By using these 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 on the hard disks
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 computer maintenance tips, many of your computer problems will be minimised.
