Maintaining Hard Disk Performance
If your computer is running slow run the disk defragment that is standard software with XP.
Goto: Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Defragmenter. Since hard drives are very large
these days It might take some time for it to do a complete defrag of your Hard disk. It is also a good idea to
scheule this once a week when you are not using your computer ie: in the wee hours.

Computer Operations
One more thing that will increase the performance is adding more memory, most all computers
will support 1-2 gigabytes of memory. You can check this by going to and find the model of your computer and
it will give a list of your memory. If you are unsure about the type of memory, goto www.memory.com
Check with company that built your computer . It is VERY important that you install the correct
memory, installing the wrong memory can slow your system down to a crawl. The more things that are open, the slower
your system will run.

Maintenance Tips
Take off the case and vacuum out the dust, not doing this the dust can build up and cause a
short in the main board which could result in a very spendy repair. If you are not comfortable doing
this most any PC repair shop can do it for a small fee.
