TO choice operating room systems(OS) should be approached responsibly, since it largely depends on how convenient it will be to work on a computer. A properly selected OS will allow you to realize the full potential of your computer and use all its resources. Also, the choice of the operating system depends on what programs you can install on your computer.
You will need
- A computer
Instructions
It is worth making the choice of an operating system based on the goals of the user and the configuration of the PC. Today - Windows XP and Windows 7. There is also Windows Vista, but it has not been able to supplant Windows XP. Moreover, Windows 7 is, in fact, a modified Vista.
First of all, abstract from your computer. If you have a medium-sized computer with little RAM, Windows XP is worth looking at. This operating system is not so demanding on hardware resources compared to Windows 7. If you have less than 2 gigabytes of RAM, Windows XP should be preferred. It is on such an operating system that you can work comfortably.
Also, if you play video games, keep in mind that games will run significantly better on Windows XP with an average PC power, and on Windows 7 they may or may not start at all. Of course, Windows 7 implements advanced technologies in video games, such as DirectX 11, but you can really feel them only on a powerful PC with the latest that support this technology.
If you have at least two gigabytes of RAM and at least an average dual-core processor, the best option would be to install Windows 7. It is the newest operating system that supports all the latest technologies and has a beautiful interface. Despite the fact that Windows XP is still a popular and demanded operating system, the future belongs to Windows 7. All modern programs are written specifically for this operating system. In addition, owners of new video cards can fully enjoy high-quality graphics in video games.
Helpful advice
There are different variations of Windows 7. For home use, Home Premium is a good option.
If you have a laptop, please note that the battery life on Windows 7 may be shorter than on Windows XP.
It happens that one operating system is not enough for normal operation. In this case, as a rule, several operating systems are installed. This is useful when you need to work with old programs that will be problematic to run on newer operating systems. After the second OS is installed, the question arises, how to choose the one you need?
You will need
- A computer with two operating systems.
Instructions
After you have installed the second operating room the system, turn on your computer. During system boot, a dialog box should appear in which there will be a list of operating systems that are installed on the computer's hard drive.
Using the arrows on your keyboard, select the operating system that you need at the moment and press Enter. After that, the OS you have chosen will boot in normal mode.
If the dialog box in which you could select the operating system did not appear, but simply booted one of the OS, you need to enter some settings. To do this, right-click on the "My Computer" icon and select "Properties" in the context menu. In the next window, click on "Advanced system settings".
Then, in the "Advanced" tab, find the section called "Startup and Recovery" and select "Options" in it. Find the item "Display a list of operating systems" and check it. Then click OK. In the next window, also click OK.
Reboot your computer. Now the dialog box where you can select the operating system will appear exactly.
If you have two hard drives installed, and each has an OS installed, the operating system selection window may not appear. In this case, you can select the OS by selecting the hard disk in which the required operating system is installed.
Turn on the computer and immediately after that press the Del key several times. This will take you to the BIOS of your computer. Now use the arrows on your keyboard to select the boot device priority section. In this section, on the number "1" put the hard disk with the operating system you need at the moment. Save the settings. The computer will reboot and start from the hard drive of your choice with the desired OS.
You may need to edit the startup settings in cases where you start to notice that the computer starts to boot longer than usual, and you cannot determine the exact reason. One of the surest ways to solve such problems is to remove unnecessary programs from startup.
Instructions
The simplest and most intuitive way to clear startup parameters is to use specialized programs. However, there are a lot of such programs at the moment and it is not possible to disassemble them all. But in the standard Windows tools there is an equally functional tool.
To call the program for editing system settings (which also includes and), call the "Start" menu, in which you should select the "Run" item. You can also use the key combination Win + R, which will immediately bring up a window for entering system commands.
Type a command such as “msconfig” and click “Ok” or Enter. As a result, the system settings window will open in front of you (see the figure).
Go to the Startup tab. In the list presented, pay attention to the "Startup item". Items marked with check marks mean that this program automatically when your operating system starts up and, accordingly, consumes certain system resources.
