Hey Guys,

If you have a pretty good camera that takes huge photos then you will love this!

VSO Image Resizer is a freeware program that allows you to select as many photos as you want and change there size, this is great for the above reason, also its great for sending photos in a email or by instant messenger. The software is simple to use and anybody can work it. VSO Image Resizer works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista also its extremely fast!

Thanks,

Hey people. It has been two weeks since I did my last weekend tutorial, but I’m back and here to tell you how to install windows xp or vista on a Mac, without removing your current Mac operating System.

Now first things first, you will need a copy of Leopard already installed on your pc and you will need the Leopard disk, if you have a family pack disk this will not effect your maximum computer limit. You will also need a copy of Windows XP or Vista and a wired keyboard. You should also back up all your files in case something goes wrong!

Hey people, it’s another tiny but affordable laptop! The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is ultra cheep and ultra mobile. Just like the Eee PC, it is cheep and small! The laptop it self has a scratch resistant screen and a spill proof keyboard, it runs on xp or linux, altough the linux version is cheaper.

The price is said to be about $600, that means roughly £300 and for the linux version it is about £250… There are some awesome features, like the attractive look, webcam, multiple USB ports and 9″ screen. It is better than the Eee PC and at the same price!

All in all, I think this is a very nice laptop that has a lot going for it… It is likely to be as or more popular than the Eee PC…

Thanks For Reading,

Hey Guys,

Since its spring and I had a spare few hours I decided to spring clean my computer. I download at least one program a day, sometimes a lot more so I have to keep on top of things I use and I don’t use. The reason I download so many programs is because I like testing and trying new things. The internet is full of great freeware and I just cant get enough of it.

When I install software I tend to forget about it, and just clogs up my computer and can make it slower and not-as-powerful. I am going to take you guys through what I do. I really should do this sequence every week, or at least twice a month but time isn’t really on my side. Anyway heres the steps I take to making my computer faster/better/run smoother.

1. Uninstall Programs
As I said above I download a lot of programs, know if I just left all those programs on I would run out of space on my two hard-drives. I use a program called Revo Uninstaller, now this program is a lot better than the standard uninstaller that is found on most computers under the control panel. Revo Uninstaller scans your computer for all applications and games and will allows you to unistall them.

You simply select a program you don’t want anymore and click Uninstall, this will start the uninstall process, after the program has been uninstalled, Revo Uninstaller will look in your registry and look for folders that were not deleted in the uninstall process. If you use the Windows XP built in uninstaller, there is a high chance it will leave folders and registry entry’s on your computer, this can slow it down!

Once I have uninstalled all my programs that I do not use/need anymore I will look in MSCONFIG.

2. Managing Start-up Programs
I am a great fan of fast start up! This tip I am about to share has been posted all over the internet and its nothing new. Go to the start menu (or press the windows key) and click Run, then type msconfig:

Then press ok. This should show a box something like this:

Click the Startup tab and you will find all the items/programs that run on start-up. Now I have very little running on start-up, just basic things such as my sound card controller, anti-virus and thats it really. Nice and quick to load! I would recommend doing this as it can save a lot of loading time on start-up. After your have deselected the items you dont want, click Apply and restart your computer.

Hey Guys,

Have you ever heard of ObjectDock? Well, its basiclay a dock similar to the one you would find on every mac

os x machine, but this is not as good - its the closest thing I could find! ObjectDock is extremely customizable and you can change pretty much everything about it, and whats best is its free. There is a Pro Edition but I think the free version is perfectly fine.

I use this to keep my desktop tidy, on my ObjectDock I have all my applications, recycle bin and folders/files. Its really handy when you like to have a clean work-space, if you like the sound of it already, then check out this video I put together, it will go through different options and different customizable things you can do, check out the video:
