This is a free utility that will help us best prepare for your Act installation and benefit you as a computer user in many other ways as well.

Pre-Installation Preparation
The Ultimate TroubleshooterWhen you first purchase a Windows computer, you might notice that almost every possible option, service and startup program is turned on. Microsoft likes you to have all the options ready for you when you are ready to try them. The problem is, you won’t need everything and all of these extra services and feature ‘gum’ up your PC, use up memory and hinder performance. Enter TUT, The Ultimate Troubleshooter, which is a very well written little package that let’s us/you see into the computer, turn off unneeded options and keeps the user from making big errors in the process. How? TUT explains what each startup item and service is, warning you which ones not to touch and advising which ones to remove. You PC will run leaner and meaner and you will notice the difference. TUT can help you with inevitable software and widows issues that you will run into down the road