Do not rush to delete everything, because some programs support the normal functioning of the hardware and applications installed on your system. Uncheck only those items in which you are absolutely sure that you definitely do not need these executable files.
Pay attention to the buttons "Enable all" and "Disable all". They may be required in cases where it is necessary to select or deselect a large number of points, and manually it would take too much time.
Click the "OK" button after you have made the necessary settings for the startup list. Next, you will be prompted to reboot the system immediately, or do it later. Choose the option you want according to your preference.

When loading any operating system of the Windows family, you will be prompted to click the "Start" button - the message "Start by pressing this button" will appear on the desktop. You can use the Run command to launch a specific application or file if you do not know its location.
You will need
- Managing the Execute command.
Instructions
The "Run" command has only one function - calling or launching an application. By default, this command is located on the right side of the open Start menu. If you have not seen the coveted inscription in this menu, therefore, this command is disabled in the settings. To go to the settings of the "Start" button, just right-click on it and select the "Properties" item in the context menu.
In the window that opens, go to the "Start menu" tab and click the "Configure" button. Depending on the operating system you have chosen, the menu setting can be carried out without clicking on the "Configure" button. Find the "Run menu" item in the list and check the box next to this value. To save the changes made to the system settings, press the "OK" button twice.
Now open the "Start" menu again, the "Run" command will be displayed at the very bottom line. Click on this item. In the window that opens, enter command msconfig and press Enter. If the system settings window appears in front of you, everything is done correctly.
It is worth noting that the Run command is less popular in Windows Vista and Windows Seven than in older versions. How can this be explained? In the latest versions, developers from Microsoft have proposed an innovation - the smart search bar.
The gist of the search bar is this: you enter command or the name of the application installed on the system, and the search results display options from which you can select the one that suits you best. For example, if you enter the word "kerchief", the system will give you results for your query, with your favorite game as the first line in the search results.
If for some reason the Run command is not displayed in the Start menu and it cannot be enabled in the menu settings, do not be discouraged, because this is not the only way to display this command. As far as you know, the Windows operating system allows you to do one action in different ways. Thus, command Run can be started with the Win (window image) + R keyboard shortcut.
The Internet provides everyone with a great opportunity to search and copy the files they want to the hard drive of their computer. But what if, while downloading the file you need (which you were also looking for for a long time), for some reason, the download was interrupted? How to renew it?
You will need
- Computer, internet, browser, download manager (optional), torrent client (optional).
Instructions
When you download a file from the Internet and for various reasons download the file is interrupted (especially if the file was large), interrupting the download of the file does not add to the mood. If the file is not very large, then you can use standard browser tools to download it again. Unfortunately, the standard ones do not support the function of downloading the file, they can only start the download again. To resume the download in the browser, open the “Downloads” item in the browser menu, select the file you need from the list and click “Resume” or “Retry”. The download will start from the very beginning. However, some modern browsers support the function of downloading the file, saving the incomplete file in their cache memory.
If you often download files from the Internet or your provider often has a connection to the global network, then it is better for you to use the download manager. Download manager is a program for downloading files from the Internet (and from the local network), with advanced functionality. In it you can “download” files, limit download speed, queue downloads, significantly increase the download speed of files, splitting downloads into several streams. At the moment, there are a large number of free such programs. These are, for example, Download Master, ReGet and many others.
To restore download file in the download managers, select the downloaded file in the manager menu, right-click on it, in the context menu that appears, click the "resume download" option. If it gives out dynamic links for downloading (like DepositFile, etc.), then go to the same address as you started the download, wait until the file hosting service gives you a link to download file. Copy the link to your clipboard. Next, open the interrupted download in the download manager. In the Properties menu, paste the copied link. The download will start from the point where it was interrupted.
