Choosing Languages When Formatting Computer
Our next screen here is the regional and language options. If you’re going to be living in the United States you can just click next. You can actually go through and customize the details but to tell you the truth you really don’t need to, just click on next. Once you do this it’s going to ask you how would you like to name your computer? At this point you could put Mary Jones, or David Justin or a lot of times if it’s going to be a generic kind of computer, maybe a office, I just usually do either Home Office or The Office or anything like that. You don’t have to put the organization if you don’t want to but just the; I’m putting Home Office and then just do next. If you’re going to be on a network which is a bunch of computers connected to each other, they all have to have individual names, specific names, in this case the computer gives you a name, “home” because we did home office and then it gives you a random set of numbers. If you’d like to you can actually just wipe out those numbers and again in this case I’m just going to do office and just say “Next”. Okay the next screen coming up the computer recognizes that you have a modem on your computer. Modems are a bit outdated but still some people use them, most people have a network connection if they have DSL or cable, that’s not what we are talking about right here, this would be a modem if like you had a fax connected to this or an AOL, which is going out of business, dial-up connection, then you would use this. It’s asking you what the area code is of your home and in this case we’re going to do 310 and just do “next”. Now it’s looking for the internal clock, on your computer, all computers have a, an extra little battery inside, it’s called the internal clock and that actually keeps everything going. Today is Thursday, October the 18th, 2007 at 1:19PM and we are in Pacific Standard Time, I’m going to have the clock be adjusted for daylight savings time so again all I’m really doing, is doing “next”. The approximate time comes up again, in case it’s thirty-two minutes. It’s installing the network installation. This would be going through and looking to see if you have a network card on the computer and if it does its going to try and install it for you.
