தேசியக் கொடி ஏற்றும்போது அதில் பூக்கள் வைப்பது ஏன்??

Whatsapp now on Web..!!

                   Here's how to get WhatsApp on your phone, tablet, laptop AND your PC, all at once.

Step 1 :

Using WhatsApp in your web browser couldn't be easier. On your computer or tablet launch the Chrome browser (other browsers are not supported) and head tohttps://web.whatsapp.com. A QR code will pop up on screen on your PC. You do not need a QR reader installed on your phone to read this. Note that if you're using a tablet you will need to request the desktop site in Chrome's settings (and no, this won't work in Chrome on an iPad, even if you have an Android phone).

 

Step 2. Launch WhatsApp on your phone and click the three dots at the top right to access more options, then choose WhatsApp on the web. 

 

Step 3. A QR reader will then open on your phone; point this at your PC screen to read the code and be automatically logged into WhatsApp on the web.

 

Step 4. The interface will be familiar to WhatsApp phone users, but you should note that desktop notifications are supported, which you may want to switch off in the settings menu for privacy reasons if this is a shared PC. As on the phone, tapping the three-dot icon brings up more options. Select Notifications, and then deselect Desktop Alerts and Sounds.

 

Step 5. Starting a new conversation is slightly different on the desktop. As for the phone you can click the new message icon to select one of your contacts, but in WhatsApp on the web the search function lets you start new conversations as well as filter existing chats.

 

Step 6. Within a conversation the interface matches that of the phone, with emotion and mic icons sitting either side of the bottom text-entry field, and a paperclip icon at the top to attach files. Beside this is a more options icon that lets you view contact info. And as on the phone you get the single-, twin- and blue-tick system to show whether messages have been sent, delivered and read. 

 

Step 7. Once your phone and computer are connected you are able to manage your logged in computers from your phone via the Options, WhatsApp on the web menu. From here you can log out from all computers, or you can use the options menu in WhatsApp on the web to log out from the PC you're currently using. WhatsApp will by default keep you logged in unless you specify otherwise, but having logged out you'll need to go through the QR code process again the next time you want to log into WhatsApp on that machine. 

Messages between phone and browser are instantly synched, so users on limited mobile data contracts should be wary of increased data usage. It's a good idea to switch on your Wi-Fi if you're a heavy WhatsApp user.

Wonder why can't you use full of your system's RAM ..!!

• Looks like you're using a 32 bit operating system windows . Because a 32-bit operating system has only enough addresses to handle 4GB of memory.One you past that , it doesn't know how to handle it.
• To check whether your system run with 32-bit or more,  try this                                                         Computer (right click) -- Properties  (or) Press Winorb + Ctrl/break button together.

• If you have 32-bit operating system, you still can't use the full 4 GB because the OS needs some of those addresses to interface with the hardware.Usually it takes half or more than a Gigabyte, exact amount may vary.
• So, to take full advantage of 4GB, you need a 64 bit operating system. Of course the latest versions of windows come in both 32 & 64 bit versions.
• But beware, there's a chance that you might not have the right hardware to install 64 bit version. To make sure, download the Gibson Research's free program, https://www.grc.com/securable.htm.Securable . If the program displays a big 64, you can then upgrade to 64 bit version of windows.

• And just to be safe, you should make full backup before doing the install.