Also, in order to avoid unexpected download interruptions, you can use torrent clients. You can download and install them on any torrent tracker. The only disadvantage of this method is that it is possible to download files only from trackers. But thanks to the popularity of this method of downloading on torrent trackers, you can find any file. To resume the download in the torrent client, you just need to launch it. If, for some reason, you yourself stopped downloading the file in the torrent client, then to resume downloading, select the stopped file and click "Continue"

Helpful advice
When downloading files using a torrent client, the download speed of the file depends on the number of users uploading it. Therefore, choose trackers with a large number of users.
Each file has its own format, which can be opened with the appropriate application. So, for example, files with the .doc extension are opened in Microsoft Office Word, .obj - MilkShape 3D or 3ds Max. In order for the program to read the required file, it must, firstly, be installed on the computer, and secondly, it must be running. Summon program can be done in different ways.
Instructions
When you install an application on your computer, the files required for it to work correctly are saved in a specific directory. Through "My Computer" go to the desired local drive and open the folder with the name of the program you want to run. Most programs have their own icon, which is different from the system icons. If the appropriate settings are installed on the computer, you will see that the startup files have the extension .exe. Click on the launch icon with the left mouse button (or right-click and select the "Open" command from the drop-down menu) and wait for the application to load.
The program can also be called from the "Desktop" if a shortcut for the launch file has been created on it. Some programs create it automatically during installation. If this is not your case, you can create a shortcut yourself. Go to the directory with the installed program, right-click on the launch file. From the drop-down menu, select the "Send" command, in the submenu, select the "Desktop (create shortcut)" item by clicking on it with the left mouse button. After the program icon appears on the "Desktop", you do not have to look for the startup file in the folders every time.
If you have to use the program very often, and there is no space on the "Desktop" for an extra shortcut, the application can be called from the quick launch panel in one click of the mouse. The Quick Launch is located on the Taskbar to the right of the Start button. To place the program launch file on the Quick Launch, go to the application folder, position the cursor over the launch file icon. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the icon on the Taskbar to the Quick Launch area. The same can be done with the program shortcut on the "Desktop" - drag it to the panel, after that you can delete the shortcut from the "Desktop".
A number of programs create an entry about themselves in the Start menu. Typically, the Start menu contains icons for the startup file (always), uninstallation, and program settings (may not be present). Click on the "Start" button with the left mouse button or on the key with the Windows flag on the keyboard. If the "Start" menu is not fully displayed, select "All programs", in the menu that opens, select the line with the name of the program you need, in the submenu, left-click on its launch icon.

note
If the program launch file is placed in the Startup folder, the application will be launched automatically every time the operating system boots.
When downloading data from the Internet, various failures often occur that interrupt the entire process. In this case, the next attempt to restore the boot file may not work because the browser has no special features.
Instructions
For example, a file was downloaded on your computer through a browser. When the connection to the Internet was broken, it automatically stopped loading. To restore loading, you need to click the "Continue loading". Every browser has this feature, so there shouldn't be any special problems. However, as practice shows, browsers often crash.
In this case, further download file perhaps only anew. And if the traffic is limited, and almost the entire file has already been downloaded, or the volume is large enough to re-download the data. To do this, you need to do some simple actions. Copy the file you downloaded. If you do not know where, it is located, in the browser in "" right-click on the file and select "Open folder" or "Location file».
Then copy it into a separate category, but do not delete the original copy either. Go to your browser and right-click on the file. Select the item "Continue loading". Once the file starts downloading again, click Pause. Delete the file that is in the original folder and move the copied copy there. Then in the browser click "Continue".
from the place where she stopped when the connection was cut. This way, you won't waste time and traffic. In order for files to continue downloading without any problems or to “pause” for a long time when the connection is broken, use special software. An example of such a utility is Download Master. You can find it on the Internet. Install on your computer and use it as a multifunctional download manager.The "Run" command in the Windows operating system calls the program launch dialog on the screen, which allows you to open both system components and application programs. In contrast to double-clicking on the executable file in the file manager window, this method of launching has several advantages. For example, you can not search for a file of a system program, but specify only its name, you can specify additional startup keys, etc.

