26 Keunggulan Windows 7

Windows 7 adalah sistem operasi terbaru keluaran Micosoft. Berbeda dengan Windows Vista, Windows 7 jauh lebih ringan loadingnya tetapi vitur yang ditawarkan jauh lebih banyak. Dengan berbagai penyempurnaan disana-sini windows 7 tampil elegant dan banyak diminati para user. Menutur penuturan Wikipedia disebutkan bahwa Windows ini memiliki kernel NT 6.1. Microsoft mengumumkan bahwa pengembangan Windows 7 akan berjalan dalam tiga tahun. Versi klien dari Windows 7 akan dirilis dalam versi 32-bit dan 64-bit walaupun versi servernya (yang akan menggantikan Windows Server 2008) akan dirilis hanya dalam versi 64-bit, yang akan dinamakan Windows Server 2008 R2. Komputer akan memberitahu jika terjadi perubahan pada komputer tersebut. Windows 7 diluncurkan pada tanggal 22 Oktober 2009. Setiap pengguna akan mendapat perlindungan 3 lapis jika ada permintaan mengunduh file dari yang tak dikenal. Windows 7 didesain dengan fitur baru dan peningkatan performa dari Windows Vista.

Ada banyak sekali keunggulan Windows 7 dibandingkan dengan Widows edisi sebelumnya antara lain :

1. Kemudahan dan Kenyamanan

Anda harus tahu bahwa Windows 7 tidak akan memiliki perubahan drastis dari segi arsitektur perangkat lunak seperti Vista dari XP — Microsoft sendiri sudah berjanji bahwa pengguna yang meakukan upgrade dari Vista tidak akan menemui masalah kompatibilitas. Karena Windows 7 tidak banyak berubah di belakang layar, Microsoft dapat memfokuskan pengembangan pada pengalaman pemakaian OS itu sendiri dan bukan pada berbagai aspek teknis lain seperti keamanan dan stabilitas.
Sebagian besar perubahan yang dikemas Windows 7 berusaha untuk meningkatkan kemudahan dan kenyamanan pengguna, dan di bawah ini adalah beberapa dari fitur-fitur baru Windows 7 yang sudah terlihat di demonstrasi PDC Microsoft.

2. Windows Taskbar yang Diperbaharui
Taskbar pada Windows 7 memudahkan kendali dan membantu untuk mengakses program dan file yang dibutuhkan secara lebih cepat. Setiap Windows yang ada di taskbar dapat dilihat secara penuh apabila mouse diarahkan ke windows tersebut. Dengan ukuran ikon yang lebih besar membuatnya mudah di-klik dengan windows ataupun dengan fitur multi-touch Windows 7. Program dan file yang sering digunakan dapat mudah ditempatkan di taskbar untuk pengaksesan lebih cepat.

3. Jump List
Jump list disetiap program pada menu start dan windows taskbar mempermudah dalam mencari sesuatu. Secara otomatis disusun berdasarkan yang paling baru dan sering dibuka sehingga lebih sedikit waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mencari lagu favorit, atau file yang baru dikerjakan.

4. Snap, Shake, Peek
Program dan file yang sering digunakan dapat diakses dengan mudah tanpa desktop menjadi berantakan. Dengan adanya peek, arahkan muse ke kanan bawah taskbar dan semua windows yang terbuka ke arah yang lebuh jauh untuk mengukur ulang (re-size) windows tersebut, sehingga dua windows dapat terbuka pada sisi kana dan kiri secara bersamaan, untuk melakukan perbandingan.
Dengan shake, klik satu windows dan goyangkan mouse untu minimize windows lauin yang sedang terbuka.

4. Fastern on, Fastern off
Pengguna Windows 7 akan memperoleh manfaat dari peningkatan kinerja waktu memulai (start-up), resume dan menutup matikan (shut dows) PC yang lebih cepat dan peningkatan power management.

5. Windows Live Essentials
Komunika dan berbagai layanan merupakan salah satu hal yang penting. Di Windows 7, fitur yang ada di versi Windows sebelumnya akan disediakan secara cuma-cuma melalui program Windows Live Essentials. Pengguna dapat mengakses data offline dan melakukan berbagai hal untuk foto, video dan hal lainnya.

6. Internet Explorer 8
Berselancar di dunia maya dengan IE 8 semakin matap dengan menyesuaikan keperluan penggunaanya melalu peningkatan di kecepatan, dan smart screen filte, yang membabtu PC tetap aman dengan memberitahu situs yang memiliki potensi bahaya.

7. Windows Search
Fitur ini dapat mengidentifikasikan lokasi dan membuka file apapun pada PC dari menu start dengan hanya mengetik satu atau dua kalimat.

8. Web Slices
Fitur ini merupakan yang terbaru di Windows 7 dimana pengguna dapat memotong bagian yang ditargetkan dari sebuah situs yang kemudian ditempatkan di toolbar Internet Explorer 8 untuk referensi yang mudah dan cepat.

9. Parental Control
Membantu mengatur waktu yang spesifik dan menentukan program, situs serta game yang diperbolehkan untuk diakses anak-anak.

