Basic Computer Operations: Operating Windows
Computer – a programmable, electromechanical machine that accepts raw data (input) and process it in
to useful information (output).
Send to other
computer via Network
Personal Computer (PC) – Also called Microcomputer, are small computers that can fit next to a desk
or on a desktop, or can be carried around. A personal computer may be a desktop computer, a laptop,
tablet PC or a handheld PC (also called palmtop).
The Monitor
The System Unit
The System Unit (SU) – Also called the system cabinet but popularly called CPU, is the box or cabinet
that contains the microcomputers processing and memory hardware and other components. This is
where the actual computing (processing) of data is being done. Almost all the devices are connected
directly to the system unit.
The upright standing system unit above is called a tower type case or chassis.
Peripheral Device – any device that is connected and controlled by the computer. It can be internal like
disk drives and adapter cards, or external like the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
The Monitor – is an electronic visual display for computers. Allows the PC to return information to the
user
The monitor above is a flat-panel or flat-screen monitor. Another type of monitor is the older CRT
monitor.
The Keyboard – is an input device that looks like the keyboard from typewriter. It converts letters,
numbers, symbols and other characters into a form that the computer can process.
The Mouse – pointing device that is roll-about on a desktop to control the pointer or cursor on the
computer’s display screen. It is named “mouse” because of its similarity to the actual mouse (animal)
having an oval body and a long tail at the rear.
Starting-up and shutting down the PC
1. Connecting
Check if all your cables and connectors are connected properly. Loose connections make some
devices not to work properly or not to work at all. Improper connections, (i.e. reversed
connections or connected to wrong ports) might harm or damage some devices.
2. Plugging
After checking connections, it’s time plug you computer to the AC outlet. Plug the computer power
cable to the AVR or UPS then plug all peripheral devices and then plug the AVR or UPS to the AC
outlet. Be careful of loose power connections for it can severely damage you computer.
When everything on the desktop is loaded, you can now use you computer.
* Note: Sometimes, some computers have usernames and passwords. You have to enter the correct
username and password to be able to use that computer.
5. Shutting down a PC
Unlike turning off an electric fan or TV where you just have to push the power button again,
shutting down properly a PC uses a different process. Because just pushing the power button of the
PC and not doing the proper process can lead to malfunctioning of the PC. You can properly
shutdown a PC in by following the instruction in COMPLAB Operation sheet 1.
COMPLAB Operation sheet 1
Starting-up and shutting down the PC
1. Connecting:
a) Check the connections of the different peripheral devices in you SU. If a device is not connected, try to connect it in
the proper port.
b) Also, check for reversed or loose connected devices.
Fig. 4: PS2 ports. If you can notice, the keyboard and mouse port (also PS2 port) has 6 round
holes and 1 rectangular hole. The rectangular hole is an indicator for the proper connecting.
Also make sure that you avoid bending the pins. This will lead to malfunctioning of the device.
c) You can check the proper ports for the devices in figure 3.
d) Double check you work.
2. Plugging:
a) After making sure that all the connections are ok, you can now plug the SU to the AVR or UPS.
b) Then plug the remaining peripherals.
c) Lastly plug the AVR or UPS to the AC outlet.
d) Double check you work.
3. Turning-on the computer:
a) Push the power switch/button of the AVR or UPS first. If the AVR or UPS has a light (usually green) on it, it’s now
turned-on.
b) Push the power button of the SU and Monitor.
c) Now switch-on the other peripheral devices. (Speaker, Printer, Scanner, etc.)
4. Waiting the computer to “Boot-up”:
a) After you switch-on the SU and Monitor, what you will see in the screen is called the POST.
Fig. 5: The POST. The POST will check if there’s any error on your PC
before it boots-up. If a “Keyboard Error” appears, it’s either you
didn’t connect the keyboard properly or you have a non-functioning
keyboard. Just reconnect it and restart the PC (using reset button) to
make sure.
If a “CMOS Error” appears, that means your CMOS battery is out of
charge. Just press “continue” (usually F1) to continue to booting.
b) After POST, the booting begins. If an “Operating System not found” or “Disk boot failure” appears, that means
either you do not have an OS installed on your PC or the PC does not detect your hard disk.
c) You’ll know if your computer is booting when you see this on your screen:
Fig. 6: Different OS
Loading screens (From
Left; Windows XP,
Mac OS, Linux
d) The computer is done loading when you see the desktop and all the icons in the systray is complete.
5. Shutting down a PC:
a) At the desktop click “Start”, located at the lower left of the screen.
Fig. 7a: The Start button
The Desktop is the first display that we will see every time the computer was completely loaded and
ready for use. It’s where we do our computer related task. It’s also where can see the icons, desktop
background, the task bar and start button.
A Window will appear every time we open a folder or windows program. When we open a folder, we
can see parts of a window, like the title bar, menu bar, address bar and common tasks.
Folders are directories where we can save our files and programs.
Icons are small pictures that represent a folder, file or program. If we want to open a folder, file or
program, we double-click their icon.
b) As you can see the new folder’s name is “New Folder”, you can change this by typing a new name and pressing
“Enter".
