Saving money by using freeware soft to windows
Introduction
This article covers a set of necessary freeware for a personal computer. All programs mentioned in this article have a freeware status and can be used absolutely legally and downloaded from shara-soft.ru website.
After windows xp sp3 is installed along with all the necessary drivers, first of all you need to install the available Windows updates. To do so, you need to go to Settings Panel and select Windows Update Center or Windows Update and click ‘Check for updates’. In this case the system will find the necessary updates and install them. The system will restart once the updates are installed.
It is highly recommended to install Service Pack for Windows. It can be installed through Windows Update Center, or it can be downloaded from Microsoft website.
It is also advisable to install the latest version of DirectX 11. It can also be found on Microsoft website.
CD/DVD emulators
From a paid version of the program Alcohol 120, the free version is different only in not being able to burn CDs. Using this program you have to be careful. If you check the checkbox for ‘Ignore media type’ in program settings, the system will see all disks inserted in the drive as non-recordable and will refuse to burn them. To resolve this issue the check box needs to be left unchecked.
Browser
There are several main browsers: Internet Explorer, opera AC final, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Each one has its pros and cons. We recommend you trying each one of them, and then chose the one you like most of all. We made our decision towards Opera. The main idea of Opera is that it includes almost everything you might need. It is quite fast and moderate towards RAM usage.
The main plus of Firefox is its extendibility with plug-ins. Chrome is characterized by high page load speed and minimalistic design. The main benefit of Internet Explorer is compatibility.