10. System Tray
Secara resmi dinamakan sebagai “Notification Area” Microsoft akhirnya memungkinkan pengguna alat-alat untuk menata area desktop yang sering berantakan ini. Pengguna dapat memiliki ikon apa saja yang ditampilkan di System Tray, mengubah posisi ikon dan apakah mereka diperbolehkan menarik perhatian pengguna dengan notifikasi.


11. User Account Control (UAC) yang Lebih Baik
UAC merupakan salah satu fitur yang paling dibenci pengguna Windows Vista. Kini selain pilihan “On” dan “Off” pengguna dapat memilih agar UAC hanya muncul saat instalasi aplikasi atau saat sebuah aplikasi mengubah konfigurasi Windows saja. Belum diketahui apakah perubahan ini cukup untuk menjadikan UAC dari musuh menjadi teman, tetapi perubahan ini setidaknya akan menjadikan UAC Windows lebih ramah.

12. Kinerja
Microsoft mengatakan bahwa mereka banyak melakukan perubahan untuk meningkatkan kinerja dan stabilitas Windows 7 seperti mengurangi waktu boot dengan mengaktifkan beberapa aplikasi secara parallel, metode manajemen memori baru dan banyak lagi. Saat ini masih terlalu dini untuk membicarakan kinerja, kita harus menunggu datangnya versi yang sudah hampir rampung untuk mendapatkan benchmark yang berarti, tetapi menurut Technologizer, Windows 7 terasa sangat cepat dioperasikan di laptop Dell yang dipinjamkan Microsoft — dan bersih dari bloatware.

13. Device Stage
Fitur baru ini mengumpulkan semua hal yang berhubungan dengan peripheral di satu tempat untuk memudahkan pengguna seperti konfigurasi, fitur, dokumentasi bahkan layanan pembelian tinta printer dan lain-lain.

14. Libraries
Apabila Anda sudah mengenal konsep library untuk lagu seperti yang dimiliki iTunes, konsep library di Windows 7 juga tidak akan asing bagi Anda. Fitur ini mengumpulkan semua file dalam PC Anda berdasarkan tipe ke dalam library masing-masing untuk memudahkan manajemen media. Sebagai contoh, semua foto dari semua PC dan jaringan akan dikumpulkan di sebuah library foto yang dapat diakses di satu tempat seperti gambar di bawah ini.

15. HomeGroups

Windows 7 memperkenalkan fitur jaringan baru bernama HomeGroups yang bertujuan untuk memudahkan beberapa komputer satu jaringan untuk saling berbagi file dan peripheral — seolah-olah semua itu terletak pada satu PC yang sama. Walaupun fitur-fitur Windows Networking sejak dulu selalu bertujuan sama, pada kenyataannya konfigurasi untuk menggunakan printer jaringan masih tetap terlalu sulit untuk sebagian besar pengguna.

16. “Peeking” (Mengintip)
Fitur peeking pada Windows 7 memudahkan pengguna untuk dengan cepat membaca konten dalam satu jendela tanpa perlu berinteraksi dengan jendela tersebut. Menempatkan cursor di atas thumbnail jendela di Task Bar akan mengubah semua jendela yang terbuka menjadi transparan kecuali jendela yang dipilih. Selain dapat “mengintip” jendela aplikasi tertentu pengguna juga dapat mengintip desktop Windows.

17. Sidebar Tidak Lagi Digunakan

Jika dibandingkan dengan widget Mac OS X yang dapat ditempatkan di desktop, perbedaan paling mencolok dari gadget Microsoft adalah peletakannya pada sidebar di sebelah kanan layar. Di Windows 7, sidebar tersebut dihilangkan karena dianggap terlalu banyak menggunakan tempat yang ada dan gadget kini dapat diletakkan langsung di desktop. Walaupun hal ini juga sebenarnya dapat dilakukan di Vista .

18. Kompatibilitas iTunes

WMP kini mendukung dua format media favorit Apple: AAC untuk audio dan H.264 untuk video. WMP ini juga dapat menemukan library iTunes yang ada pada jaringan dan memutar isinya. Fairplay DRM Apple tidak didukung, tetapi entah kenapa memutar sebuah video podcast yang beresolusi lumayan terlihat buruk di WMP.

19. WMP Minimalis
Saat Anda melakukan klik kanan pada sebuah file media di Windows Explorer dan menggunakan WMP untuk memutarnya, WMP akan muncul dalam mode minimalis yang tidak mendominasi desktop Anda. Anda juga bisa memutar media pada preview pane Windows Explorer tanpa perlu meluncurkan WMP sama sekali.

20. Streaming Multimedia
Windows 7 menambahkan fitur pengiriman file media dari PC ke berbagai alat yang mendukung streaming seperti sistem musik Sonos melalui jaringan. Microsoft mengatakan bahwa Windows 7 akan mengubah file ke dalam format sehingga dapat diputar oleh pemutar media Anda. Hal ini juga berarti Microsoft sudah selangkah lagi mendekati cita-cita Bill Gates menjadikan Windows pusat media di rumah. Versi Media Center dari Windows 7 juga mendapatkan upgrade besar.

21. Pengaturan Jendela Otomatis
Geser jendela mendekat tepi kanan atau kiri maka jendela tersebut akan langsung berubah ukuran menjadi setengah layar. Hal ini ditujukan untuk memudahkan Anda menyusun dua jendela secara berdampingan (seperti browser atau dokumen Word) agar Anda dapat dengan mudah bekerja pada kedua jendela sekaligus.

