Computer Software Upgrades and Installation
Most software today either comes with its own installation CD or is downloaded from the Internet.
You just load up the CD or just double click the download file and it all loads exactly as it should - yes ? Well not always.
Due to the many software companies out there, the different operating systems, the different hardware specifications, software upgrades or installations don't always load as they should.
We've seen newly loaded software cause a perfectly working computer to just stop dead in its tracks.

We suggest you always follow these steps before loading or upgrading your software :
1. Backup your computer
We can't stress enough how important this is. Small Businesses are known to fail within 18 months of a computer crash where no backup has been available to retrieve valuable data. Or what about little Johnny's homework which has now become corrupted and you have to now deal with a very upset child - no fun for any parent




2. If you are using Windows XP, create a Restore Point
This very easy step can save you a lot of time reinstalling from the backup or repairing your computer and save you a small fortune on Computer Support calls, as well as lost revenue

3. Now you are ready to load your software (fingers and toes crossed)
This may seem like being over cautious but it will save you time in the long run, you can be sure.
If you need help or advice on Software packages available or just a 'hand hold' when upgrading just give us a call.



Computer Hardware Upgrades and Installation
There comes a time in a computers life when it just doesn't perform as fast as it used to. Its got old and needs a boost.
You really only have two options :
1. Buy a new computer
2. Upgrade your computer
Before you go splashing out on a new computer, you should consider the upgrade route.
A simple 5 minute upgrade of the RAM can have a sluggish computer, flying again.
Replacing the motherboard and chip with new ones can give the ultimate boost for under £100 on parts (labour extra)

Computer Network Upgrades and Installation
Whether your a home user or a small business, if you have 2 or more computers - then a network is a must have.
The benefits of linking computers - gives you shared files, shared printers and a shared internet connection.
Don't go thinking that you always need a server either, this really only comes into play when you have 8 or more computers or you find your current network too slow.
In simple terms, one computer can be designated as the 'server' with the others linked to it.
The 'server' can store all the shared files, have its internet connection shared along with its printer.
Now all other computers can access the shared files, connect to the internet and print (without the need for multiple printers)
All thats required is a hub, some network cards and some cat5 cables.
Wireless networks can be even easier to set-up, just make sure you have encryption in place.
