If you are like most of us, you have a few old programs floating around that will possibly only run on XP. If you still have an XP system you will not have any issues at all. The
problem is that many XP systems have very old hardware and are extremely slow, especially if they were manufactured before 2007.
As with all technology, the Internet is changing at an extremely rapid rate. Things that used to work great with your existing computer might not work as well today as they did a couple of years ago. You might even find that your Internet seems slower. Any of these issues can cause your movies and online programs to run choppy and sometimes often buffer. There are some things you can do to get better performance and there are other things that are out of your control.
Today I am going to talk about one of the most unreliable ways to maintain your computer. The option is present in almost every version of Windows that has been released and is relied upon way too much by most Windows users. I am talking about a little program within Windows called System Restore.
When you are a computer technician, you see Malware of all types and intensities. Some render computers almost useless unless you are in safe mode. In many instances, the computer simply will not boot or you cannot access your file system. In a few cases, Trojans such as CryptoLocker will encrypt your most used files allowing no access to them at all. All these infections have one think in common; they did not do any damage to your physical computer.
Internet Explorer is one of the most mocked applications on the planet. It is hated by many and cursed by others, especially when it does not work. It seems that Microsoft keeps rolling out new versions of the browser even before things in the last version are fixed. The truth is that without IE, we would not be able to use most of the third party browsers like AOL, Firefox and Chrome. They all rely to some extent on Internet Explorer.
Finding a reputable online computer repair company can be a confusing and stressful task, because you have to trust the company based on their website and their content. In addition to how confident and truthful they sound on the phone when you first call in, if they do not want to give you an upfront price for their service, run far away from that company. This rule also applies if they try to sell you overly expensive things that you know you don’t need for your computer. Those types of companies are out for a paycheck and not to make the customer happy.
Today, there are literally hundreds of online computer repair companies located on the Internet. With all these choices, you want to be sure you are using not only the best company but also you want to get the most for your money. Computer Geeks is one of the first companies to offer remote support on the web. Since 2006, they have satisfied thousands of clients with the very best service possible. Not only has Computer geeks helped consumers, they have also helped large companies as McDonalds, Allstate and Sunoco.
Ok first off let me tell you that I am a part of a smaller company so I may bit biased during this article and may tend to lean more towards the smaller online computer repair shops as opposed to those bigger chains and smaller local computer repair shops.
Do you remember your first computer? I bet most of you do not still have your original computer in your home. The truth is, I love nostalgia and the way things were in olden days so I am one of the few that saved my old Windows 98 computer and it still works perfect.
If you ever came to me and asked me the question if it is worth putting all your hard earned money into a storefront to fix the hardware on computers, my answer would be definitely not!
I will get right to the point and tell you why you should not do it!
1. Computers are now considered a throw away item just like most small appliances! Its not the old days any more wake up people!
