Revive you Personal Computer

How many of you often suffer from the problem of viruses in your system? I think most of you do in fact .And at that time you might turn up to option no. B-:Re-install your operating system (window XP/WINDOW7 etc.) obviously option no:-A is scanning your system with your antivirus. However some viruses sometimes corrupt the necessary system files which your antivirus delete at the time of scanning and later you find window access denied pop up and other notifications which started itching your mind and then finally you turn again to option no. B.

Well after re-installing your operating system which you can easily do with a installation CD of XP or Windows 7 (thanks to the easy installation procedure), the most important thing you want to do is to revive your system with its drivers so that you can enjoy the video ,audio, internet on your system once again. If you have a CD/DVD of driver offered to you by the shop-owner from where you bought your system. In case if you don't have a CD/DVD, you might be getting in a lot of trouble

Because now you have to find first a system having a working internet connection and then you have to download each and every driver. What a painstaking task!!!

Well I was stuck in a similar situation recently where I have to fix a virus affected system. I started the antivirus scan, antivirus deleted corrupted system files, system (XP) got corrupt and then I re-installed the system. Obviously I formatted the whole hard-disk to make the job neat and clean. That's it. I thought my job were over. Only then owner of that system came and

Told me –“dude play some audio and video “

 And then I asked him- “dude give me driver CD”

 He said “it was in the system, in the other drives”.

And then I was stunned, what should I do now. All of the contents of HDD were like go-went-gone. After one –two hours of painstaking research only I came across about this brilliant software “Driver- reviver “. This software is a one relaxing pit stop in fixing any system. Install it, connect your system to internet (obviously by plug and play internet cards as you don't have any driver so no LAN connectivity) and leave it. This software will automatically scan your system, download the driver and install it. You don't have to download any driver from any site specifically.

Awesome it is. Mind It...I used it...and I loved it...and my client too was loving his revived system once again.

Working with the Vista Index

The new search capabilities in Windows Vista are certainly a significant step up from those in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. For once, you can actually find what you're looking for in a reasonable amount of time. By default, however, the new Vista search feature only indexes the partition where the operating system is installed, which is usually the C: drive. That's fine, unless you have a second partition or second hard drive you use to store your data files. In that case, you have to manually add the second hard drive to the search index. Luckily, it's only a two step process!



Step 1: Turn On the Search Indexing for the Second Hard Drive/Partition




Double click on your My Computer icon, right click on the drive and choose Properties. Then check the box that says "Index this drive for faster searching." Finally, click OK.


For some strange reason, that doesn't actually add the drive to the index, so you have to perform one more step.



Step 2: Add the Drive to the Indexing Options




Go to Start, Control Panel and click on Indexing Options. In the dialogue box, you'll see a list of current locations that are indexed by the Indexing service. Click on the Modify button and check off the second partition or hard drive you want indexed (for example, D:, E:, etc).



If you don't see the drive you're looking for, make sure you press the "Show all locations" button at the bottom of the window. You should then see all of the possible choices:



That's it! Windows Vista will then begin indexing the new location and results from the extra drives will appear in your searches. Now, you can also add network drives to the Vista search index, as long as the drive is a mapped drive. Note that turning on the indexing in Vista is a great way to find files quickly and I would suggest keeping it on all the time. However, you may want to turn it off if your computer seems to be running slow.



Either way, this is an easy way to make your Vista searching even easier!
