Common Topics Covered / Frequently Discussed Topics
Thinkdigit forum has been there for a long time now. And hence there are many topics which have been exhaustively discussed, yet they keep popping up in new threads. That creates a very confused forum. So, some of us worked to create this thread which will be useful for the newer members of this huge community.
Following is a list of a few common topics which come up time and again. Everybody is requested to take a look at these topics before creating new threads.
Remember .... always Search before you create a new thread.
Most Important Threads of the ForumDo not skip above thread in any case.

More Suggestions :- What is this file with a funny extension ?
Before you post asking about a file extension which you dont undertand, just check : www.filext.com
- What is this .dll or .exe file running in my Task Manager ( ex SVCHOST.EXE ) ?
Best site for you to understand the nature of a exe or dll file:
www.processlibrary.com or http://www.liutilities.com/products/...rocesslibrary/
- Oops ! I lost an important dll file !!
Check if it's there in www.dll-files.com/

Just the thread for you: Valuable Sites for Techies
- What is the meaning of this computer term, in simple words ? (I'm not a techie)
Okk, go to www.google.com and type "define:<computer term>" or
Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/ and search there, it's the best free encyclopedia.
- My system is running extremely slow. Dont know why!!
OR I think I've got some kind of spyware or something. What can I do?
Get a good spyware remover like Ad-aware, Sypbot, etc. You can also download HijackThis (Know More), run it's scan. Post the logfile generated in QnA section and wait for replies.  . Additionally, if you are on Windows XP, then you can also switch OFF few services. Look HERE or HERE
- How to get a girlfriend?
Ughh .. (scratching my head) .. well I cant tell you that  . Hehe .. Happy Digiting
P.S. Note that
# It's not a list of all topics discussed till date .. just a few very common ones. So if you dont want your thread to be locked with a comment like 'search before you post' .. better take a look at the list.
# Moreover, this list must be and will be updated regularly.
# Please do not request to add up your thread in the list. It's nothing big and prestigeous to be in here.
# I've tried to cover all common topics .. but some could be left out. Spelling mistakes/ Incorrect links/ Typo Errors ... Corrections/Suggestions invited.
# Huge Thanks to drgrudge and Deep

Ok guys, this thread will be closed for members to post, but you can PM any mod to add any topics or suggest some changes. I will add some more topics to this later. If any members can search for topics in Hardware/mobile sections and PM me with the topic and URL, it can be added to this.

Re: Common Topics Covered / Frequently Discussed Topics
i want to enable BIOS USER PASS WORD (to creat password for preventing unauthorized computer uses) which is presently in disable mode while supervisor password is enabled . i have a hp dual core cpu with windows vista home premium/media centre operating system. under BIOS menu "security tab" is not provided, while above both types of password mode is provided under "Advance tab". i was using this feature in windows XP Professional and the advantage with this feature is : the computer doesn't start until appropriate password is fed.

@MOds Please separate the Post as a New thread if possible
anyway,

For this you have to open up the Cabinet, and have to reset the BIOS by mean of iether using Jumpers or by removing the CMOS Battery for vew Seconds
If yopu can mention the exact model of the Motherboard then one from here can try and give u the exact place where u can find the Jumpers in ur Motherboard
