Your Computer Needs an Oil Change! If you know the importance of taking your car
for an oil change every 3 Santiago
Castano Jersey ,000 miles then you understand the importance of
computer maintenance. Many people take their cars to a service station while
some change the oil themselves. Luckily, to perform computer maintenance you
don't need to put your PC on a lift and get dirty underneath it. However, it's
important to know what you're doing. Some people hire a "computer guy" to take
care of all their PC needs. If you're a little tech savvy and know a little bit
about your machine you can save some money doing these tasks yourself and maybe
learn a little something on the way. These days there are a number of developers
out there creating programs to make maintenance tasks for those who may not know
the ins and outs of their machine but wish to automate many of the tasks that
need to be done to keep their PC running in optimal shape (visit
wwwiendlysystems.net to see some of these programs). Below are some basic tips:
? Be careful not to bump or drop your computer and do not put any objects on top
of it ? Never turn off your computer when the hard drive light is on because
data on the hard drive could be lost or corrupted ? Keep your screen clean with
a proper cleaning gel and use a soft wipe like the kind you would use for
expensive sunglasses ? Drain the battery on your laptop at least once a month
almost all the way down before re-charging it. This will extend its life and
give you a longer lasting charge ? Scan your computer for Trojans and viruses on
a regular basis and make sure the definitions for those programs are up to date
? Never click on links contained in emails from people you don't know. I
personally do not like clicking on blind links. I would rather have the URL and
paste that into a browser. ? Avoid P2P sites that offer free software and music.
These places often have many infections ready for your download ? Keep liquids
away from your computer to avoid spilling ? Keep your PC clean. Free from dust
and pet hair is a life saver If you are getting weird error messages or your PC
seems to be getting slow especially at startup and freezing Sal
Zizzo Jersey , chances are this is a result of poor PC maintenance.
? Do you have trouble finding the files on your computer? ? When starting a
program does it take forever to load? ? Does your computer seem to have a mind
of its own? It may be time for basic housecleaning. Cleaning out the Temp folder
in Window Vista is often a necessary maintenance step when the Windows Vista
Disk Cleanup utility fails to completely clean out the Temp folder. Manually
cleaning out the Temp folder in Window XP is often a necessary maintenance step
when the Windows XP Disk Cleanup utility fails to clean out the Temp folder
automatically. Flat screen monitors, also known as LCD monitors, are a little
different than their CRT cousins when it comes to cleaning. Flat screen monitors
require special care when cleaning because their displays are sensitive and
easily scratched and damaged. Cleaning a Mouse track ball and rollers will make
it a lot smoother Sacha
Kljestan Jersey , however most mice these days are laser and do not
require much maintenance. Over time files get scattered all over the hard drive
and then get moved, deleted, copied and so on and fragments of unused space gets
left over. By defragging your PC you will be basically organizing the contents
of your drive. Your PC will move things around so that it's easier for the
machine to find the bits needed to bring you the information you are requesting.
There are programs that perform this task on the fly or run automatically when
your computer is idle. Another type of maintenance involves keeping drivers and
patches up to date. Sometimes you may find that a mouse Roy
Miller Jersey , keyboard, or other USB device no long seems to
work. If you plug the device into another free USB port it starts to work. USBs
can be silly like that sometimes and you may find that your PC is behind on
driver updates. It's important to keep up with Microsoft updates as they are
constantly in a race to continue patching the many holes in its operating
systems. The moment they fix one hole hackers find another. It seems like a
constant battle. Hopefully one day Microsoft will start from scratch and build
an OS much more solid. We have some software recommendations at our web site
that keep your drivers and software up to date for you. Want to add years to the
life of your computer? Then make sure to set aside time for backing up your data
and performing regular maintenance on your computer. Seek the advice and even
help of an IT professional if needed. To prevent your computer from running out
of storage space, it's a good idea to remove files that you no longer need. I
recommend purchasing a USB drive to not only move un-needed files and archive
them but to hold a copy of your most important data. This is also a part of
maintenance that you should get in the habit of doing. By backing up to a USB
drive you no longer have to fear losing your data if your PC decides to stop
working for some reason. Set up a regular maintenance schedule to keep your
computer running at its best. Make this an important habit and it will save you
pain and grief down the road. For more info on PC tips and great software visit
