PAUL DICKSON S COMPUTER TIPS Speed Up a Slow Computer (Continued from last issue) Following on from the previous steps to speed up your computer, there are a number of things you can do from a command prompt. To open a command prompt, hold down the Windows key and press the R key to open the Run dialog box, and type cmd and press the Enter key. Hard drives do get issues over time which can impact performance, so it s a good idea to regularly check your hard drive for errors. This can be done by opening a command prompt and typing chkdsk /r (without the quotes + the Enter key). You can also change what programs automatically start when you log on. From a command prompt type msconfig or taskmgr for newer Windows versions

Our first ever OT students Ashlyn and Felicity recently completed their first placement with us.
