How to Increase Laptop Volume?
The Sound in My laptop is too Low. This really creates a problem for me, as I can’t Listen to my latest Mp3 songs Increasing the MP3 player's volume hasn't really helped. This is a very common issue with mp3 files; some sound too low, some are too loud. Here are some ways to increase the sound output of an mp3 file i.e to make them louder.Using a Software - MP3Gain
MP3Gain is a free software to adjust the sound of mp3 files. We'll use it to increase the volume of low sounding mp3 files.
- Download and Install MP3Gain. [ Click Here to Download ]
- Start the Application.
- Use the 'Add Files' Button to add the mp3 files for which you wish to up the volume.
- Set the volume you want to apply in the 'Target Volume' Box.
- Click 'Track Analysis'. This displays the current volume of the file.
- Hit 'Track Gain' button to change the volume of the mp3 file to what is specified in step 4.
If you are looking for an easier way to increase the volume, head over to Vloud. It's free and there is not need to install anything. Vloud has just four options - light, loud, louder, loudest. Select the one your prefer and upload the file. The file can be downloaded after the changes are applied. Apart from mp3, Vloud also supports wav files. One caveat though; only files upto 10 MB can be uploaded. Enjoy!

Check the Temperature inside your PC or Laptop - Monitor CPU Heat
One of the best ways to monitor is to install temperature reading software that might help you actually know if the problem is causing by overheating. Core Temp is a tiny application which is low on resources and is surprisingly accurate. Intel and AMD’s new technology known as DTS(Digital Temperature Signal) let these applications help monitor the temperature accurately.
It is a tiny but extremely powerful and accurate program which tells you the temperature of each core simultaneously and can be easily installed on both Windows Vista and Windows XP.
The best thing about this tool is that it displays the temperature of each core in the tray bar which doesn’t require you to click anywhere in the application itself to look at the current temperature.
You can find out more at AMD’s or Intel’s website about the optimal temperatures of the processors installed on your computer so that you can compare them with your own individual core temperatures easily and if you use over-clocked cpu then this utility should be a top priority!
Another great quality of this application is that it has low footprints on the resources and you can keep it running even if you are doing cpu intensive work. How to Upgrade or Change a Laptop's RAM ?
Upgrading system’s memory is very easy and is also very cost-effective. But due to compatibility concerns, warranty issues, lack of good knowledge many computer owners move back in doing it. Computer memory upgrade only seems complicated but is not. Not many realize that if they put in a little more efforts in knowing their computer and spending some quality time understanding it, their computers will really work faster and better.
Hence you can upgrade your notebook memory in no time provided that you will handle it in a delicate manner and that you have the correct RAM.
There a numerous RAM available in the market and it is important for you to pick the perfect one for your PC. While you install it you should be careful because the memory is a very fragile thing. With the help of the memory panel that is near the bottom of the laptop, you can access the memory slot. Once the panel is opened, you will see the memory used by your system.
You can either change the RAM or if there is space available you can just add additional memory
into the space present and later putting clips for holding it. After adding or replacing it, you will have it switch on the system to check out the amount of memory the system has after the changes are made. If you never tried this before you will be surprised to know that all these things will take not more than five minutes but all this is possible if your replacing or adding the correct RAM.
When it comes to gaming laptops, RAM is one of the most crucial things. This is because if you have great amount of memory or RAM, the performance level in the games also increases, thus entertaining you more and allowing you to play several other 3D games as well. The different types of RAM available are DDR3 SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, SDRAM, EDO DRAM, FPM DRAM etc.
You should bear one thing in mind that, a RAM with good speed wont help you, instead it is the amount of memory that will help your system to work in a better and splendid manner. But one more thing to be borne is that you cant just increases the memory as much as you want. There is a limit for every system and should go according to it then only you will not waste by spending lots for the memory that the system cant take in. for a sharp success in upgrading the RAM these few tips will help you to deal the situation in a correct way and will help your system to perform in more efficient manner.

A friend of mine at college was asking me How to connect two computers in Windows XP? .So I thought of writing this post. Here are the steps to connect two computers in Windows XP. This will let you share files and folders, printers, play network games, etc...See The Picture Below where I have connected My friend's Laptop with Mine.
Steps
Tips :
Steps
- Connect the two computers together either with a Crossover cable or a Hub/Switch to the ethernet card in your computer.
- Set the IP address on both computers. Goto Start > Control Panel > Network Connections (choose switch to classic view if you cannot see network connections)
- Look for your Local Area Connection ethernet adapter, right-click and choose properties.
- Select Internet Protocol TCP/IP and choose properties.
- Setup the IP as 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask of 255.255.255. 0 on the first computer and 192.168.1.2 on the second with the same subnet mask.
- Choose OK then OK/close again.
Tips :
- To share your files, right click on any folder and choose Sharing to make them shared.
- You can also do this with your printers to be able to print from one computer while the printer is connected to the other.
- A Crossover cable. This a Cat5 Ethernet Cable that the wires have been switched around to allow two computer only to talk to each other or you can purchase a switch/hub with two Standard "Straight-Through" Ethernet Cables.
- Check to see if your computer has an Ethernet Adapter in the back of the computer. Most new computers have this. You can tell by the documentation from the computer or by looking at the back of the computer. It looks like a phone jack, but larger.
My PC/Laptop/Computer Hangs / Freezes Up - What to Do ?
10 things you should do when your Pc/Laptop/Computer Freezes or Hangs Up .
You are in the middle of doing your work, suddenly you realized your computer hanged up. But the problem is, you have not saved your work! Don’t panic! There is a solution for that! And you can surely save your file! Here’s how:
1. Click on “ctrl-alt-delete” keys. The windows task manager will then open, click on all programs that you don’t need and end the task. You will see that all programs on your taskbar will close one by one. If this will resolve the issue! – then save! (tip# 1: if you’re working on an MS Office application, it will automatically save your file in case the programs suddenly shut down — tip# 2: always save your file at least every 2 minutes by just simply clicking on the “diskette icon”— its just one click!)
2. If it did not resolve the issue, are there some users logged on that computer? If so, go to switch user (for XP) and log off that user, go back to your log on screen and log on again.
The reason the computer hang up is because if there are many open programs and applications, these retains in the memory, if it is too much for the memory to handle, it freezes! Another reason too the computer hang up is because if you are connected to the internet via dial up, and you are running too many applications and opening many websites. So I suggest, if you are multimedia user or a heavy internet user, then you are better off with a higher memory, at least 512Mb of memory.
There are simple ways to avoid computer to freeze or hang up:
3. Clean your history at least once a week >tools>internet options>clear history. I normally set my history to “0”, meaning, when I restart my computer, it doesn’t save history pages that I have visited
4. Delete all internet temporary files >tools>internet options>delete files (do the “offline” content too!)
5. Delete cookies (some do not do this, but I do delete cookies at least once a week!) >tools>internet options>delete cookies
6. Remove unnecessary programs that you no longer use, they are just occupying space and memory! >control panel>add/remove programs
7. Do defragmentation at least once a week >point the mouse to “start” button, then right click “explore”>right click the mouse pointing to drive C (which is usually the main system logical drive) >properties>tools>defragment now
8. You can also check the logical drive’s volume for errors >point the mouse to “start” button, then right click “explore”>right click the mouse pointing to drive C (I repeat, is usually the main system logical drive) >properties>tools>check now
9. It is better to have only one user being logged on. Even if there are many users, make sure the user logs off after using the computer, rather than keeping it logged on and you do the switching of users. Switching users is good as long as you don’t keep all users logged on—I think that is more logical
10. Always shut down properly the computer (do NOT use the power button when turning it off!
