What should be done to obtain the maximum battery life in a PDA?
-
Adjust the touch screen sensitivity
-
Adjust the screen backlight settings
-
Adjust the IrDA transfer rate
-
Adjust the SD card bus speed
Correct Answer
A. Adjust the screen backlight settingsExplanation
To obtain the maximum battery life in a PDA, it is recommended to adjust the screen backlight settings. By reducing the brightness of the screen, less power is consumed, thus extending the battery life. This is a common practice in electronic devices as the screen backlight tends to be one of the major power consumers. Adjusting the touch screen sensitivity, IrDA transfer rate, or SD card bus speed may have an impact on the device's performance or data transfer speed, but it would not directly affect the battery life.Rate this question:

What is the FIRST troubleshooting step that should be implemented when an external monitor is attached to a laptop and does not work?
-
The monitor must be activated with the Function Key
-
The laptop covershould be closed and re-opened
-
The laptop should be rebooted
-
The correct drivers for the keyboard should be installed.
Correct Answer
A. The monitor must be activated with the Function KeyExplanation
When an external monitor is attached to a laptop and does not work, the first troubleshooting step that should be implemented is to activate the monitor with the Function Key. This is because some laptops have a dedicated Function Key that needs to be pressed in combination with another key (usually labeled with a monitor icon) to switch the display output to the external monitor. By activating the monitor with the Function Key, the laptop will redirect the display output to the external monitor, allowing it to work properly.Rate this question:

-
Delete the file with Disk Cleanup
-
Use the Disk Defragmenter
-
Use System Restore

In which mode should you power down if you want the laptop to copy system data to the hard drive before completely turning off
-
Suspend
-
Standby
-
Log off
-
Hibernate.
Correct Answer
A. Hibernate.Explanation
When you want the laptop to copy system data to the hard drive before completely turning off, you should power down in Hibernate mode. Hibernate mode saves the current system state, including open files and programs, to the hard drive before shutting down. This allows you to resume your work exactly where you left off when you power on the laptop again. Suspend, Standby, and Log off modes do not save the system state to the hard drive, so choosing Hibernate ensures that your data is not lost.Rate this question:

What is the most logical explanation why a laptop continues to fail every time you want it to go into Hibernate Mode.
-
Not enough RAM
-
WinXP not activated
-
Not enough battery power
-
No hardware or device driver support.
Correct Answer
A. No hardware or device driver support.Explanation

After navigating to the Windows Advanced Options Menu, you have the option to make use of Directory Services Restore Mode, which allows you to restore Active Directory if it becomes corrupted. You can also boot the computer with the Safe Mode with Networking option, which starts Windows in a limited state with only essential drivers and services, but still allows network connectivity. Lastly, you can use the Last Known Good Configuration option, which starts Windows using the registry information from the last successful boot, potentially resolving issues caused by recent changes.Rate this question:

By enabling the Guest account, users can log in and perform basic tasks without having full administrative access to the system.Rate this question:

Which two files will cause a Win2000 EIDE system with a single-boot configuration to become nonfunctional, if they are missing? (Select 2)
-
Hal.dll
-
Win.com
-
Ntbootdd.sys
-
Bootsect.dos
Correct Answer(s)
A. Hal.dll
A. Win.comExplanation
If the files Hal.dll and Win.com are missing from a Win2000 EIDE system with a single-boot configuration, the system will become nonfunctional. Hal.dll is a critical file that is required for the system to boot properly. Win.com is the executable file for the Windows operating system and is also necessary for the system to function correctly. Therefore, the absence of these two files would render the system nonfunctional.Rate this question:

-
Press F8 for advanced startup option
-
Last Known Good Configuration
-
Directory Services Restore Mode.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Debugging Mode with Command Prompt only
A. Press F8 for advanced startup optionExplanation
The correct answer is "Debugging Mode with Command Prompt only" and "Press F8 for advanced startup option". These two options are not available in the Windows Advanced Boot Options menu. The Advanced Boot Options menu allows users to troubleshoot and repair their computer's operating system. However, the options mentioned in the answer are not included in this menu. Debugging Mode with Command Prompt only is used for troubleshooting and analyzing system errors, but it is not available in the Advanced Boot Options menu. Similarly, pressing F8 for advanced startup options is a common method to access the Advanced Boot Options menu, but it is not an actual option within the menu itself.Rate this question:
