General Tips for Maintenance

1

Check the capacity of your hard disk drive from time to time. If the
hard disk drive gets too full, Windows

®

will slow down and might

produce errors.

2

Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis.

3

Use Diskeeper Lite or the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter on your hard

disk drive on a regular basis to improve data seek and read time.

ƒ

To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs.

Note:

You might also want to look for application program duplication or

overlapping versions.

ƒ

Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client

program.

ƒ

At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is

present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup. Lenovo has many

backup options available for your computer. CD-RW drives and CD-

RW/DVD drives are available for most computers and are easily

installed.

ƒ

Use or schedule System Restore to take a system snapshot periodically.

Note:

Always take a system snapshot before installing new drivers, updating

software, or installing new software.
