Simple computer maintenance to keep your computer running fast.
Alright listen up because I am tired of explaining this over the phone. This will help anyone with a computer…who does not know.
Three simple things to keep your computer running faster:
1.) Clear your browser.(internet explorer, firefox, I recommend the Google Chrome browser) How do I clear the browser? look for tools on your browser and delete all of the browsing history, cookies, cache. Uncheck your saved “forms & password” so you don’t delete those. Close the program.
2)If you are on a PC run “disc cleanup” You can find this by going to the “start” botton then “all programs”-”System Tools”-”Disc Cleanup” Run Disc cleanup. If you have a MAC (and you should) you do not need to do this, it maintains itself.
3)Again if you have a PC…when “disc cleanup” is done run “disc defragmenter” Go back to the same place you found disc cleanup and the disc defrag.. is right near it. Defragment your C: drive. When it is done. Restart your computer. Again if you have a MAC (and you should) it has a Journaling file system and it does this all by itself.
I know most of you will need to use all three steps because you have a PC. Get a MAC. If you are stuck with a PC check out LINUX, thousands of “distros” start with Ubuntu it is simple, they are all free. Oh yeah it will run faster than any windows “distro”.
I dual boot my MacBook Pro with Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) and MAC OSX. LINUX has no chains, you have access to everything and you will learn quite a bit about computers learning about it.
