High TipsTo Overcome Common Problems In Your Computer

 How To  Overcome Common Problems In Your Computer ????





Do not run your PC at all? Disk is not detected, optical drives, which was slow, not the best monitor or a router that is all too often it? Do not panic, the solution can be found here!

Sometimes this can happen. PC suddenly acting up, and can not be easily resolved. Even if you have read the various troubleshooting guides are available in the manual. And this is also happening with you.



Not the view of the situation and conditions, a system to act. It could be a moment after you run update driver. Or after the addition of extensions for your system. Or occur suddenly, without warning and without prior notice.



And this time, the ratings above things to discuss. Not nervous and did not need too much panic.



Sitting still and just follow the discussion this time. I hope one of them is the answer to the problem you face with your favorite PC.



Latest, Not That Free Bug

It is not always the latest technology to give the best for users. Even the few times we have witnessed, the product that carries the latest technology, the first batch was also accompanied by problems perbagai dizzying enough.



For example, the latest motherboard chipset. Here are a few cases, which are often felt that the members of the PC-Media-Lab. Be necessary to hold several small research to a series of tests to perfect run. From occasional BIOS updates, driver updates or just find an updated manual of the product concerned.



Another example is to test the graphics card. Increasingly fierce competition with ATI Radeon and Nvidia in a variety of products with the latest chipset, again and again in our laboratory. What software patches, ultimately requires test solutions. To run it.

Then what is happening in the real world? For everyday use with your PC



Step opening times

As in chess, the first step is very crucial. So also in the solution of problems encountered with the PC.



In this subbahasan containing most important step in trying to solve a problem with your PC. It is important to try to find out to what the ground up for your PC act. Last change what happens on your PC?



This is very important to make sure. Since it will be much easier to do the processing. The possibility of problems occur, the adjusted. From here, the possibility of problems can narrow that to the PC experience.



01. PC No reaction under pressure power button.

Permasalahan: menekan tombola power Anda untuk Anda mengaktifkan PC, PC Namun tidak menunjukkan tanda tanda KEHIDUPAN. What happened?



Solution: If this happens on your PC, there are several possibilities must be examined one by one.



Step 1: Check all electrical networks from the outlet to the PSU (Power Supply Unit) on your PC. Is it installed perfectly. Starting from the PSU to ensure that the switch ON position, or if you have a UPS (uniterruptable power supply) and / or stabilizer, AVR (automatic voltage regulator). Make sure that all the ON position and in perfect condition.



Step 2: If it is not the cause, then the next possibility of a new on your PC. Make sure all cables (especially power cables) and components are properly installed. How mebuka housing, then push back component and the existing cable connectors. Sometimes this is because the plug is not connected properly. Also note, ATX 12V, which are found on most motherboards the last four years. Motherboard will not act without the power of these connections.



Step 3: That would be very difficult. Perform inspections of the devices one by one. This refers to the CPU and motherboard. Make sure both are still functioning properly. As we say it when the CPU is damaged, the system is not at all light. Even if the motherboard is damaged. Especially for the supply business (MOSFETs, power lines on the board, and so on). This will also mean that the PC does not respond well.



02. Fans, hard drive spins sounds, but remain dark screen monitor.

Problem: Responding PC. It was the sound of the fan rotation, and the signs of other life from the hard drive, optical drives, and others. However, the screen remains dark.



Solution: Phew ... it was at least somewhat better than the problem number 1 For this problem should focus on a particular signal of the BIOS POST. Make sure the speakers are well-mounted enclosure, so you can hear the POST beep is a combination that will have on most motherboards. Or on some motherboards, the new buzzer on the motherboard.



Easier still, if the motherboard BIOS with the POST code display consists of two seven-segment LED that hexagesimal displayed code. If you do not know the meaning of the code is not (either sound or light) or lose the manual, again no reason to panic. You can try to open the site for Bios Central (http://www.bioscentral.com).



Harddisk

Shop various documents, favorite songs in MP3 format, the installation of 3D games (in which) to gigabyte units, some even collect video download DivX format, digital video, or transfer from the master Handycam results. It is not surprising if the hard drive at full speed. Was adding hard drives, it did not take

despite some problems that might arise.



