Disable Touchpad automatically while typing text


When we are typing in a Laptop, most of the time fingers may touch the touch pad. Therefore, the cursor position is moved to another location. Again, we have to move the cursor back to the correct position for typing. So, this is annoying thing and it also affects to the typing speed. Nevertheless, you can disable the touch pad by pressing Fn-key with another key (that vary with the brand of Laptop). On the other hand, disabling the touch pad and again enabling it is somewhat annoying. Hence, I have found smart free utility called TouchFreeze that is working with Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista and 7. If you install this software on your Laptop, it automatically disables the touch pad while typing text. Here, you need to do is only install the application that will display on the Taskbar.

Convert Your RAM Into Graphic Card






This tutorial should help you get started with using the basic features in 3D Analyze. Most games will use roughly the same settings in order for it to run, but some games will require specialized settings. This tutorial will not cover that, but if you come across a game such as this you can search the forums for help or experiment with settings yourself to try and get the game to run.

So, how to use 3D Analyze:

1. Download 3D Analyze 2.36, you can get it from the 'Downloads' page.
2. Extract 3D Analyze to a folder, and run 3D Analyze.exe.
3. Once it has opened click on 'SELECT', and browse for the .exe file for the game you want to run.
4. You will usually want to tick all of the options under 'Hardware Limits'. Some games only need 'emulate HW TnL caps', so
you might need to experiment around.
5. Try running the game by clicking on 'RUN'. If it doesn't work, then there are a million things to try. I'll only list a few.
6. Some games will also need you to check 'force SW TnL' under 'Performance'. Not all games need it though, since 'force SW
TnL' roughly equates to 'emulate HW TnL'.
7. Specific games have built-in solutions, so if you're playing one of the games listed under 'Game/Demo Fixes', check the game
you're playing.
8. Some games will only recognize certain 3D card brands and models. If so, enter the values of the given cards in the 'VendorID'
and 'DeviceID' section. Only 4 types/models can be emulated though, so experiment around with the 4 values given.
9. If it still doesn't work, then check and search the forums. Someone might have discovered the settings you need.
10. If, and only if there are no previously discovered settings, post a new message asking for help.

You can download 3DAnalyzer from here Download
you can Virtually emulate NVIDIA GeForce TI 4600,NVIDIA GeForce FX 4900 ULTRA,ATi Radeon 8500, ATi Radeon 9800 PRO

How to enable Task manager,Folder Options and Registry editor in windows






In Some computers, when the user clicks Alt+ctrl+del, it does not popup the task manager. It happens mostly after attacking a malware. Also when user access into the registry editor by typing start > run > then type "regedit" without having quotes, it says Regitry Editor has been Disable by Administrator. This is also due to a malware attack. Therefore, in such a situation you can use this tricks for solving them. Sometimes your computer may not display Hidden Files and Folders due to same problem.
In windows xp , open windows explorer by clicking on My Computer
select tools > Folder options > view

In windows 7 & vista
open windows explorer by clicking on My Computer
click organise " select folder and search options"

If your PC does not display Hidden Folders(in folder options) , you can run this application to solve that problem




Then click on Repair Button

Also there are some other methods for doing that...
There is a registry hack to enable or disable Windows NT TaskManager. The same registry hack applies to Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Name: DisableTaskMgr
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1=Enablethis key, that is DISABLE TaskManager
Value: 0=Disablethis key, that is Don't Disable, Enable TaskManager
As part of the enhanced management available in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, rather than risking a registry change, as an administrator you can enable or disable Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro's TaskManager using Group Policy Editor. This can be applied to the local policy. Note: if you are trying to override your organizations group policy, you can't. As soon as you re-authenticate to the domain, the domain or OU Group Policy will rewrite the registry setting. But if the TaskManager was accidently disabled or you need to control this item for a set of standalone boxes this is for you.
