It actually depends on your PC’s damage and sevice requirements.
I’ve had my computer for almost one year now. So, I was thinking of doing some maintenance. I want to try to do it myself if possible. But I don’t know how…＿|￣|O
Could you help me?
Links would be nice.
What about hardware maintenance? You know, dust bunnies, food scraps, etc. What should i use (any special cleaning liquid, etc.) or do?
Start by doing a disk defrag to make your PC find and use files more efficiently. Click on "My Computer" on your desktop, and right click on your "c" drive. Now choose properties. Under the tools tab, you’ll see disk defragment. After this follow the same directions above, but choose "Disk Cleanup" to remove unneeded files from your hard drive.
I’d also recommend doing a search on download.com for a program called Ccleaner. This is an excellent (and safe) program for cleaning up temporary files on your computer. It will even search your computer for issues, and fix them.
Get into the habit of doing each of these once a week, and your pc will stay optimal.
i would like to know the difference between general computer maintenance, and ‘preventative’ computer maintenance. i know that you would do it to obviously prevent problems, but what do you need to actually do??? thanks! 
prevent get a good antivirus and pop upblocker….you have to have those two things…
Can you VNC or use remote desktop to remote into my friends computer so I can do some things for him? If so, how can I do it or can you point me to a website that can show me step by step? Also, this would be working from Vista Ultimate to an XP Pro PC. Thank you for your help in advance!
The best site for you would be:
www.logmein.com
It lets you remotly control a computer. there is a free version and a pro version which has a 30 day trial. you have to install it…
Computer science/accounting, or Business administration/computer repair, or Marketing/electronic repair.
I’m looking to get into personal computer repair along side my new job, which is a computer support specialist at a private school. I have 3 years of pc repair experience prior to this job. I was wondering if anyone had any tips to help me get started and if they even think it’s a good idea?
Give it a shot. This is actually a pretty good idea.
Me and a friend are considering starting our own computer repair business, however we’d like to carry out some market research before deciding to invest any money. The only strategy we have thought of so far is to stand in a crowded shopping mall and ask people to complete a survey but we doubt this will be effective.
I would appreciate any suggestions on other types of market research or confirmation that surveying is a good method and also how many people we should survey to make our data credible.
You are right, your approach would not be effective. You can hire a market research firm to do the research and they should provide you with good results. There are many things to consider: the competition, the type of service you offer, the price you plan to charge, the population in the area you can serve, etc.
You would have to decide whether you expect customers to bring their equipment to you or do you go to them to make repairs. Is there a market for computer repairs? Computers become obsolete so fast, and prices have declines so far, that many people simply buy a new computer when their old one breaks down. There is a difference between computer repair and computer servicing. You may do better servicing working computers. This involves setting them up, networking them, installing software, installing additional hardware, etc. Repairing broken computers may not be a good business. A market research firm should be able to find out.
I hear they have a good reputation.
i want to create a name for a new company. According to astrology. it is based on computer Maintenance. my birth day is 1984-04-12
Well, I’m not sure. Were you born on April 12 or December 4? If it’s April 12 then you are an Aries symbolized by the Ram so you can use either of those. If it’s Dec. 4 then you are a Sagittarius and are symbolized by a half man and half horse. Good luck.