22. Mencari Semua Tempat Sekaligus

Fitur Windows 7 bernama “Search Federation” memungkinkan Anda untuk mengikutkan berbagai komputer, media penyimpanan jaringan dan situs ke dalam pencarian Windows 7.

23. Tema

Microsoft sudah sangat lama sekali tidak mengantarkan perubahan besar pada fitur kustomisasi tema di Windows. Di Windows 7 Microsoft menyediakan sebuah pemilih tema baru yang lebih baik dengan fitur preview dalam ukuran asli dan memungkinkan Anda untuk menyimpan tema kustom hanya dengan dengan beberapa klik. Microsoft juga berencana untuk mengganti namanya dari Themes menjadi Styles.

24. Windows Live

Secara resmi Microsoft memiliki mengemas sedikit sekali aplikasi pada Windows 7, tidak seperti Vista . Aplikasi Photo Gallery, Movie Maker dan email telah dijadikan unduhan gratis yang disebut Windows Live Esentials, walaupun Microsoft tetap berharap berbagai vendor PC tetap akan mengemas Windows Live Essentials ke dalam komputer yang mereka jual.

25. Paint Baru

Windows Paint yang sudah banyak terlupakan mendapatkan upgrade besar, kini tampil dengan UI ribbon dari Office 2007 yang sekarang telah menjadi standar di berbagai aplikasi Microsoft. Walaupun masih banyak yang menganggap Paint.net sebagai alternatif pengganti Paint yang lebih baik.

26. Fitur Layar Sentuh

Windows 7 adalah versi Windows pertama yang mendukung multi-touch yang memungkinkan Anda mengendalikan OS ini dengan kedua tangan. Masih banyak yang ragu apakah multi-touch akan merevolusi dunia PC sebagaimana ia merevolusi dunia ponsel. Saat ini hampir tidak ada PC yang beredar di pasar yang mendukung fitur layar sentuh selain TouchSmart dari HP dan Latitude XT dari Dell.

Perkembangan Windows dari Tahun ke Tahun

Siapa tidak tahu sistem operasi yang satu ini? Hampir semua pengguna komputer di seluruh dunia mengenal Windows dan berbagai varian sistem operasi yang dikembangkan Microsoft Corp. ini dari waktu ke waktu.

Saat pertama kali diperkenalkan, Windows menjadi sistem operasi berbasis grafis pertama yang dibuat Microsoft dan berhasil mengambil hati para pemakai komputer di tahun 80-an tentunya masih akrab dengan sistem operasi DOS (Disk Operating System).

Sebelum mengembangkan Windows, Microsoft memang telah mempunyai MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System). MS DOS sendiri merupakan sebuah sistem operasi yang bersifat single-tasking (hanya dapat menjalankan satu program pada satu waktu saja), menjalankan prosesor pada modus real (real mode), dan hanya dapat mendukung satu pengguna dalam satu waktu (single user). Pada tahun 1980, inspirasi atas popularitas MAC dengan Graphical User Interface yang diusungnya telah membuat Microsoft bertekat mengembangkan Windows, agar user dapat lebih nyaman dalam memakai sistem operasinya. Versi pertama Windows 1.x dirilis pada tanggal 10 November 1983, tapi tidak pernah keluar ke pasar publik sebelum bulan November 1985, karena banyaknya hambatan yang terjadi ketika pengembangan berlangsung. Windows 1.x sebenarnya merupakan sebuah paket GUI yang berjalan diatas sistem operasi DOS, oleh karenanya Microsoft memberi kode Windows 1.x sebagai Interface Manager.

Windows mulai populer saat memasuki generasi ketiganya, Windows 3.x pada tahun 1992. Windows 3.x ini kemudian diperbaiki dan menghasilkan Windows 95, versi pertama Windows yang mulai merebut hati para pemakai komputer PC pada umumnya, yang dirilis pada tanggal 14 Agustus 1995. Bersamaan dengan itu diperkenalkan pula Microsoft Offi ce 95, rangkaian aplikasi pengolah dokumen yang akhirnya sangat berperan dalam membesarkan nama Windows. Windows 95 membawa serangkaian inovasi yang sangat memanjakan user di era itu, seperti menu “Start”, yang merupakan pengganti Program Manager , sebuah menu untuk mengakses grup program. Sedangkan untuk pengganti File Manager, Microsoft memperkenalkan Windows Explorer. Selain itu Microsoft juga memperkenalkan browsernya, Internet Explorer dalam seri Windows ini. Dari Windows 95, Microsoft kemudian mengembangkannya menjadi Windows 98. Dengan jargon ”Works Better, Plays Better,” Windows 98 merupakan versi Windows pertama yang didesain secara spesifi k untuk konsumen. Windows 98 menawarkan beberapa perbaikan untuk AGP, USB, Plug and Play serta fi le system FAT32 dan Internet Explorer versi 4. Tak
lama setelah itu, Microsoft juga mengeluarkan seri kedua Windows 98, dengan nama Windows 98 Second Edition (Windows 98 SE). Windows 98 SE memberikan pembaharuan browser menggunakan Internet Explorer 5, NAT untuk berbagi koneksi Internet, Digital Versatile Disk (DVD), Windows Driver Model (WDM) yang menggantikan model Virtual Device Driver (VxD) serta Windows NetMeeting 3.

