HELP FOR SLOW COMPUTER

 

 

Below is a quick list of a few things every Windows and AOL user should do at least once a month. If you like, you can print this, and keep it near your computer.

A. EMPTY YOUR AOL CACHE

B. BACKING UP YOUR ADDRESS BOOK, FAVORITE PLACES AND PERSONAL FILING CABINETS

C. CLEAN UP THE HARD DRIVE

D. DEFRAGMENT YOUR HARD DRIVE

E. RESOURCES ON AOL

F. RESOURCES & UPDATES AT MICROSOFT.COM

EMPTY CACHE

 

A. EMPTY YOUR AOL CACHE

 

NOTE: Sometimes browsing the web gets a little sluggish. Deleting the web cache or stored files can make a big difference. Below are the steps on how to do that. Remember that you can do all of this through the toolbar at the top of the AOL screen.

 

1. Click on MY AOL on the AOL toolbar, then select PREFERENCES.

2. Select WWW from the options in the sidebar on the left (it's the second from the top).

3. Click on DELETE FILES, located on the right side of the preferences window, then click on OK.

 

NOTE: Although you may see the spinning beach ball for a few seconds, if there are many files being deleted, you may not see any obvious signs of activity. Rest assured, it is working.

BACKING UP STUFF

B. BACKING UP YOUR ADDRESS BOOK, FAVORITE PLACES AND PERSONAL FILING CABINETS

 

NOTE: The Organize folder contains all the Address Book entries, Favorite Places, and Personal Filing Cabinet (PFC) information. If you make a copy of the Organize folder, and save it somewhere other than the AOL Folder, you can always restore your Address Book, Favorite Places and PFC should the originals develop any problems. You can also put a copy of the Organize folder on a disk and move it to a new computer.

 

1. Double-click on your My Computer icon.

2. Double-click on the C: Drive.

3. Double-click on the AMERICA ONLINE folder.

4. Single-click on the Organize folder to highlight it, click on EDIT on the menu, then select COPY.

5. Click on EDIT on the menu, then select PASTE.

 

NOTE: This will make a folder called Copy of Organize, which will contain backups of the files you need. It will also contain copies of several database files, which can get rather large, and are automatically created by the AOL software. Continue with the steps below to remove them.

 

6. Double-Click on the Copy of Organize folder.

7. Click the folder named Cache.

8. Click on File on the menu, then select Delete and answer Yes.

 

NOTE: Now you can move the "Copy of Organize" folder to a safe place such as the desktop, or ZIP disk.

 

8. Close all open windows by clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner of each window.

CLEAN UP HARD DRIVE

C. CLEAN UP THE HARD DRIVE

 

All sorts of programs place files on your hard drive. Some are temporary files a program neglected to clean up, others are copies and logs of changes made to your system by programs such as Scandisk, and still others accumulate as you surf the Internet. What do you do with all these files?

 

Windows 98 has a wonderful applet called the Disk Cleanup Utility. This utility, found in the Start/Accessories/System Tools folder, will help you rid your hard drive of useless space wasting files. The applet is configurable and will let you specify standard types of files it should delete, such as .TMP, .OLD, .BKU, or any file type you supply. It will also clear your Internet cache.

 

NOTE: For Advanced Users - the advanced feature ties into the system, allowing you to remove unwanted Windows component and to uninstall applications that have registered themselves with Uninstall routines. With the Disk Cleanup Utility, finding needed disk space will be a snap.

DEFRAGG

D. DEFRAGMENT YOUR HARD DRIVE

 

Disk Defragmenter rearranges files, storing each file in a block of contiguous space on the hard drive, thus improving read and write time to the disk. You can use Disk Defragmenter with any hard drive or floppy disk that is attached to your system. You can even use the Disk Defragmenter with hard drives that have been compressed with DriveSpace.

 

To defragment your hard drive:

 

1. Open My Computer and right-click the icon for the drive you want to defragment.

2. Choose Properties from the shortcut menu.

3. In the Properties dialog box, click the Tools tab.

4. Click Defragment Now.

 

Disk Defragmenter looks at your drive and tells you what percentage of its space is currently fragmented. If the percentage is low, the program lets you know that you don't need to bother defragmenting at this time. Of course, you can go ahead and defragment anyway if you want to.

FIND THINGS ON COMPUTER

Help Pc people find things...

if you know the name of the file or even the type goto start /find //find file type it in an what is the type of file like TXT

Tip: To play it safe, you can display the destination of the hyperlinks before you click on them. Simply position the cursor over the hyperlink. AOL will display its destination. Links to Web pages will show the Web address or URL. Links to areas on AOL will say "On AOL only." Mac users: hold down the Control key, click on the hyperlink, then choose View address. The hyperlink address will appear. Displaying the destination, before clicking on a hyperlink, is helpful if you're not sure if you should follow the link.

