Maintaining Your Windows XP/Vista Computer

By Terry Rooney

Your computer needs periodic maintenance, much like your car. Unfortunately many computer users do not do this work, and the computer performance suffers, sometimes tremendously.

There are multiple tools built into Windows XP/Vista you can use regularly, or which you can schedule to run regularly.

This talk will focus on some common tasks, such as deleting temporary files, checking the integrity of the computer’s file system, and defragmenting your hard drive.

In the last few years software manufacturers such as Symantec (Norton), MacAfee, Trend Micro and others have begun offering programs to make maintenance much easier.

Hardware manufacturers such as H-P and Dell are also making “holistic” programs available, sometimes at no cost.

Ask The Tech

The purpose of our Ask the Tech meeting is to make it as easy as possible for you members to getyour PC questions answered. You should think of the meeting as an hour of FREE technical support, where you can ask any questions you want without fear of not understanding the response. Questions can range from how to configure your Outlook Express account (a very common problem) to how to change your web browser home page and default search provider, or how to burn an CD or DVD. It doesn't matter whether you are a "newbie" to Windows or have years of experience.

At the current time two club members, President Terry Rooney and Vice President of Programs and Education Len Carniato, alternate months answering your questions. Both gentlemen have more than 20 years experience in using Windows PC's, including Windows 95, 98, XP and now Vista. So they can usually provide an answer to your problems.

The meeting is also useful even if you don't have immediate questions yourself. Someone else's question may trigger a thought and question from you. No one will go home from the meeting without having learned at least one new thing--guaranteed!
