Joan wants to know about PC Tools and why we didn't get back to her right away
I know how very busy you are, but I would really appreciate your input. I'm not sure why you didn't get back to me.

I am wondering if you have downloaded the PC Tools 2011 Update. What I forgot to tell you is that absolutely immediately after the download completed they opened a window that was unbelievable. It listed categories and a number amount in each category but without exaggeration it was literally flying. The speed was like in OE when you have a lot of items in Deleted Files and you say 'yes' to delete - it is passed by in an instant. I was so taken back by this I did find presence of mind to click on a button that read either 'stop,' or 'cancel.' I have never seen anything like this ever before when downloading anything. This is when I contacted them.

I looked at your Registry Commander and in appearance it seemed friendlier than PC Tools. It seemed like it was written for the lay person. The title could not be mistaken and the reason was completely understandable. I would appreciate your opinion on the following. I would like to cancel with PC Tools - it is up on 5/4/2011 and purchase Registry Commander. Also, do you suggest Captain Optimizer as well? And, do you also suggest Reimage?

I want to say thank you re: SuperAntiSpyware. I did purchase this and it is doing a great job.

Any time you can spare to guide me in sincerely appreciated. It means a lot when you know you are talking to people you can trust.

Sincerely, Joan

Linda wonders why the cloud isn't on her new Windows 7 computer
I have been a reader of your newsletter for several years now. I like to think I am computer savvy. However...I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My question is this: I have been reading and hearing a lot about the cloud. It is not on my new PC. Do I have to download it and should I get it? How do I know if my PC will run it alright? I have used XP for so long, all the Windows 7 is foreign to me. Thanks for all you do.

Cut minutes off your Windows boot-up time - Really!
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7

You've done everything you can, you've cleaned and optimized your registry, you've tweaked, fixed, and fussed with all your Windows settings, you've cleaned and optimized your PC, you've removed every program from your startups, and still your Windows computer takes forever to boot up. Windows is notorious for slow boot up times. And most people are not advanced computer users and don't feel comfortable removing some items that start with Windows - and they don't have enough information to know which programs really need to start with Windows and which do not. And the more programs which start up with Windows, the slower your boot time will be. It's elementary, dear Watson.

I've got a one-year old Windows 7 laptop. It's relatively strong - 6GB RAM, fast quad-core processor, 500GB hard drive, and so on. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that I could brew a pot of coffee, pour a cup, and drink a few sips of it in the time it took my lappy to boot up. Really - I'm not kidding. And I've tweaked and tuned and cleaned and removed all the startups I could safely remove. Still, the coffee maker was faster than my relatively young laptop.

You'll love this tip - it really will help you cut your Windows Boot up time by several minutes.

A comment from John
Hi TC and EB. Excuse me for butting in to your busy day. I have to tell you , to use an Aussie term, you are better than 'sliced bread'. (a compliment) You continuously offer good products, information and advice to us 'computerites' who otherwise would be fumbling in the dark and losing sleep over Internet security, programme malfunction, crashes and other issues which would take 'forever' to otherwise resolve. After reading this weeks InfoAve Premium, I purchased and installed Registry Commander. After running the programme, there were 765 errors indicated, and 3 tweaks installed. The day before, I ran my weekly check with Registry Mechanic, which indicated only 35 errors. To use someone else's terminology, "Every day, someone makes a better 'mouse-trap'. Thank you for all the good work over the years in keeping computers healthy, and users much more wise and safe. Yours faithfully, John in Oz.t of techies blogging about registry cleaners/optimizers - many of them saying that they don't work or provide only minimal system improvements. One of the most common reasons they cite for why you don't need a registry cleaner/optimizer is that Windows ignores the orphans and junk in your registry and only uses the good stuff. Well, that's true. But while it's true it also leaves out a very important element: time. The more junk you allow to accumulate in your registry, the more junk Windows has to sort through to get to the things it needs. The more time Windows spends sorting through the trash to find the things it needs, the slower your computer becomes. And at first it may not even be noticeable - computers are very fast. But allowed to build up over months and months, you will notice a slight lag here and there - a bit of hesitation - slower shutdowns, slower start ups.

  • Reimage - Before you call a computer repair tech or spend several hundred dollars - consider Reimage! In an era when big companies like Best Buy's Geek Squad spend millions and millions of dollars extolling the virtues(?) of its sundry services, many folks with broken computers will simply pick up the phone and call Geek Squad or another heavily-advertised computer repair service. It's not until the repair is finished that the computer owner realizes how Geek Squad can afford all those cute(?) Volkswagens and that multi-gazillion-dollar ad budget.  The shock is the bill - if you have your computer repaired in your home it will cost $299.95 - if you lug it into a Best Buy near you, you'll pay $199.95. And what do you get for that much money? If your computer isn't running well and is in need of repair - READ THIS before you call Geek Squad or someone else!

This week's Rant

The Bigger My World Gets

In the midst of a busy and tiring day like this one, it's hard to imagine tranquility. It's hard to separate myself from all that swirls around me and imagine a simpler day, a simpler time, a simpler place. Someday these kinds of busy days will be far behind me and I'll have only the vaguest memories of them. And when that someday comes, I'll yearn for the time when my days were full and busy and the swirling retinue of having so many things to do would be a welcome and much appreciated reprise. There's a constant yearning within me - for what I used to be, for what I might have been, for what I still might be. My world has grown so big and complex and it hard sometimes not to yearn for the small and uncomplicated world I knew as a child.

When I was a child my world was small and uncomplicated; my dreams were unfettered by the restrictions of what is possible, untainted by reality: the dreams of a child are pure. When I was a child I had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player, a TV weatherman, a rock star, a movie star, a writer, a fireman who race to fires in a white fire truck, a lone sailor sailing a vast but placid sea, discovering uncharted islands, an astronaut landing on a distant planet, and so many other things.

The bigger my world gets, the smaller my dreams become.