E-mail & Hyperlink Safety

Oftentimes, you'll find hyperlinks (blue, underlined words or phrases that link to AOL or Internet sites) in e-mail messages. Hyperlinks can be used as handy shortcuts to online areas. However, beware of hyperlinks in e-mails from strangers! If you received e-mail with any of the following subject lines, please read this entire article!

 

* Beanie Babys

* AOL Rewards

* Surf The Internet 250% Faster!/Lightening Speeds For AOL Members/ Service Update

* 6000 Free AOL Minutes

* AOL Billing Problem

* !AOL Update! Read Now!

* AOL NetMail 2.0

 

Scammers often use hyperlinks to direct you to Web sites that look like official AOL or AOL.COM pages, but are not. The e-mails and Web pages may claim that you've won a prize or encourage you to sign up for testing of a new product or service. NEVER click on hyperlinks in e-mail sent to you by strangers.

BCC and CC

TO USE Bcc: Click the Cc: box to the left of the space where your receipient's names are shown. After you do this, your address box will show up. Somewhere on this address box you should see the Bcc: button. Simply click on the person's name you want to send your message to and then click Bcc: instead of TO. It works just the same. If you add names from your address book, just add them to the BCC field instead of the TO field. As an added bonus of using this feature, your email message won't have all those addresses at the beginning. No one will have to scroll through the addresses to get to the message that you have sent.

BULLETS

E-mail on AOL doesn't have to be dull. You can make your AOL e-mail #1 with a bullet. Here's how: hold down the Alt key and enter the numbers 249 on the numeric keypad at the right of your keyboard. When you enter the last number, let go of ALT and -- there it is -- a magic bullet like this ·.

MIME ATTACHMENTS

You may have heard the word MIME thrown around amongst your Internet-literate friends. You may even have gotten an e-mail on AOL with a "MIME attachment." You were pretty sure it didn't have anything to do with a guy trapped inside an invisible box (but wouldn't it be funny if if it did?!?!), but you weren't sure what it meant. Well, here's an end to the mystery.

In compu-speak, MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (now you know why most people just say MIME). It's a specification that different e-mail programs use in order to work with other each other. When you send an e-mail with a file attached to someone over the Internet, MIME helps ensure that the recipient gets your attachment in a readable format -- whether it's graphics, sounds, whatever.

Just think of MIME as being like a decoder ring. If both you and your friend have a Batman decoder ring you can decipher each other's messages, but if you have a Batman ring and your friend has a Spiderman ring, you won't be able to understand the messages (unless "iuobt rwe oih" means something to you). MIME is the standard decoder ring that most e-mail programs use.

Sound complicated? Don't worry: AOL does MIME automatically (whew!). All you do is click the Attach (or Attach Files or Attachments) button on your e-mail form, and AOL does the rest. You don't even have to think about it. When you receive an attachment, AOL will also automatically translate most of the popular formats.

Internet Addresses

Internet Addresses Explained: Who@where.what

Look at an Internet address? Weird, isn't it? What were they thinking when they put that "@" sign in there, anyway? And what does "com" mean (or "net," "org," or "edu," for that matter)? You've got questions, and your friend Meg has answers (of course!).

The Internet uses the domain name system to keep track of everyone. An Internet address is actually a set of numbers that lets different computers uniquely identify each person. Because we're people and not computers, we have a hard time remembering numbers (it's why you know your friends by their name and not their social security number). So we use words to identify someone's location. This location is known as an e-mail address.

The point of the e-mail address is to answer three simple questions: Who? Where? and What?

The "who" is the first part of the address: the user name. On AOL, we call that a screen name. (On AOL, your screen name is also your e-mail address. But people sending mail to you from outside AOL will need to use your full Internet address.) The name is followed by the @ symbol (pronounced "at"), which separates the user's name from his or her location. There are at least two parts to this location, separated by a period -- pronounced "dot" in geek-speak.

The first part of the location is the "where": the site -- the name of the organizational network, the service provider, the school, etc. (Your site is AOL.) The second part is the "what": the domain, which generally defines the type of network. For example, EDU is used for schools, COM is used for businesses or commercial organizations, and GOV is used for government organizations.

When you put it all together, you get an e-mail address such as HikeWithMe@aol.com or president@whitehouse.gov. (Yes, that's the President's real e-mail address. Go ahead -- let him know what you're thinking. He works for you, after all).

SEARCH TIPS

 

Getting the Search Results You Want

 

There are a number of ways you can improve your searches at AOL Keyword: Search and get results that more closely match what you're looking for. (Each of these tips is described in more detail below.)

