computer problems

Here are some handy hints if you are having problems with the computers in studio:

The computers in 10b01 and 10b12 are powerful machines, most of the time it will be the network speed that is slowing down you workflow.

  • only watch videos related to your work, that means no “Home and Away” etc…
  • don’t watch movies found on Student Shared
  • save large files (over 100mb) to the local while working on them and copy to home drive when finished

Applications running slow?

  • only have the apps running you really need
  • only have a few files open per application
  • if you don’t need it open, close it down

If you are still having problems log a report with Massey IT services here. Be as descriptive as possible.
