Step-By-Step
Is your PC growing sluggish, acting strangely, or even occasionally locking up? Although these symptoms could indicate a serious problem, it's more likely that a quick Windows tune-up is all you need to return your PC to tip-top health.
There are a legion of add-in utilities available for Windows, and you might have to lay down the bucks (if you haven't done so already) for a comprehensive utility suite such as Norton SystemWorks or Ontrack's SystemSuite 4 to iron out any thorny problems.