 

- Use a PHRASE rather than a single word

- Use the word NOT to limit results

- Use AND and OR

 

Type in multiple words or a phrase rather than a single word to increase your chances of finding useful results. To match an exact phrase, place quotation marks around your search words. For example: "Football stats" rather than just "Football."

 

Use the word NOT to limit your results to articles containing only the words you want. For example, if you want articles about pets but aren't interested in dogs, search for "pets NOT dogs."

 

"And" vs. "Or"

AND is Automatic: You don't need to use AND to link search words together; you can simply separate them with a space. AOL Search will look for areas or articles that include all of the words you enter. For example, if you enter "cake pudding" you'll find all the areas about cake AND pudding, but not areas just about cake, or just about pudding.

IM OFF

It is reported to me (have not tested firsthand) that First Aid Deluxe for Win 95

will stop ALL GPF's and toxic IM's and Mail. This is a commercial program available at computer stores or through mail order catalogues.

 

1. Simply turn off IMs. If you see any evidence of someone punting others in your room, quickly do the following:

Open a new IM form, address to $im_off, then click on Available. Note that this turns off all IMs. Open them the same way, but address to $im_on.

 

2. Download and install WAOL 2.5; this version of AOL is not so susceptible to some of IM bomb and Invite bomb problems. First block your Buddy List on 3.0; then switch to 2.5 for the time being. Download this software at Keyword:GET25. Note that this is not a perfect solution. You will still need to turn off your IMs, or continue to cancel the bomb until the sender tires of bombing you. Some IM bombs will still lock you up on WAOL 2.5.

 

3. Download the newest version of Power Tools, available from keyword:BPS. The very latest release has an automatic cutoff for the punting IMs. This is shareware, and available by clicking on the SOFTWARE LIBRARY icon at Keyword:BPS. Note: this feature works for some, not all, bombs.

 

4. If you are able to capture a copy of the IMs, please copy and paste the text, even if it contains a large number of blank spaces, and report at Keyword:TOS, OTHER button, IM Violations report area. If the IM is too large, send to screen name TOSGeneral but please make sure you include: the name of the bomber; the date of the offense; the time of the offense (AM/PM, what time zone you're in); the name of the room; a clip of the bomber's IM if you have managed to log or otherwise save it.

 

You can also report the lines of text the punters often send to chat at the time they send their IM bombs. Copy and paste those "brag lines" from screen and report to Keyword:NOTIFY AOL, CHAT button, and then click on SEND THIS REPORT.

BACK TO TOP


INVITE BOMBS

INVITE BOMBS:

 

If someone is sending you Invite bombs,the Power Tools software (Keyword:BPS) can sometimes handle that situation.

 

But if you don't have that software, chat with your IMs turned off and your Buddy List blocked. You CAN sometimes just block your Buddy List and then continue with IMs on, if you have a command set up to turn off IMs (see above) and think you can turn off your IMs fast enough.

 

To block Buddy INVITE bombs... turn off IMs and block your Buddy Lists. To turn off IMs, open a new IM and send to $im_off...add anything at all to the text box and send. To block the Buddy List, go to SET UP, then PREFERENCES.

REPORT TOS

How to report Terms of Service Violations and Ignore Offensive Members:

 

PASSWORD SOLICITATION: If someone asks you for your password either in Email or in Instant Messages, please go to Keyword: NOTIFY AOL and select the "Password" button to report it. NEVER give out your password... even if the person asking for it appears to look like AOL staff. They are not AOL staff!!!

 

INSTANT MESSAGES: If someone is sending you harassing instant messages, you can report it by going to Keyword: NOTIFY AOL. Select the "Other" button, and at the next window, choose "IM Violations."

 

OFFENSIVE CHAT ROOM DISCUSSION: You may report chat that violates TOS by going to Keyword: NOTIFY AOL and selecting the "Chat" button. Follow the directions posted, and you will have a choice to send the offensive chat into TOS, summon a Guide to the chat room, or both.

AOL EMAIL WITH OBJECTIONABLE FILES ATTATCHED: To report offensive email with files attatched such as hacker programs or pictures with offensive content, please forward the email to screen name: TOSFiles.

OTHER AOL EMAIL: If you're recieving offensive email without files attatched such as vulgar remarks, unsolicited advertising, or chain letters from other AOL members, please foward the email to screen name: TOSEmail1.

INTERNET EMAIL SPAM: Offensive Internet email can be forwarded to screen name TOSSpam.

OTHER: To report objectional AOL web pages, message board violations, or screen name/profile violations, please go to Keyword: NOTIFY AOL, choose the "Other" button, and then click on the appropriate button at the following window.