03. System will detect new hard drive.

Problem: new hard drive is installed, either not recognized in Windows or the BIOS though.



Solution: The point is properly installed and mengonfigurasikan disk. Hard drive does not include a hard component in the installation. However, there are several steps to consider, is done with the installation of hard drives.



Step 1: Make sure the disk is always catudaya of PSUs. Trivial mistakes like this happen could. Given the location of the hard drive is usually on the housing front. Sometimes it is associated with the establishment of power from the fan, do not get the power from the power supply. This could also by the lack of electricity power supply.



Step 2: Make sure the setting master and slave hard drive exactly as desired. Or if you use the cable, select Configuration sure the configuration on the second drive, your old and new use.



To Step 3: If you use cable select configuration, consider the installation of the IDE cable on the hard disk. Some of the latest cable, has given a special mark in order to determine which ports are to be regarded as a master, and connections that would be a slave. If unavailable, the easiest way is by using the basic rules. Connectors are in the forefront is a master. While the connector in the middle will be treated as a slave.



Step 4: If it does not solve the problem, then there is an alternative answer to the BIOS settings. In the main option, Integrated Peripherals, usually there is a choice for the IDE controller. There is also the possibility of setting SATA disk controller. If you have a similar problem when you try to experiencing a new hard drive add-on SATA interface. Especially for the SATA hard drive and Windows, do not forget that the driver, which is normally supplied by motherboard manufacturers are available to install. Or updates, uses, depending on the motherboard chipset.



04. HDD detected but can not be served.

Problem: The BIOS detects hard disk. But not so with Windows and even DOS.



Solution: This is not a big problem. Everything you need to do is create a partition and then format the new hard drive. Since recognize the new drive is not in a file system that formatted the Windows or DOS can. There are several ways that can make the new hard drive.



Option 1: If you install the new hard disk with operating system Windows 9x, it will want to take a little basic information about the command FDISK. For this one, we strongly recommend it to a single command accompanied by someone learn from you.



Option 2: If the Windows 2000/XP or some of the latest plan to install Linux distributions nowadays, you have no headaches faced again with FDISK command. They offer options during the installation process. Simply follow the steps and options. At least it is easier than using the FDISK command for most people.



Possible 3: If the new hard drive be used as an additional hard drive for data storage, it will be easier. For example, you already have with Windows XP. By using a user with administrator rights, you may have to do the following.



Simply by clicking on Disk Management. One of them by right clicking on My Computer, choose Manage.



Consider the left column. Then on Storage, select Disk Management. From here you can view files and help you manage your new hard drive.



Note: Be careful if you are given the facilities available in Disk Management. Do not let the wrong disk. Because the data can be lost on the hard disk or partition. Even when using FDISK or a similar function on the operating system installation.



05. Install a new hard drive Extra Large.

Problem: 200-GB hard drive is not recognized by the BIOS, let alone Windows. In fact, a step leading to 03 and 04 all started.



Solution: There Together with time and technological progress, it is the product for large disk mass available in the market. With a relatively low price. The core problem is to use the method that is used for LBA (Logical Block Addressing). The problem for the above, usually with oversized hard drive 137 GB, with 48-bit LBA method.



For the first it should be to determine whether the BIOS is used, already supports 48-bit LBA. For example, here are 48-bit LBA test program for the Intel Application Accelerator (http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/sb/CS-009302.htm) used. Simply by a simple application 48lbachk.exe on the system.



If you find that the BIOS is not supporting, it is necessary that the BIOS update. Refer to the readme file on the BIOS update. Make sure that can solve the update, which is used, compatibility issues, 48-bit LBA hard drive.



Optical drive

This device can be too long a mainstay for storage companies. The following could be some problems that may occur.



06. Software burner is not functioning at New optical drive.

Problems: For example, you had to say goodbye to the old CD-RW drive. And replace it with a new burner. But we recognize that leg Nero CD writing software is not used with the new drive. Why?



Solution: In the early heyday of the CD-RW drive, most of the included software comes with the burner. However, that now many outstanding optical drives are not accompanied by the burner software.



