Easy Troubleshooting with LookInMyPC

Troubleshooting your PC is not a very easy job unless you are a geek, but with LookInMyPC, a freeware tool, you can easily generate a report of your PC in current state. The report includes in all hardware and also all installed software on your PC. This free application generates a complete system report with more than 40 areas of diagnostics. You can select the options for checking before actually running the test. The test takes only few minutes and you will be provided with a detailed report.

LookInMyPC utilizes a simple, easy to use user interface that allows you to select the items you are most interested in. One of the most useful features is the ability to email reports to a tech savvy friend or even a tech support professional. When you select this option, LookInMyPC will generate the report and display it in your browser the same way as it would if you selected "Generate Report". At the same time, it will also create a ZIP file of the report and open up your default email program and create a new message with the zipped LookInMyPC profile already attached to the message.

Keyboard Not Working

When you suddenly found your keyboard behaving badly, say, the keys sometimes types well and sometimes it misses out on many letters. When this situation arises, the question is what are you to do?

This is the perfect time to use a built in feature already included with Windows 7. Aptly called "On-Screen Keyboard", it can be operated by a click of a mouse.

To get started, click on windows key and type "osk" without quotes on the search bar and you will get the screen shown below.

 Even though it may lack some features compared to a normal keyboard, it is an important alternative to your problematic hardware.

Track Your Stolen Laptop Via Internet

Your laptop? Expensive. Your data? Priceless. Even the most casual users have important data stored in their computer to some degree, say, all the passwords saved on your browser without a master key.

Just imagine someone with your laptop and perusing all you sensitive data without sagacity. Nightmarish, isn't it?

  

Thanks to PREY application, that fear can be eliminated.

Prey is a small utility with minimal footprints that sits on your computer silently. You won’t be able to find any icons or launchers of Prey after installing, as to make sure the hooligan is unaware that he’s being watched.

All options are controlled via the web based panel. You can select some or all of these information to be gathered in your missing device’s report.

    * Location (via GPS or WiFi triangulation)
    * Hardware and network status
    * Webcam image of the thieve
    * Screenshot
    * Running programs and modified files
    * Lock down your PC
    * etc…

Prey works on Windows, Mac OS, Ubuntu, Linux and Android. You can track up to 3 devices and store up to 10 reports on a free account, which suffice for personal use.

Prey can be installed on a cellphone, too. Check their website at http://preyproject.com/
