Hi everybody, another couple of tips that will help your computer to keep
running as it should.
Firstly don't let cookies build up. If left to bild up they will have an
effect on your computer's performance. Some of them can also be harmful.
Secondly do a defrag once a day. The less fragmented you let windows get
the better. It's an obvious thing, but it's amazing how many times I've
heard of people never defragmenting and wondering why they have errors, and
why their computer runs increasingly slower.
Lastly for now SFC. If you get error messages it's a good idea to run SFC,
just in case system files have been altered badly or corrupted.
To do this, put your windows cd in the drive. Shut down the welcome screen
when it appears. Go to start and then run, and type:
sfc /scannow
You'll hear the cd power up. Windows will scan all its system files and
replace where necessary. Jaws still works during it, so don't be worried
about lack of speech feedback.
John.
