Proper Software Installation and Troubleshooting

Software installation was a special skill during the early days. Only a few from common citizens know and appreciate the benefits of software installation. Now, software installation is just like a game or a simple task that even kids and teenagers can do even without formal education. However, there is a high risk of damaging your computer when you are not aware of the rules and proper ways of software installation.

Software installation from a disk is as easy as playing a movie. In some cases, the installer would automatically run, but for some, you may need to click on the icon on your desktop and look for the file that has the software installation instruction in it. For security purposes, make sure to enter an administrator name and password. Software installation and updates from a downloaded file can be riskier than that of the disc since it has been circulated and downloaded by other systems that can be the cause of viruses and other problems. There are two types of installers; one is that with an automatic or updated installer and one with none. Software installation from a downloaded file that doesn’t have an installer will need manual mounting. This can be possible by simply looking for the installer icon on the site and dragging it onto your system to automatically update.

When something goes wrong with the software installation, there are the top troubleshooting tips you can follow. First is to verify that you have an administrative access. Make sure that you are aware of the admin name and the password, in case you have forgotten them, try resetting the software or ask for professional assistance. Another is to make sure that you’ve entered the serial code correctly; it is best to double check the serial code and the one on your screen before entering to avoid interchanging of the letters and numbers. There are also requirements needed for software installation such as a huge disc space for updates, good internet connection for software installation and the proper updated cleaning and anti-virus tools. If there are still some issues you encounter on software installation, try removing application receipts that consist of the old admin name and password; this only works for those who wish to reinstall the software.

Be very careful in software installation since this is a high risk task on your system.

FAQ’s on Computer Diagnostics

What are computer diagnostics?

Computer diagnostics are computer programs that identify system problems by scanning the hard disk and other hardware components of your computer. These are important software programs because they pinpoint the things that hamper the system’s over-all performance.

What do computer diagnostics do?

The main function of computer diagnostics is to ensure optimum efficiency of computer operation. This is why these software programs regularly scan all the drives embedded in your system; to ensure that any PC-related issues are identified and resolved before there is a chance for them to severely damage any of the drives. Aside from scanning drives, most computer diagnostic software can also correct PC-related issues to restore it to its functional state.

In cases of larger computer networks such as those found in offices and business establishments, IT professionals run computer diagnostics using software programs that are capable of managing more comprehensive scans than the programs included with most operating systems used for personal computers. Computer diagnostics are done periodically to make it easier for the IT team to check if the system’s performance is generally okay. The broader applications of computer diagnostics are, the more it easier it is to locate and resolve a problem before it spreads to other portions of the network.

Are computer diagnostic programs hard to install?

Contrary to what new computer users think, software installation is not that hard. In fact, there are times when you need not worry about computer diagnostic software installation because it is already embedded in the operating system that came with your computer when you bought it. But if you are still having a hard time with your software installation, you may want to seek the help of computer technicians to make things easier for you.

How do I make the most out of computer diagnostics?

After software installation, you may want to set up the recurring schedule of automatic scans. Most diagnostic software offer this option to their users. And because computer scans sometimes make the computers run slow, it is highly recommended that you schedule it at the end of your work day, or at the end of your work week – whichever is more convenient for you.
