Before you do anything else &#8211; Reboot!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&#8217;re using Windows 98 or Windows Seven one thing remains constant: If you&#8217;re having problems with your Windows computer, no matter what they are, the first thing you should try is rebooting. Whether you&#8217;re having problems with installing a program, running a program, opening a folder, opening a file, or your computer is running like Granny Gertrude in a senior potato sack race, rebooting is the first thing you should try.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because, you might spend hours trying to figure out what is wrong and never find a thing. Before you waste time looking through tips, tricks or Googling for the answer, you might find that rebooting will fix whatever ails your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Rebooting flushes your memory cache, reloads all Windows system files and gives your computer a fresh start. Everything&#8217;s reloaded, memory is cleared, and that, my friends, can make a world of difference.<\/p>\n<p>So before you waste hours of time trying to figure out a problem, save your time and the frustration of trying to find a solution to a problem that may be solved by something as simple as restarting your computer. We&#8217;ve learned this lesson the hard way, many times. We&#8217;ve wasted time looking for solutions to problems that seemed to disappear after we rebooted. And, often, in the frustration of the moment, when you&#8217;re computer seems destined for oblivion, simply restarting it might take care of whatever was wrong. Of course, if it the problem keeps recurring, even after you restart your computer, you&#8217;re going to have to dig down and find the source of the problem and fix it. But save all that work for later. The first step in troubleshooting is rebooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&#8217;re using Windows 98 or Windows Seven one thing remains constant: If you&#8217;re having problems with your Windows computer, no matter what they are, the first thing you should try is rebooting.
