Has your Windows computer ever suffered a dramatic loss of storage space for no apparent reason? If this is the case, then the problem is probably not with your software, but with some directories. So, what do you do under these circumstances? Of course, scan your computer to find out which files, folders or directories take up the most space. We have already taken a look at some free Disk Space Analyzer software. The integrated Disk Footprint Tool under Windows 10/8.1 also allows you to perform various tasks related to disk usage. You can take snapshots, create summaries, analyze disk usage, announce, compare growth over time, and much more. read more

Most of us choose to erase our browser history from time to time via Internet options. But sometimes, especially if the URL is long, you may not be able to remove it from your Windows 7 computer’s browser history.

The procedure for installing language packages under Windows 7 was different. Windows 8 offers a more convenient option. read more

When installing Windows 8, one of the biggest challenges was getting my ATI display drivers to work. Of course, the generic display was installed, but none of the ATI CC functions worked, especially the images were not as sharp and sharp as under Windows 7. When I connect my LED TV via HDMI cable, the resolution was totally confused. I spent hours taking her to work.

Until recently, we used the IPv4 version, which provided us with a 32-bit address. But these available addresses will soon be out of stock. The new version of IP, i.e. IPv6, offers us 128-bit addressability, which means more addresses are available and would make the Internet more secure (better network security) than the previous version of IPv4, with better quality of service and other features such as mobility support, multicast support.

IPv6, the successor to the protocol currently used on the Internet, was developed in the late 1990s but has not yet been used worldwide. As IPv4 address space is exhausted, the industry cannot afford to wait much longer. Now or after the launch of World IPv6, i.e. as of June 6, 2012, many websites will permanently enable IPv6 connectivity to their websites. read more
