How do I keep my laptop in good condition?

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I was recently given a brand new dell laptop, because I am moving out and going to a University, so I needed my own computer. The computer I have at home is slow and filled with spyware, mostly due to my little sister and all the crap she downloads. I want to take really good care of my new laptop, so does anyone have any advice? What should I avoid (such as, kinds of sites)? What programs (free or inexpensive) should I use to protect the laptop? How can I maintain its speed? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Will a computer slow down if you leave it on all the time?

Friday, January 16th, 2009

My parents never turn their 4 year old computer off and it's really really slow. Is that why the computer takes so long to load each page (sometimes it takes up to half an hour to load a web page)? The internet connection is fine as I use it as wireless on my laptop. They've just bought a new computer and haven't been turning it off. Will the same thing happen to this computer?

How can I connect my Desktop computer to my laptop computer?

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I want to connect my old desktop computer to my laptop, so that I can access all of the file on both of the computers. Can I do this by taking the cord that connects my monitor to my desktop computer?
I've heard that I could take my ethernet cord and plug it into my laptop and my desktop, will that work?
I want to try to avoid wireless networking, but if that's my only option I'd like to hear about that one too.
Thanks.
