aking your Laptop to the Next Level by Adding Memory
By: Grant Eckert
When you're on the road a lot and you need to access your work or just the internet, your laptop becomes a crucial part of your life. It's the accessory that you just can't live without. But while bringing your laptop with you will make things more convenient for you, are you really getting all that you need from this portable computer?
Signs You Might be Cheating Yourself
Your laptop is only as good as the features it includes. When you first buy a laptop, it's all shiny and new, but after you've used it a few times, you may find that you need more and more from it in order to work as well as it did in the beginning. If you're noticing these signs, you might be ready for some laptop upgrades:
* Your laptop crashes more often than it used to
* Your laptop doesn't run programs as quickly
* You have troubles opening multiple files at the same time
* Your computer stalls
* You can't save as much on the hard drive
Your laptop is supposed to make your life easier, but when you're suffering from issues like these, it's harder to utilize it in the most efficient ways possible.
Diagnosing the Problem
When your laptop isn't running as well as you would like, your first instinct may be to think that you need to replace your laptop with a newer model – but this isn't always the case. If you're not completely computer literate or if you've never fixed your computer before, you might want to get a second opinion on the diagnosis of the problem – via your computer's manufacturer. Call their support team to see if you can figure out what the problem is by running the laptop through various tests.
While this seems like a time consuming step, you may find out that you are actually just suffering from a program installation issue or perhaps a virus that has gotten into your hard drive. These are fairly simple fixes, but if you're not aware of how to detect them, they can prove frustrating.
However, in many cases, these aren't even the main problems you are having. That's when you need to consider the idea of adding memory to your laptop.
Adding Memory, Adding Power
Your laptop is a smaller version of your desktop, but that doesn't mean that it can't work just as well. If you've determined that your problems aren't being caused by viruses or software problems, you might want to consider adding memory. This can help reduce the burden of the memory that is being used by your laptop and allow you to have faster running programs and fewer crashes.
Memory is what is needed to give 'space' for programs to run. If you're not giving your laptop enough space in which to run programs, they will have troubles running.
When you have more memory on your laptop, you will be able to:
* Run 'heavier' programs like games and music players
* Watch DVDs and online videos without interruptions
* Store more information on your hard drive
* Reduce or eliminate the system crashes
* Run multiple programs at the same time
How to Boost Your Computer
To see how much memory you can add to your laptop, you will again need to contact the manufacturer. They can walk you through a simple process of finding the maximum memory storage for your laptop by looking at your unique laptop settings. These vary from laptop to laptop, so checking with the help desk or owner's manual is the best way to find them.
Once you find the memory capabilities, you will want to either send your laptop into the help center to have them install the memory for you. This is generally recommended if you don't have a lot of experience with computers and when you don't need to have your laptop immediately. You can also bring it to a computer repair center to see if they can install the memory for you.
But in reality, installing memory for a laptop is quite simple. All you need to do (for most models) is remove a small piece on the underside of the laptop and replace the memory chips that are in there at the moment. Depending on the model, you might need to place multiple sticks in there or just one. This is done with the computer off and unplugged, and then the cover is replaced, your laptop is turned back on, and you are ready to go.
You can take your laptop to the next level when you add memory – and quite often, you can do this on your own. You will need to purchase the memory from a qualified dealer of your brand's memory to be sure it works with the system you have.

Installing devices overview
In terms of ease of installation, devices can be roughly divided into two groups: Plug and Play and non-Plug and Play. Most devices manufactured since 1995 are Plug and Play. A Plug and Play device is one you should be able to attach to your computer and begin using right away, and not have to manually configure.
How can you tell if your device is Plug and Play? Plug and Play devices often have connectors that look like this:
Installing a new device, whether it's Plug and Play or non-Plug and Play, typically involves up to three steps:
Connecting to your computer.
Loading the appropriate device drivers. If your device is Plug and Play, this step may not be necessary.
Configuring device properties and settings. If your device is Plug and Play, this step may not be necessary.
Whether your device is Plug and Play or non-Plug and Play, you should follow the device manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure that it functions properly. This may require you to shut down and unplug your computer, and then connect the device to the appropriate port or insert it into the appropriate slot.
If the device does not automatically work, it is non-Plug and Play, or it is a necessary startup device like the hard disk, you may have to restart your computer. Windows then attempts to detect your new device.
If Windows does not successfully find your new hardware, you must use the Add Hardware Wizard in Control Panel to tell Windows what type of device you are installing. The Add Hardware Wizard may ask you to insert media (such as a compact disc or floppy disk) if any were provided with the device. The Add Hardware Wizard is primarily used for installing non-Plug and Play devices.
After Windows detects the device, or you identify the device using the Add Hardware Wizard, Windows tries to find and install the correct driver for the device.
First, Windows searches for the driver on your computer's hard disk and on the device manufacturer's floppy disk or compact disc, if one is inserted into a disk drive. If the driver is found in either of these places, Windows installs it.