Please note that the OEM license granted on the sales package. And given dibundle products. And Nero has a protective function, so that only used specifically for the drive. To continue to use with a new burner, the minimum cost upgradenya. Nero 6 Reloaded enggunakan Latest upgrade serial number (www.nero.com, for U.S. $ 39.99). This is cheaper than the full version.



07. Write speed is not fast, as promised.

Problem: specification does not promise 100% compatibility with the existing reality. However, when the time for two or more times the appointed time to write, it must be something wrong. What are the causes?



Solution: This can not feel much, even for CD-RW drive is the fastest though. However, if you switched to a DVD burner, the difference will be felt. It might take more than 1 hours writing data on DVD media capacity of 4.7 GB.



The need to ensure that both hard drives and optical drives that are used, has been working on Ultra DMA mode (Direct Memory Access).



To check in Windows XP with respect to the Device Manager. Open the IDE controller on the tree. And look at the Advanced Settings tab. Reference to the current transfer mode. Check for each IDE controller, in which the optical drive installed.



And VGA display

Both are designed to pamper the eyes of users. With VGA you get stronger, the framerate better. While in a better display, you will receive a resolution and refresh rate, which is not strenuous, the eyes. However, this does not mean both are free of the problems.



08. Graphics card driver is not installed with the Perfect.

Problem: It seems the driver installation went perfect. But after rebooting the system, there is a mistake, a warning: "Application Error cli.exe. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application." What are the causes and how they to handle?



Solution: Some users have experienced graphics cards with ATI Radeon chipsets VPU never. Especially if you never update the drivers and supporting applications using the ATI Catalyst. For information, ATI Catalyst that specifically for these Windows operating system, created using Microsoft. NET Framework SDK.



Operating system must go through the installation of Microsoft. NET Framework to be added. What is now available for version 1.1.



This is useful if you also go to Applications with Microsoft. NET Framework SDK created. In order to overcome all the problems that led the emergence of similar pop-up window.





09. Avoiding errors when installing the VGA driver update.

Problem: How should perform the update VGA driver. Because in some cases appear common error.



Solution: There are no specific instructions to update the installer file to VGA driver, the old driver that was installed uninstalled proposed. However, you should for your operating system from the old driver always clean. Before menginstalasinya with the latest required updates.



For VGA users with ATI Radeon chipsets you can easily uninstall the old driver, along with some supporting applications. Then include the ATI ATI CATALYST Uninstaller, which is automatically included when you install the ATI Catalyst driver.



For others, the needs of his own tricks. Quite a few alternatives for the rehabilitation of the old driver. You can Driver Cleaner, which is now available to Driver Cleaner 3.3, Professional Edition or variants (www.drivercleaner.net).





10. Improve the view of the monitor.

Problem: You have selected the best monitors. Suppose that a TFT-LCD monitor, or "just" the leading brand of CRT monitors, which are often derived hardware reviews. However, the resulting display is not satisfactory. What should I do?

Solution: almost everything is a device to be less than optimal without the optimal configuration. So also for the monitor.



Most LCD monitors have a special AUTO button () or similar, for automatic configuration. In accordance with the data communicated between the monitor with a graphics card with DDC. But sometimes not perfect. Most of the moire interference is still alive. You can use a MONITOR test, operation and try to mengalibrasikan minimal moire interference.



For CRT monitors, most of the problem of contrast and brightness. Set contrast to the monitor power light. But if excessive tiring eyes. Brightness memperterang. However, it is too high to lose black level. And in some cases appear to disturb the concentration of the monitor.



Networking

DSL Internet connection offers speeds are quite satisfactory. Package offering price range, can be tailored to the needs. However, a problem can not be separated from him. And it is no easy thing to an Internet connection to make free of the problems.



11. Attach the router, and should be restarted.

Problem: At first, when installing the router, it never happened. But in these days, often the router hangs and needs to be restarted to get Internet connection on a PC connected to the router.



Solution: Even with the best configuration, the router is still experience. Usually this is because too many connection requests at the same time. And so far, the only way to restart them to the router (turn it off and then back).



Step 1: If your router manufacturer has updated firmware, you can try to update the firmware in order to improve the routing process and to prevent the crash on the router.



Step 2: You can take preventive measures. Something like this can also be caused by viruses, spyware is attacking the PC. Run antivirus and antispyware that has been updated to check on any PC.



