What is 802.11g?

October 28th, 2009

The 802.11g standard, defined by IEEE, is an extension to the 802.11b standard of wireless network. It operates in 2.4-GHz band and brings data rates up to 54Mbps using Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. Since the 802.11g standard is backward compatible with 802.11b, an 802.11b device can interface directly with an 802.11g access point.

What is the Last Known Good Configuration?

September 15th, 2009

The Last Known Good Configuration is an advanced boot option. It starts a Windows operating system by using the Registry information that was saved at the last successful logon. The configuration is stored in the HKLMSystemCurrentControlSet registry key. Although the Last Known Good Configuration option does not solve problems caused by corrupted or missing drivers or files, it enables a user to revert to the previous working state in case there are problems with the drivers. When a user opts for this boot option, he loses any modifications made since the last successful logon. A user can view this boot option by pressing the F8 key during the Windows XP boot process.

What is the Roll Back Driver feature?

September 13th, 2009

Roll Back Driver is a feature of Device Manager that restores the previous device driver that was installed on a computer before the driver was updated. Windows supports driver rollback for all devices except printers. Rolling back a driver is available only on devices that have new drivers installed. When a driver is updated, the previous version is stored in the %system_root%system32
einstallbackups folder. Rolling back a driver uses this folder to revert to a previous version. A user should roll back a driver when he does not want to affect other system configurations or drivers and is assured that the current driver is causing problems.