Setelah seri Windows 98, Microsoft kemudian mendesain Windows 2000 atau yang disebut juga Windows NT. Windows 2000 versi Beta yang pertama sebenarnya telah mulai dirilis pada tahun 1997, sedangkan versi RTM-nya baru dikeluarkan pada Februari tahun 2000. Windows 2000 ini keluar dalam beberapa seri, seperti Windows 2000 Data Center Edition, Windows 2000 SP (Service Pack) 1 hingga Windows 2000 SP 4.

Beberapa fitur baru yang ditambahkan Microsoft pada Windows 2000 ini antara lain adalah Active Directory yang baru, Image Preview, Windows Media Player 6.4 yang terintegrasi, kemampuan Plug And Play yang lebih canggih, sehingga memasang hardware tertentu dapat langsung berjalan tanpa harus melalui proses restart, ACPI (Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface) yang dapat menghemat daya, dan terminal service yang terintegrasi. Selain Windows 2000, Microsoft juga meluncurkan Windows millennium Edition atau yang disebut Windows ME, sebuah versi Windows yang didesain khusus untuk pengguna rumahan, dan ditujukan untuk menggantikan pasar Windows 98. Windows ME yang dirilis pada 14 September 2000 ini merupakan sistem operasi transisi antara 16-bit ke 32-bit, sehingga semua program 16-bit dan 32-bit dapat didukung dengan baik.

Dari pengembangan semua generasi Windows tersebut di atas, inovasi fi tur yang cukup menonjol adalah Universal Plug and Play, dimana komputer mampu untuk mengkonfi gurasi komponen hardware baru secara otomatis. Setelah Windows ME yang akhirnya tidak begitu populer di pasaran, Microsoft kemudian merilis Windows XP pada tahun 2001. Bisa dikatakan Windows XP ini merupakan produk Microsoft yang paling sukses di pasaran jika dibandingkan seri-seri OS keluaran Microsoft sebelumnya. Windows XP mempunyai stabilitas yang lebih tinggi, jumlah driver yang lebih banyak dan dukungan hardware yang lebih luas pula. Microsoft sendiri memberi nama XP sebagai kependekan dari ’Experience’. Windows XP merupakan versi pertama sistem operasi berorientasi konsumen dari Microsoft yang dibangun di atas kernel dan arsitektur Windows NT.

Windows XP pertama kali dirilis pada 25 Oktober 2001, dan dikembangkan dalam beberapa seri, antara lain:
• Windows XP Starter Edition
• Windows XP Professional
• Windows XP Home Edition
• Windows XP Media Center Edition
• Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
• Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
• Windows XP Professional 64-bit Edition for Itanium

Selanjutnya pada tahun 2006, Microsoft mengeluarkan Windows Vista atau yang sebelumnya juga dikenal dengan code name ’Longhorn’. Awalnya Longhorn direncanakan sebagai batu loncatan dari Windows XP ke Windows ’Black-Bomb’ atau yang nantinya juga kita kenal dengan Windows 7. Windows Vista dimaksudkan untuk diluncurkan sebagai produk berbasis-teknologi, sebagai sistem yang solid yang mencakup teknologi-teknologi baru tingkat tinggi. Banyak di antaranya merupakan teknologi yang berkaitan dengan bagaimana sistem berfungsi, yang bekerja di belakang layar dan tidak terlihat oleh end-user.
• Pembangunan ulang seluruh arsitektur audio, print, tampilan layar (display), dan stack jaringan
• Protokol IPv6 yang juga bekerja bersama dengan IPv4
• Struktur keamanan baru, termasuk BitLocker Drive Encryption
• Peningkatan kemampuan memory manager dan process scheduler
• System services dimasukkan sebagai sesi terpisah dan terisolasi, sementara proses User sebagai sesi yang berbeda.
• Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) untuk mencegah serangan Return-to-libc buffer overfl ow.
• Kernel Transaction Manager yang memungkinkan operasi transaksi atom melintasi berbagai obyek yang berbeda, terutama sekali sistem fi le (Transactional NTFS) dan operasi registry.
• Deadlock Detection Technology merupakan teknologi yang akan melakukan pengecekan atas kondisi-kondisi deadlock (kebuntuan sistem) untuk pelaporan error Windows.
Adapun seri dari Windows Vista yang diluncurkan oleh Microsoft ini dibedakan menurut fi tur dan kebutuhan penggunanya, sebagai berikut:
• Windows Vista Starter
• Windows Vista Home Basic
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Windows Vista Business
• Windows Vista Enterprise
• Windows Vista Ultimate
Adapun generasi terbaru yang dikeluarkan Microsoft setelah Vista, adalah Windows 7 yang baru saja dirilis pada bulan Oktober yang lalu. Windows 7 menawarkan keamanan berlapis, serta beberapa fitur baru seperti Windows Taskbar, Windows Live, Management Device, dan lain sebagainya.

How to Make Your Windows XP Run Faster

How to make Windows XP run Faster ? There are tips to do it. You can try this method to make your Windows XP run Faster. No one like if their Windows XP run Slower, its make me be boring. Read the tips below, and try it to make your Windows XP run Faster :

Apply Windows Updates

If you run Windows and you use the Internet, you simply MUST stay up to date with the system patches that come out in response to the privacy and security exploits that are discovered every week. Failure to do so is an open invitation to hackers and crackers to invade your privacy and enslave your computer in a spam spewing network. To get the latest fixes and configure your system for automatic updates, open Internet Explorer, click on Tools, then Windows Update.

