Computer Maintenance Tips

It is a relatively easy task to keep your systems running at their best.

  • Defrag the hard disk regularly – Very Important  Defragmenting the hard disk will reorganise all the files on your drive so it is easier for them to be found  and thus be executed quicker
  • Keep the Operating System Service packs and Security updates up to date.
  • Have up to date virus protection installed on all the  computers and keep the virus definitions up to date
  • Turn off the indexing service

Many speed problems can be attributed to insufficient RAM. Many XP system’s only have 512 MG RAM and it is really not enough. RAM is relatively inexpensive and easy to install. You should have a minimum of 1 GB RAM and better still 2 GB RAM in workstations

If you follow the following suggestions, many of your computer problems will be minimised.

If you have queries or suggestions, please feel free to contact me

The Need for a Confidentiality Agreement

A confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement is crucial when you have third parties working on your computer systems.

It is especially important for Medical Practices who collect confidential and private information.

The confidentiality agreement must give a definition of what is Confidential Information and the what is expected of the computer consultant

Find attached a copy of  an agreement that we use. Please do not take this agreement as legal advice, we strongly suggest that you have your solicitor check that wording and range of your agreement.

This agreement or one supplied by the client is completed before we do any support on the computer systems
