How to Start a Computer Repair Business?

November 18th, 2011 2 comments

Hello! I would like to start a mobile computer repair business in California.

Is there any California law that states I have to have a certification to do such work?

I know I have to register the company, but what do I do after that?

Thanks.

How can I get rid of my registry errors on my HP Laptop?

November 15th, 2011 1 comment

I’m running Windows 7 and I bought Fit-It Utilities 10 Professional Edition but it can’t fix my registry errors. I contacted HP and they said it’s not covered under my warranty and wanted another $169 to fix it or have me spend $200 with the Geek Squad at Best Buy. I have technical ability so if there is a workable solution out there I can implement it. Appreciate any assistance.

Do you mean Fix-it Utilities? Anyway, not a good program and I wouldn’t worry about so called registry errors. It’s kind of a scam. All registry cleaners or registry "optimizers" do is look for obsolete entries that point to files on your computer that are no longer there or were never there (have yet to be created). The fact a registry cleaner says you have errors means very little. Those kinds of programs don’t fix anything, they just delete information they think is obsolete. It all has no effect on performance.
