This being our first show post-holidays, weve decided to talk about the steps that each of us take when getting a new PC. Whats the first thing you do? What software do you install? How do you prepare for digital disaster? Let us know in the comments what steps you take. Microsoft tech troubleshooter <span>extraordinaire Gov Maharaj and I help walk you through troubleshooting solutions to your tech support problems. If you have a problem you want to send us, you can use the Problem Step Recorder in Windows 7 ( http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The-Defrag-Show/Defrag-003-Win7-Shutdown-Slowdowns-Prob-Step-Recorder-MSI-Failures#time=06m30s see this for details on how) and send us the zip file to <a>DefragShow@microsoft.com . We will also be checking comments for problems, but the email address will let us contact you if needed. http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The-Defrag-Show/Defrag-So-You-Just-Got-a-New-PC#time=01m00s [01:00] - Getting started
