Investing in Medical Information Software today is the best way to run your practice well with the aid of modern medical technology. The very fact that some of the largest pharmaceutical companies and small product companies are using this technology is proof of its significance in the medical world.

Computers are great when they are new. However, they can quickly turn into your biggest nightmare when they start running slow. And unfortunately, this is a problem which millions of people are having to put up with every day, thanks to a simple (but hidden) problem inside your PC.

There is a part of your computer system which is responsible for most of its slowness. It's called the 'registry' and is the most central part of Windows. The registry is a database which stores all your system files and settings, and is a very important part of your computer. It's so important, that Windows would literally not be able to run without it. And it's because of this importance, that actually makes your computer run slow. Here's why...

The registry is needed by Windows. It's got files inside it, which Windows reads "instructions" from, telling it to do certain things at certain times. The problem is that because your computer is reading these files non-stop, they actually become corrupt and damaged, over time. This is totally normal, but can spell disaster for your PC.

You see, because your computer cannot operate without these registry files, any delay in finding them will actually affect the speed of your PC. This is because your computer spends more time trying to find the missing files, which delays everything else. Over time, this problem gets worse and worse, as more and more files become missing or corrupt. It's the biggest reason as to why your computer is running slow, and is also very easy to fix.

To fix this problem (and speed up your PC), you simply need to clean out all the damaged files inside the registry. This is impossible for a human to do, because there are 100,000 files inside the database, but it's actually very easy for a registry cleaner to do. These registry cleaners are basically small pieces of software which scan through the entire registry database. They single out all the corrupt or missing files, and fix them all for you. This speeds your computer up dramatically, and keep it running fast.

Webmasters looking to create colorful graphics for their websites need to have access to a high quality DHMTML Dynamic color picker. This is exactly what ColourMod has to offer. ColourMod has been identified as the most flexible of all color pickers out there.

In recent years ColourMod has become even more robust. The features and flexibility that this DHTML dynamic color picker has to offer is bound to exceed the user’s imagination. The software is available in a number of different versions each catering to specific needs and desires. The enhanced ColourMod allows you to convert colors on your desktop as well as allowing you color picking on the web.

As mentioned above, ColourMod started out as a web based DHTML Dynamic color picker. Ever since the development of OS X from Apple, ColourMod has been upgraded to serve as a Dashboard interface. This means it is fully functional in OS X Tiger and Leopard.

With the Dashboard version of ColourMod you will have no need to open Photoshop or other graphics program anymore. Nor do you have to worry with values like RGB, CMYK and HSV. The enhanced version brings simplicity and ease of use to Mac users.

Other unique features that ColourMod endows it users with is the ability to start off with a value and get an automatic conversion. This means you can start of with RGB, CMYK or Hex value and you will automatically get its conversion. You will have the ability to select your own colors with corresponding values in all formats.

Currently the software gives you two methods of color selection. The first method is the Default color selection. This is a standard hue based color selection method. The other method is the Color Wheel selection. This is based on the color feel and functions exactly in the same way as OS X’s built in color wheel picker.

Another feature that makes things incredibly easy for web developers in particular and all users in general is the “Copy Hex to clipboard” option. This feature makes the entire color picking process a piece of cake.

As a widget ColourMod was limited to Macintosh users. The new port ColourMod to Konfabulator however opens up vistas for Windows users to take advantage of this dynamic color picker as well. Compared to the Dashboard version, the ColourMod for Kongabulator is still in its infancy. Updates are continuously being developed in order to bring ColourMod for Konfabulator up to mark with the Dashboard version.

Another version of ColourMod has been developed known as ColourMod Plug And Play. This was actually the first color picker produced. ColorMod actually revolutionized the way internet users could choose and pick colors using a web browser. With the passage of time ColourMod has been advancing and is now considered to be the easiest and fastest compact DHTML color picker. This plug in for web based applications can be used with minimal technical knowledge as it utilizes few simple code inclusions only. With ColourMod you are ready to start coloring from the start.

Uprade with care: Support techs report that the most troublesome laptop components are the hard drive, screen, and keyboard. While you probably won’t want to replace an expensive laptop screen, anyone with the right tools and even a slight mechanical inclination can replace the hard drive, keyboard, and other components, with some patient tinkering.

