PC gaming can be an excellent way to spend your free time. However, it can be a real headache when finding whether or not certain games work on your PC or not. Of course, if your PC has been created for gaming then that might not be much of a problem but this will be difficult if you’ve got a standard issue laptop. Going through specifics to see if your graphics card or processor can be a real task to deal with but this can all be fixed just by taking from the website, Can You Run It. What this website does is it scans your PC to find out whether your machine can handle the game you’ve been wanting to play for sometime. For this, open the website and pick the game you want to play from the dropdown list. Once you’ve done this, click the button that reads “Can You Run It”. A pop-up window will appear with three choices asking you to choose between using a desktop or web app to check your system requirements or to just read the requirements of the game manually. The recommendation from experts include picking the desktop app, installing and running it. This will redirect you to a page at the website along with the recommendations for the game you wish to run on your system. Once you’ve installed the...

All if not most of us both play and work online. While you might be working on Google Drive during the day, there’s a chance that you might be chilling out and chatting with friends using Skype. Which begs the question: can you separate your personal and professional identities? That said, here are 3 ways of making this clear demarcation between these identities on Windows devices: #1: Separate browsers The first way is to use separate browsers for both work  and play. Chrome and Firefox are obvious choices. However, this will mean that you can only use one browser at a time. One way of dealing with this problem is to open multiple accounts in either browser. #2: Several Windows accounts While it is difficult to create these accounts, they’re rather easy to use for your work and personal life. Of course, all your files and work-related material can be on one account while the other one can have all your play-related stuff. In Windows 7, you can open a new account in Control Panel while in Windows 8.1, you can navigate through Settings>Change PC settings>Accounts>Other Accounts. #3: Several Google accounts The third way to do this is by switching between two Google accounts that Google allows but only if you keep in mind a couple of rules. The first is that the account that you use first will...

Potentially unwanted programs can be a real headache since they slow down performance, hamper productivity and add annoying toolbars and pop ups too. People who have had to deal with this often avoid downloading free programs but this isn’t really necessary. All you have to do is carefully avoid the traps that are present in the program’s installation wizard. For this purpose, let’s consider the program, All Free ISO Ripper, which contains every dirty trick that potentially unwanted programs use for installation on your system. While creators of this program have even turned off the “Add a Desktop Icon” in the second page of the installation wizard, this is the best you are going to get. On the next page, if you pick the Standard Installation, and which is recommended, you will install the AVG Toolbar as a result. So, the first thing to keep in mind when installing PUPs, never pick the Standard, Default or Recommended Installation but pick the Custom Installation options instead. In the case of the All Free ISO Ripper, the options to install the AVG Toolbar is already checked when you select “Custom Installation”. Of course, it’s wise to uncheck those options before you move to the next page. Speaking of which, the next page leads you to pick between an ‘Express Installation’ and ‘Custom Installation’ of PureLeads – yet another program that you...