Step 3: Consider the applications installed on each router, a PC client. In particular, some file sharing applications, peer-to-peer (P2P). Such applications can also cause. If they are not configured properly, can be opened P2P software sharring permissions, so that if too many requests will automatically debit your router.



12. Connection with Wi-Fi Sometimes Disconnected.

Problem: Network connection via Wi-Fi, occasionally interrupted abruptly. For no apparent reason. This happens occasionally on Centrino notebooks are already equipped with Wi-Fi connection.



Solution: In general, the store is because power mode. Centrino notebooks enabled by default for this function to save battery power. The easiest way is to use the Intel PROSet (if available).



Or about the features on Wi-Fi devices, Ethernet, Network Connections. Then select "Configure". Adcanced tab, there are settings to optimize power consumption. Ad-hoc transmit power to achieve influence over the distance. Meanwhile, power management, will adjust to the battery, the notebook, and inactivity. And automatically reduces the power consumption from the battery.

After Testing with QTP or LoadRunner, Manage your tests with HP- Quality Center

Introduction to Quality Center:
Quality Center is a versatile tool brought out by HP, for managing the complete application testing process. When we say the management of the application testing process; it includes the process of customizing the test project, defining the releases, specifying requirements, planning of tests, execution of tests, tracking of defects, issuing of

alerts on changes, and finally analyzing the results.
It should not be misunderstood as a tool for testing the functionality of the applications. Not being a testing tool as such, it does not use any scripting language. Or in other words, we can’t write or execute any script in Quality Center.

Quality center can be used to write functions in such way that enables us to open the Test script in a performance-testing tool like QuickTest Professional and when desired, we can save it in Quality center.

Key Features of Quality Center:

Following features render Quality Center as a most versatile test management tool.

1) Maintains a Common Repository
2) Offers Automatic Traceability Matrix
3) Excellent Bug Tracking facility
4) Offers Automatic Reports and Graphs generator

How to use the Quality Center:

Broadly we can bifurcate our process of using Quality Center into following four Modules or phases.

1) Requirements Module
2) Test Planning Module
3) Test Execution Module
4) Defects Management Module

1) Requirements Module:
It comprises of clear identification & validation of all functional and performance requirements expected to be tested in our application. These requirements, once described with ample clarity provide the test team a solid foundation on which the entire testing process is based. The process involves listing out the entire Primary or Main Requirements (Say MR1, MR2, Mr3 etc.) along-with sub-requirements or Child Requirements (Say CR1, CR2, CR3 etc.).

For the entire Requirement identified above, a Test is planned. For Manual Testing, the term “Test” refers to creation of a Test Case, while for an Automated Testing, the term “Test” refers to creation of a Test Script.

Requirements Module of Quality Center offers facility of defining two types of Requirements Like
1) Defining New Requirement
2) Defining New Child Requirement

The Requirement module displays the information through following fields:

1) Author: Displays the user name of the person who created the requirement. By default, this is the login user name.

2) Comments: Displays the comments about the requirement.

3) Creation Date: Means the date on which the requirement was created. By default, the creation date is set to the current database server date.

4) Creation Time: Means the time at which the requirement was created. By default, the creation time is set to the current database server time.

5) Description: A description of the requirement.

6) Direct Cover Status: The current status of the requirement. Various types of requirement status can be like Not Covered, Failed, Not Completed, Passed, No Run, N/A, Not direct cover etc. By default, the status is Not Covered.

7) Modified: Indicates the date the requirement was last changed.

8) Name: The requirement name.

9) Old Type: The type of obsolete requirement.

10) Priority: The priority of the requirement, ranging from low priority (level 1) to urgent priority (level 5).

11) Product: The component of the application on which the requirement is based.

2) Test Plan Module:
It comprises of the prime activity i.e. creation of clear and concise Test Plans in line with the requirements formulated in the Requirements Phase. A nicely prepared test plan enables us to assess the quality of our application at any point in the testing process. Before proceeding ahead, with the help of Traceability Matrix, it is ensured that all the requirements have been duly addressed in the Test Plans.

Addressing all the requirements, various Test Plans are created either manually or automatically.

