Support for Windows XP ends: We are reaching the end of the life cycle and support for Windows XP, will no longer be supported after April, 2014. Ten years have passed since Windows XP was first launched - and during that time, user needs have changed and today’s businesses face trends that didn't exist back then. Technology evolves rapidly to keep up with trends and the needs of the marketplace, as well as maintaining security amidst evolving online threats. New hardware and software will not be available to run with this older operating system. |

Windows 7 64bit: Windows Update Service Not Running? I would recommend having a trained professional do this but if you think you can handle it try this: Recently, I was working with a client and they had an issue updating their Windows 7 PC. Basically, whenever they tried to run a check for updates, they would get the following error message: Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.
Of course, restarting did not help. |

Laptop battery wearing down? ...how to help batteries last longer ... and what to do when they run out!
First, the basics
Most laptops use batteries that can last for 3-5 years, or about 1000 charges. (A premium laptop's battery might last longer.) Every time you charge your battery, the total capacity of the battery is diminished. Originally it may have had a run time of 3.5 hours, but after a year it'll run out of juice at 3 hours, even on a full charge.
If your battery capacity has diminished, there are a few things you can do about it. |

I have heard a lot about an issue loading internet explorer due to a yt.dll error lately. This can be resolved easily in most cases. I would recommend that you have your local computer guru take care of it but if you want to save the money and take a stab at fixing it yourself here is a clue: Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Click on Yahoo! Toolbar and then Click remove. Restart your computer. If this does not fix the problem take it to your local computer technician. |

Nothing is substitute for getting an expert to sit down and look at it for you, but perhaps this will bring into focus a few possible causes for your computer acting lethargically. 1)Too many programs running at the same time.Over the lifespan of a computer it is common for users to download programs, applications, and other data that is running in the background. The more things that run in the background, the less “attention span” your computer has to do other things you are asking it to do. |
