Tune Up Your PC In a Weekend, 2nd Edition

INTRODUCTION

Almost everybody who has a computer wishes it would run better. Perhaps
your beef is a game that won’t run, a full hard disk, a printer that no
longer prints, or some other difficulty. Or maybe your computer just runs
sluggishly in general, and you wonder whether there’s anything you can
do to speed it up.

Tune Up Your PC In a Weekend, 2nd Edition can save you hundreds of
dollars in PC consultant fees. It’s a step-by-step walkthrough of the
process that I use when professionally tuning up a client’s computer.
You can follow this easy weekend-long formula yourself and, less than
72 hours from now, end up with a trouble-free PC, optimized for peak
performance.

Why a weekend? Because that’s when most people have some free time.
This book is structured so the average reader can work through the entire
process before it’s time to dress for work on Monday morning, but you
are free to take as much time as you want to actually complete it. In some
cases, in fact, you won’t be able to complete the entire process in a weekend.
If you decide to order some new parts from a mail order supplier, for
example, you might need to wait a week for them to be delivered.
