Eyesight isn't What it Used to Be? Try this.

If your eyesight isn't quite what it used to be, then here's a trick you can try.
It's called “High Contrast” mode. Here is how to make the change.

Press: Left Shift+Left Alt+Print Screen all at the same time

A window will pop up, asking you if you'd like to turn this mode on. Click “Yes”. Your desktop will undergo a magical transformation. Text will turn white, the background will turn black and you may see things a little clearer than you used to.

If you don't like it, just repeat the key combination and everything will go back to normal. This tip applies to both XP and Vista.

Is Your Computer Slowing Down?

When your computer is slowing down, it usually means that you require more memory. Instead of adding more memory, you can easily remove programs and stop them from consuming all of it. The easiest way of doing this is by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and then clicking the Processes tab.

This window will show exactly how much memory each program is using. You can click the End Process button to close any program you don't think you need running. Just be careful, you may not want to close any program running under the name of “System,” because you might shut down something that Windows needs to operate correctly.
