Your car's dashboard computer lets you know when an oil change is needed and when your
next service is due. The new TuneUp Utilities Start Center fulfills this role for your
computer. It indicates problems it finds, what has changed since the last startup, and
whether your computer settings are optimal. The Start page is divided into several areas.
In the upper area is a note about what you should do next. The lower area is divided into
three columns, one each for system maintenance, performance, and system status. It gives
you a quick overview of areas that need attention or where there is potential for
optimization. Click on Details

what to do next or a statement that your system is fine. You might be told, for example,

for background information on the issues and in most cases
a quick way to deal with them.
