Well,

This issue is like a death sentence for a healthy running PC. All of sudden without a reason(?) the computer fails to boot up and show a variety of messages.  Our most valuable data will be in the harddisk and there could not be seen any way to TAKE UP THE BACKUP because computer fails to boot EVEN IN SAFEMODE.

We shall see later what could be done in this case, but before that there is some probability to avoid this kind of situations. Windows crashes means either basically for two reasons one is software and other is hardware.

When the drivers of the hardware corrupts/conflicts/failed to load etc., the system crashes out of this hardware drivers problem.

When you find some time do this 1 min setting

Mycomputer->(right click)Properties->Hardware->Hardware Profiles->Copy

Rest is self explanatory.

During the booting process you can select pre-saved hardware profile in case computer crashes.

Next time we shall see , what can be done if the computer crashes with out any restore point or hardware profile.

There is a simple way of Backing up the Gmail Contacts. It is important because incase you forget your password of Gmail Account, Gmail asks for either alternate email ID which you are supposed to (optional) supply during Gmail ID registration or any frequent used email IDs. To our illluck some times these frequent used email IDs may not be recalled.

So simple thing is to Back Up. By the way, the saved backup copy can be updated and RESTORED back into Google Address Book with a single click. That's a good news.

The following is a simple pictorial view.

Login to your Gmail Account with your ID.

Click the link 'contacts' which appears on left.

 

Click the link 'Export' on your right side.

Select 'Everyone' below 'Who do you want to export?'
Select 'Google CSV format' under 'Which export format?'

 

Save your copy.

Most of the time we end up tiresome in killing the tasks of pending printer jobs. Unfortunately by cancelling the printing jobs it may several minutes or end up in restarting the Computer.

First open Run command (click start and Run). Type in cmd and hit enter. Then type in the following command

net stop spooler

You see the following message

 

Again type the following path in the Run

C:\windows\system32\spool\printers

 

 

A window will open with some JUNK files appearing. Press Ctrl+A for selecting all of them and delete them. Again come to the DOS window and type the following command.

net start spooler

The Print spooler service now will start.
