| 8/29/2010 9:06:48 PM | IT has been running very slow... |
|
| 3/19/2010 10:19:33 AM | Doesn't require frequent reboots, but only occasional. CA software fails to delete some viruses - identifies them only. CA component files fail to load on startup. Since CA installation, unable to change users without logging each out completely. Willing to talk about them: dpenkala51@comcast.net or 508-746-2562, East Coast daytime. Dave Penkala |

|
| 1/31/2010 12:07:20 AM | Started having problems a few weeks ago. Computer started locking up & required a hard boot to get unfrozen. Called Mcafee & they removed viruses, called Dell & they did some troubleshooting, Comcast came out & checked the connection speed. Added 3 gigs of RAM to a max of 4 gigs. Seems to run slow when connected to the Internet and the performanence jumps to 70% or better of cpu usage when on the net |

|
| 9/5/2010 1:27:06 PM | could use more ram |
|
| 11/29/2009 6:31:09 PM | Some websites don't respond very quickly. Bandwidth issue, not PC issue I think |
|
| 7/25/2009 1:37:55 PM | I upgraded the video card for 3D CAM operation and maxed out the memory. Otherwise this unit is stock. |
|
| 10/10/2009 3:34:24 AM | I am getting RUNDLL errors, I think since I selected a wrong choice in my firewall/antivirus software (Comodo). My biggest issue right now is that I cannot use any item in 'control panel' except for 'administrative tools'. I am unable to resolve this issue because I don't know what caused the problem or where to find out what caused the problem. |
|
| 11/1/2009 3:34:49 PM | It used to be pretty fast. I need to figure out whether it is slow because I need to clean it out or whether it is slow because it is old and can't keep up anymore. |
|
| 5/23/2010 7:13:06 PM | new drives, new Windows 7, new power sourse and upgraded video card |

|
| 9/23/2010 9:19:09 AM | For the first year I used PitStop and was very satisfied. After upgrading to PC Matic, I now have lost printer functions and my Adobe Element no longer works. Working back and forth with one of your techs (Vince) I now have my Main HP LaserJet 1020 working. I have tried to reinstall Adobe Element without success. Also after running PC Matic I only had a 1 week ago restore point that did not work. I have expanded the memory for restore points and am still looking for a way to restore Adobe Element Printer so that I can convert Office documents to PDF form. |
|
| 3/25/2010 8:14:23 AM | It is getting slower and frequently does not shutdown normally but I have to use the "end now" button. |
|
| 11/23/2011 7:41:02 PM | Plan to get new computer... PCMatic installation just a stopgap to adress registry errors. |

|
| 12/18/2012 2:32:38 PM | Old mother-board, but new hard drive and operating system. Two older memory cards, two newer ones. Just not getting the improvements in speed or functionality that I hoped for, not sure why. A lot of web pages load slowly, and are very jerky to navigate around...hard to page down without long pauses. Browser freezes. Doesn't matter that I'm using an old version (3.6.23) of Firefox, version 17 is just as bad, and version 12 not great either. Not sure how to analyze for problem. |
|
| 8/7/2010 2:25:39 PM | It should run/open programmes faster, and lots of stuff does not work. |
|
