Very often we use words without knowing the real meaning. In computer there are many technical terms which may seem Greek and Latin to many. Few of these words are relatively close in structure but different in meaning. For example the words "reinstall", "reboot" and "reload" look similar, but they are entirely different in function. For example, a user who doesn’t have sufficient knowledge about technical terms used in a computer might feel that the terms “reboot” and “reload” are the same. However, it isn’t so! Reboot refers to a function in a computer which involves restarting or “booting” up the operating system once again whereas reload refers to a function in Windows machine which will allow a user to reload a page, programs or a window. System reboots are often used to apply changes in settings and other major changes in the files of the system. Need help to know this better? Go through these instructions developed by the Microsoft Windows Vista help forum.
Instructions
• Exit from every program that is currently running on our Windows Vista installed machine, you can either close them one by one or you can opt for “End process” option in Windows Task manager.
• Bring on the startup menu by clicking on the “Start” tab that is placed on the taskbar down below your desktop.
• In the contextual menu that pops up which is better known as startup menu, you can see a tab with the name “Shutdown”, clicking on it will provide you various options.
• From the contextual menu, just pick out the “Restart” tab.
• Once you click on the “Restart” tab, it will take a few moments for the Windows Vista operating system to shut down the operating system and to reboot the programs including the system files as well as user files.
• When the Windows Vista machine is done with system restart, you will be able to access each and every program or files and folders installed on your computer, however it is well advised to hang around for a few seconds as it will take a bit of time for the Windows to load up certain essential start on programs such as antivirus and Windows firewall.
