Troubleshooting/Open Source Programs
Dropbox and VLC media player are the top 2 most liked sources. One of these sources may have some unique characteristics to them that other sources do not include in their sources.
VLC media player is a music program. People may use this because it supports most types of digital audio and video formats.
With a flash drive every PC could feel like your own. You can use your favorite software anywhere. Carry your bookmarks and settings. Also be able to edit documents, photos, and more.
Notepad ++ Portable seems like it would be nice to have at all times in case a document ever needs to be typed up on the spot. Marble Portable would be convenient whenever in need of finding a location or directions for something.
The school might think that running software from a USB drive would not be beneficial because on a computer's harddrive things run smoother and software would be easier to load from a harddrive.
Troubleshooting
1. Dont panic
2. Think physical first (check power and lights)
3. Check network connection
4. Use ALT + F4 on Malware pop-ups
5. If computer is turning on but not booting up, try restarting the system
6. If the computer is frozen press ctrl+alt+del to get a menu to pop up.
7. If the computer is running slowly, try closing a few windows
8. If your mouse wont work check the usb cable that connects it and also check to see if the receptor is clean.
9. If you computer is telling you that you arent connected to the internet check all cords connected to the modem, including the telephone cable and the ethernet cord.
10. If a program is repeatedly crashing, delete the program and reinstall it with the original disc.
