New Computer - If you buy a new computer we can set it up for you. We will setup
all the computer hardware and software, then answer any questions you might have.
This is a complete package and a great way to get started with your new PC. Ring
us with details of what you want and we will give you a quote over the phone.
Full Recovery Service - In some cases if your machine starts running slow it may
need a full system re-installation. If a re-installation is required we will always
back up your data before we continue. Once the data has been backed up the re-installation
can be carried out safely. The full recovery service includes, data backup, operating
system installation, anti-virus installation, all peripheral devices, all software,
data recovery to hard disk drive, Internet and E-mail and any other reasonable request.
Wireless - We will set up all your wireless devices and configure the security settings
so that only authorised users can access your network/Internet.
If you have wires running across your floor or down the stairs you may want to install
a wireless router. The wireless router can be installed by any phone line (or cable
if you are with virgin media) and then configured so that you can access the Internet
wirelessly.
By configuring the security settings in your router no-one else can log on to your
network.
All routers have two usernames and passwords, the first is to guard against access
to the router and the second is to guard against access to the network/Internet.
Most people set the password to access the network/Internet but the username and
password to access the router are sometimes left as the default.
Default username and passwords for routers are easily found on the Internet so if
you haven’t changed it you could have people logging into your router. Once they
are in your router they can use your Internet or even worse they could stop your
router from working.
Hardware Service - Servicing a computer is especially important for machines that
get heavy use. The fans inside can clog up with dust and cause vital components to
overheat and fail.
- We will clear all the dust out of the machine.
- Check lubrication on all the fans to make sure your PC is as quiet and efficient
as the day you bought it.
- Supply and fit any suggested hardware upgrades.
Software service - Is your machine running slow? There are many reasons why computers
start to run slow.
- We will diagnose any issues that could be affecting the speed of your machine and
change relevant settings to help improve performance.
- Check your machine for viruses and other security risks.
- Un-install unwanted programs.
- Give general software maintenance tips.
Problem Solving - If you have been trying to achieve a goal with your computer but
just can’t get it to do what you want then we can help.
- Send us an e-mail with the details of your problem and we will be able to suggest
some simple steps to get you working correctly.
- A service call may be required for the more complex problems but if we can’t get
it working then we won’t charge you.
We will check with you that you have the right equipment to achieve what you want
to be able to do; if you have and you still can’t get it to work then we will come
and show you how to do it.
intermittent Faults - We deal with intermittent faults differently. We will always
try the cheapest solution first if we genuinely believe that it may fix the fault.
If the fault re-occurs at a later stage then we will call back at no extra charge;
we will not switch our phones off and pretend that you don’t exist once we have your
money! These sort of faults can happen and we are committed to dealing with this
type of problem until we see it through to a conclusion.

Microsoft office we can help. Training is targeted at new users.

PC to make sure you get the right training for what you need to do.
