2 Comments | 655 views Its third time in a row that it happened. My desktop has started acting weird again. The same old Fast Forwarding issue. OK, let me explain the problem to you in detail. Actually what happens is as soon as I boot up my PC, Every thing will start working super fast. As if the time is running 50 times faster on Windows. Apart from the boot sequence (that black screen with some scrolling white text on it 
) everything is blazing fast.
Now I would not have mind the problem, if it was not effecting my Keyboard and mouse movements. 1 keystroke on keyboard will give 50 odd impressions. System Clock will run as if I am watching a movie in fast forward mode. Here is a video for your reference that I captured, after the break.

9 Comments | 22,421 views I was in such a mess for the last 2 weeks. I had installed windows again and was not able to get my Wireless Adapter to work. It is Netgear WG311v3. I tried downloading Netgear’s official Windows 7 supporting drivers as well but still no go. Then after searching here and there found a solution. Now the Wifi seems to be working fine on my Windows 7 x32. I am providing the steps for you to install in case you are also wondering like me.
Important Note: I have 4GB RAM installed on my PC. Just found out the reason why it was not working with the official version of drivers is because of high RAM capacity. Anyways, here is the solution in case you also happen to have more then 2GB RAM.

Well, I wanted to write about it for a long time but was not able to gather the data around it. Today I got to search the internet. I have been quite busy lately. The thing is that at this point of time Google dominates the Search Engine market. Therefore most of the SEOs or people like me who are trying to learn this trick want to get their pages up on google. Now as per the stats, Microsoft holds the largest share in OS and Browser field. Now coming October this year when Microsoft launches Windows 7 they will have Internet Explorer 8 shipped with it. And with Internet Explorer 8 they will ship the default search Engine and that will be Bing.

I recently got an opportunity to talk to my PC and I did not miss the opportunity to take an interview.
Kuldeep : Why do people call you PC ? Is that your real name ?
PC : PC is not my actual name its an abbreviation of Personal Computer.
Kuldeep : OK, Do you have any other name ? I mean pet names.
PC : Yeah, actually I have several pet names. Persoanl Computer is used for machines like me that are used in homes.
Kuldeep : Can you name some ?
PC : Ofcourse ! People like to call me System, computer, machine etc.
Kuldeep : How old are you ?
PC : Well I am not that old ? I am just 6 months old. Are you talking about me specifically or the history of me.
Kuldeep : Favorite Outfit ?
PC : I prefer to be naked as I am so hot.
Kuldeep : Yeah, I mean for how long you’ve been here ? The other half ?
PC : I was actually conceptualized by Chales Babbage for professional usage only. At that time we used to be very expensive. Then came IBM. They wanted to make Computers personal, so in 1980s IBM introduced Personal Computers.
Kuldeep : So how would you describe the changes ever since ?
PC : Just one single word. Drastic especially in the last decade. If you see the initial PCs were like a huge suitcase and if you hear the configuration, you would laugh. It ran on anI Intel 8088 @ 4.77 MHz CPU with Memory 16 kB ~ 256 kB and had DOS Basic. And now these parts are not even manufactured. We don’t even talk about in kbs. We’ve gone miles ahead and talking in peta bytes. Look at me I am running with 2 gigabyte of memory with almost 2 tera bytes of hard drive and lets not even talk about the CPU.
Kuldeep : Well, that was an amazing fact; so where do you see yourself 5 years down the lane ?
PC : Me ? You must be joking and you know that very well. I am not going to stay with you for more than 2 years. I will be replaced with a newer faster version of PC. We are living in an exponential time. Everything is just rapid fast. Its predicted that by 2049 a $1000 PC will exceed the computational Power of the entire Human species.
Kuldeep : Whoa ! Is that correct ?
PC : Well its a prediction and I second that. Just go back a year and see the situation. Everything was so damn costly. Now as you’ve moved on things are cheaper and powerful. So yes I think it will come true and I feel it will be way early than predicted.
Kuldeep : Alright. Do you have family ? Are you married.
PC : You must be joking right. Marriage ! Well We’ve been single ever since. We were designed to serve the humans. We don’t get married. We only marry to people like you who divorce us after some time. Our life is very short.
Kuldeep : So you’ve got no one ?
PC : You can’t say that I’ve got no one. I have so many brothers and big brothers around the world.
Kuldeep : Where are they ? Can I meet them and say Hi ? Can I take their interview as well. I would like to hear their story as well ?
PC : Well they are everywhere. Servers, Laptops and Datacenters. They are all my siblings. We all work together if connected. You know, you would not have been this much intelligent if we were not born.
Kuldeep : What do you mean by that ?
PC : I mean look at people now. There is something called Internet. Have you heard about it ? I guess, Yes. So We guys are connected to each other and we offer various kinds of service. If One stores data then the other one processes. We provide all kinds of information to people in need. That is why you are intelligent. We are the most used source of communication between you guys.
Kuldeep : Well that is true. You guys have simply been outstanding in your work. OK Can we have a rapid fire round if you don’t mind ?
PC : Sure, go ahead. But please hurry up. I am about to sleep. Its my sleep time.
Kuldeep : OK, I will finish it in 2 miutes.
PC : Shoot then !
Kuldeep : What is your biggest fear ?
PC : Virus
Kuldeep : What do you love most ?
PC : Windows
Kuldeep : Your favorite past time ?
PC : Playing movies and songs.
Kuldeep : Your Inspiration ?
PC : I wanna be a Mac.
Kuldeep : Your Preferred User ?
PC : Girls
Kuldeep : Favorite drink ?
PC : I prefer Liquid Nitrogen, it keeps me cool.
Kuldeep : Favorite Destination ?
PC : Under the table
Kuldeep : Well thanks alot PC. I am really grateful to you. I appreciate you taking out some time from your busy schedule.
PC : My pleasure.
