Slow PC Performance

Think carefully before being pursaded to part with money on some web site that promises to ‘speed up your pc’ in exchange for a $15/£20 payment. Typically, these type of services (a) don’t work (b) can actually slow down your PC and (3) can be a nightmare to uninstall when you want to get rid of them. If your PC is running a bit slowly, the most likely answer to your problem (assuming it hasn’t ground to a halt) is that you need more RAM.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete

This is a useful facility. When your computer gets in a tizzy, sometimes you need to take action. Holding down the three buttons – Ctrl, Alt and Delete – will launch a small box which shows the current active programs. To stop a program, and possibly regain control of your PC, simply select a programme and press the End Task button which will close the program down. Sometimes, you have to repeat the process. (Leave Explorer, Systray and Rnaapp alone).
