2. In Windows 9x how can you terminate a stuck or "hung" program without powering down or restarting the system?

Explanation

Windows Task Manager is a task manager application included with the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems that provides detailed information about computer performance and running applications, processes and CPU usage, commit charge and memory information, network activity and statistics, logged-in users, and system services. The Task Manager can also be used to set process priorities, processor affinity, forcibly terminate processes, and shut down, restart, hibernate or log off from Windows. Windows Task Manager was introduced with Windows NT 4.0. Previous versions of Windows NT included the Task List application, which had far fewer features. The task list was capable of listing currently running processes and killing them, or creating a new process. In Windows XP only, a Shutdown menu is also present that allows access to Standby, Hibernate, Turn off, Restart, Log Off and Switch User.

3. What is the overall system starting order?

Explanation

The overall system starting order is determined by the POST (Power-On Self Test), which checks the hardware components for any issues. After the POST, the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is loaded, which initializes the hardware and identifies the boot device. The Boot Sector, also known as the Master Boot Record (MBR), is then accessed, which contains the boot loader code. Finally, the GUI (Graphical User Interface) is loaded, providing the user with a visual interface to interact with the system.

  Driver signing and testing in Windows XP is also known as?

Explanation

As with Windows 2000, Windows XP offers advanced Driver Signing options that will prevent unapproved device drivers from being loaded by unauthorized users. The Microsoft Driver Signing (also known as Windows Logo Testing) standards are much more rigorous and stress testing than ever before. This is to ensure compatibility and stability regardless of computer configuration. You may choose to ignore, warn, or completely disable unsigned driver installations. The default setting is ‘warn,’ which displays a dialog requesting action when an unsigned driver installation is attempted. You may then choose the system default through this Properties pane. To access the Driver Signing Properties page, visit System Properties either through the Control Panel or by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing Properties. Once you are in System Properties, you should choose the Hardware tab, and then you will see the Driver Signing button.