If Windows doesn't find a driver, and your computer is connected to the Internet, Windows searches for one on the Microsoft Web site. For the latest updates, including security fixes, service packs, new Help files, and device drivers, see Windows Update in Help and Support Center. If the driver is found on the Windows Update site, Windows copies and installs it onto your computer. If your computer is not connected to the Internet, Windows displays a message prompting you to connect to the Internet.
If Windows cannot find the driver on the Windows Update site, the Found New Hardware Wizard will be displayed and will prompt you to insert any media (such as compact discs or floppy disks) that were provided with the device. If the driver is located there, Windows installs it onto your computer.
Warning
After the device drivers are loaded onto your system, Windows configures the properties and settings for the device. Although you can manually configure device properties and settings, you should let Windows do it. When you manually configure properties and settings, the settings become fixed, which means Windows cannot modify them in the future if a problem arises or there is a conflict with another device.
Important
You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to install a device if:
The device driver does not have the Designed for Windows Logo or a digital signature.
Further action is required to install the device, requiring Windows to display a user interface.
The device driver is not already on your computer.
You need to use the Add Hardware Wizard in Control Panel to install a device. The Add Hardware Wizard is typically needed to install non-Plug and Play devices.
Your computer is connected to a network; network policy settings may also prevent you from installing hardware.

How To repair a PC
It's bound to happen sooner or later: you turn on the old computer, and something that was working fine before is no longer working at all, or is having weird problems.Whether it's your modem, your sound card, a scanner, or some other device in or connec
To find out exactly how you should go about troubleshooting your computer, choose which one of the following scenarios describes your situation:
1) I just installed this device. This is the first time I've ever had this kind of device in my computer.
2) I just installed this device to replace an old device of the same kind.
3) I haven't changed anything. This device just stopped working. Regardless of which situation describes you, ask yourself a few key questions:
-Did I install the driver for this device?
Almost all new hardware will require you to install a "device driver". A device driver is a program that tells Windows how to control, or "drive" the device.
-After installing the device, did I check for conflicts in the Device Manager?
Just because Windows appeared to install the device just fine, doesn't necessarily mean that it's not conflicting (that is, getting in the way of) another device in your computer.
If you have not installed the driver, do that first. Your hardware Should have come with a How-To guide (sometimes called Getting Started) that will explain how to install the driver. If it did not, or if you no longer have the manual, see 'Scenario [3]' for instructions on how to reinstall the driver.
If you have installed the driver, but don't know how to check for conflicts, see the section further down entitled "Resolving Device Conflicts."
Scenario 1:
I just installed this device. This is the first time I've ever had this kind of device in my computer.
After having installed the driver and checked for conflicts with other devices, if your device still is not working properly, there are two things you can do:
1) Go to the manufacturer's website (which is usually shown in the device's documentation), and download the latest driver for the device. You will usually find driver updates in a section of the website called "Support" if there is not a specific section on the main page for downloading new drivers.
2) After having installed that latest driver, if the device still does not work, try installing the device in a friend's computer. If it does not work in another computer, either, you might have gotten a bad device. This does happen. We occasionally receive equipment here that was tested before it left from the vendor, but may have been damaged during shipping. Hopefully you kept the receipt and can return the item.
Scenario 2:
I installed this device to replace an old device of the same kind.
After having installed the driver and checked for conflicts with other devices, if your device still is not working properly, ask yourself the following two questions:
Did I remove/disable the old device before I installed the new one?
When installing a new modem, for example, it is always a good idea to remove the old one, especially you are working with an old computer, because the old modem may not be Plug-N-Play, and so that could cause trouble.
Did I remove the old device driver before installing the new one?
Even if you took the old device out of the computer, or unplugged it from the computer, you may still need to remove the drive for the old device to avoid hidden conflicts. Do the following:
- Right-click on 'My Computer' on your desktop and choose 'Properties'.
- A window will appear that says 'System Properties.' Click on the tab at the top of the window that says 'Device Manager.'
- Double-click on the type of device that is giving you problems (i.e., if you installed a new modem, double-click on the 'Modem' icon, if it's a sound card, double-click on the 'Sound, video and game controllers' icon.)
- Single-click on the driver for the OLD device, and then click the button that says 'Remove'.
- Restart your computer.
If that does not solve your problem, follow the two steps outlined under 'Scenario [1]' above, downloading and installing the latest driver from the manufacturer and trying the device in another computer.
Scenario 3:
I haven't changed anything: the device just stopped working. After having installed the driver and checked for conflicts with other devices, if your device still is not working properly, you will want to remove the driver (see 'Scenario [2]' above for detailed instructions on how to remove the driver), and then reinstall the driver from off of the diskette or CD that came with the device.
DO NOT LET WINDOWS JUST FIND AND INSTALL ITS OWN COPY OF THE DRIVER.
If, after rebooting the computer, Windows "finds" your new hardware and installs the driver for it (which you don't want it to do in case there is something wrong with the driver), do the following:
If your device came with a CD-ROM, put the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and wait for a few seconds to see if a menu will pop-up. A menu should pop up because Windows has what is called an 'Autorun' feature that will automatically run the program on the CD (or play a music CD) once you put it in the drive. When the menu appears, see if there is an option to install the driver. If you cannot find one, or if the device came with a floppy diskette, do the following:
- Right-click on 'My Computer' on your desktop and choose 'Properties'.
