Speed Up Programs

May 31, 2010

It is a well known fact that the need to speed up programs will increase as the PC ages with time. This is perfectly normal for the need to speed up programs but there are steps that we can take to minimise the urgency to speed up programs. When the user opens/closes files, surfs online along with other tasks and the computer is reacting in a very slow and sluggish manner, means it’s time to speed up programs.

The first step to speed up programs is to ensure that you have sufficient hardware space. The main priorities for space on your hardware and disk space is the primary functions of your PC to operate normally and this includes the Windows package. This highlights the importance and the need to constantly speed up programs.

Another step to speed up programs is to ensure that your desktop is not clogged with files. This will only hinder any attempt to speed up programs as it registers the information. Any requirement to speed up programs will not be caused by shortcuts as much as normal files. Transferring files into the ‘My Document’ folder is a good idea to help speed up programs.

Users are also advised to scan their computers on a regular basis to speed up programs. System program files control all activities within the PC and these may be changed or at worst, corrupted during time. This will certainly effect the need to speed up programs and cause the computer to become unstable. The SFC (System File Checker) program scans the computer for any corrupted files and replaces them with the correct ones in order that it will eventually speed up programs. Ensuring that your PC has adequate anti-virus/spyware protection can also speed up programs.

A procedure known as ‘defragmentation’ of the PC can also play a big part in ensuring the need to speed up programs is minimised. This is where over time, a hard drive can become fragmented with hundreds of files broken up in many locations across the drive. Ultimately, this can speed up the requirement to speed up programs because it takes longer for it to access information. Defragging the PC will ensure all the files and it’s components are in the same place, helping to speed up programs. It is crucial to back up all work on another media, before attempting to speed up programs, and that the power for the PC is sufficient during defragmentation. Any interruptions during this process could lead to the hard disk crashing or corrupt the operating system, or both, making any further attempt to speed up programs futile.

If you have done all the above steps and the need to speed up programs has not decreased, you might consider reinstalling the operating system and programs. This is the last and final option in order to speed up programs – basically you backup all your data and user settings, wipe your hard drive clean and re-install the operating system with your original disks. Next, install all your favorite programs and restore all your data and user settings and considerable improvements should be noticeable when trying to speed up programs. This option may be worth considering if the PC is 3-4 years old with any action to speed up programs having less effect.

Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

Technology and our insatiable thirst for entertainment has seen many forms of games emerge on the scene. This is particularly evident for free multiplayer online role playing game‘s which initially began in flash form but has since evolved into more sophisticated titles of different platform types.

An example of a popular free multiplayer online role playing game currently includes Dragonica. Products for this multiplayer online role playing game can currently be found in many gaming retailers such as OffGamers. I will proceed to briefly review Dragonica in order to ascertain whether any of them compromise on quality, simply because it’s a multiplayer online role playing game.

Dragonica – Dragonica Online is a unique, 3D side-scrolling multiplayer online role playing game that closely resembles arcade classics like Gauntlet Legends, as well as multiplayer online role playing game’s like GhostX or Dungeon Fighter Online. Those that are bored of traditional side scrolling games like MapleStory and Wind Slayer should find that this multiplayer online role playing game is honestly a different gaming experience; and a multiplayer online role playing game at that too. The graphics and gameplay for this multiplayer online role playing game have an animated look about them.

The only disadvantage for this online multiplayer game is that it fails to give the player a full sense of accomplishment, even after leveling until level 80.

An important aspect of an MMO, be it a online multiplayer game or not is its immersion level – that is, the ability of its storyline and community to draw the player into the online multiplayer game, the true pull factor so to speak. Unfortunately, Dragonica Online seems to be lacking in both aspects, even for a multiplayer online role playing game.

The storyline of this multiplayer online role playing game is as light-hearted as its graphics. The first story for this multiplayer online role playing game has you rescue the mayor’s daughter, followed by her dog, from some “bad guy.” There is no history to this bad guy, and everyone seems generally happy that you’ve saved the day once you defeat the second mission. Although the quests help you progress from area to area, there is only a loose relation of side quests to the main story line, if any relation can be found at all within this multiplayer online role playing game.

If you love side-scrolling action, then you might fall in love with this multiplayer online role playing game. It’s easy to play, and relatively fun – definitely less of a grinder than fellow side-scrolling multiplayer online role playing game’s such as MapleStory. As the game is quite ‘childish’, and rated E10+ by the ESRB, it’s an ideal multiplayer online role playing game for youngsters to get their hands on.

However, this multiplayer online role playing game fails to draw you in and keep you going. There’s no real storyline to look forward to, no reason to socialize with other players, and no seriousness to lure a player in for “just one more level.” If you’re a serious multiplayer online role playing game player, you’ll probably feel Dragonica Online nothing but another multiplayer online role playing game to while away the time during weekend before moving on to more interesting. Or perhaps try another multiplayer online role playing game?

This has also allowed for the MMOG (Massively multiplayer online games) genre to enter the fray, enabling thousands of players to play online computer games simultaneously.

It would be unfair just to limit online computer games to this genre of games which are strictly online computer games as there are many other games which can be played both offline and online. Examples of other oonline computer games would be Sims 3, Microsoft Flight Simulator and many others which offers the player to play offline but also the added challenge of playing online with other players.

Online Flash Game

Technology and our insatiable thirst for entertainment has seen many forms of games emerge on the scene. This is particularly evident for the online flash game which initially began in flash form but has since evolved into more sophisticated titles of different platform types.

A prime example of a popular online flash game can be found on the social networking site – Facebook. This online flash game is created by Playfish, specialists in many other flash games.

The appeal behind this online flash game is that you can leave it running and progress within the game whilst you carry on with your chores. The objective for this online flash game is to build your own restaurant and make as much money as possible, competing against all other players which have added this online flash game on their Facebook account. There is an addictive element to this online flash game which attracts players to constantly upgrade their restaurants by generating more revenue, renovations and expanding the menu.

Another great thing that Restaurant City has as a online flash game is Playfish will constantly add new items and features to keep the game fresh.

One disadvantage for this online flash game and many others out there is that you will require the latest version of Flash to be installed onto the PC before such a online flash game can be played.

Another extremely popular online flash game which can be found on Facebook is Bejewelled, a puzzle game with a similar concept to Tetris. This online flash game is created by another creator of many games within the free flash game genre. As a online flash game, Bejewelled and Restaurant City are ideal for casual gamers.

Although the evolution of the online flash game has occurred at a rapid pace, it is now becoming a well established market with a vast array of concepts and game-play to suit all gamers. Slight adaptations can be made by programmers and developers to any existing online flash game in order to create a unique product. This provides a tough challenge for new programmers and developers of any online flash game trying to gain recognition within the industry unless they possess a ‘ground-breaking’ online flash game concept.
