Useful Tips

Here are a few helpful tips that can improve the performance of your computer and give you ideas you can use with your system.

Computer Operations

  • Don't open too many programs while working on your computer. The more things that are open, the slower your system will run.
  • Don't have too many background things going on either, like resource eating screensavers, desktop background images, and lot's of sounds. They help to slow your computer too.
  • Clean unwanted and unneccessary files.
  • Defrag often. This helps your computer to run faster and better.
  • Keep an up-to-date antivirus program running to help protect you from all the viruses out there.
  • While online have some kind of firewall running to help protect you from hackers.
  • Be careful who you give your personal information to online.

Printers

  • When you purchase a new printer, I think its best to price the cartridge first, getting the least expensive. Then match your printer to the cartridge.  This way the item that you have to repeateedly replace will be the cheaper item.

Maintenance Issues

  • Keep your laptop, PC and other computer equipment out of extreme hot and cold temperatures, which could affect the performance of the PC and equipment.
  • Keep your equipment clean and dry. Dirt, dust and liguids will only hurt your equipment.