The process involves following key steps:

a) Creation of a folder
b) Creation of an empty test.
c) Launching of the available functional testing tool like HP – Quickest Professional etc.
d) Creation of the Test Scripts.
e) Saving the Test Script in the empty script file already created.
f) Repetition of above steps till creation of test plans covering all the test requirements gets completed.

For maintaining an automatic traceability, it is essential that the tests in the test plan meet our original requirements. Hence links are added to keep track of the relationship between our requirements and the tests.

A test can cover more than one requirement, and a requirement can be covered by more than one test, hence linking can be done accordingly. We can link requirements and tests to the defects. This can help you ensure compliance with our testing needs throughout the testing. If a requirement changes, we can immediately identify which tests and defects are affected, and who is responsible for it.

3) Test Lab Module:
As the application undergoes changes, the manual and automated tests are run in our project with a view to identify the areas of defects and make judgement on the product quality.

The flow of this module is as under

a) Creation of Test Sets: A test set is a group of tests in a Quality Center project designed for achieving some particular testing objectives. The process begins with the identification of all the end-to-end scenarios, followed by creation of individual test Sets for every such end-to-end scenario.

After creating the test sets, tests set folders are created and assigned to development and QA cycles based on the project timeline.

b) Scheduling Test Runs: Quality Center enables us to control the execution of tests in a test set. We can set conditions, and schedule the date and time for executing our tests.

We can define the sequence in which to execute the tests. For example, we can define to run “test2” only when “test1” has finished, and run “test3” only if “test1” has passed.

c) Running of the Tests: After defining the test sets, we are ready to execute the tests. We can select all the tests in a test set, or some specific tests. Our selection can include both automated and manual tests. We can run either a single test or all the tests in the test set.

# Running Tests Manually: When we run a test manually, we execute the test steps defined by us during test planning stage. We declare a step either pass or fail according to the fact whether the actual results of the application matched the expected output or not.

# Running Tests Automatically: While running an automated test, the selected testing tool opens automatically, runs the test, and exports the test results to Quality Center. When we run a manual test, an e-mail is automatically sent to the specific tester, prompting to run the manual test.

d) Analyzing Test Results: After a test run, the test results are analyzed to identify the failed steps and to determine whether a defect has been detected in our application, or if the expected results of our test need to be updated. In case a defect gets detected, we can create a new defect and link it to the test run, or link an already-existing defect with the test run.

After the test execution gets finished the results can be analyzed through the Functional Testing Tool itself (like QuickTest Professional). The identified defects can be directly posted through the QuickTest Professional itself, alternatively the Defects Module of HP Quality Center can be used.

4) Defects Module:
This module is like a Bug Tracking Tool and helps us in reporting the design flaws in our application. This provides all the facilities to manage the defects like adding of defects, changing the status of defects and analyzing the defects etc.

a) Adding Defects: When a defect is found in the application, it is submitted to the Quality Center project. The project stores the defect information and it can be accessed by the authorized users only say like the members of the development, quality assurance, and support teams. This new defect can be associated with the cycle and release in which it was detected. The new defect can be associated with the test we ran, for future reference

b) Reviewing New Defects: During this stage we decide as to which defects needs to be fixed. The project manager usually performs this task. Here we change the status of a new defect to “Open”, and assign it to the concerned member of the development team for fixing.

c) Repairing Open Defects: This involves identifying the cause of the defects, modifying and rebuilding the application. Application developers perform such activities. When a defect is repaired, we assign it the status “Fixed”.

d) Testing a New Application Build: Involves running of the tests on the new or 2nd build of the application. If the defect does not come up again, we assign it the status “Closed”. However If the defect is detected again, we assign it the status “Reopen”, and it is returned to the previous stage. The quality assurance manager or project manager usually performs this task. Doing testing on 2nd build on wards is called Re-Testing or Regression testing.
Repeated testing from the Test Lab Module to Defects Module is carried out till all the defects get fixed.

Effective EMR Software For Single and Small Medical Practices

ingle and small medical practices need all the help they can get when it comes to managing the practice. Employing more staff won't solve the problem of operational efficiency and effectiveness as the practice continues to grow. Doctors
must learn to turn to technology, and harness the benefits of powerful software to help run their practices.

