Maintenance Issues

Keep your laptop out of extreme hot and cold temperatures, which could affect the performance of the PC.
Also, the full meaning of computer is Hardware + Software. What you see and touch (Hardware) would be a dead machine without the software. We advice Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 to increase the computer performance.

On this page we will provide some tips that can improve the performance of your computer and give you ideas you can use with your system.

Computer Operations

Try not to open too many programs while working on your computer. The more things that are open, the slower your system will run.
Also avoid to save all your information in your computer. We advise our customers to build a library of DVD/CD/Floppy Disks/External HDD with all the information that you need. Save your work/information only as temporary data in your computer. After few days save it on DVD/CD/Disk/External HDD.
If you would like to use your computer for downloading songs and you are using a dial up internet service, please do not buy computers with CPU less than 1.00 GHz. Computers are going to be very slow and it is going to take forever to download a song. Especially when you try to surf the net or doing more than one thing on the internet.
Almost everyone of us like to edit photos from digital cameras too. In this case the Hard Drive of your computer is really very important. If you would use the primary HDD as a storage for your big JPEG files or your songs, after a short period of time, your computer is going to be terribly slow. We advice our friends and customers to add a slave Hard Drive or use an external Hard Drive. In this way you maintain a fast computer and do not risk to lose any files from your main HDD.
After you install a new software, always restart your computer to activate your new software.
Always have an activated Antivirus and spyware protection software in your machine. Viruses are program software that collapse, damage or destroy different software or files in your computer. Never ever go on the internet without antivirus and spyware protection.

Printers

When you purchase a new printer, remember to add it to the list of printers for your computer. This will allow you to print on your new printer. Once we advise our customers not to purchase an extended warranty for the computers, we strongly recommend to purchase the extended warranty for the printers and copy machines.
