Let Computer Repair System Errors by Itself

For many Windows XP users, when the operating system crashes or some inexplicable errors occur, generally they repair the system by Ghost or reinstalling operating system. However, these methods have shortcomings. Reinstalling system, the original system settings and software will be gone and have to be installed again, very troublesome. In fact, each system error can be repaired by a certain method. The system repair function of Windows XP is very powerful, with which you can fix system errors and update system files. What’s more, the original system settings and installed programs will not change. Let’s start with system booting failure.
When Windows does not boot in Safe Mode or other startup options, you can try the following two methods.
A.  Use “Last Known Good Configuration”
In the start menu of Windows XP, you can select “Last Known Good Configuration” to restore the registry.
1)      When restarting the computer, press “F8” until the Windows Advanced Boot Options Menu appears.
2)      Select “Last Known Good Configuration”, and press “Enter”
When the computer starts in “Last Known Good Configuration”, Windows only restores the registry “HKLMSystemCurrentControlSet”. Any changes made to other registries will remain and will not be restored.
B. Use Recovery Console
When the computer cannot start, you can also run the Recovery Console from Windows XP installation CD to repair the error.
1)      Insert the installation CD and restart the computer from CD-ROM.
2)      Press “R” to select the repair option.
3)      When the prompt appears, input the local Administrator account and password. In most cases, you need the inbuilt account and password to use Recovery Console. The account and password is blank by default.
4)      In the system prompt, input “Fixboot” command and press “Enter”. Then the system will write in system partition a new partition boot sector, thus to repair the system error.
5)      Input “Exit” command and press “Enter” to exit the Recovery Console. Restart the computer.

Tips on How to Secure Computer in Simple Ways (4)

As we mentioned in previous articles, to keep your computer safe, you do not need to be a computer expert. We have shared several smart ways including “set Windows Security Center as a Starting Point on Your Computer”, “Take Windows Defender as a Diagnostic Tool on PC” and “Turn On Two-Way Firewall Protection”, “Deactivate the Startup Menu on Your Computer”, “Forbid Unwanted Guests to Your Computer”, and “Audit Attackers to Your PC”, “Use Your Internet Explorer Settings” and “Use OpenDNS”, today we will introduce another 2 simple ways to keep your computer secure and safe.

Live with User Account Control
The User Account Control (aka UAC) is considered as a area where people may want to see the Windows Security Center turn red. The User Account Control is specially designed to prevent rogue remote software from being installed automatically, and it also has a trend to thwart legitimate software installations by interrupting the process several times with useless messages.
The User Account Control is used to warn you of potential danger on your computer somehow. Therefore please take care to decide to disable the User Account Control. We recommend a fre utility named TweakUAC to turn UAC on or off as well as an intermediate “quite” mode to keep the User Account Control on but suppress administration elevation prompts. When the TweakUAC is in quite mode, the User Account Control will seem to be off to those running as administrator accounts, but the people with standard user accounts will still be prompted.
Check Your Work on PC
There is also another simple way to secure your computer. To keep tabs on your system’s security with the System Health Report, you can take input from the Performance and Reliability Monitor and turn it into an information-packed report that can display potential security problems.
How to:
  1. A. Go to Start and open Control Panel
  2. Click System item
  3. Click Performance near the bottom of the Tasks list
  4. Click Advanced tools near the top of the resulting Tasks list
  5. Press Generate a system health report which is the last item on the resulting list.
The System Health Report will tell you whether your antivirus protection is installed and declare whether the User Account Control is turned on by listing any missing drivers that may cause error codes. It is recommend to do this system health report monthly to make sure your computer is running good.
