Tweaking virtual memory
If you're trying to get the most out of your system - especially if it's a few years old - it's critical that you tweak your virtual memory settings. Virtual memory, a technology operating systems use that allows them to artificially increase the amount of RAM your computer thinks it has, is a great way to breath life in to an aging or sluggish PC.

- What is NetDDE.exe? Netdde.exe is the image name for the Windows Network Dynamic Data Exchange server. The Network Dynamic Data Exchange server is an extension of Windows' built-in Dynamic Data Exchange, which is a technology that Windows programmers can use to make their applications communicate between each other. This network extension was created by a company operating out of California named Wonderware. According to this Wikipedia article, parts of NetDDE were licensed by Microsoft from WonderWare and included in Windows versions from Windows for Workgroups all the way to Windows XP.
- What is Boot.exe? The question now becomes, which one do I have? Well, if you are like most people, and you are running a version of windows newer than Windows 98, you are probably in luck. This worm usually affects Windows 95 and Windows 98 computers that have file sharing enabled (which is pretty much all of them!), but later versions of Windows are more secure in this department.
- Fixing Screen Resolution Errors The term 'screen resolution' refers to the number of picture elements, known as 'pixels', that your monitor displays. Common resolutions have acronyms representing the number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels.
