Maintenance
It is very
important to keep our computers well maintained.
To assist in keeping it run smoothly in the bingo world we
should do a disk cleanup daily:
1. Go to start
2. Go to Programs
3. Go to Accessories
4. Go to System Tools
5. Go to Disk Cleanup
This can take a few minutes the first time you do it if you
have not done it frequently in the past!
Clean Out the Inside of Your PC
Over time,
dust and dirt will eventually build up inside your
computer's case. This excess dust can negativley effect the
computer's performance. Dust and grime can build up on fans,
causing your inner PC parts to run hotter and less
efficiently. Even if you think your PC is in a very clean
environment, opening the box at least once a year and
removing the dust can improve system performance. A can of
compressed air will do the trick and can be bought at any
store that sells electronics, including a Wal-Mart, Target
or Best Buy. Just turn off your PC, open the case and spray
out those dust bunnies. Be sure not to touch any of the
electronic parts!
Deleting
Temporary Files
Every
time you access web sites on the Internet, temporary files
are copied to your PC. These files contain information
intended to make these web sites open faster on your next
visit. They may also contain preferences you've entered on
the site while visiting it.
All well and good so far. Over time, however, you can build
up thousands of these files. Many of them may not be doing
you much good, especially if they are from sites you've
visited once never intending to go back.
Every once in a while, you should go in and clean these
files out.
Here's how you do it:
1) In Internet Explorer click Tools, then click 'Internet
Options'.
2) Select the 'General' tab and find the 'Temporary Files'
section half way down the page.
3) Click the 'Delete Files' button and in the window that
opens, check the box for 'Delete all offline content'.
4) Click OK and all the files are erased.
Print Screen
Have you ever
noticed that obscure button on your keyboard labeled Print
Screen/SysRq? Did you ever wonder what it does?
In the old days before Windows, that button would output
screen contents to a printer. Today, it no longer performs
that function. Now, pressing Alt-PrtScr stores an image of
the screen to memory; it can then be pasted into a Word
document or into a graphics program such as Windows' Paint
utility by pressing Control-V. It's handy to use when you
want to capture a screen error message, for instance, that
you can save and send to someone for assistance.
