Our Services

Software Repair-Problems with software are usually caused by one of these three things:
Virus/Spyware/Adware-If your computer is infected with either of these, it affects the way your computer runs. They can slow your computer down or even make it not run, open annoying popups, or worst of all send your private data (such as credit card or social security numbers) to people who will use that information for criminal purposes. There isn't one single program that can detect everything. We use six different scanning programs to make sure you and your computer are safe. If we do find something on your computer, we manually remove it from your system.

Registry Problems-Much of the software and hardware you install in your computer these days affects your computer's registry. The registry is the configuration database inside your computer. Every time you change a control panel setting or alter Windows in some way, the registry changes. Sometimes programs change wrong values in the registry and this can cause your computer to stop functioning correctly. In most cases we can fix these problems and get your computer back to normal.

Installation/Uninstallation Problems-Sometimes when you install a program, not everything goes in the right place. This can cause that program to not function properly, and can even make Windows not run correctly. Also, sometimes when you go to uninstall a program, little pieces of it are left on your computer. This can also cause Windows to not function properly. Ususally these problems show up when you first start your computer. Maybe you get a warning message or a popup. Maybe other things fail to start because of this. Let us take care of it for you.
Hardware Repair-Let's face it. Nothing lasts forever, and computer hardware is no exception. We are able to fix or replace or upgrade almost all the components in your computer. From crashed hard drives to failing laptop screens, we can get your computer up and running again fast. If we don't have a part in stock, we can get most parts within 2-3 days.

Internet-There's nothing more annoying than starting up Internet Explorer and getting that page "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Most likely causes are...". You've seen it, we know you have. If you can't connect to the internet for any reason, let us know, and we'll come by and fix it for you, 24 hours a day. If you can't connect to your wireless network anymore, we can fix that too.

Network Sales/Setup:

Why Network?
There are two main reasons people set up a network in their home or office:
You have multiple computers. With a network, you can share your files, music, and movies between all the computers on the network. You can even print over the network from any computer!

You want to access the internet or networked computers wirelessly. We can set up a secure wireless network for you in no time. This will give you the freedom to use your laptop to access the internet from wherever you want to. You can also connect desktop computers anywhere in the building without wires. When we set up a wireless network, we make sure that it is a secure wireless network. This is the most important part of a wireless network. Without security it is possible for someone to access your network, and your files, from anywhere within range of the network.
Equipment
To set up a network, you will need a router. These days, most routers are wireless. Routers allow you to connect four computers using CAT-5 network cables, and you can connect many wireless computers. There is almost no noticeable difference between the wired and the wireless computers. The router connects to your cable or DSL modem. From there it splits the internet signal to any computer connected to it, wired or wireless. We then set up each computer to share designated files with all of the other computers. Your network is then complete.

To connect a computer to the router using a network cable, the computer will need a network interface card. If the computer was purchased within the last eight years, there is a good chance it has a built in network card. If you happen to be using an older computer that doesn't have a network card, wired network cards are very inexpensive.

To connect a computer wirelessly, the computer will need to have awireless network card installed. All new laptops, and most late-model laptops come with a built-in wireless network card. Many new desktops come with them pre-installed as well. If your laptop doesn't have one built-in, we can either install an internal wireless card or an external wireless card for you.

Many new printers also come with built in wired network cards, or wireless network cards. If your printer doesn't have one, don't worry about it. You will still be able to print over the network as long as the printer is connected to a computer on the network.

We then set up each computer to share designated files with all of the other computers, and change the printer settings so you can print from any computer. Your network is then complete.
We prefer to use Linksys equipment when setting up your network. Sometimes the equipment costs a little more, but in our experience it is worth it. The security features are the same in most brands, but Linksys seems to get better range and are built better. We once Duck-Taped a Linksys router back together that a refridgerator had fallen on and smashed. It still worked!

That being said, don't hesitate to call us if you have already purchased another brand of network equipment. We have installation and set up experience with all brands.
