Fix Appcrash Errors On A Computer
When program files or files within your computer's registry have become corrupted, this can cause the programs tounexpectedly crash. When a program crashes, you will likely get an Appcrash error. The error message willsay "Windows Media Player (or whichever program has crashed) has stopped working" and then list rows of technical information regarding the cause of the crash. Unless you are a computer programmer, you may never fully understand what caused your program crash, but that doesn't mean that you can't fix it
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions:
1.Delete any new programs that you have downloaded. Often, the cause of corruption in a computer system are bad downloads that bring harmful files ontoyour computer. If you started to get the Appcrash error on yoursystem after downloading a new program or software from the Internet, it's highly likely you have downloaded a bad product. Use the"Add/Remove Programs" feature in your "Control Panel" to get rid of the program immediately.
2.Uninstall the programthat is crashing. It is possible to fix the program's corrupted files while the programis still installed, but to make sure that you clear the program files completely, it is safestto completely uninstall it from the system.
3.Run a full scan of your computer. Your computer should already have antivirus software installed that can scan for corrupted files and either fix them or delete them from yoursystem. If you do not have antivirus software on your computer, that could be a big part of the problem. Purchase and install antivirus software as soon as possible. These are designed to protect your computer from outside threats. Once you have the antivirus program installed, openit and click "Scan Computer." The antivirus scan will isolate bad files and you will be given the option to remove them from your system.
4.Reinstall the programthat was crashing. Now that the corrupted files have all been removed, your program should run smoothly after reinstallation.
5.Check for program incompatibility. If, after a thorough scan and cleaning of your computer and reinstallation of your program, the Appcrasherrors continue, the program you are tryingto use may not be compatible with your operating system. For instance, there are some DVD softwares, such as Media Now, that do not work correctly with Windows Vista. These lists can be easily found online. If this is the case, you will have to purchase a software program that is compatible withyour operating system.Another problem that occurs from time to time is programs that are not able to be installed on the same computer at the same time because of program compatibility issues.

Make Your Computer Super Fast
This Tweak is meant for increasing the
performance of Windows XP, it ca either be a fresh installation or a old one
.This tweak surely increase the performance for your computer .
1. Disable Dos 8.3 naming in Windows
Xp.(Consumes lot of resources)
Windows XP uses two different names for
each file on your computer. One is the name that you see in explorer and in the
command prompt, and the other is an MSDOS compatible 8.3 (8 character title
followed by a ‘.’ .Then three more characters to indicate the type of file)
name. If you are intending to run DOS only software, or connect to pre-Windows
95 computers, you will need this second set of names. If not, you are simply
wasting resources. To disable the 8.3 naming convention:
Open REGEDIT (Start, Run, regedit)
Navigate to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem
Change the value of the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation to ‘1′
Navigate to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ FileSystem
Change the value of the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation to ‘1′
2.) Right-click on My Computer icon on Desktop and select Properties, now goto Advanced tab in new window and click on Settings button in Performance section click on settings :
Now uncheck
all the options in Visual Effects, but u can check following options :
1.) Show window contents while dragging.
2.) Smooth edges of screen fonts.
3.) Use common tasks in folders (If u use the left side pane in My computer, I
don’t use it.)
4.) Show translucent selection rectangle
5.) Use drop shadows on icon labels on the desktop. (to make the desktop icons
label transparent.)
6.) Use visual styles on windows and buttons.
3.)Now I’ll tell some Registry tricks, which can be applied without any problem and I am sure this trick will surely increase the performance of your system. Just copy paste following code in Notepad and save the file with any name but the extension of the file must be .REG , and after that run the file and then click on yes :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"Link"=hex:00,00,00,00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad]
"StatusBar"=dword:00000001

@=hex(2):00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]

My Computer Won't Shu Down Itself After Installing XP
There are a number of users who are
noticing that their PC will no longer automatically power down/shut off without
pressing the power off button on the computers unlike in Windows Me/95/2000.
There could be a number of reasons for this - but the main one seems to be that
ACPI is not enabled on the computer or in Windows XP. Here is how to try that
