With proper care, you can avoid common problems. The following sections provide information that can help you to keep your computer running smoothly. General Tips for Preventing Problems 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. Note: Click Start -> Computer. Then right-click the desired drive, and a menu for the drive is displayed. To check the capacity of the drive, click Properties. 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. To start the Disk Defragmenter, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter. 4. To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs. Note: You might also want to look for application program duplication or overlapping versions. 5. Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client program. 6. 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. Chapter 3. Getting Started 27
