BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER

Backing up your computer regularly is another good tip.  You can back it up to a zip drive if you have one, which most of you probably don't for personal use.  They can be a bit pricy but a good investment.  If you have questions about backing up to a zip drive, feel free to call me or email me.  Also, Windows users have something called "System Restore", or, at least I know Windows XP users have it.  I'm not sure about earlier versions.  Make sure System Restore is enabled by going to your Control Panel again and clicking on the "System Restore" tab.  You will be able to see there if the System Restore is on or off.  Your computer should automatically be creating system restore points throughout the week.  If you need to go back to one of these points, which restores your computer settings and programs to a previous time period, please email me if you don't know how to do this and I will guide you through, or find someone else who knows how.
