Computers

Your computer is your friend, and will always have your back (or hard drive). :)
Sure you and your computer will have those rough times where the computer gets picky and moody. (The computers time of the month) But that should not happen often. Your computer has been built to last you long and depending on how good you take care of it you may have some great times and even share it with your grand kids rofl. :D
I have written this tutorial because I use my computer and laptop for very important things like school, friends, and ofcourse this handy dandy site. Here are some easy steps to having a good, clean, and healthy computer with less of those mood swings.

1.Space
If you plan to make your own website like this, downloading and saving music, or if you are the type of person who makes alot of graphics, dolls and etc you should consider buying a seperate hard drive. I used to save alot of junk, music, and dolls when I first started TDP on my computer until my dad bought us a small hard drive which stores ALOT of things. We have had it since 2004 and it still has alot more space almost unlimited. What happens is if you save too much junk on your computer it will DEFINTELY crash. A computer is like any machine if it has too much stuff in it it will go a-wall and blow. A hard drive is the best investment for you and your computer. The less things on your computer the faster it runs.

2.Downloading
When downloading things on your computer you must be careful and read what you are downloading. Some downloads contain little viruses that can get your computer sick. ):
Don't download too many things on your computer, if you need alot of things on your computer like job wise you should think of investing in another computer for entertainment purposes. And when you are saving your download you should save it in a hard drive instead of the program files. And don't download anythng from pop ups.
You should always check your ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS located in the CONTROL PANEL for any programs that you do not recognize because sometimes depending on which sites you go on it automatically downloads things onto your computer without you knowing. Be Careful!

3.Cleaning Softwares
Spybot Search and destroy is the way to go. You can download this software Here.
If you don't like it you should try others like mcafee, but I like spybot because it's quicker and makes the computer much faster after a check up.
I check up my computer once a day before I shut it down, so that it is running perfectly the next day. I guarentee you won't regret downloading this software. :)
Always have anti spyware and anti virus programs on your computer for saftey.

4.Pop-Ups
I don't know what to say about pop-ups. Don't use internet explorer tht much and try to get browsers that have pop up blockers like aol or firefox. Research pop ups blockers and see which one is best for you. You can even buy them with warentees. o:
Stay away from sites that provoke pop ups, like dollsites. Don't worry I'm not like most doll sites I don't get paid for advertisement companies to put pop ups on my site. :)

5.Freezing
On any computer you will freeze, new computer or old, just don't aggitate the computer or you are going to make it worse. Step away from the computer for a while and do not click on anything. The problem should be solved after the computer cools down, and errmm you too. If Not CTRL ALT DELETE and open your task manager and shut the program down. Depending on how slow your computer is it will take some time.

Thats all I have to tell you about how to keep your computer healthy so that it lasts a long time. Hope it came in useful to most. :)