And that is exactly what thousands of small medical practices have done. By utilizing EMR (Electronic Medical Records) or

PM (Practice Management) software, small practices have managed to reduce costs, and increase their profit margins. Software has allowed the practices to grow and scale, while keeping everything ship shape. This is, by no means, an easy feat. Consider the activities that is happening in a medical practice during a normal working day.

Staff has to work with an increasing number of patient records. Small practices used to manage such records manually, which is doable while the practice is still small. But as the number of patients increases, it can be a nightmare to store and retrieve records.

The practice also depends very much on patient appointments for revenues. That means patients must turn up for medical appointments before any revenue is made. Often, appointments are being missed for various reasons. Patients may forget about a scheduled appointment that is 6 months ahead. Without proper management software, there is no way staff can remind the patients to come for appointments.

Then there is the issue of expected revenues and realized revenues. To make business related decisions for the practice, doctors used to rely on unreliable financial information. A lot of decisions are made based on guesswork. In other words, they perceive that the business is having a healthy cash flow. But expected revenues is very different from actual revenues. Bill collection poses a constant problem to many medical practices. Patients forget to pay bills, claims are not filed on time, etc. This affects the cash flow of the practice.

To manage the practice properly, it is wise to invest in a comprehensive suite of EMR software. Such software can help schedule appointments, keep patient records organized, help with bill collections, and increase the overall efficiency of the entire business.

So far, this is just from the perspective of the practice. What about the perspective of the patient?

Patients will find that the medical practice is more professionally, and they will appreciate staff members calling them up and reminding them of upcoming appointments. If there is a need to go for a medical appointment, it is in their best interest to show up for the appointments. Otherwise, they may fail to follow through on the healing plan that the doctor has mapped out for him or her. In other words, EMR software helps the practice offer higher quality medical practices. Even if a practice has no intention to grow as a business, patients have learned to expect better medical care with the help of modern technology.

For the above reasons, many medical practices have chosen to upgrade the applications that they are currently using

Medical Appointment Scheduling - Affordable and Comprehensive Software


MAS, or Medical Appointment Scheduling software, helps single and small medical practices manage patient appointments. There are many benefits when it comes to utilizing technology. For instance, the practice enjoys increased productivity, higher customer loyalty, and increased revenues. In this case, it is not only the practice that gets to enjoy all the benefits. The patients get better medical care too. It's a win-win situation.

Often, there are

several factors that cause doctors to be resistant to installing appointment scheduling software. Some worry that the licensing fees can be too expensive. For sure, this is an undue worry because there are always various licensing options available, even for the smallest medical practice. These options are available to suit the different needs of different practices. They also allow practices to upgrade their licensing according to the growth of the practice. Hence, there is no need to worry about the fees. When the practice is small, fees are highly affordable.

Here is an example. Let's say your organization has only 4 people. At any one time, the maximum number of people accessing the software is 4. That means you only have to pay for 4 licenses. It does not matter if you have 10 or 20 computers. You can install the software in all your computers with only 4 licenses. This leads to lower licensing fees.

Not only are the fees affordable, the features are also quite comprehensive. For example, you can easily synchronize your appointment scheduling software with your Quickbooks(R) software so that data remains consistent across the board. Also, the software has HIPAA security, which means that you don't have to worry about compliance issues.

Some doctors do not believe in using technology. They still have the mindset that there is no need for such software. They can keep track of their appointments manually. However, the manual method has been proven to be highly inefficient, and it is common sense that the practice cannot scale beyond a certain limit. Without the help of technology, the practice will hit its ceiling very soon. When that happens, it is very difficult to help more patients - the practice is stuck.

Sometimes, resistance to change may be caused by fear of technology. The worry is that staff has to be tech savvy, and doctors have to be kept on their toes at all times due to technological changes. But this belief is flawed because software publishers usually take care of everything - from product development to providing regular product upgrades. There is no need for doctors to worry about these issues. Leave them to the professionals. So far, it appears that they are doing an excellent job. Scheduling software in the market place today are designed to be easy to use, customizable, flexible, and stable.

In addition, support is just round the corner. All you have to do, is to make a quick phone call and a trial version of the software will be setup to work with your existing software. You can experience for yourself, first hand, the ease and convenience of using appointment scheduling software.
