Bigelow's Computer Repair Toolkit

This unique book/CD-ROM set gives you instant access to more than 100 freeware and shareware programs on the companion CD-ROM - and explains exactly why, when, and how to use them. These programs do essentially the same job as commercially available applications costing many hundreds of dollars more, but are provided here for you far more conveniently, economically, and, above all, usefully. The toolkit will enhance your ability to test the motherboard, chipsets, and support circuitry; pinpoint problems with ports, controller cards, and video adapters; clean and align floppy drives; make sure your monitor is "pixel-perfect"; monitor CD-ROM and hard drive performance; troubleshoot peripherals; detect and remove computer viruses; perform regular system maintenance and backup procedures; and fine-tune systems for optimum performance.
