:P ya i shut down whenever m done on it xP

I shut my comp down almost every day....there are occasions where I have left it on for a couple on nights though.....

yeah it does not make sense

Just like us our computer gets tired. The computer creates a lot of heat and though the fans try to cool it it still gets hot and needs to cool down. There are many things that go on when you restart that are good for your computer so I do it once a week. Mine runs all night for updates to virus protection, programs, and my virus scans start in the middle of the night so I don't have to be interrupted by them. A LOT of problems with speed/memory etc. can be solved with a simple restart and defragmenting your hard drive regularly. ~ Mimi (Please read my Guest Book: Requesting Guide Help) _____________________________________________________ Mimi's Ménagerie: Healthy Tastes Good Here! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons

yea, I agree with you about the regular maintenance (reboot, defrag, etc.) That REALLY makes a difference! I turn mine on first thing in the morning - (before I even go to the bathroom, LOL!) - and leave it on until I go to bed at night. Occasionally I'll leave it on overnight, but when I do it usually gets a little buggy. My computer is 4 yrs old and very very overloaded (with programs, not files) so it really needs to reboot every day. Need books?
