Quick Start & Troubleshooting Guide

Free some Space on your Hard Disk Drive

1. Empty the Recycle Bin: When you delete a file from your computer, Windows

places it in the Recycle Bin. All the deleted files remain there until you decide

to permanently delete them from your computer or to restore them to their

original location. Double-click on the

Recycle Bin

on the Windows desktop and

click on Empty Recycle Bin or select only the items you want to delete. Items

deleted from external devices, such as memory cards, do not go to the Recycle

Bin, they are permanently deleted.

2. Uninstall the programs you no longer use:

• To remove software titles that were originally provided with your computer,

click on ‘Start’

> All Programs > Packard Bell - Security & Support > Smart Restore.

• To remove additional software titles, click on ‘Start’

> Control Panel > Programs and Features.

3. Archive files on an external hard disk drive, recordable CDs or DVDs (if your computer is equipped with a

CD or DVD writer) and delete them from the hard disk.

Run Windows Vista System Tools

Windows Vista includes some convenient tools to keep your computer in good shape. Use these tools on a

regular basis to maintain a reliable and speedy system! To make it easier,

System Tools

includes a

Scheduled

Tasks

utility, which you can customise to run specific tasks regularly.

The image below illustrates one way of accessing the

System Tools

‘Start’

All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.

Windows System Restore.

System Restore

monitors the changes to your computer and automatically creates restore points to revert to a

previous time if necessary. It can undo harmful changes to your computer and restore its settings and

performance, while saving your personal data files (such as documents, browsing history, drawings,

favourites, or e-mails).

Note: When you restore your computer you will need to reinstall any programs you installed after the

restore point was created. These programs will not work until you do this. Windows System Restore

does not uninstall programs. To do this, you should use Programs and Features in the Control Panel.

Starting Windows System Restore from the Windows desktop

Click on ‘Start’

> All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
