7/26/2010 12:14:07 PM This computer came with a windows XP disk that I can downgrade to. I will do this but I have to get my son who is well versed in computer technology to partition my harddrive and add XP onto it. This will be done in a few days.

8/25/2011 6:39:12 AM Bonjour, Nous étions très satifait de cet ordinateur jusqu'à tout récemment. L'ordinateur ne sert principalement qu'à l'accès internet avec peu de logiciel et aucun jeu. Depuis quelques semaines, l'ordinateur ne fonctionne pas bien. Après utilisation et lorsqu'en mode veille, il n'est plus possible d'utiliser l'ordinateur, le bouton de mise sous tension ne fonctionne plus ( impossible de fermer l'appareil en appuyant plus de 5 sec. ). Afin de redémarrer l'ordinateur, on doit débrancher l'alimentation.

6/30/2010 11:58:25 PM Just purchased this computer. Call Circuit City tech support for information on the speed of the current processor. was suggested that I purchase tune up software to make it perorm at it's peak capasity. If the computer does not run any faster after installing this software then it did when I purchased it. I will return the entire system along with all software and expect a full refund...

7/28/2012 10:10:32 PM Windows 7 Operating System is not a good OS, I want a Linux OS. This pc crashes too often, slow bootup, microsoft has too many updates (security issues) and gets malware frequently. My current immediate issue is Windows failed to allow me to format my newly purchased 64 GB USB Patriot Torqz SSD. I thought it was a driver issue and hope "Total Defense PC TUNE -UP will solve this USB SSD issue.
