What is native resolution?

Posted on May 11th, 2011

Native resolution applies to LCD monitors which have a specific amount of pixels. For example a monitor with a native resolution of 1024×768 has 786,432 elements of light arranged on a rectangular grid. LCD monitors have only one native resolution at which they will display images correctly, when your monitor is not properly configured, this can cause images to look stretched out and/or blurry.

You can fix this yourself by matching your graphics adapter resolution output to the native resolution of your monitor, our Tune Up service takes care of issues like these and finds errors in your system.

How to burn a data CD

Posted on March 31st, 2008

If you want to learn how to write files on a CD you need to know the basics of it and also check if you have a CD Burner in your computer. The process of writing data on a CD is called burning.

Before you start
To write on a CD you need to have a CD burner, if you are asking yourself “How do I know if I have one”, easy, just check the front of your computer and it should have a CD drive with this logo in it.

Then you need to purchase (CD-R) recordable or (CD-RW) re-writable disks, they sell them individually or on bulks of 25, 50 or 100 at retail stores like Walmart, Circuit City, CompUSA or Best Buy.

Different than floppy disks
The regular way to write data into a disk is simply by dragging the files to its destination. On a CD it works a little bit different, you have to prepare the files that you wish to copy to the disk and then burn them.
Instructions
1. Insert a blank CD in your drive.
2. You will get a message like this (select ***)
3. Drag and drop all the files you are going to burn into that directory

4. When you are done, click Write these files to CD

5. Type the title for your CD and click next.
6.- Wait until the process is completed and click Finish.

Done!
