple, if some one has to access a computer via remote desktop and if that computer does not have a password in order t

How To Make A Windows Installation Disk Bootable
Most of the CDs containing operating systems like Windows XP are bootable, which means you can insert them into your machine, restart your computer and the OS will start installing or ask you what to do. This is very convenient and crucial if the system has no other OS installed or it is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.For some reason some of the CDs I have used over time are not bootable. They still contain all of the installation files but the PC will not boot off them. This is a simple

I had installed it about 3 months ago, used it for a month, and then tried to update to Karmic Release Candidate, but that point Karmic was pretty much what it was gonna be, since it was the last day of bug testing, and since it was a distro update the whole thing would come with all the bugs fixed, well up to that point anyway.

How To Default To Details In Xp Explorer?
Something that bothers me, and for which I think there must be a "cure", is the fact that in Windows XP every time i open a certain folder it shows up in a seemingly random view, in most cases either "icons" or "tiles", in some case "thumbnails" if we are dealing with pictures. While the latter makes sense I don't see why I shouldn't be able to set my preference for a given folder, so that for example the folder c:\apps always shows up in &quo

Windows Xp: Explorer.exe Crashes On Certain Accounts

Karmic Koala Upgrade And Some Linux Questions
Hi trapsters. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala today after I got my new hard drive. I have a few questions tho. After installing, Grub is taking so much longer to load. Is this normal? Anyone else experienced this kind of thing? I can also see (in the boot-loader menu) that it's a beta version of Grub, can I downgrade to a stable version?When I have special effects on medium and I use the gnome panel to minimize and maximize windows, minimizing works fine but maximizing comes with a dela
So basically tonight I got the ingenius idea of trying to "delete" Ubuntu (Linux) from my computer, so I figured I'd delete the partition that I created when I set up the dual boot on my laptop. So after ****ing around with the partition manager, I decided to restart my computer. Bad idea. Now when I turn on my laptop, the first thing I see is "NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" and only that.I don't have my Windows XP disc or anything like that, so I re

For the past month or so I have been putting up with what I think are corrupted files within OutLook Express running Windows 2000 Pro. The source of this corruption is my ISP's virus, spy, firewall, along with pop-up blocker etc. package, called FREEDOM. Not a bad package but definitely aggressive. I arrived at this conclusion after talking to my ISP and studying the NET..... What takes place is this, I send an E-mail and at the end of that transmission, I receive an OutLook error window whi
Nasty Windows Tricks Using Vbs Codes
The CMD Codes- to use, open up notepad and copy and paste the code into the notepad. name the file (anyname).vbs (to make a .vbs file, when u save it or save as, it will ask u for a name and which type u want it, so choose all file then just name it as a .vbs file) then just click on the file u just made*NOTE* these codes do not stay on forever, they just stay on until the person shuts off the computer.

Installing Windows Xp On A Sata Enabled Desktop/notebook Computer.
If you bought a brand new computer within the past few years, you might have noticed that your computer shipped with a Serial ATA (SATA) controller instead of the convetional Enhanced IDE (EIDE) controller. The reason for this is to enhance performance and power management as SATA controllers and their supported Hard Disk Drives have a higher data transfer speed against their IDE counterparts. And they are supposed to use lesser amount of power thereby saving you more battery life in your noteb

I do agree that Microsoft is one of the Huge Corporate Giant which has been releasing Operating systems which every body looks upon, even he who hates Microsoft windows and uses Linux will say what is that it is in your windows , the same thing can be made available in Linux too, which simply means he too have used or have had a look at windows . This simply proves that no one can ignore Microsoft Just like that. But what ever i too love Windows and windows XP was a well reputed operating syste

After 18 Years Windows 3.1 Is Officially Retired
Wow is all I have to say just because of the fact I thought they gave up giving licenses for this old, outdated, slow, useless operating system. I guess not as November 1st, 2008 Windows 3.1 is officially dead and the funny thing is didn't support for this operating system end at windows 98 or something like that? Either way I wonder when they will stop issuing liscenses for 95, 98, ME, 2000 because those operating systems are just as outdated and can not even run most of the web technolog

Os X Leopard Upgrade/full Install
I am running OS X 10.4 right now and am looking to upgrade to Leopard soon. I was browsing online for OS X and came across two types one that listed as being an upgrade only requiring you to have 10.4 already installed I believe and one that did not list any requirements. Obviously the one listing no requirements seemed the better option but I would like to know if this is correct. If I just get the version that doesn't specifically say I need 10.4 installed as a requirement(upgrade version)
What Keeps Using Up All My Cpu In Ubuntu?
Lately, I've been experiencing an annoying problem with Ubuntu. For seemingly no reason, something become unruly and start using up all my CPU. It doesn't even seem to be just certain programs, and I'm not doing anything that should be cpu intensive (no compiling or installing packages or anything). Sometimes it happens doing routine things that normally take seconds, like opening a file, or saving a file. Sometimes, it's just an obvious thing like gam-server being annoying, or
Windows 7 Has Very Long Installation Time (3-4 Hrs.)
If you're planning to upgrade to Windows 7, a word of caution. It can take as long as three or four hours, depending on what OS you're upgrading from. So before you attempt the upgrade, check whether you and your computer are ready for it.First off, if you're running XP, prepare to scrap your computer. Most XP computers won't have the power to run Windows 7. Plus, you've got an unbelievably long process ahead, and you'll have to erase everything on your drive. On the plus
