Here is the 2007 update of an earlier article I wrote about hurrying up your picture redaction computer.
Today, we have got 4 picture redaction computing machines in our new Technopreneur Centre studio. Two desktops and two laptops. They run on Windows XP. Forget about Windows View for the moment, because the application programmes have got not caught up with it yet.
Our picture redaction software system is Sony Vegas. Our DVD combustion software system is Ulead MovieFactory. Our DV to DVD direct capturing software system is Ulead VideoStudio.
These programmes necessitate tons of memory and processing powerfulness in order to run smoothly. Though our picture redaction computing machines come up with upper limit memory and the up-to-the-minute processors, we still accede to our monthly computing machine public presentation optimizing routine. The whole procedure takes less than one hour.
Step 1 : Update ZoneAlarm firewall.
ZoneAlarm firewall have served us well for many years. Our computing machines are connected online all the time, so we are vulnerable to spywares and hackers that privation to works hidden programmes in our computers. These concealed programmes work in the background that volition slow down our system. ZoneAlarm have since detected and prevented many undesired intrusion. ZoneAlarm reminds us automatically whenever an update is required. ZoneAlarm firewall is freeware.
Step 2: Update AVG anti-virus protection.
AVG detects and takes viruses coming from cyberspace downloads, electronic mail attachments, thumbdrives, memory card game and external drives. These usually come up from clients that make not have got anti-virus protection installed. A virus freezings or clangs your picture redaction computing machine rather than slow it down. AVG have detected many viruses coming from electronic mail attachments, especially the recent Trojan ecards. Thanks to AVG, our picture redaction computing machines are safe. AVG updates itself daily. Its is also freeware.
Step 3: Search and cancel isolated picture and audio files.
Sometime we capture or make picture data data files that are abandoned and not used. If they are not created in designated folders, these cartridge holders can acquire lost and forgotten in the difficult thrust with many other files. This is not good as picture data files take up tons of memory space. If this accumulates, the difficult disc space will cut down very quickly. Use data file adventurer to seek for mass media files, picture and audio. Delete them if they are not required any more. This housework occupation is done manually.
Step 4: Run CCleaner.
The picture production concern progresses with technology. New software system are created frequently to do picture production faster and easier. We also trust heavily on software system for picture conversion, picture copying and creative activity of DVDs. Very often we download and put in trial versions. We purchase and maintain the good 1s and uninstall the rest. Uninstalling programmes makes not wipe out them completely. Bits of the programme will be left behind. Again, the the accretion of these spots over clip will eat up memory space. This is where CCleaner come ups in. CCleaner detects and takes the bits. This freeware also takes your cyberspace browser cookies and history. It is like giving the computing machine a good bracing bath. The picture redaction computing machine feel sparkling clean after that.
Step 5: Defragment.
Finally, after getting quit of the dirt, dirt and bugs, tidy up the remaining data files in the computer. Imagine an untidy sleeping room with things all over the floor. You have got thrown away the old or soiled material that you make not want. The room is still untidy if you go forth the things you desire lying around. Imagine arranging your things to one side, you will now have got a large empty space to dance around. This is exactly what defragmentation does. Just right-click on Degree Centigrade drive, choice properties, tools and chink defragment now.
There you have got it, the 5 stairway to rush up the public presentation of your picture redaction computer. Bash this monthly and you will experience that your computing machine is as good as new.
