Remotely accessing a PC can be easy using Chrome Remote Desktop extension

A browser nowadays is more than a tool for accessing the web. With the right extensions, you can put it to many other uses.

Remotely accessing a PC can be easy. Especially if you are trying to help a less than tech savvy person. You will have access to the other person’s computer just like you were right there – and you can see and control the computer from right within the browser.

This chrome extension works on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X, so you can, for example, access your Linux desktop from a Windows box.

If you already have the browser installed on both machines, then using Chrome Remote Desktop is very easy

You can download the Chrome Remote Desktop extension from the Google Chrome Web Store. The extension should automatically install. If you leave the installation page open, you can launch the app right from that page.

To help with security, both you and the other person will need to grant access to the extension via your Google account. This can be either a standard Google account or a Google Apps account.

There are two part :

First part
Allowing access to your computer
First you will need to click the Share Button
Once you click the button, a unique one-time use access code will be generated.
Get this code to the person you who will be accessing your computer.  You can cancel the session at any time by clicking the button in the box that is displayed on the screen.

Second part
Access the computer.
The process to access the computer is much the same.
You will  download and install the extension.
When the person sends you the access code, you will input that code into the text box.
Press connect, the extension will verify the code and you should see the other person’s screen.

Check what's happening at your system startup

One of the biggest slowdowns on a Windows computer is the barrage of applications that start up when you boot Windows.

Check what's happening at your system startup. I bet that you will find one or more suspicious programs.

When you install more and more software you may start to notice that it takes longer and longer for your computer to startup. This is probably because many applications these days hook into your Windows Startup process and automatically load up each time you start your computer.

To Disable Start-up Programs / Applications In Windows:

1. Click the windows+r command to open Run then in the box Type msconfig and Press Enter .

2. From the System Configuration, Click Startup tab and then Uncheck the program boxes that you would like to prevent from starting when Windows starts. Click OK to save changes when you are done.


3. Now that you’ve saved changes Restart Windows and the selected programs should no longer automatically start up.

That’s it!

How to Reset (clear) your BIOS

To clear the CMOS is to short the "CLEAR CMOS" jumper on your motherboard, assuming you have one as most of the motherboards do.

Clearing CMOS using the jumper (clear jumper)
  • Turn off your computer completely.
  • Open your computer and look around your motherboard for a jumper labeled ClR_ CMOS or CLRTC . These jumpers are usually located near the BIOS chip itself or near the CMOS battery .
  • Remove the jumper from pin 1 and 2 and place it on pin 2 and 3, wait for two or three minutes, then return the jumper to its original position. All parameters of Bios will be deleted.
  • At times in some motherboard by removing the battery also clears the CMOS. 
  •  It is possible that a message “Checksum Error” appears at the start of your system. You can simply try to restart. If the message persists, load the default settings of your Bios (Press Del, F1 or F2 to enter Bios setup and press “Load Optimized Defaults”).

Fixing the Master Boot Record in Windows 7

1. Turn your computer on, booting from either your Windows 7 Installation DVD or Windows 7 System Recovery Disc. Note: You may need to change the boot order inside your BIOS to have the your DVD drive boot first.

2. After the installation or recovery disc loads, if prompted, select your language settings and then continue. If you are using the installation DVD, when prompted by the following screen select Repair your computer.


3. The computer will take a moment now to scan itself for any Windows installations.  Select the appropriate windows  If by chance a problem is detected in one of your Windows installations at this initial stage, the system may also ask you if it can try to repair the problem automatically. It is up to you if you wish to let the system try to repair itself, but otherwise just select No.


4. Once you have reached the System Recovery Options screen, as shown below, you will be faced with a list of choices that can aid you in repairing a damaged Windows 7 operating system. If you wish to try the Startup Repair option first, it is often successful in automatically fixing many different start up issues, but in this article we will be using the Command Prompt option to resolve our problems manually. So, clickCommand Prompt to continue.



5.  Now at the command prompt, enter the following command and then press enter:

bootrec.exe /FixMbr

If successful, you should be greeted with the message The operation completed successfully. That's it! Your Master Boot Record has been repaired.

While the above command does fix the MBR, and sometimes that is enough, there still might be an error with the system partition,s boot sector and Boot Configuration Data (BCD). This might occur if you have tried to install another operating system alongside Windows 7, such as Windows XP. To write a new boot sector, try the following command:

bootrec.exe /FixBoot

If you are still faced with your Windows 7 installation not being detected during start up, or if you wish to include more than one operating system choice to your system's boot list, you can try the following command to rebuild your BCD:

bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

The above command will scan all your disks for other operating systems compatible with Windows 7 and allow you to add them to your system's boot list. If this fails, you may need to backup the old BCD folder and create a new one in its place with the following commands:

bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot

attrib bcd -s -h -r

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /RebuildBcd
