  ~ A Tip A Day ~
 {ERG} ~ A Tip A Day ~ In many ways, XP is the most reliable and user-friendly version of Windows to date. However, it is not without problems. If you use XP on a regular basis, you’ve probably been infected once or twice by Windows Fever — a serious condition marked by elevated blood pressure, sudden verbal outbursts at your computer screen, and the mad desire to toss your entire PC out a window. If you are currently experiencing these symptoms, step away from your computer, count to 10 (better yet, make it 1,000), and start visiting this thread everyday for:
A TIP A DAY - ANOTHER QUALITY RELEASE FROM YOUR FAVORITE {ERG} GROUP.
If you haven’t contracted the disease yet, consider yourself lucky. With a good diet, regular exercise, and the digital preventive medicine that I will be sharing with you all, you can expect to remain free of the fever. PLEASE NOTE THAT NONE OF THESE TIPS HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY WRITTEN BY ME (though I have tried and used successfully quite a few) THEY HAVE ALL BEEN COLLECTED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES IN MY SOJOURNS THROUGH THAT WIDE AND WONDERFUL PLACE WE CALL THE INTERNET. 30 September 2007
Close an Unresponsive Program
Occasionally, a program may throw the digital equivalent of a temper tantrum and refuse to close.When that happens, you can force it to shut down by using the Task Manager, as follows:
1. Simultaneously press the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys on your keyboard, which opens the Windows Task Manager. (However, if your version of Windows is configured differently, then pressing these keys might open a Windows Security box. In that case, simply click the Task Manager button.)
2. Click the Applications tab.
3. Click the name of the unresponsive program.
4. At the bottom of the Task Manager, click the End Task button.
5. If the troubled program doesn’t close immediately, a message alerts you that the program is not responding. Click the End Now button.
6. If the program still does not respond, or if Windows feels sluggish, then shut down your computer and restart it.
