 General tips for maintenance

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.

Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis.

Use the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter on your hard disk drive on a

regular basis to improve data seek and read time.

 To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs.

Note:

You might also want to look for application program duplication or

overlapping versions.

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

program.

 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 or CD-RW/

DVD drives are available for most computers and are easily installed.

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