System Restore for Windows WP

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Windows XP has a feature called System Restore that allows you to restore your computer to a working state in the event of a problem. Your computer is restored without losing personal files or data like word documents, spreadsheets, music, images, etc. This feature is implemented by default and runs in the background making backups after certain events occur on your computer. System Restore functions are only available to an administrator of the computer. System Restore protects your computer by creating backups of vital system configurations and files. These backups are known as restore points. These restore points are created before certain events take place in order to give you a recourse in case something bad happens during that event.

Installing a Router

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

If you are planning on purchasing a router for your wired or wireless network you will need to know how to install it. Before you begin locate the installation poster, CD, and any other instructions there might be. Place the CD in your computer but do not turn on or connect the router yet. The CD should provide you with simple instructions. Connect the router to your modem with the appropriate cables and power it on at the appropriate step of the instructions. The cable from the computer (usually a color) goes into your networking jack in the back of your computer and the other (grey/white) goes into the router. The installation poster should provide you with diagrams if you need extra help. Follow any additional steps of installation and set up your security. Take note of any passwords you will need. Finally, remove the CD and restart your computer if instructed. Of course, if you need any extra help ACTS! is always available for you. Good Luck!