2. Renaming an icon:
a) To rename an icon, right-click on the icon that you want to rename, then click rename, then type the new name of
the icon, and then press enter.
b) If you are going rename a file, be sure not to change its file name extension (.doc or .txt). It could make the file
unusable. Except if you intended to change the file type.
3. Moving icons:
a) There are two ways to move an icon. You can use your recently created folder as the new location.
b) First create a new notepad or text document. You can also rename it if you want.
c) On way to move an icon is to drag-and-drop the icon to its new location. You can do this by click and hold the icon
of the notepad or text document, then point your mouse pointer over the icon of your folder, and when the icon
changes color (usually blue), release your finger from holding.
d) Open your folder to check if the notepad or text document has been moved in your
folder.
e) To use cut and copy to move an icon, right click at your notepad or text
document, then click Cut, then go to a different directory (ex. My
Documents), and then right click at the background and click Paste.
f) You can also move multiple icons by selecting the icons that you want to move
using drag and drop selection and doing the process above.
Fig. 9e: Selecting 2 icons using drag and drop.
g) Cut and paste are usually used for moving an icon to a location where you cannot use drop and drag.
4. Copying an icon:
a) Copying an icon means to duplicate or make a copy of the file or folder.
b) To do this, open My Documents folder, then right-click on your notepad or text document and click Copy, and then
go to your folder, right click on the background and click paste.
c) You can check if you successfully copied the icon if it both exists in MY Documents and your folder.
5. Deleting and Restoring an icon:
a) Deleting an icon doesn’t mean removing it completely but just to throw it in the computer’s trash can called the
Recycle Bin.
b) Delete your notepad or text document by right-clicking it and choosing Delete or you can also select you notepad or
text document and pressing Delete button on you keyboard.
c) Then the “Confirm file delete” message will appear. Click yes to send you file
in to the recycle bin. It is now deleted. To restore deleted files, open the
recycle bin, find your file, then right-click and choose Restore.
d) The deleted file will return to its original location.
6. Changing the properties of an icon:
a) To change the properties of an icon, just right click the icon and click
Properties. Depending on what’s you icon type, you will notice that you can
check Read-only and Hidden boxes. Just check any and click OK. >>
b) If you choose to hide an icon, you won’t be able to see that icon unless that
you configure you computer to view hidden objects.
c) To view hidden files and folders, open My Computer, click Tools in the menu
bar, and then click Folder Options...
d) The Folder Options window will appear. Click View tab and check “Show
Hidden Files and Folders” and click OK.
Fig. 9f/9c: Left – Checked show
hidden files and folders. Right – New Folder Properties window.
Touch typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. Touch typing typically involves
placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard (the home row) and
having them reach for other keys.
Fig. 10: The ten fingers with corresponding keys. Fig. 11: Colored blue is the keyboard Home Row
Space
bar
You will also feel a small bump or line over “F” and “J” keys. It’s because these keys are the one where
we put our two pointing fingers. It helps us find where the home keys are even with out looking at the
keyboard.
The proper sitting position is to sit up straight, elbows close to the body and keep your shoulders, arms
and hands relaxed.

Creating a Formal Letter
Spreadsheet Software - (sometimes referred to simply as spreadsheets) are computer programs that let
you create and manipulate spreadsheets electronically. In a spreadsheet application, each value sits in
a cell. You can define what type of data is in each cell and how different cells depend on one another.
The relationships between cells are called formulas, and the names of the cells are called labels.

Working with Formulas: Business and Financial
Instructions:
1. Copy the rest of the document below:
Now we can begin computing the Payment, Principal, Interest and Balance on each payment period:
7. On cell B7, compute the Payment. To compute the Payment, type this formula:
Explanation: The formula for getting Payment is =PMT(rate, nper, pv) Where:
rate = Annual Interest Rate / No. of Payments, in this case: =PMT(B1/B3,
nper (number of periods) = Years * Payments per Year, in this case: =PMT(B1/B3,B2*B3,
pv (principal value) = Amount, in this case: =PMT(B1/B3,B2*B3,B4)
8. The answer should be: ($8,560.75), the parenthesis and red color means that it is a negative
number.
9. You should do this for all the payment numbers, but there is a shortcut for copying a formula.
10. First, in B7, put a dollar sign ($) in front of the letter and number inside the formulas:
Explanation:
The formula to get the Principal is =PPMT(rate, per, nper, pv) where per is the payment period
14. Do the same steps in 9 to 11 but change B7 to C7
15. To compute the Interest, type this formula:
Explanation:
The formula to get the Interest is =IPMT(rate, per, nper, pv) where per is the payment period
16. Do the same steps in 9 to 11 but change B7 to D7
17. Now, finally, to compute the Balance.
18. The formula for Balance is: Balance = Previous Balance + Current Principal
19. On the above case, on E7, type =B4+C7
Explanation: The previous balance is the amount loaned (B4) and the current principal for the 1st
payment is C7.
20. For the 2nd payment, the previous balance will change from B4 to E7.
