Computer Maintenance - Do it YOURSELF!
Your version of Windows has a help file, that will show you how to defragment your drive. Do this at LEAST once a month. ( To defragment in Windows XP: Open My Computer, and right click on your "C" drive. Select Properties, then click on the Tools tab and select Defragment Now. )4.) Ensure that all critical Windows updates are performed.(In Windows XP: Go to My Computer, and double click on Control Panel. Next, click on Windows update, on the left panel.)5.) Be weary of installing software that will not be used regularly. Many people install software daily, only to find that Windows “runs” slower, as more software is installed. Most software creates entries in the “Registry”, and when most software is un-installed, the registry entry stays – thus slowing down computer performance. Have you ever wondered why your computer seems so fast when it is brand new, or after Windows is freshly installed? More software installed usually equals slower speed.6.) Do not allow too many programs to load up when Windows start. You know the little task bar at the bottom of your screen? The right side of that taskbar usually has a few icons. Many people ask “why is my computer loading so slow?” Many times, it’s because too many programs are set to load at startup, and you will have to wait while each icon shows up in your task bar, and the respective program loads.When you install software, if given the option, only choose “startup with Windows” if it is mandatory (such as antivirus, firewalls, etc). The more programs that you load at startup, the more resources you are using, thus slowing down your computer significantly.7.) Do not allow your hard drive to “fill up”. Always have as a rule of thumb, make sure that you have 700MB of free space (700 megabytes) on your hard drive.Pages: 1 [2] 3
