Ways on How to Transfer Word Documents From One Computer to Another

Since no man is an island, there is bound to be interchange of information in all forms. Learn to master some simple steps in knowing how to transfer word documents from one computer to another, and the same applies for all types of files.

Loosely adapting a line from a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, how do I transfer files? Let me count the ways. A common method at present day is to use a USB drive to copy files. For the benefit of the lesser informed, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) drive is sometimes called a flash drive. Plug the drive into a USB port of the source computer and copy the documents into it. Remember to safely remove the drive to avoid corruption and then pop it into the target computer's port and copy the files out. If the files are larger than the drive's size, repeat the process by copying and deleting files. This method doesn't work if there is only 1 file which is too large to fit into the drive.

Chancing a rare occurrence whereby either or both computers are from the dark ages, i.e. a technology of a previous decade in computerize, and don't have USB ports, you can opt to burn files to CD, either a Readable or Rewritable Compact Disk. The drawbacks are that the source computer must have a CD burner, the target computer at least a CD reader. Since a CD is limited in space, you can burn files to DVD with DVD burner and reader at respective computers.

If the files are large, connect the computers to a local network. It is normally quite fast to transfer files from one computer to another over the network, assuming you're using wired connection over a high-speed network which isn't congested. Transferring files via wireless connection is also a viable option, albeit a little slower. If the computers are on separate networks, the best bet is to use the internet and send files via email. Files too large to send via emails can be uploaded to an FTP site for later download.

An oft forgotten method is to transfer files via direct infrared connection between computers. Its advantages include not requiring any physical intermediaries or connection to the local network. The downside is that the computers have to be relatively close and within line of sight to establish and maintain infrared connection.

Other than physical methods of transfer, another problem encountered is with version incompatibility between same applications. If the application in the source computer is of a later version than the same application in the target computer, it's recommended to save the document to a version matching the target computer. Otherwise, save the document as RTF (Rich Text Format) to maintain most, if not all, formatting.

How to Make Windows XP Run Faster Now - Tutorial to Instantly Boost XP Computer Speed

With Windows XP being one of the most popular Operating Systems in the World still, it's important that you are able to keep it running as quickly and smoothly as possible. And fortunately, there's actually a way that you can speed up this system instantly. You just need to be able to tweak a part of the system that hardly anyone knows about.

Although XP is a very stable and reliable system, it still suffers from a lot of problems that are mainly caused by a part of the system called the 'registry'. This is a part of XP that stores the latest settings for your system, allowing it to remember everything from your default web browser to your login details. However, it's also one of the biggest causes of problems for XP, including the problem of a slow system!

Unfortunately, the registry is the Achilles Heal of XP, as its the one part of the system that lets your computer down time and time again. And the problem is that since the registry is being used so much, it's constantly making your system confused, leading it to save many parts of it in the wrong way. This causes the registry to become full of junk and erroneous files, making your system unable to read the settings it needs in the time you want. This is what causes most computers to run slow, and is luckily very easy to cure.

The problem of a slow system is best related to the "yellow pages". If you imagine the registry of XP as a telephone directory, which stores all sorts of listings and settings about your PC, and every time your computer gets confused, it ends up saving parts of this directory in the wrong way, making it all mixed up. This makes Windows unable to find the files it needs whenever it needs them, leading your system to run slower and with a lot more issues. To fix this, you just need to get the registry working in the correct order again, and that's done by using a tool called a "registry cleaner".

Registry cleaners scan through the entire registry database, and sort the files into the right order again. If you want to use one of these tools to speed your system up, you just need to download one from the Internet, install it and let it scan your system. This will make it correct all the issues that are slowing XP down and will make your PC run like new again (because new PCs don't have any registry problems to slow them down).

Is Your Computer Too Slow? This is How to Get Your Speedy PC Back Fast

Every computer needs to have its windows registry updated and cleaned from time to time. If people neglect to ensure that their computer is maintained properly and free of unnecessary files and malicious software then they are at risk of computer crashes, break-downs, errors and even a complete failure of windows.

The reason behind this begins in your computer registry.

Your computers registry system is there so windows knows how to run programs and hardware and store all the system settings. Once errors start to appear the affect on windows is dramatic and it will start to report error after error and slow right down.

Before thinking about fixing any registry errors there are a few other steps to take to make your computer run as fast and as error free as possible.

#1 Run a virus scan. If there is any malicious software on your computer it will embed entries in your windows registry. It is no good repairing the registry and removing these entries if they going to reappear again.

#2 Remove any programs you do not want or hardly use. This will enable you to remove the registry entries for these programs and speed up your PC further.

#3 Run a free registry scan. A brand new computer has a compact and error free registry. However after frequent usage errors may crop up and make it difficult for the registry to do its work. This is the reason why your computer may experience a lot of problems and errors. It is therefore vital to keep your computers registry clean and well-maintained.

It is important to run the registry scan last as this will find any errors and enable you to find and remove any registry entries for malicious programs and programs you have removed. Once you have done this it will also find all the other minor errors and problems that are slowing your computer down.

After you have run the free scan and have fixed and repaired all the errors with a registry cleaner you will find that your computer stops reporting annoying errors and runs as fast as when it was new.