Opening your laptop case may void the warranty, so if your system is still under warranty, let the manufacturer deal with repairs. Notebooks are delicate, so never force anything. Vince Dougherty, who has repaired countless laptops for Wine Country Computers in Healdsburg, California, says the most common mistake is using the wrong-size screwdriver. One slip and your motherboard is ruined.

Before doing anything else, remove the notebook’s battery and disconnect its power cord. Remember to ground yourself before you open the case, either with a grounding strap (the safest way), or by touching a piece of grounded metal (a lamp or water pipe will do), while touching a metal part on the case’s exterior.

Replace your hard drive: Adding a new hard drive to a laptop is usually easier than doing the same thing on a desktop PC: You just remove a few screws from the bottom of the case, slide or lift the hard drive assembly out of the system, and swap a new drive into the assembly (always handle drives by the edges).

Most notebook PCs use a standard 2.5-inch hard drive, but ultralights and other diminutive systems may use a smaller 1.8-inch drive. Drives also come in different heights; the most common are 12.5 millimeters and 9.5 millimeters. Check your laptop’s documentation, or visit the vendor’s Web site to determine the drive size compatible with your machine.

A 2.5-inch, 100GB drive costs less than $200. Third-party vendors such as Drive Solutions and NewEgg.com often charge less than laptop manufacturers. Check with your notebook vendor to find out whether you need a SATA or parallel ATA model. Buy only from vendors that offer a money-back guarantee–any reliable seller will provide one lasting at least 30 days.

Boost your RAM: Most laptops come with only one or two memory sockets, which may leave no open slots for upgrades. Adding memory may require that you discard at least one existing memory module. The RAM on most laptops resides behind a removable panel. The modules slip into a slot and are secured at the ends by clips or retainers. Crucial offers an excellent tutorial on installing laptop RAM.

Crucial and Kingston will tell you the type of RAM your laptop needs. The high-quality modules they sell are well worth the small, additional expense over no-name RAM.

Change your keyboard: Installing a new keyboard usually requires disassembling the laptop’s case, but in other respects it is straightforward: First snap the old keyboard out, and then snap the replacement keyboard in. You can expect to pay $50 to $100 for a new notebook keyboard. Appropriate replacement keyboards may be available only from the notebook’s vendor.

Gadgets to Go

For every desktop peripheral, a miniaturized laptop version is available from Belkin, Kensington, Targus, or a similar vendor. Here is my list of on-the-road laptop essentials.

Lose your touchpad: When I’m in serious work mode, my laptop’s touch pad just isn’t as easy for me to use as a mouse. A miniature USB travel mouse with retractable cord costs less than $30 from these and other vendors, and a wireless version (Bluetooth or infrared) costs a bit more. I recommend a wired mouse for busy travelers; there are no batteries to worry about, and no tiny Bluetooth or RF transmitter to lose.

Get more ports: If your laptop has only one or two USB ports, a small four-port USB hub is essential for connecting more devices. Portable printers, scanners, and other power-hungry USB peripherals may need a self-powered hub like APC’s $35 4-Port Travel Hub, which comes with its own power adapter. To connect a mouse, keyboard, or thumb drive, a nonpowered USB hub will suffice. And for power protection on the road, try APC’s $20 SurgeArrest Notebook device; see .

Unleash your router: A small wireless router lets you move around a hotel room, an office, or anywhere else with a fixed, high-speed Internet connection. The $60 AirPlus G DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router from D-Link fits in a tiny carrying case.

Close the gate: Anyone hopping from one hotel room or wireless hotspot to another needs firewall protection, and the firewall built into Windows XP Service Pack 2 just won’t do. If your IT department forbids you to install firewall software on your company laptop, Kensington’s $40 Personal Firewall device can keep your system safe from intruders while you’re on the road. Just insert the thumb drive into an open USB port, perform a quick configuration, and your shields are up.

Turn on your night light: Using a notebook computer in a darkened airliner or other light-challenged space can be difficult because you can’t see the keyboard (unless it is backlit). Instead of squinting by the light of the laptop’s LCD, try Kensington’s $25 Flylight 3. The device has an LED light at one end of its bendable neck, and a USB connector at the other. The Flylight is small and light enough to take anywhere, and it can illuminate a laptop work area without bothering others.

