SYSTEM RESTORE AND UNEXPECTED UNINSTALLATION

By
Sometimes a System Restore operation has the unintended consequence of messing up a program you recently installed.  The net effect is that a program may appear to be installed but is missing vital files that were “unhooked” by the System Restore operation. Because you probably ran System Restore to recover from a disaster, I don’t recommend undoing the System Restore.   Instead, what you need to do is reinstall the program that’s screwing up. Doing so reconnects the items that System Restore disconnected.

DISK DRIVE SHOPPING

The number-one thing I look for in a new hard drive is capacity. You don’t want to undercut storage, especially before you’ve stored anything on the drive.

For a second internal hard drive, I recommend a capacity at least that of the original hard drive. Otherwise, get as much storage as you can afford. Keep in mind that the true cost is measured by dollars-per-gigabyte. 

For example, a 2,000GB (2TB) drive that costs $100 is a better value than a 1,000GB (1TB) drive that cost $70. The first drive is 5 cents per GB, the second is 7 cents per GB.

Other technical details hover around a hard drive purchase like moons around Jupiter: drive speed (relative to HDDs only), buffers and

caches, and transfer times. And keep in mind that you want an internal drive, which might also be called a “loose” drive.

Finally, drives don’t come with cables. If you’re adding a new drive, ensure that it comes with a SATA cable. If not, buy one.

POWERFUL TERMS

By
Like most technology, PC power management is rife with specific terms and names for its modes of operation. Here’s the shortlist: hibernation: In this mode, the computer’s current state is saved and the PC turns itself off. When you turn on the system again, the saved state is restored and you can continue working. hybrid sleep: A cross between hibernation and sleep, this mode saves data for a fast recovery but doesn’t quite turn off the computer. This mode is enabled by default in Windows 10. sleep mode: In sleep mode, the computer slows down to save energy. Certain peripherals are disabled and the processor enters a low- power mode, but the entire system isn’t shutdown. suspend: This is another name for hibernate.

PRINTING WINDOWS

By
The Print Screen (or PrtSc) key on the PC’s keyboard once actually printed the text on the screen. Called a screen dump, after you pressed that Print Screen key, every character on the screen spewed out of the printer, like a snapshot. This feature has been lost since the PC went graphical in the early 1990s. Today, the Print Screen key still functions, though it doesn’t deal directly with a printer. When you press the key, a snapshot of the desktop is taken. The graphical image is stored in the Windows clipboard, and you can paste it into any document that accepts graphics.  The Alt+Print Screen keyboard shortcut works similarly, but takes a snapshot of only the current window. If you really want to print the screen, you can press the Print Screen key, paste the image into a graphics program, such as Paint, and then print the image from that program.
