The Ultimate Troubleshooter v3.62


When I was asked to review The Ultimate Troubleshooter I was a little leery. Just what I needed: another system tune up application. However, I was pleasantly surprised. This software was different from what I had anticipated, but how well does it hold up?

For this review I was using TUT (The Ultimate Troubleshooter) Version 3.62. At the time of this writing this is the latest version available for download from the London based company’s website. Simply put, TUT is system optimization software. More information can be found on their website.

Upon receiving the software, I decided it was a good idea to learn a little about it. Along with the brochure they provided, I also decided to stop by the company’s website to see what they had to say.

  • 900 New Definitions to its well-known Task List. The list can be found on their website and has long since been considered an invaluable resource for learning about background processes. Not only is it built directly into the program, but it includes a painless update utility to make sure that you are always using the latest process information available to you.
  • Windows Tuning. A new module that provides access to several advanced Windows settings.
  • Faster Updates are available through an integrated update feature that ensures you are always using the latest available information. There is also no need for restarting the program after updating definitions which is a nice benefit over previous versions.
  • Set System Restore Point from within the software. This is a great feature that allows you to not only save all changes that are made, but also to provide a roll back point prior to using the software.
  • An extended log file to keep track of all changes.
  • Housekeeping is a module that takes you through standard maintenance procedures in a single click.

They also emphasize using the “plainest possible language” for process descriptions and recommendations. This software is designed to be simple enough for a complete beginner and powerful enough for experts and system administrators.

There are several different licensing options. The single license is $29. Volume licenses and Corporate licenses are available

All in all, it seemed like a lot to tackle for a program, especially with so many freeware competitors lurking around. Now I was ready to find out for sure.

The installer was just over 15MB and loaded relatively quickly. A few clicks later I was on my way.

Video Editing Software for 08

The advent of the computer not only revolutionized the way we store our thoughts and the way we communicate, but also the way we store important visuals in our life. Movie making is now within the reach of anyone with a computer. Video editing software has become so sophisticated that movies can be made for anything from small family occasions to larger scale productions, essentially with a just few clicks of the mouse.

The burgeoning video software products on the market may baffle the consumer, and it is important to keep certain aspects in mind when choosing a product suitable for the customer’s unique needs. The customer must examine whether the manufacturer of the software has a good and convenient support system by e mail, by telephone, or via Internet chat.

The important characteristics of good video editing software are the number of preset images, audio support, color and audio control, types of sequence transition mechanisms, and customization of special effects. A customer must inquire into the number of formats to which the software is capable of importing and exporting. For instance, is it capable of exporting to and from VHS tapes, DVD, VCD, or the more recent AVCHD.

Video editing software comes with limited or sometimes full versions of software bundled in like VCD/DVD authoring packages and music creation packages. These packages make editing the video easier and can be very expensive to buy separately. The bundled software is usually compatible with the parent software, and the version may not be available independently. The software must be compatible to the operating system used by the customer. Finally, buying a video editing software package that is easy to install and easy to use is the simplest way of making great movies.

Applications from Hard Drive to Internet

There are plenty of advantages to using online applications rather than running them on your hard drive. Such applications are finally starting to catch up with software like Microsoft Office. In this article we'll consider why you might want to use online applications and take a look at the capabilities of what is out there.

I remember the days when applications were sold on floppy disks; heck, I remember Windows was like 30+ floppies. Then came the CD-ROM, more reliable and dependable, and offering more space; they were a heck of a lot more convenient than floppies. DVDs came shortly after that, seemingly not much more than bigger CD-ROMs. We have Blu-Ray coming now, but it looks like applications won't be seeing blue any time soon.

Software's next big leap is to the Internet. With more and more users jumping on the 'net, and download speeds ramping up, the Internet looks like the new hot spot for applications to hang out.

There are many applications already all over the Internet. Download.com is one of the biggest sites; it offers nearly every kind of software out there to download and install on your computer. This is great if you need a little utility for a few days and don't want to run out to the store to buy a $30 program that you will use for only a few days. But this still requires you to download and install programs and files to your hard drive to run them.

This article will talk about applications run from a browser that can be saved to a server somewhere, not on your local machine, and then pulled up anywhere with Internet access.

Why?

Why do we need online applications? Aren't they fine and dandy on our local machines? Well, technically, there isn't anything wrong with using Microsoft Office, or Adobe Photoshop, that you have on your computer. That is, unless your hard drive goes down, or you aren't comfortable laying down a nice hunk of change for these applications. Your standard office suite is $150 and $650. Walk into Best Buy or go to Dell, and you can buy a new computer for that much.

These online applications are typically free or a lot cheaper than the traditional software. Online applications also add something that traditional applications can't: mobility.

With USB drives now holding up to 16 and 32 GB, size really isn't a problem anymore. I could throw a whole install of XP with Office on it onto a single drive. I could carry around a USB drive with me everywhere, but do you really want some of your co-workers walking around town with your vital company financial data on a piece of hardware smaller then a stick of gum? Chances are that you probably don't.

With online applications, if you lose your password, you're not going to be in as bad shape. If you're dumb and keep your username with password, then you're in no better shape. If they get either your username or password, it probably doesn't mean much for anyone else.

The last reason would be redundancy. Sure, you could have backups of everything you do, and you probably do for your most important information. I work in client side support, and I have witnessed many times that your typical user forgets to back up their data until about 20 minutes after their hard drive dies. I have seen people with their research data at a medical university end up losing everything because they didn't back up.

Sure, there are a few bright people that have learned, but the vast majority of people still don't back up their data. Online applications can save data online, on their servers, and they are probably a lot more redundant. I'm thinking Google does a little more than Joe from accounting does as far as backups.

Mass Internet Faxing Services


Nowadays we're used to seeing everything migrate to the Web. Faxing is no exception. Today there are numerous online services that offer various options for sending and receiving high-quality fax copies without owning or having access to a modern fax machine. Recently, mass faxing has also become possible. We can now send hundreds of faxes nearly instantaneously. In this article we are going to present and review some of the most popular online faxing services.

Keep in mind that in this article we won't discuss traditional faxing. It's all about going online thanks to the migration of this wonderful telecommunications technology to the Web, and being able to access all of its capabilities without owning a modern fax machine or a dedicated faxing telephone line.

Fortunately, more than 95 percent of the online fax web services are totally web-based. This means that they won't require you to download fancy applications and struggle with their graphical user interface. If the service of your choice requires registration (as most do), then after logging into your account, everything "happens" inside your account control panel. So basically you can access a virtual fax machine via your web browser.

Therefore, please don't confuse this article with some general faxing server how-to and "Fax over IP." A fax server is a set of computer applications that communicate with a dedicated fax-capable modem attached to either a phone line or emulated Fax over IP transmission technology (T.38). This is good for organizations, but it is way too much hassle for the rest of us. Thus, this article talks only about Internet faxing services!

The beauty of Internet faxing is, simply put, reducing the overall costs. Obviously other advantages cannot be neglected. These include paperless communication (via your web-browser and/or e-mail), the ability to send and/or receive multiple faxes simultaneously to different destinations practically anywhere in the world, freedom from extra devices (fax modem, fax machine, etc.) and additional telephone lines, and reduced phone costs.

On another note, you do not need to "take care" of the fax machine because you aren't the operator; you are only the customer of their services. You do not need to worry about paper, toner, and other technical malfunctions. A high level of confidentiality is always guaranteed. You can access your account based on a password and username. The possibility of getting your fax into the wrong hands is excluded. And yes, the mobility factor is built in!

Now that you understand what Internet/online faxing is about, let's move on.
