After downloaded, you need is to install it in your PC as open downloaded file and then, install it according to step to step instructions as-

After installed, open wampserver and then, put it online and also start its all services as this should put your server open and running.

To check that your server running as simply type your IP address in browser and open it. If you don’t know that what is your computer IP address is as then, open “command prompt” and type in command prompt a command name “ipconfig” . Then, you will get your computer’s IP address.

Email Server:-

To make an email server, you need is to download “hMailServer” software through site- hMailServer.

Then, install it in your computer as follow step to step instructions carefully and install it-

After installed, open- my computer-> c:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\drivers\\etc

In etc folder open- “host” file in notepad and then, write after some space to local host – a one word domain name and then, save and close it as- >

Then, open hMailServer as installed in your PC and connect your local host through password. That password which you give at installed time as enter password to connect.

After connect- click on add domain and then, enter your domain name as you gave above in host file and then, click on save.

After saved your domain, click on- domain name and on Accounts. In Accounts, type in address- admin (or any username), give password and also give maximum size (MB) of your email and click on save button.

Webmail Interface:-

Finally, to make webmail Interface, you need to download “SquirrelMail-webmail” software through site-SquirrelMail.

After downloaded SquirrelMail zip files, extract that zip files in C partition of your computer.

Now the next step is to click on Wampserver- > Apache – Alias directories – Add an Alias.

After click, you will get a wizard of wamp as type in- “mail” and hit enter. Then, type- “c:/squirrelmail/” and again hit enter.

Later this, go to my computer- c partition – squirrelmail folder (which you extract) – config.

In config folder, changes the file named- config_default.php to config.php and open that php file in wordpad and check all details carefully in wordpad as-

$domain = ‘tinkernut.local’;

$smtpServerAddress = ‘tinkernut.local’;

$imapServerAddress = ‘tinkernut.local’;

$imap_server_type = ‘hmailserver’;

$data_dir= ‘c:/squirrelmail/data/’;

$attachment_dir= ‘c:/squirrelmail/attach/’;

Finally, now open in browser- http://localhost/mail/index.php/ and login your own email server as type username and password which you given. Visit above images as clearly representing. Now, you are able to compose mail as you created your own email server…

Despite review committee guidelines, private institutions collect extra money from students

Engineering colleges have released notifications on fee structure for the new academic year. There is no fine print here, however.

In order to avoid censure, private and deemed institutes resort to levying additional charges under miscellaneous heads, after the academic year begins.

Sreedevi Arjunan, a second-year computer science student from an engineering college in Manimangalam, said she paid Rs 3.2 lakh as capitation fee, besides the tuition fee of Rs. 2 lakh for two years.

“Immediately after joining, we were asked to pay Rs. 16,000 for induction, uniforms and starter lessons, and Rs. 19,000 for books. But we were given just six books and a set of notes that our seniors had used. The books have to be returned at the end of the academic year,” she said.

K. Selvakumar, student of engineering college in Kundrathur, said he was charged Rs. 12,000 for books and Rs. 15,000 for ‘extra-curricular activities’. “When I wished to leave the college a week after joining, they said my class XII marksheets would be returned only if I paid the entire course fees of Rs. 3.5 lakh,” he said.

Last year, self-financing colleges were asked to charge students no more than Rs. 40,000 for non-accredited courses and Rs. 45,000 for accredited ones. A management seat was priced at Rs. 70,000. Most private colleges, however, charge much more than the stipulated amount.

An Anna University official said the University could interfere only in the academic matters of affiliated colleges. Two years ago, the government had formed a committee to review and inspect colleges that were suspected to be charging excess fees from students.

The committee’s report said nearly 50 of the 80 reviewed colleges charging excess money from students. Sources said a few of these colleges were asked to reimburse the excess amount collected but none of the institutes were strictly dealt with.

In many private colleges, levying fine is yet another money-making affair. “There are ‘sudden’ inspections when the entire class is pulled up for not wearing the proper kind of shoes. Everyone is asked to pay up Rs. 100 each. In four years of college life, a student ends up paying at least Rs. 10,000 as fine amount,” said Selvakumar.

In many colleges, absence of a day means paying Rs. 50 as fine. “We are also fined for not dressing properly, which may include wearing shirts with two pockets,” said T. Anbu, student of a college in Palanchur.

Additionally, carrying laptops, mobile phones or even hard disks can attract a fine of Rs. 100. Talking to girls, hanging out in the canteen for more than 20 minutes or not bringing the ID card — there is a fine for everything, Anbu said.

Many colleges also ask students to pay an annual recreation-sports fee of Rs. 5,000. “Our college ground is shared by three other institutions and there is hardly any space to play sports. Besides, we have no trainer or a P.T. period,” said Anjali Jaishankar, a student of an engineering college in Padappai.

