3/23/2010 5:40:25 PM Have had many different problems since getting this computer. Had a PC-Tuneup that came with it when I first got it, since program expired (could not afford to re-at-time) have had many many speed,stability,and performance, problems on not only my laptop but also my desktop. My desktop is the one I have really really had major problems with. I have just installed this, and I will see How this helps. More to follow as time goes on and I have had an opportunity to see if your progam HELPS OR NOT! Thank you.
