Slow system

Possible problems and solutions:

  • more programs running than necessary
    • find and remove unnecessary programs
    • remove unecessary startup programs
  • virus
    • run a full virus scan
  • spyware
    • run a full spyware scan
  • disk fragmentation (incremental changes to your disk make it become more disorganized and it takes even longer to find information on disk)
    • run defrag or other defragmentation programs
  • disk errors (an occasional griding or clicking sound)
    • perform scan disk
  • registry problems
    • run a registry analysis tool
  • insufficient RAM (hard drive light stays on)
    • buy more memory.
    • The disk is about a million times slower than main memory (RAM) when running well.

A tune up will perform all of these tests. Get more from your computer!

 

 

Administrative lockout

Cannot remember the password to your Windows machine?

The registry holds all login information in an encrypted format.

If you forget your login information, it will have to be reset. We will charge our two hour minimum, but we will also perform a tuneup.

 

Drivers

Drivers are the software that connect the software to the hardware. They are important to correct functioning and performance of the hardware.

Drivers can

  • interact with other drivers, leaving your system your system or a portion of your system unusable.
  • become corrupt due to disk problems or viruses.
  • improper installation.

Driver repairs are usually fairly simple and are subject to our two hour minimum charge. However, we will also perform a system tune up.