Steps you can take to avoid offensive members:

INSTANT MESSAGES: You can temporaily disable incoming instant messages by sending an instant message to screen name: $im_off (and be sure to click the "available" button too.) To turn them back on later, repeat the process but send the instant message to screen name: $im_on

BLOCKING OFFENSIVE CHAT: If you're in a chat room and you really don't care to see a particular member's disruptive chat on your monitor, highlight and click (or doubleclick) on the member's name in the list of members in the room, then click on the IGNORE option. Their chat will not show up on your monitor.

BLOCKING INCOMING EMAIL: You can block email from specific people you really don't want to hear from. To find out more about this feature, please go to Keyword: MAIL CONTROLS. (The mail blocking features can be only activated while you're logged on with your AOL account's master screen name... the one you first chose when you signed up with AOL.)

BlueLock

BlueLock Password Stealer..

Ok...now dont panic... a member had this happen to her... but it DID NOT happen through this list....It is a password stealer.. thought I best send this to you all should it happen to you!! A blue lock will appear... here is how you get rid of it....<written by a member from another list>.... You might want to file this in the event.... ya never know...

-------------------Ohhhhkay, I wrote this last night, and got a picture of the password stealer. If anybody has seen this on their screen, it means their password has been stolen. The little lock on this picture spins around, and the picture only pops up when either you sign off or are booted from AOL.

Here's how to deal with it......

There's only one way to find out if you have that trojan, the one that has stolen a password. No antivirus program that I know of will pick it up. If you got the above picture on your screen (not the store your password box, but one that looks like it)... then your password has been stolen already. What you need to do is....

1. go into explorer by right clicking on the start button and hitting explore.

2. scroll up to the AOL folder, and click on the + sign next to it.

3. open the "organize" folder. If there is something that looks like this ____tttt

or ___llll

at the top of the list of screen names there, then that is the infectious file. There may even be two of them.

ok, now how to get rid of them....

1. highlight them and send them to the recycle bin.

2. scroll through the list of screen names in the organize folder and delete ANY that are not ones that you have made on your account. There will be 2 files for each screen name... the screen name itself, and then a partial screen name and some numbers after it. For instance, mine would look like this... 1st file: MYD40 2nd file: MYD40LRL Those are legitimate files. Any with names you don't recognize need to be highlighted and deleted.

3. In explorer, hit the + sign next to the organize folder, and then open up the "cache" folder underneath it.

4. Do the same exercise here, deleting the _____ttt or ____lll files, and any unfamiliar name files.

5. Close out of explorer, and EMPTY THE RECYCLE BIN.

6. Reboot the computer.

7. Start up AOL, and sign on to every screen name. If the passwords aren't stored, be sure to type in the WRONG password the first time, and then type in the correct one when it asks you to redo it. Go to My AOL, passwords, and change the password for each screen name.

Now you can go back to explorer, and the organize folder, to make sure that the infectious files are gone. Should be allllll set. :)

TIP: SIGN ON WITH A FAVORITE PLACE

By default, AOL opens the Welcome page and Channels menu when you sign

on. But you can go directly to one of your favorite places instead.

Launch AOL, but before you click the Sign On button, select the

Favorites menu from the toolbar and choose the place you want to go.

When you do, AOL automatically signs on and take you there.

DEFRAGG LINK

Defragmenting a hard disk takes some time, so it's not something you'd want

to do

unnecessarily. Unfortunately, the version of Disk Defragmenter that comes

with Microsoft Windows 98 does not report whether your hard disk actually

needs defragmenting. This utility nicely handles this oversite.

 

DEFRAG UTILITY - CrackUp <free>

http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/pctech/content/17/19/ut1719.001.htm

 

It runs under both Windows 95 and Windows 98, addresses all of these

drawbacks as well as calculating the fragmentation percentage. It also can

run in the background to check fragmentation at intervals and warn you if

any disk exceeds the specified fragmentation level.

When Web Sites Don't Load

 

Many Web sites simply can't handle all of the requests they receive during peak usage times. From 2 PM - 10 PM, millions of people try to contact Web sites whose servers can't manage the load. Which is why, on occasion, you can't get through. Fortunately, people come and go from Web sites all the time, so if you can't connect at first, it's a good idea to try again.

Try back at least three times before giving up. You do this by clicking the Reload button. (The Reload button is the three-quarter circle arrow at the top of your Web window.) This tells your AOL Web browser to try to connect with the Web site again. Wait a few seconds between each try, and with good luck, you'll get through. If your patience doesn't pay off, try back again later in the evening or early in the morning when the traffic is likely to have died down.

Note: If you visit a particular Web site frequently and the site's content changes regularly, get in the habit of reloading the page each time you go there. If you don't click the Reload button, your browser may serve up old content that it has stored (cached) previously.
