Understanding Common Computer Errors
by admin on May.20, 2009, under Tips
More often than not, a computer error will show up when it is least expected – causing the whole system to shut down unexpectedly and in the worst case scenario, the error can accidentally corrupt all data stored in the computer. Note that it is almost impossible to avoid a computer error, but it is upon a computer owner to understand the meaning of the errors, so that when they pop up, they can be corrected or better still, so that their occurrence can be minimized.
Typically, a computer operates by a series of smooth running commands, but when there is a conflict between the commands, or when a command requests for an unavailable information or process, it results in an error. A very good example is using software that is not compatible with your system. When software is released in the market, they are accompanied by a list of requirements that each computer system must meet in order to have the software function properly. To avoid software related errors, always check the compatibility of your system.
Lack of enough memory on your computer system will also create errors – this justifies the reason why each software program has to have a minimum memory requirement. This is to say that if a particular program requires 15MB of memory to run properly, if it manages to run in the first place in a computer that has 5MB of memory, it ought to generate an error. The same applies for monitor resolution and color depth, and disk space. Basically, an error will occur if a program is trying to access a feature or hardware that is unavailable.
Making Work Easier With Batch Files

MS-DOS was a command based an operating system in the early 80s. This is to say that for it to respond, the user had to prompt it by typing a command at a certain C:> point For instance, to be able to load a Microsoft editing program, you would have to type the location of the drive, the directory that has the program and the name of the program. Thus, if the directory location name is “Process”, you would type “C:>processedit.com”. It seems like a simple command, but imagine having a program in many folders and sub folders.
In light to this, batch files came into being. These are little, text-based documents that have a cluster of these commands. When you implement, the batch files will process each command, without you typing each of the commands. The introduction of the mouse when Windows was invented somehow eradicated the need to type commands. However, batch files haven’t lost their importance and popularity to date.
Using Vista or windows XP is very easy, but batch files will make the work even easier. This is because it will save you a lot of time by enabling you to start several programs and execute different tasks by a single button click. Batch files require no huge programming knowledge; neither do they have to be coded and encrypted using an expensive compiler. They are simple text files that can be built using Windows’ notepad. You only need to know the location of the application that you want.
For instance, if you have to open MS word, Yahoo web browser and a windows calculator daily, you can come up with a batch file for them. Start by loading up a notepad and enter the following:
