Why does my computer run so slow? There are 5 main factors that makes a computer run slow. They are that the disk is fragmented, computer is low on memory, it has viruses, spyware/adware, or has registry errors. We have an extensive process to improve the performance of any windows based computer. Contact us and we can fix this issue.
Why is my network running so slow? A variety of hardware problems can cause this issue, from a failing switch or router to an intermittently bad network card in a computer. Sometimes a simple reorganization can solve major issues. Also, one slow computer can seriously impact all users of a share database.
What maintenance can I perform to reduce downtime, and improve performance? ALWAYS do your Microsoft updates, as soon as they are available. Additionally, a defragment program should be run on a regular basis on every computer. While Microsoft’s defragment program is good, we offer a product called Diskkeeper, which does a continual defragmentation in the background and can drastically improve performance.
How do I know what data to back up? Generally data is self-evident, such as documents, financial databases, or scheduling program data, or contact information. Sometimes it’s not as easy to determine what you REALLY can’t live without. Take a quiet moment, and do a review of your average day – what do you use most? Sometimes it’s the really simple things, like an Outlook file, that gets left out and makes life miserable when lost.
A recent study showed that of companies that did not have their data backed up, 98% went out of business within 2 years after losing their data. Pretty strong incentive to get it done. We can help you determine what to backup, and provide secure, reliable, affordable backup options tailor made to your needs.