Clean out Viruses and Malware

Are you running a good anti-virus program, with automatic updates? Have you scanned your system for spyware, adware and other unwanted pests? If not, see my article about the best free anti-virus and anti-spyware programs for details on how to protect yourself from those risks. Viruses and malware can slow down your system a LOT, because they use your resources to generate popup ads, send spam, and often interfere with the operation of good programs.

Remove Unnecessary Software

You may have a bunch of software packages on your hard drive that are no longer needed, or they were gratuitously installed when you downloaded some other package. Toolbars, file-sharing programs, free email enhancers, online shopping "companions" and download managers are notorious for this practice. These uninvited guests can put a big drag on your startup time, cause web pages to load slowly, and generally bog down your computer. Go to Control Panel, then Add/Remove Software to see what packages are installed. Remove the ones you know you don't need, and do a web search to learn about the ones you're not sure about.

Scrub That Hard Disk

Both Windows and application programs tend to leave temporary files lying around on your hard drive, taking up space needlessly. A hard drive that is close to being full can cause Windows to act strangely, and will slow down or interfere with efficient disk access and virtual memory operations. And if you surf the web a lot, your temporary internet files folder can become quite large, causing Internet Explorer to slow down or malfunction. Cleaning up unneeded files, scanning for disk errors and defragmenting the hard drive can help to restore some zip to your system. First, open My Computer, right-click on the C: Drive icon, select Properties, then click on Disk Cleanup. (Optional: Select the More Options tab to find and remove even more unwanted files.) To run a defrag, open My Computer, right-click on the C: Drive icon, select Properties, then Tools. Click the Check Now button to scan your disk for errors. When the scan is complete, click the Defragment Now button to run the defrag, which reorganizes your hard disk so Windows can find and access files more efficiently. (It's highly recommended that you close all running programs and disable your screen saver before running a defrag. Otherwise, updates to your files may trigger defrag to restart endlessly.)

Now Take a Breath...

We're more than half-way done with the process of cleaning the junk out of your computer. The rest of the steps may seem a little more geeky, and you can skip any or all of them if you don't feel comfortable digging a little deeper into the workings of the Windows operating system. But there is definitely bang for the buck here. Some of peskiest Windows performance problems can be solved by giving attention to these areas.

Slim Your Startup Selections

There are certain programs that Windows will start every time you boot up your system, and during the startup phase, they're all jockeying for a slice of your CPU. Extra or unwanted items in the startup list will defintely increase your startup time, perhaps by several minutes. To manage the list of startup programs, click on Start / Run, then type MSCONFIG. Press Enter, then select the Startup tab. If you see items in the list you know you don't need to run at startup time, UNcheck the box(es) next to them and press Apply. Some common examples are things related to AOL, RealPlayer, Napster, instant messengers, and video managers. If you're not sure about an item, no big deal. You can turn it off, restart your PC, and see if everything seems to work. If not, you can always go back and re-enable an item in the Startup list. This helpful list or this page may help you decide what to keep or drop.

Clean Your Registry

The Windows Registry is a database that enables the operating system to track the relationships between hardware and software. Unfortunately, problems with the registry can make Windows run slower. Sometimes an "orphaned" registry entry can confuse Windows during startup and cause a delay. And in general, slimming down your registry will make Windows run faster. There are several utility programs that will clean your system registry of unnecessary and erroneous entries.

Read more about the Windows registry, and find some free programs you can use to correct registry problems in my article Do I Need a Registry Cleaner?

RAM and Virtual Memory Settings

When you run out of physical (RAM) memory, Windows will use a check of your hard disk to create virtual memory. This is a nice feature, because it allows application programs to access huge amounts of memory. The only problem with virtual memory is that it's a lot slower than real RAM. So installing extra RAM on the system board is a good idea because it's pretty cheap and easy to pop in. Find out how much your system will accommodate and install the maximum amount. Extra RAM will probably do more to boost your overall system performance than anything else! But getting back to Virtual Memory, it's wise to let Windows manage the amount, unless you are a Wizard, with a capital W. Go to Control Panel / System / Advanced, then press the Settings button under Performance. Click Advanced again, then press the Change button under Virtual Memory. If System managed size is selected, you're all set. If you want to fiddle with the Custom Size options, be my guest!

Turn Off Extraneous System Services

We're heading into uber-geek territory here, so be forewarned. Windows doesn't know exactly how you're going to use your computer, so it starts a whole bunch of system services that manage network connections, database access, error reporting, remote access and other nerdy-sounding things. You may not need all these services, and disabling some of them can reduce your startup time and system overhead. But choosing which ones to nuke is a bit daunting, unless you are an expert on Windows operating system internals. Here's my advice... look at these explanations and advice then disable only the ones that you're sure about. If you encounter a problem, you can always go back and turn a service back on.

Go to Control Panel / System / Advanced, then press the Settings button under Performance. Click Advanced again, then press the Change button under Virtual Memory. If System managed size is selected, you're all set. If you want to fiddle with the Custom Size options, be my guest!