There are many sites on the Internet with useful information that can be downloaded to your computer for free for review and non-commercial use. But when downloading, sometimes unexpected technical problems arise, and you need to know how to resume the interrupted loading.
Instructions
Sometimes it can be difficult to wait for the release of a new album of your favorite band or an anticipated film with a great cast. And when the long-awaited files appear on the Internet in the public domain, I want to download them immediately. However, even here there are unpleasant situations in the form of a blackout, a computer error or an interrupted Internet connection. To prevent such incidents from spoiling the downloaded part of the file, you can always resume loading.
The way you download the information depends on the site where you find it. Most sites offer direct downloads through a dedicated browser built-in program. Therefore, if you have problems downloading, you need to solve it in the "Downloads" section of your web browser.
Open the downloads folder showing the actual download process. In the Opera browser, this is a separate “Downloads” tab; in the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrom browsers, the downloads folder is minimized by default on the bottom panel of the open window. Expand the window using the mouse by clicking on the standard Maximize button or using the Toolbar in the web browser menu. The standard "crawling" download bar shows the percentage of information downloaded to the computer, and it also predicts the approximate time of future downloads.
To preserve the integrity of the file, it is advisable not to interrupt unexpectedly loading, that is, do not cause system interruptions, such as freezing, rebooting, or power outages. If you need to stop the process of downloading information, click on the "Stop", "Stop" or "Pause" button, its name varies depending on the browser. Do not delete the downloaded part of the file.
When you have the opportunity to ensure long-term operation of the computer without interruption, open the "Downloads" tab of your browser, select with the mouse the name of the file to download which you want to return. When it is highlighted, the download control buttons will become active. Click on "Continue loading", Sometimes it is denoted by the" Play "triangle symbol. After a while after checking the information, the file will continue to download from the interrupted location.
If you download information using the torrent site search, please note that loading is produced not by your torrent client, but by the browser. However, before downloading the file, the torrent client must find you an active uploader. Therefore, to resume downloading, open the torrent client, select the line with the file, loading which you stopped and click on the "Resume" button, sometimes it looks like a "Pause" sign. After the program finds a free distributor, the download will begin.
If you deleted a torrent file, but want to download a torn movie, for example, you need to find the topic in which you found this particular version of the movie and download the new torrent file to your computer. As usual, double-click on it, and when the system prompts you to specify the save path. Get started loading to the same folder, and the download will continue from where it was disconnected.
The Windows operating system startup list contains a list of programs that the system must launch immediately after it boots. This list is supplemented by the software being installed or by the system user himself. Viewing or editing the startup list in Windows is not difficult at all.
Have you downloaded a file to your computer from the Internet and can't open it because you can't find it? Let's consider how the functionality of searching and managing downloaded files works in browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome.
To search for downloads in Mozilla Firefox, click on the arrow icon - the download panel will open. In the window that appears, you see the last three downloaded files, and to view all downloads, activate the item "Show all downloads". Open the required download by double-clicking on the file. If the list of downloads is cleared, but you remember exactly that you downloaded the file through the smear, refer to the "Settings" window on the "General" tab. Look at the path to save files in the downloads section. Next, find your file in the "Downloads" folder, following the prompts. In Mozilla Firefox, by default, this is where Internet downloads go. In the Opera web browser, similar to Mozilla Firefox, downloads are opened through the Downloads panel, which is located in the upper right corner. Click on the arrow - you will see a list of recent downloads. Click "More" - all "Downloads" will open. Pay attention to its functionality. The presence of active buttons "Open" and "Show in folder" greatly simplifies the work with files downloaded from the network. By default, all downloads through the opera go to the "downloads" folder - this is also prompted by the address bar of the main "Downloads" window. Downloads in Google Chrome, as opposed to muff and opera, are at the bottom and are highlighted during the download process. Open the downloaded file by clicking on it through the pop-up download panel. By default, files are saved to the Documents library in the Downloads folder - use this information if the panel is out of sight.
