General PC maintenance advice
Hello all,
I recently uninstalled an Adobe program that completely messed up my computer (was no longer able to un/install programs, lost control of volume, services, ability to detect wireless networks, etc). Long story short, I had to restore PC to factory settings which wasn't easy (install kept failing)!
Now that I'm finally up and running with fresh install of Windows 7 again, can anyone please share any important information I should know about regarding general PC maintenance in the following areas (this is all new to me):
- registry management
- restore points
- boot / clean install windows
- clean program in/uninstall (what system files are affected)
- partition hard drive
My main concern is preventing new applications from messing up my computer and being able to restore Windows 7 easily. This is all new to and I would appreciate at least being pointed in the right direction! Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