Turn Off Extraneous System Services

We're heading into uber-geek territory here, so be forewarned. Windows doesn't know exactly how you're going to use your computer, so it starts a whole bunch of system services that manage network connections, database access, error reporting, remote access and other nerdy-sounding things. You may not need all these services, and disabling some of them can reduce your startup time and system overhead. But choosing which ones to nuke is a bit daunting, unless you are an expert on Windows operating system internals. Here's my advice... look at these explanations and advice then disable only the ones that you're sure about. If you encounter a problem, you can always go back and turn a service back on.

How to make Windows XP run Faster ? There are tips to do it. You can try this method to make your Windows XP run Faster. No one like if their Windows XP run Slower, its make me be boring. Read the tips below, and try it to make your Windows XP run Faster :

Apply Windows Updates

If you run Windows and you use the Internet, you simply MUST stay up to date with the system patches that come out in response to the privacy and security exploits that are discovered every week. Failure to do so is an open invitation to hackers and crackers to invade your privacy and enslave your computer in a spam spewing network. To get the latest fixes and configure your system for automatic updates, open Internet Explorer, click on Tools, then Windows Update.

Clean out Viruses and Malware

Are you running a good anti-virus program, with automatic updates? Have you scanned your system for spyware, adware and other unwanted pests? If not, see my article about the best free anti-virus and anti-spyware programs for details on how to protect yourself from those risks. Viruses and malware can slow down your system a LOT, because they use your resources to generate popup ads, send spam, and often interfere with the operation of good programs.

Remove Unnecessary Software

You may have a bunch of software packages on your hard drive that are no longer needed, or they were gratuitously installed when you downloaded some other package. Toolbars, file-sharing programs, free email enhancers, online shopping "companions" and download managers are notorious for this practice. These uninvited guests can put a big drag on your startup time, cause web pages to load slowly, and generally bog down your computer. Go to Control Panel, then Add/Remove Software to see what packages are installed. Remove the ones you know you don't need, and do a web search to learn about the ones you're not sure about.

Scrub That Hard Disk

Both Windows and application programs tend to leave temporary files lying around on your hard drive, taking up space needlessly. A hard drive that is close to being full can cause Windows to act strangely, and will slow down or interfere with efficient disk access and virtual memory operations. And if you surf the web a lot, your temporary internet files folder can become quite large, causing Internet Explorer to slow down or malfunction. Cleaning up unneeded files, scanning for disk errors and defragmenting the hard drive can help to restore some zip to your system. First, open My Computer, right-click on the C: Drive icon, select Properties, then click on Disk Cleanup. (Optional: Select the More Options tab to find and remove even more unwanted files.) To run a defrag, open My Computer, right-click on the C: Drive icon, select Properties, then Tools. Click the Check Now button to scan your disk for errors. When the scan is complete, click the Defragment Now button to run the defrag, which reorganizes your hard disk so Windows can find and access files more efficiently. (It's highly recommended that you close all running programs and disable your screen saver before running a defrag. Otherwise, updates to your files may trigger defrag to restart endlessly.)

Now Take a Breath...

We're more than half-way done with the process of cleaning the junk out of your computer. The rest of the steps may seem a little more geeky, and you can skip any or all of them if you don't feel comfortable digging a little deeper into the workings of the Windows operating system. But there is definitely bang for the buck here. Some of peskiest Windows performance problems can be solved by giving attention to these areas.

Slim Your Startup Selections

There are certain programs that Windows will start every time you boot up your system, and during the startup phase, they're all jockeying for a slice of your CPU. Extra or unwanted items in the startup list will defintely increase your startup time, perhaps by several minutes. To manage the list of startup programs, click on Start / Run, then type MSCONFIG. Press Enter, then select the Startup tab. If you see items in the list you know you don't need to run at startup time, UNcheck the box(es) next to them and press Apply. Some common examples are things related to AOL, RealPlayer, Napster, instant messengers, and video managers. If you're not sure about an item, no big deal. You can turn it off, restart your PC, and see if everything seems to work. If not, you can always go back and re-enable an item in the Startup list. This helpful list or this page may help you decide what to keep or drop.

Clean Your Registry

The Windows Registry is a database that enables the operating system to track the relationships between hardware and software. Unfortunately, problems with the registry can make Windows run slower. Sometimes an "orphaned" registry entry can confuse Windows during startup and cause a delay. And in general, slimming down your registry will make Windows run faster. There are several utility programs that will clean your system registry of unnecessary and erroneous entries.

Read more about the Windows registry, and find some free programs you can use to correct registry problems in my article Do I Need a Registry Cleaner?

RAM and Virtual Memory Settings

When you run out of physical (RAM) memory, Windows will use a check of your hard disk to create virtual memory. This is a nice feature, because it allows application programs to access huge amounts of memory. The only problem with virtual memory is that it's a lot slower than real RAM. So installing extra RAM on the system board is a good idea because it's pretty cheap and easy to pop in. Find out how much your system will accommodate and install the maximum amount. Extra RAM will probably do more to boost your overall system performance than anything else! But getting back to Virtual Memory, it's wise to let Windows manage the amount, unless you are a Wizard, with a capital W. Go to Control Panel / System / Advanced, then press the Settings button under Performance. Click Advanced again, then press the Change button under Virtual Memory.