- A window will appear that says 'System Properties.' Click on the tab at the top of the window that says 'Device Manager.'
- Double-click on the type of device that is giving you problems (i.e., if you installed a new modem, double-click on the 'Modem' icon, if it's a sound card, double-click on the 'Sound, video and game controllers' icon.) - Single-click on the driver for the OLD device, and then click the button that says 'Properties'.
- A window will appear that has the name of the device on it.Click on the 'Driver' tab at the top of the window, and then click on the 'Update Driver' button.
- The 'Update Device Driver' wizard will appear. Click 'Next'.
- Make sure 'Search for a better driver' is selected, and then click 'Next' again.
- If your device came with a floppy diskette, click the box next to 'Floppy Disk drives' so that there is a check-mark in it. If your device came on a CD-ROM, click the box next to 'CD-ROM drives' so that there is a check-mark in it. If it is located somewhere else, click the box next to 'Specify a Location' and type in the path to the driver.
- Be sure that you have the diskette or CD-ROM in the drive before clicking 'Next' again.
- If there is more than one driver on the diskette or CD-ROM, Windows will ask you to choose which one you want to install. Select the one that you need (it will usually match the name on the box for the device) and then click 'Next'. If you are not given a list, but Windows tells you that it is ready to install the device, then click 'Next'.
- Windows will now install your device. You will probably have to restart the computer after it is done.
Check now reinstalled device for conflicts.

How to install a Windows Driver properly and avoid possible problems?
Drivers, once found need to be installed. Updating the drivers is a straightforward process, once you’ve been shown how to do it. Here we’re going to look at installing drivers on Windows XP, though despite the differences, all the Windows versions have some common features so you should have no trouble figuring it out if you don’t run XP. Before we start there is one key thing we need check for the driver installation to go smoothly. Have you got the right driver? Don’t be tempted to use the NT driver for an XP computer, nor is it worth using a driver that is designed for a model that is ‘close but not quite the same’ as your piece of hardware. If it’s an external piece of hardware the model number etc are usually on there somewhere, either on top or maybe under the unit (where you’ll often find the serial number), so check them. Also think about if you really need to change over your driver, particularly if you’re considering something with a BETA in the title. Take this to mean unstable (beta means ‘in testing’ or unstable in computer jargon, sometimes the bugs aren’t ironed out). I personally wouldn’t consider a beta version driver if the driver I’m already using is doing the job. Okay, let’s assume that you’ve found the driver on the internet. The first thing you need to do is download it. As with all downloads you need to be able to find it again once you’ve downloaded it. It might be worth saving it to the desktop or even to a new folder you made called ‘drivers’. Whatever works for you. The other option is that you have the driver on a floppy or CD Rom that came with the device – this is even easier: usually you just put it in the drive and follow the instructions. Drivers these days come in two distinct types. The easiest for the general user are those drivers that come as part of an executable file (one that ends with .exe). It’s a good idea to scan the file with your virus scanner before doing anything, particularly if you’ve downloaded it. Once you’ve done that, just double click on the file name. It should do the rest – as always read any questions that it asks you. When it stops doing things, it’s done. Often it will ask you to restart Windows for the change to take effect. The other type isn’t self-running like this and you’ll need to install them manually. This isn’t that hard however, and we’ll go through it step by step. First you need to find the ‘Device Manager’. If you don’t know where this is then click on ‘Start’ (bottom left hand corner of the XP screen), then click ‘Control Panel’, click ‘Performance and Maintenance’ and then click on ‘System’. You’ll get a new window that has multiple tabs. Click on the tab called ‘Hardware’ and you’ll see the device manager – click on the name to bring it up. This method is similar in all windows set ups, and all work from a command line instead – to do this go to ‘Start’, choose ‘Run’ and type devmgmt.msc in the box. This will also bring up the device manager. From here it’s pretty much following instructions. The device manager lists all the devices you have and you can double click on them to bring up a further window that lists the device properties. Click the tab for driver and you get all the details you need. You’re looking at ‘Update Driver’, and normally you want to say no to the suggestion that Windows initiates a search via the Microsoft website because you already have the disc or file. Select no thanks, and click next. If you have the disc you choose it on the next screen, if you are looking for the file you’ve downloaded choose the option to select from a list (don’t be put off by the word ‘advanced’). The next screen again offers to search for you, again you decline the offer. Having chosen ‘don’t search’ you can use the button on the right below the list (called ‘have disc’). This opens a familiar dialogue just like all the windows file open boxes. Find the driver files where you stored them - you’re looking for the file that ends .inf. Double click on it and wait for the installation to finish -don’t interrupt the installation. You’ll probably have noticed that in the device manager window there was an option to return to the previous driver. This is what you need to use if updating the driver seems to have made things worse. And that’s it, you’ve installed the new driver.
