1. VGA: this is quite old way of attaching your TV and laptop or other computer together, but it still works and the video quality is decent in my opinion. At least it should be higher than with S-Video cable. Older TV’s don’t have VGA inputs though, so you might want to check out first what kind of plugs your TV has.

2. S-Video: This kind of port can be found almost on any TV in the world, so this is one of the most common options, but the image quality isn’t very high if you are watching HDTV quality video from a HDTV quality TV. There are S-Video cables with 4 and 7 pins, so make sure that your TV has a 7-pin port to ensure this method to work.
3. DVI: DVI port gives even higher quality than the two aforementioned methods but the problem is that these ports are not found in the older TVs. However, the newer TV’s do have them and if you could afford your new HD quality TV, you probably don’t have any problems with paying 30 to 70 dollars for a DVI-cable.
4. HDMI: HDMI is the best option for this, because the image quality is superior. Many laptops don’t have a HDMI port, but the good ones and most expensive ones do have it and even the ones that don’t have it can use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect your computer with your TV.

It is quite likely that uninstalling your device drivers or reinstalling them does not work in this kind of case nor does system restore. It might sound very unlikely, but the solution usually is to unplug your whole computer from the power supply which will help the motherboard to reboot and reload all the drivers. This often makes your USB ports to recognize the attached devices again.

So basically all you have to do is to shut down your computer and then unplug it from the wall. Let it be like that for a few minutes and then you can replug it. This helped me, so I hope that it will help you as well!

Backups are one of those things that often get neglected until something unexpected happens and the data of a computer is lost. The good thing is that nowadays it is possible to often save data from a hard disk that has crashed but doing regular backups is much cheaper and more reliable option.

If you haven’t done a full backup yet, you should create a sound backup strategy now. First thing to think about is to make sure that the data is safe even in case of a fire or earthquake. It is not enough that you have a backup on a different hard disk that is in the same building than your primary computer.

Good backup ideas:

• Affordable USB hard drives are very good for regular backups. These should be then taken away from the site so that if something catastrophic happens, the data is still safe.
• Using cloud servers is another good option if you are not afraid of the privacy and safety issues, in other words, if the data is not very private. Dropbox is one of the most common cloud systems, but it is a viable option only for small backups.
• You can backup as often as you like. The thing is that you cannot backup too much – just too little. You should also ask yourself what happens if the first backup fails. Do you have a secondary backup in place? It is crucial to have more than one backup if your business is important to you.

First, click start, search and the search results window opens.

Click “all files and folders” link on the left side of the window to open three fill-in boxes:

1. You can type in full or partial file name you want to locate in the box that is labeled “all or part of the file name”. This is simple and logical, isn’t it?

2. The other option is to search for text within each file by entering the text you are looking to find in the box labeled “a word or phrase in the file”. Still everything is quite simple, isn’t it?

3. You can also click the arrow at the right side of the box labeled “look in” to open a drop-down list in order to select the drive or drives you want to search in. If you want to search all folders in the drive, just select the include subfolders check box. This could not be easier.

Now all you have to do is click the search button and you’ll get the results for the criteria you have just given.
