Continuing my posts on the tech services I offer. This page will be permanently linked at the tech services link to the right.

The setup service is used to get a new computer started on the right foot, here are the details….

So you have a new system, maybe the grandchildren picked it up for you or you finally decided to give Vista a try. Did you buy a system for your parents or grandparents and they need help getting it started? Let DaTechGuy help you get it all set up.

What I will do:

* I will take control of your system
* I will clean out temp files
* I will increase your virtual memory
* I will install an anti-virus if you already have one or install a free one if you don’t
* I will tweak your Internet Explorer for better protection and efficiency
* I will run system updates
* I will INFORM you if I see signs of a virus’ or spyware on your system
* I will if necessary install a secondary browser
* I will configure your e-mail program
* I will if you provide the dvd’s create the recovery dvd’s for your system if it has that option
* I will install up to two other programs for you if you have the disks for them
* I will on request download a word processor for you.
* I will setup multiple accounts and parental protection at your request
* If you have already backed up files from an old system to a hard drive or thumb drive I will move the files to the new system
* I will attempt to install a local usb printer and will set it up for sharing if you wish

Selling some services this week

Well the job picture isn’t getting much brighter but the services I’m offering are doing better. I made enough last week to pay for logmein for the month and part of the eBay fees. If I can sell two of each of the services I offer per week I can completely replace the income from my job and do this full time. (Maybe even take on a 10 hour a week intern!) If I can do half of that I can replace unemployment.

That’s likely farther down the road and if an appealing full time job comes then I’d only do this part time since the license won’t expire for 16 months.

Either way we will see and not to sound too mercenary but if you have computer issue remember I’m simply an e-mail and an online connection away.
