Lesson 5
Computer Literacy Basics
by Morrison & Wells
System software facilitates the use of a computer
system
An OS (operating system) enables the computer
hardware to communicate and operate with the
application software
Perform jobs such as recognizing input from
keyboard, sending output to monitor, keeping
track of files and directories, and controlling
peripheral devices such as printers
Use programs called
drivers
to communicated with
hardware devices
Manages resources for applications
Performs system and file maintenance tasks
prepares desktop
manages visual and audio effects
handles memory
maintains power settings
file system
the way the OS stores files on a disk
allows you to find and retrieve files you store
also identifies sections of the disk not being used
OS provides interface between the user or
application program and the computer
hardware
Microsoft Windows
runs on Intel processors or clones
Windows XP is most widely used
Windows 7 scheduled for release 2009
Max OS X
runs on Macintosh computers
version 10.6 is newest
UNIX
used by scientists and programmers
developed by programmers for AT&T
multitasking, portable OS (means it can run on
just about any hardware platform)
Variations:
Linux
open-source
stable and rarely crashes
IBM’s AIX
Also known as mobile operating systems
Similar to Windows or Linux
Smaller, less capable than desktop OSs
Used in cell phones, PDAs, handheld computers, mobile
game players, cameras
Embedded OSs reside on a ROM chip
Examples:
Blackberry OS
Embedded Linux
Palm OS
Symbian OS
Windows Embedded CE
Windows Mobile
Example
you use a PC at school and have a
MAC at home
Emulation card
added to motherboard and
allows computer to run a program designed for a
different OS
Example: enables MAC to run Windows
Software emulation programs
to run a
programs not on that platform
File types
.txt
readable by most word processors on different
systems
loses formatting
.
rtf
retains more formatting commands
Tasks you are allowed to perform are defined by your
user rights.
System administrator (has administrator account)
sets the user rights to protect the computer’s security.
Creates account and passwords
Creating or deleting user accounts
Changing account names, pictures, passwords and other
data
Establishes security access levels
Allocates storage space
Monitors systems
Must have administrative rights to make changes to
system modifications
Incompatibility
—OS won’t let you install or run
incompatible programs or open files that it
doesn’t recognize—
application software and files
need to be compatible with the OS
File corruption
resulting from power failure,
virus, bad sectors on hard drive, bad software
installation, etc.
System utility can be used to repair corrupted files
Disk crashes
System is unstable; might shut
down unexpectedly and receive error messages.
Upgrade or reinstall OS
