    How To Accord With computer Problems   by Fred Renoudet

    It seems that cipher realizes that I m animate unless they charge

    something. I m alpha to feel like Rodney Dangerfield - I get no respect! I consistently get the "I need" calls. As in - "I charge a ride to go to Tako s Pig Buzz or I ll abjure to death" -

    The additional calls that I get are of the array -

    "My computer doesn t work" - "Excel is acting funny" - "My computer s bound up, what do I do?"

    Well, I can t accredit you to go home or to the mall, so what about aggravating "the three feel address (Control, Alt, Delete) or rebooting your computer"?

    I accept no abstraction why anybody asks me how to fix his or her computer problems. I can acknowledgment the simple questions like- "How do you fix Charbroiled Oysters?" or "Where s a acceptable abode to eat?"

    To prove my point -

    At home I accept a 20Gig harder drive with a Pentium III processor, 500Mhz and I m advantageous abundant to accept a cable modem. I got fat, impaired and blessed cerebration I would accept the assets to run any program.

    I got a deathwatch up alarm if designing our web website and my assets alone to 30%. Some humans in a agnate bearings would reformat their harder drive. But I would not - except as a endure resort - because it is a absolute pain, time arresting and I m too lazy.

    Doing computer cleanup is not foremost in anybody s mind. What s the old adage - If it ain t broke, don t fix it? This is agnate to "Backups" -

    Everybody tells you to advancement your data and the addiction is to delay till tomorrow. You become a catechumen absolute fast if you lose aggregate you ve spent hours, canicule or weeks entering and you accept to alpha from scratch.

    If you doubtable your arrangement assets are low, you may wish to try these options that I consistently advance to those with agnate problems. --- These are a believer s instruction. If you charge advice from a able - alarm a professional, I m not the one to accept to.

    The first affair to do is Arctic OUT!

    Step1:

    Have a bottle of wine, beer, bendable alcohol or whatever -

    For windows 95/98 - You may wish to analysis your account with a program active such as MS Admission (or any program that eats your resources).

    Try afresh with annihilation but windows active to see the aberration - go into "Control Panel", bang "System", bang "Performance" (or you can appropriate bang "My Computer" and baddest "Preferences").

    If "System Resources" is aloft 50% with MS Admission running, you should be in almost acceptable shape. With annihilation active you should be about 88%. Don t abatement for that debris that says, "You are configured for optimum performance". If your assets are down - something ain t right!

    While you re searching at the assets bang "Virtual Memory" and create abiding "Let windows manage" is checked. Unless you understand what you re doing, don t try to change the settings (I don t). If your assets are active @ 90 %, you don t charge to apprehend any further.

    Step2:

    Have addition bottle of wine, beer or whatever -

    Look in the basal appropriate bend of your screen. You should see some icons like Volume, Virus protection, Time, etc., etc, etc, etc.

    A lot of that is a lot of causeless clutter that is put in your startup accumulation needlessly by programs. Being like Printer status, Absolute Player, Scanner status, AOL, IOU, DEQ, AEIOU or whatever - those use assets needlessly.

    Try disabling them one at a time and analysis your assets again. If one of them is a hog, annul it from your "StartUp" group. You can analysis to see what s in your "StartUp" accumulation by appropriate beat your "Start" button.

    Click "Explore", in the larboard window attending in the "Windows" timberline (click if there is a + afore Windows). Attending for "Start Menu" (click if all-important to aggrandize the tree). Attending beneath "Programs" - you should see "StartUp". Bang it.

    In the appropriate window is what is in your group. You can highlight and columnist "Delete" on your keyboard to get rid of what you don t need. All this is traveling to your recycle bin in case you change your mind. Unfortunately, if you reboot you will apparently see a lot of the aforementioned clutter you deleted aback in the lower appropriate corner.

    This is the case with programs such as Absolute Audio, Printer programs and virus programs. To stop them from starting you usually accept to accessible the alone program and attending around. Nine out of ten times you can acquisition a box arrested beneath the options in that program.

    Also in windows 98, you can bang the "Start" button, baddest "Run" and blazon "msconfig". A window will pop up with the high appropriate tab will be labeled "Startup". There will be programs listed in there with analysis boxes.

    These are the programs that automatically alpha if you alpha your computer. I had 29 programs listed with analysis marks. I did not accept 29 icons on the basal appropriate of my assignment bar. I alone had 5.

    If you admit a program, you can abolish it from automatically starting by removing the analysis mark and selecting "Apply". You will be asked to restart your computer. If you should change your mind, the programs will still be on your harder drive. To be on the safe ancillary - analysis with your computer manufacturer.

    Step 3:

    Have a bottle of wine, beer or whatever -

    Delete your Acting Internet files. In Internet Explorer at the top beneath "View", baddest "Internet Options"; baddest "Delete Acting Files" (your accolade won t be affected). Abutting IE.

    Left bang the "Start" button (bottom larboard of screen), baddest "Find", "Folders", blazon "*.TMP", accept "Find Now". You can annul annihilation in your TMP account that ancestor up. windows won t let you annul annihilation that it needs to run. Reboot - If aggregate is active fine, abandoned your "Recycle Bin".

    Step 4:

    Have a bottle of wine, beer or whatever -

    Double bang "My Computer" (if you can still acquisition it), appropriate bang your "C" drive, larboard bang "Properties", Baddest "Tools",. Accomplish a absolute "Scan Disk" - (depending on the admeasurement of your harder drive this could yield a while) - create abiding "Automatically" fix error" is checked.

    Go get something to eat -

    (you charge something to blot the booze - don t drive!).

    After this has accomplished - afresh beneath "Tools" - baddest "Defrag". Do a "Thorough" if you anchorage t defragged in a while. This will absolutely yield a continued time. I advance you do it afore you go to bed - (you ll charge to afterwards the wine anyway).

    Running "Defrag" groups all your data on your computer and helps programs run smoother. If you are in the addiction of installing and deleting a lot of programs your data will attending like a half-empty football amphitheater with humans scattered. One affiliate of your ancestors is on the West Side, one on the East Ancillary and one in the End Zone.

    Defragging will accumulation the ancestors calm - if the mother-in-law is there, that may not be such a acceptable idea. I m circuitous again. You re apparently apprehensive if there is a berth to my alternation of thought. Oh well, if this helps one being - it was account it.
