Tech Tips

I occasionally do a bit of tech support work. It's well paid, and relatively stress free and straightforward. Usually.

A couple of weeks back a client asked me to have a look at his Dell Vista box. It was running slowly - the usual things; Spyware, cluttered registry, a load of old temp and swap files - so I set to cleaning it up. It soon became apparent that the OS was well behind the times in terms of updates, so I started going through those, too.
