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.
Stopping ActiveX problems
ActiveX, a method for adding functionality to Internet Explorer, gives developers lots of freedom when it comes to making web applications for Internet users. Unfortunately, it also brings with it lots of bugs that can cause errors while you're using the Internet. Read our article on how to stop ActiveX errors by tweaking your system.

- Useful PC Help Resources Ok, this one is pretty obvious, but it cannot be stressed enough. It does not matter if you are an expert or a novice, Google really should be one of the first places you look, and even if you cannot find anything immediately, persistence using this great tool will do you well.
- How To Use Virtual Memory to Speed Up Your Computer Even though virtual memory is an old concept, very few users understand what it means and how to manipulate it. On Windows, virtual memory is usually referred to as a "Paging File". Linux users will recognize virtual memory as their swap partition. Macintosh OS X uses some of the same virtual memory management technology as the Linux/UNIX family of operating systems.
- Fixing Runtime Errors Because runtime errors (or run time errors) are specific to each program running on your computer, determining the cause of a runtime error is very difficult. Usually, when an application throws a runtime error, it will provide additional information. The error may say something like "Runtime Error: abnormal program termination", or "A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?". Sometimes, when the JavaScript code on a web page fails to execute correctly, it may say something like "Error: Object required". It is important to always record all of the information presented in the error message before proceeding, as well as note what you were doing when the error occurred.
