Burning Down the Barn<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it’s a Microsoft conspiracy: In my 27-year career in computing, I haven’t found a single, super-duper program to fix all of the troubles of a troubled PC. (I’m waiting for Leo<\/a> to prove me wrong, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.) <\/p>\n

Sure, there are God-only-knows how many Registry fixer-uppers that purport to get your computer back on track. And every few months, a slick magazine will promise that its 20 Secret Insider Troubleshooting Tricks<\/em> article will restore your PC to  pristine condition. The nerve of those annoying insiders keeping secrets! (Here’s a revelation: I used to be one of those insiders: How to Solve the Weirdest PC Mysteries<\/a>, Ultimate PC Troubleshooting Guide<\/a>, Computing Hassles Driving You Bonkers? We Feel Your Pain<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

But my experience tells me that to find and eliminate computer problems, you must use small, single-purpose diagnostic and repair tools, and dig deeply into Google for advice.<\/p>\n

Now, when things get really<\/em> bad, it may take more than fiddling with the Registry or uninstalling a few programs. You might have to "burn down the house": a computing euphemism for wiping your hard drive and doing a clean reinstall of the operating system. Or, if you believe Microsoft’s marketing, just upgrade to Windows 7 and all your problems will be solved. (Pause here for prolonged laughter.)<\/p>\n

The most difficult decision is whether to stay the course with various fix-it tools, or put on your work gloves, dig out all the original operating system and application discs, and spend some quality face time rebuilding your PC.<\/p>\n

It’s a big chore to tackle so, in this and future newsletters, I’ll suggest some tools to help you make the decision — and then get the job done.  <\/p>\n
