What to Look For When Choosing a GPS

All you probably really need from a system is the ability to get from point a to point b, but once you start using one you'll realize you do have some preferences over your devices features. Before you start your search you can look over some of the available features, figure out what you like, and what to look for when choosing a GPS.

Some of the features available include newer features like touch screens, various kinds of dash hook ups, and smaller sizes. Touch screens make navigating the system easier than ever before. Each device is set up in your car in a different way--some are hooked up to your windshield, some are permanently attached to your dashboard, and others hook onto your dashboard with a suction cup. Deciding how you want it hooked into your vehicle is a big decision that will help narrow down your options when choosing a GPS. These systems come in all different sizes, some screens as small as 3.5 inches. 
These are just a few examples



Navigation abilities are very convenient. With a lot of units you can put in an unspecific destination, such as gas station or hospital, and your system will find the nearest ones for you. This is a great feature because often you don't really know where it is you want to go but know what you're looking for, and your system can save you time getting there. 

If you have preferences about how to get where you're going, for instance you want to avoid highways or toll roads, or you want the shortest distance or the shortest traveling time, you can put that preference in and your device will find you a route that works for you. This is a fairly common feature these days and one that should be easy to find. 

When you're considering getting a new system think about your own needs and make a list of what you'd like to help yourself decide what to look for when choosing a GPS.

The Basic Facts Of Antivirus

Antivirus or anti-virus software is used to prevent, detect, and remove computer viruses, worms, and trojan horses. It may also prevent and remove adware, spyware, and other forms of malware. This page talks about the software used for the prevention and removal of such threats, rather than computer security implemented by software methods.

A variety of strategies are typically employed. Signature-based detection involves searching for known patterns of data within executable code. However, it is possible for a computer to be infected with new malware for which no signature is yet known. To counter such so-called zero-day threats, heuristics can be used. One type of heuristic approach, generic signatures, can identify new viruses or variants of existing viruses by looking for known malicious code, or slight variations of such code, in files. Some antivirus software can also predict what a file will do by running it in a sandbox and analyzing what it does to see if it performs any malicious actions.

No matter how useful antivirus software can be, it can sometimes have drawbacks. Antivirus software can impair a computer's performance. Inexperienced users may also have trouble understanding the prompts and decisions that antivirus software presents them with. An incorrect decision may lead to a security breach. If the antivirus software employs heuristic detection, success depends on achieving the right balance between false positives and false negatives. False positives can be as destructive as false negatives. Finally, antivirus software generally runs at the highly trusted kernel level of the operating system, creating a potential avenue of attack.

Error Filesharing

If you find a problem with the network when going to share files and exit warning
"Not Enough Server Storage is Available to Process This Command"

 click for larger image

Solving this problem requires a Registry edit:

Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regedit, and then click OK.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
\LanmanServer\Parameters
In the right pane, double-click the IRPStackSize value.
Important: If the IRPStackSize value does not already exist, you will need to create it:
- In the Parameters folder of the registry, right-click the right pane.
- Point to New, and then click DWord Value.
- Type IRPStackSize.

Important: Type "IRPStackSize" exactly as it is displayed because the value name is case-sensitive.

Change the Base to decimal.
In the Value Data box, type a value that is larger than the value that is listed.
If you created the IRPStackSize value using the procedure described in step 4, the default value is 15. It is recommended that you increase the value by 3. Therefore, if the previous value was 11, type 14, and then click OK. (I change mine to 16 , it work)
Close the Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.
If the problem persists after you complete the preceding procedure, try to increase the value of IRPStackSize even more up to a maximum value for Windows 2000/XP of 50 (0x32 hex).

If you are running Windows NT 4.0, and the problem persists after you complete the preceding procedure, you may have to apply Windows NT Service Pack 4 or Service Pack 5.