Development and Features of Windows 7

Originally, a version of Windows codenamed Blackcomb was planned as the successor to Windows XP (codename Whistler) and Windows Server 2003. Major features were planned for Blackcomb, including an emphasis on searching and querying data and an advanced storage system named WinFS to enable such scenarios. However, an interim, minor release, codenamed "Longhorn," was announced for 2003, delaying the development of Blackcomb. By the middle of 2003, however, Longhorn had acquired some of the features originally intended for Blackcomb. After three major viruses exploited flaws in Windows operating systems within a short time period in 2003, Microsoft changed its development priorities, putting some of Longhorn's major development work on hold while developing new service packs for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Development of Longhorn (Windows Vista) was also restarted, and thus delayed, in August 2004. A number of features were cut from Longhorn.

Blackcomb was renamed Vienna in early 2006 and again Windows 7 in 2007. In 2008, it was announced that Windows 7 would also be the official name of the operating system. There has been some confusion over naming the product Windows 7, while versioning it as 6.1 to indicate its similar build to Vista and increase compatibility with applications that only check major version numbers, similar to Windows 2000 and Windows XP both having 5.x version numbers.

The first external release to select Microsoft partners came in January 2008 with Milestone 1, build 6519. At PDC 2008, Microsoft demonstrated Windows 7 with its reworked taskbar. Copies of Windows 7 build 6801 were distributed at the end of the conference; however, the demonstrated taskbar was disabled in this build.

On December 27, 2008, Windows 7 Beta was leaked onto the Internet via BitTorrent. According to a performance test by ZDNet, Windows 7 Beta beat both Windows XP and Vista in several key areas; including boot and shutdown time and working with files, such as loading documents. Other areas did not beat XP; including PC Pro benchmarks for typical office activities and video editing, which remain identical to Vista and slower than XP. On January 7, 2009, the 64-bit version of the Windows 7 Beta (build 7000) was leaked onto the web, with some torrents being infected with a trojan. At CES 2009, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced the Windows 7 Beta, build 7000, had been made available for download to MSDN and TechNet subscribers in the format of an ISO image. The Beta was to be publicly released January 9, 2009, and Microsoft initially planned for the download to be made available to 2.5 million people on this date. However, access to the downloads was delayed because of high traffic. The download limit was also extended, initially until January 24, then again to February 10. People who did not complete downloading the beta had two extra days to complete the download. After February 12, unfinished downloads became unable to complete. Users could still obtain product keys from Microsoft to activate their copies of Windows 7 Beta, which expired on August 1, 2009. The release candidate, build 7100, has been available for MSDN and TechNet subscribers and Connect Program participants since April 30 and became available to the general public on May 5, 2009. It has also been leaked onto the Internet via BitTorrent. The release candidate is available in five languages and will expire on June 1, 2010, with shutdowns every two hours starting March 1, 2010. Microsoft stated that Windows 7 would be released to the general public on October 22, 2009. Microsoft released Windows 7 to MSDN and Technet subscribers on August 6, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. PDT. Microsoft announced that Windows 7, along with Windows Server 2008 R2, was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009. Windows 7 RTM is build 7600.16385, which was compiled on July 13, 2009, and was declared the final RTM build after passing all Microsoft's tests internally

Goals

Bill Gates, in an interview with Newsweek, suggested that this version of Windows would be more "user-centric". Gates later said that Windows 7 would also focus on performance improvements. Steven Sinofsky later expanded on this point, explaining in the Engineering Windows 7 blog that the company was using a variety of new tracing tools to measure the performance of many areas of the operating system on an ongoing basis, to help locate inefficient code paths and to help prevent performance regressions.

Senior Vice President Bill Veghte stated that Windows Vista users migrating to Windows 7 would not find the kind of device compatibility issues they encountered migrating from Windows XP. Speaking about Windows 7 on October 16, 2008, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed compatibility between Vista and Windows 7, indicating that Windows 7 would be a refined version of Windows Vista.

New Fitur of Windows 7

Windows 7 includes a number of new features, such as advances in touch and handwriting recognition, support for virtual hard disks, improved performance on multi-core processors, improved boot performance, DirectAccess, and kernel improvements. Windows 7 adds support for systems using multiple heterogeneous graphics cards from different vendors (Heterogeneous Multi-adapter), a new version of Windows Media Center, a Gadget for Windows Media Center, improved media features, the XPS Essentials Pack and Windows PowerShell being included, and a redesigned Calculator with multiline capabilities including Programmer and Statistics modes along with unit conversion. Many new items have been added to the Control Panel, including ClearType Text Tuner, Display Color Calibration Wizard, Gadgets, Recovery, Troubleshooting, Workspaces Center, Location and Other Sensors, Credential Manager, Biometric Devices, System Icons, and Display. Windows Security Center has been renamed to Windows Action Center (Windows Health Center and Windows Solution Center in earlier builds), which encompasses both security and maintenance of the computer. The default setting for User Account Control in Windows 7 has been criticized for allowing untrusted software to be launched with elevated privileges by exploiting a trusted application. Microsoft's Windows kernel engineer Mark Russinovich acknowledged the problem, but noted that there are other vulnerabilities that do not rely on the new setting. Windows 7 also supports Mac-like RAW image viewing through the addition of WIC-enabled image decoders, which enables raw image thumbnails, previewing and metadata display in Windows Explorer, plus full-size viewing and slideshows in Windows Photo Viewer and Window Media Center.