These colleges also charge students around Rs. 22,000 a year for compulsory bus facility. “The college cites safety as the reason for not allowing bikes on campus. But why can’t we be allowed to use public transport? The bus fees is unnecessary expenditure for third- and final-year students as often we don’t have to go to college because of project work,” said Neerav Jain, student of a college in Kelambakkam.

But having to pay thousands for poor-quality mess food is the worst, said students. “Our college does not have a kitchen. We are supplied packed meals from a hotel and it is not worth paying Rs. 8,000 a semester,” said Ranjani Sreekumar who studies in a Padur college.

Last year, a college in Nemmili asked its 400 eligible students to pay Rs. 1,000 each to sit for the aptitude test of the only company that came for placements. Five students were offered jobs.

“For final-year students who don’t get placed in companies, colleges offer to organise job fairs. Students are asked to pay Rs. 2,000 each for this. But, not even three students qualified for the interviews,” said R. Kannagi, a student of the college.

Fix Delay When Typing in Windows

Fix Delay When Typing in Windows

I recently ran into a very annoying problem while using Microsoft Word on my Windows 7 machine. Firstly, it’s a fairly fast machine and so I kind of knew it was not a hardware issue when I saw there was a delay between typing characters on the keyboard and them showing up on the screen. Sometimes there was no delay, but randomly the delay would jump to a second or even several seconds!

I was pretty sure it wasn’t related to the processing power of the machine because it’s a Core i5 laptop running Windows 7! After doing a lot of research, I finally managed to figure out what the issue was and now I don’t have any more lag between typing and characters showing up on the screen. However, depending on your system, you may or may not be able to fix the problem.

In this article, I’ll try to go through all the different reasons why you could be having this problem and how to solve it, if possible.

Hardware – Graphics Card

Even if you have a fast processor, the delay between your keyboard and screen could be caused by having an integrated graphics card. Integrated graphics cards are much cheaper than a dedicated graphics card and can be the bottleneck in the whole transfer of your typing into words on the screen. This is especially true if you type really fast, i.e. 40+ words a minute. If you didn’t have this problem before and now you’re having it all of a sudden, then it’s probably not the graphics card, so keep reading.

Hardware – Memory Module

Even though this is rare, if you have a faulty memory module or a memory module that is not properly seated, then one of the manifestations of that could be delayed typing. If you know how to check your memory, it’s a good idea to take the chips out and put them back in one by one and see if makes any difference.

You can also run a memory diagnostic on your compute using a free program called Memtest86. You can download it here:

Software – Lack of Resources

The other main culprit is simply lack of system resources. It doesn’t matter how much memory or how fast your processor is, if all the RAM is being used and the CPU is running at 100% utilization, then you’ll see lag not only if typing, but in doing normal computer activities. On a Windows machine, go ahead and open task manager by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC.

Go ahead and click on the Performance tab and you’ll see a few graphs for CPU Usage and Memory. Make sure are not completely green, meaning being completely utilized. If you see your CPU usage is anything over 50% consistently, then you have to determine which program(s) are causing the spike and either remove them or disable them.

This can also be caused on systems that have a lot of malware installed or have a virus. If you suspect any type of computer infection, try to remove that first.

Lastly, make sure you disable any CPU-intensive programs like anti-virus software. A lot of times anti-virus software can go crazy and start scanning everything under the sun and it can really slow the system down. If you have anti-virus running, try disabling it and see if the delay in typing goes away.

Software – Clean Boot

If you have determined that it’s something to do with Windows, then the next step is to perform a clean boot. A clean boot basically disables all startup items and all non-Microsoft services and then starts up the computer. You can read step by step instructions on how to perform a clean boot here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

If you find that there is no typing delay after a clean boot, then you know either a service or a startup program is causing the problem. You’ll have to follow the directions on how to enable items one by one to figure out what specific process or service is slowing down the system. It’s a little time intensive, but it’s better than having to reinstall Windows.

If you have a computer from HP or Dell, it’s probably full of bloat-ware. It may be a good idea to simply perform a clean install of Windows if you have the time, patience and knowledge. You can go through and uninstall all that extra stuff too, but it usually ends up staying in your registry.

Both WiFi and LAN Enabled

It has also been confirmed that this issue can occur if you have both WiFi and LAN enabled on your Windows PC. Go ahead and disable one network connection, then restart and see if the issue occurs.

Other Issues

- Make sure you are not running out of hard disk space. If you are low on hard disk space, go ahead and use a program like CCleaner to delete temp files, etc. Uninstall some programs to free up space.

- Update all drivers on your computer. A few people have said updating their graphics card and other hardware drivers fixed the problem. If you are using a special keyboard of some sort, make sure you download the latest driver for that.

- If you’re using a wireless keyboard, try a keyboard that plugs in directly to the computer and see if the issue goes away. It could be a problem with the wireless keyboard.

- If you’re using a laptop and getting the delay, try taking out the battery and see if the delay in typing goes away. Oddly, some people said taking the battery out fixed the issue.
