Upgrading to Windows 7

POSTED BY iYogi Technical Services  |  Windows 7
I have been doing a lot thinking these days; I have had lots of time to do that lately. And before you label me as a day dreamer killing time at work, let me clarify, I spend close to four hours travelling each day. And some of the most productive ideas have come to me while I have been on the road, stuck in a traffic jam! Lately all of my thoughts have somehow been focused on my laptop and how to make it work more efficiently. And during a rather long traffic jam, I decided that I would upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista. I know serious techies would gawk in disbelief at the fact that I stuck to Windows Vista for so long! In my defense, all I have to say is I did not realize what a memory hog Vista was until I saw my  colleague’s  laptop working on Windows 7. And let me not forget the user interface, which turned out to be the deciding factor for the switch. Upgrading to Windows 7 is probably the wisest decision I have taken in a long time. Moreover, I did not waste time mulling over my decision and bought the installation disc for Windows 7 last weekend. Upgrading to Windows 7 was easy, all I had to do was put in the installation disk and the setup wizard guided me through the entire process.  I was upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium from Windows Vista Home Premium, so the process was fairly easy and I did not have to follow the clean reinstall process (which I would have had to do in case I was upgrading from Windows Vista Home Basic). Even though I was Read More...

Pop-Ups No More!

Posted by Reeti Bangia  |  Pop up
People are usually surprised when I tell them that I like multitasking and often enjoy doing many things at one time. But somehow I have not mastered the art of reading two things at the same time. Just the other day, I was reading reviews of Microsoft Office 2010, on a popular tech website and whenever I tried to scroll down the page, a pop-up would open. And this pop up was no way related to Office 2010, all it did was interrupt my flow of reading and tried to sell me another magazine subscrip Read More...

The day slow internet almost ruined my movie plans

Posted by iYogi Technical Services  |  Slow Internet
Imagine this: You are sitting in front of your computer and booking tickets for the movie that you have been waiting all summer to watch. How frustrating would it be if the page took ages to load and you ultimately did not get to book your ticket because the session had timed out? This recently happened to me and I was really angry! I had volunteered to book tickets for a movie that my friends and I wanted to watch. I had just registered on to this new website, which claimed hassle free booking Read More...

Free as in Free Spyware?

Posted by iYogi Technical Services  |  Spyware
Who doesn’t love a good sale? The market these days is filled with great offers that keep tempting you to empty your wallets. The best sales are the ones that let you buy two for the price of one; you pay for a single item but get another free with it! I know you must be shaking your head right now, and muttering, “This girl is nuts!” In my defence, let me just say that, I’m not the only one who looks for a good discount!  As a matter of fact search for good discounts is not only limite Read More...

The Investigation

It’s a common belief that women only crib or gossip about inane stuff during lunch hours, however, I would like to bring this urban myth to an end and prove it false.   In fact lunch time is probably the best time for exchange of information; both useful and useless!  As a matter of fact, it was during an everyday lunch conversation that I got to know why my computer was behaving strangely.  My search for a solution to my computer’s virus problem was also fuelled over lunch time talk.

Not Just a Quick Fix

Posted by iYogi Technical Services  |  Slow Computer
I guess we humans have a habit of complicating our lives and then panicking when we realize that we can no longer control things. A very wise person once told me that we tend to look for quick fix solutions instead of solving and rectifying errors. You might be wondering at the philosophical insight, but my recent tryst with computer problems has indeed made me wonder at the abuse our machines have to undergo at our hands each day!  But seriously, wouldn’t it be great if we could get somethin Read More...

Reasons For Slow Computer Performance

Posted by iYogi Technical Services  |  Slow Computer
Who doesn’t like unwinding on a weekend? I know, I for sure like to sit back and relax, catch a movie, but this weekend I was feeling a bit on the edge! I wanted to try my hand at something new; actually I was dying to get my hands on my cousin’s old laptop! No! I’ m not a kleptomaniac! I didn’t want to steal her laptop. Actually ever since I cured my office computer, I have been itching to try my new found expertise on another computer! And for a long time I have heard my cousin comp Read More...

“Don’t Panic! Breathe! It’s not the end of the world, you can survive this too! “ This is probably my most uttered, pick-me-up and make-me-feel-better line these days, when I sit down to work. No! My boss is not after my life. And, no I am not drowning in a sea of paperwork, I work in a paperless office, remember?  I’m talking about the daily challenges and hurdles that I have to face while working on my computer! Yes, I am talking about the very same- smart boxes that were invente Read More...
