I can help you troubleshoot any problem with your computer or network.
I repair desktops and notebooks whether home built or name brand.

I can test and replace failed components - Most common: power supply, hard drive, motherboard.
Most people learn to live with their computer problems. Don't live that way. Let me help.
Spyware & Virus Removal
I have the tools to remove spyware or viruses and the knowledge to keep you safe in the future.
Spyware is the most common reason that your computer will act strange or start operating slowly.
You may be receiving annoying pop-ups or maybe your hard drive is constantly working.
These are a couple of signs that your computer could be infected with spyware. Let me help.
Operating System Reinstall
Computers slow down because of the abundant software, plugins, and adware installed on them over time.
Viruses can cause damage to system files requiring a reinstall.
I will back up all of your photos, documents, music, etc., erase your hard drive, and reinstall the operating system.
Do not run "System Restore" on your own, it can delete your personal files and many times it will even fail and make things worse.
I have well proven methods to reinstall with all the latest updates/service packs while saving your personal files.
Many people say their computer runs faster than when it was new. I service Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Windows 7 Upgrade Advice
Call me for Windows 7 upgrade advice. I can help you before and after the decision to upgrade.
I have already tested Windows 7 and like it.
Windows 7 outperforms Windows Vista and will be a desired upgrade for many.
Most current computers are only 32-bit. 64-bit Windows option will be more common on new computers with Windows 7.
If you purchase a new computer and want good performance,
look for one with Windows 7, 64-Bit, a dual or quad core processor, and 4Gigs of RAM or more.
If upgrading your current Vista or WinXP computer, it may need other upgrades first,
or maybe it is just too old. Call me for advice.
Migrating Files to a New Computer
Have you just purchased a new computer and need your files transfered off of your old one?
I can transfer your documents, photos, music, and e-mail from your old computer to your new computer.
Even if your old computer does not run, I can sometimes recover the files.
Do not throw away your old computer, bring it to me and I will recover your files and recycle it for you.
This service also includes a new computer Set-Up Tune-Up.
I will remove the trial software, perform windows updates, and install a Free Anti-Virus.
Upgrades
Upgrades are a great way to extend the life of your machine for another few years without investing in a new computer.
In most cases installing more memory, a faster CPU, a new hard drive, and/or a new video card can significantly
speed up your system.
Networks
I can set up wired or wireless networks so they are secure and easy to use.
Sharing internet, printers, and files will be easier than ever.
Backup Scheduling
I can install a backup system to guard against data loss in the event of a primary hard drive failure.
Everyone needs to backup files, but most don't do it.
I can make sure the right stuff is getting backed up to the right place, and that you know how to restore it if needed.
Software & Hardware Setup
If you need an upgrade for your software, a new program installed, or have any hardware you need set up,
I can take care of it.
Computer Tutoring
I can meet with you for one to two hour clinics for just about anything you'd like to learn about
- basic computer operation, maintaining your computer, working with digital cameras, scanners and video,
or working with e-mail and internet.
You will learn how to protect your privacy and keep your information safe while using the Internet.
Laptop Repair
Has your screen gone out? Has your laptop been dropped and will no longer start up? Does the battery no longer charge?
I can test and repair or replace failed components - Most common: Hard drive, keyboard, LCD screen, LCD inverter board, failed wireless, motherboard.