The taskbar has seen the biggest visual changes, where the Quick Launch toolbar has been replaced with pinning applications to the taskbar. Buttons for pinned applications are integrated with the task buttons. These buttons also enable the Jump Lists feature to allow easy access to common tasks. The revamped taskbar also allows the reordering of taskbar buttons. To the far right of the system clock is a small rectangular button that serves as the Show desktop icon. This button is part of the new feature in Windows 7 called Aero Peek. Hovering over this button makes all visible windows transparent for a quick look at the desktop. In touch-enabled displays such as touch screens, tablet PCs, etc., this button is slightly wider to accommodate being pressed with a finger. Clicking this button minimizes all windows, and clicking it a second time restores them. Additionally, there is a feature named Aero Snap, that automatically maximizes a window when it is dragged to either the top or left/right edges of the screen, similar to Linux. This also allows users to snap documents or files on either side of the screen to compare them. When a user moves windows that are maximized, the system restores their previous state automatically. This functionality is also accomplished with keyboard shortcuts. Unlike in Windows Vista, window borders and the taskbar do not turn opaque when a window is maximized with Windows Aero applied. Instead, they remain translucent.

For developers, Windows 7 includes a new networking API with support for building SOAP-based web services in native code (as opposed to .NET-based WCF web services), new features to shorten application install times, reduced UAC prompts, simplified development of installation packages, and improved globalization support through a new Extended Linguistic Services API. At WinHEC 2008 Microsoft announced that color depths of 30-bit and 48-bit would be supported in Windows 7 along with the wide color gamut scRGB (which for HDMI 1.3 can be converted and output as xvYCC). The video modes supported in Windows 7 are 16-bit sRGB, 24-bit sRGB, 30-bit sRGB, 30-bit with extended color gamut sRGB, and 48-bit scRGB. Microsoft has also implemented better support for solid-state drives, including the new TRIM command, and Windows 7 is able to identify a solid-state drive uniquely. Microsoft is planning to support USB 3.0 in a subsequent patch, support not being included in the initial release due to delays in the finalization of the standard.

Internet Spades, Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers, which were removed from Windows Vista, were restored in Windows 7. Windows 7 includes Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Media Player 12.

Users are also able to disable many more Windows components than was possible in Windows Vista. New additions to this list of components include Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Windows Search, and the Windows Gadget Platform. Windows 7 includes 13 additional sound schemes, titled Afternoon, Calligraphy, Characters, Cityscape, Delta, Festival, Garden, Heritage, Landscape, Quirky, Raga, Savanna, and Sonata. A new version of Microsoft Virtual PC, newly renamed as Windows Virtual PC was made available for Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions. It allows multiple Windows environments, including Windows XP Mode, to run on the same machine. Windows XP Mode runs Windows XP in a virtual machine and redirects displayed applications running in Windows XP to the Windows 7 desktop. Furthermore, Windows 7 supports the mounting of a virtual hard disk (VHD) as a normal data storage, and the bootloader delivered with Windows 7 can boot the Windows system from a VHD, only in the Professional and Ultimate editions however. The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) of Windows 7 is also enhanced to support real-time multimedia application including video playback and 3D games, thus allowing use of DirectX 10 in remote desktop environments.[61] The three application limit, previously present in the Windows Vista Starter Edition, has been removed from Windows 7.

Windows XP Registry Repair Programs - The Easy Way

With Windows 7 still not being widely used and Windows Vista having been the worst disappointment of the Windows operating systems family, Windows XP is the most used Windows operating system at the moment. Its familiarity, ease of use, and comparatively low requirements has kept it the favorite of most PC users.

Of course, it's far from perfect (as any Mac user would tell you). One of the biggest problems of XP, and with any Windows operating system for that matter is that after some time, it tends to make computers freeze at random times.

The first time that it happens can be quite frustrating, specially if you have worked for hours or advanced a lot in a video game and you hadn't saved your progress. Even so, you first think it was an isolated incident. Then, your computer becomes slower and slower and freezing incidents happen with increasing frequency.

What happens is that your Windows registry is damaged, corrupted, or just out of normal configuration. The Windows XP registry is a database of information on how the processes of Windows should work. It also contains your computer's basic operating settings.

Internet browsing and program installation tend to change your Windows XP registry to adapt it to each site or program. After a while, the settings of the Windows registry have changed so much that the computer receives contradicting or erroneous instructions, which lead to slowing down and freezing.

In those cases, aside from formatting your computer and installing every program again, you have to make a Windows XP registry repair. Or rather have someone make a Windows registry repair for you.

Really, if you don't know how to make a Windows XP registry repair, then leave those files alone. You won't even know how to start and you'll end up creating more problems, and even permanently freezing your computer.

I said that you should have someone make the Windows XP registry for you. But there is another, cheaper option. Just get one of those programs on the Internet that makes Windows registry repairs automatically. It'll save you tons of time and trouble, and it won't be nearly as expensive as taking your computer to a repair shop.

If you still insist on making a Windows XP registry repair manually, at least back up all your information so that you don't lose it if something goes wrong.
