Tips and Bits from Luna Computers

Your computer has joined the Slowsky’s Family and what to do about Part 2


1)  Keep the fans clean. Once or twice a year get a can of compressed air and blow out all the dust bunnies from the inside of your computer. Most cases have side that pops open, check the manual on how to remove the side. Do this more often if you have pooches or cats in the house.
A clean computer runs cooler and lasts longer. If you can plug in the power with the side of the computer case off, turn on the computer and watch to make sure all the fans in the case are running.

2) Stop with all the toolbars! It seems that every program now a days wants to load a toolbar for your browser. Pick one, use it and anytime another wants to load just say no. If it is stubborn and still load itself, try to remove it using the control panel.

3) Learn to use the Control Panel to uninstall unwanted programs. HP, Compaq, Dell, eMachines and all the rest oad a lot of extra buggy software, call them up and ask which ones you don't need and can un-install.

4) Be careful installing all those programs that promise free screen savers, free backgrounds, etc.. Most of them also load unwanted programs in the background.

4) Re-install Windows. Easier said than done, but what a difference it makes.