Block roving eyes: On lengthy, boring flights, few seatmates can resist sneaking a glance or two at your laptop screen. 3M’s Notebook Privacy Computer Filter slides over your notebook’s screen, and easy-to-attach clips hold it in place to prevent the snoop sitting next to you from kibitzing your game of Solitaire. The screen is pricey, starting at $45 for a 12.1-inch model, but it will keep your affairs private.

Toss your power bricks: If you’re tired of hauling a pile of power bricks everywhere you go, why not trade ‘em in for one that will power all your devices? APC, Belkin, Kensington, and Targus make mobile universal power adapters with connector tips for laptops, cell phones, PDAs, and other devices. Their prices range from $70 to $130, depending on wattage and accessories. Tip selection varies from vendor to vendor, so check the compatibility list on the company’s Web site for each of your electronic devices before you lay down your green.

Off-Road Computing

Dock and cover: A docking station lets you connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, USB devices, and network link to your laptop in just seconds. Most notebook vendors offer custom docking stations for some models, but these tend to cost hundreds of dollars. Targus’s $130 Universal Notebook Docking Station With Video links to any laptop via USB 2.0. The only catch: A USB 2.0 link can’t match the speed of a direct VGA monitor connection, so it may create a bandwidth bottleneck when running fast-moving games or other graphics-intensive applications.

Share your peripherals: If you constantly switch between your desktop and laptop PCs, use a keyboard-video-mouse switch to run either PC from one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Many vendors sell KVM switches that require lots of cables and connections, but Kavoom KVM) is a software “switch” that runs over a network link. A simple click lets you toggle between computers. The program costs $30 for two PCs, and another $10 for each additional PC.

Double your viewing pleasure: Windows XP’s Dual View lets you combine an external monitor with the machine’s own LCD to spread your open windows across both displays. To determine whether your laptop supports Dual View, connect a monitor to the system, right-click the desktop, select Properties to open the Display Properties dialog box, and choose Settings.

If Dual View is supported, the ‘Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor’ option will be available (not grayed out), and two screens labeled ‘1′ and ‘2′ will appear above the checkbox (see ). Check the box, click OK, and drag screen 1 above, below, to the right, or to the left of screen 2. Microsoft’s Web site has an informative article about XP’s Dual View.

If two monitors are good… You can expand your laptop’s viewing area across three monitors with the $299 TripleHead2Go from Matrox (see ). The palm-size device connects your notebook’s graphics port to expand the image across three monitors. The company’s $169 DualHead2Go supports two monitors, but gamers in particular will appreciate having their center point in the middle of the middle monitor rather than between two displays. The devices work only with certain ATI and nVidia chip sets, so check the compatibility list posted on Matrox’s site before buying. Also, few notebooks ship with the graphics horsepower required to drive three monitors at full resolution (not many desktop PCs can do so either), so make sure your system can push images to three different displays.

Notebook Tips: Extend Your Laptop’s Life

These tips and products will keep your notebook going and going.

Get a grip: Keep your laptop in hand by placing strips of 3M Safety Walk tape on its case. A small roll costs about $10 at your local hardware store.

Come in from the cold: When you bring your laptop in from the chilly outdoors, don’t start it until it reaches room temperature. Otherwise, condensation could wreak havoc on its circuits.

Beat the heat: Placing your notebook on a blanket or other soft surface, or running it inside its carrying case stifles ventilation and makes it overheat faster. Instead, put a pencil or similar object under the back edge to elevate your laptop; even half an inch of space lets hot air flow away from the case. For serious overheating, pick up a laptop cooling pad such as Antec’s $30 Notebook Cooler.

Stay dry or fry: To protect your notebook from liquid spills, use a $15 plastic keyboard cover from Protect Keyboard Covers). It just might save you the cost of a new laptop.

Save your screen: Lowering the screen puts most notebooks into standby or hibernation mode when they’re running on batteries, but doing so might not put them in power-saving mode when they’re plugged into AC power. Check the Power Options settings in Windows’ Display Properties to make sure that you’re conserving power: Right-click the desktop, select Properties, Screen Saver, Power, and set a duration under ‘System standby’ and ‘System hibernates.’
