It is amazing how many times that piece of advice really works.

And amazing how many people don't do it.

with our computers at work - my sequence of repair goes like this :

kick the hard drive, shut it off, kick the hard drive, call for help .....

and continue kicking.

Sometimes with my computer at work, I shut down and restart just because it needs it sometimes.

Before XP I had to do that several times a day. It still helps every now and then.

Ditto. Add to that now, I've discovered that if I periodically do likewise to my (TimeWarner provided) cable modem, throughput improves - sometime dramatically. Appears the modem collects digital lint over time ;-) just like WinBloz...

It helps if you curse too.
