Would you like an easy way to fix your Windows XP or Vista PC? Is your computer running slower than usual? Are you getting errors when you try to use a specific program? Are you having other problems with Windows that just won’t go away no matter how patient you are and how nice you are to it? You can fix XP or Vista.
Sometimes Microsoft Windows is an erratic, temperamental and unpredictable child; and as a child, sometimes a “time out” is in order.
Shutdown Your Computer
When was the last time you turned off your computer? I am not talking about putting it in “Hibernate” or “Standby.” I mean using the Shutdown feature, turning your computer off for one or two minutes and then rebooting it.
The Windows operating system has a wonderful feature that safely shuts off a computer and fixes many issues when it reboots. This process also unloads all the programs and processes that eat up operating memory and work quietly in the background making your computer work.
How to Shut it off Properly
So, the next time your Windows is being uncooperative, just say “No.” Shut it off by following these steps:
- Go into the Start Menu.
- Click “Turn off Computer”.
- Click on the “Turn Off” Icon.
Enjoy a moment of Zen silence free from the usual fan noise, beeps and bleeps. Then turn it back on. It may make all the difference.
