|
2/25/2011 10:02:24 AM | While there have been some minor problems on occations, the computer has been remarkably reliable. I hear of many problems on other computers far newer. I am concerned about the age but can not afford to replace it at this time |

|
5/18/2010 4:32:07 PM | I use this computer for working at home. Until recently it worked just fine but lately it's been quite slow and keeps "not responding". I can't afford a new computer and even if I could, don't want the hassle of transferring everything over to a new one so want to extend the life of this one. |
|
12/31/2010 12:06:18 AM | OVER THE YEARS, THE SYSTEM HAS STARTED RUNNING SLOWER AND SLOWER. I HAVE UGRADED THE RAM TO 1 GB. MINIMAL RESULTS. |

|
7/7/2010 5:56:18 PM | This computer is one of the main computers that run the organization, I've recently cleaned the Hard Drive which did speed the computer up considering the way it was running. |
|
3/16/2010 2:02:27 AM | It's been a great workhorse for more than 7 years. I had to have additional memory installed a couple of years ago because of demands of newer programs I've installed, but it still serves me well. |
|
4/6/2010 9:28:47 PM | during phase 2 fragmentation this pc just rebooted. so i am running it again. |

|
10/8/2009 8:48:36 PM | There are some problems which I have checked but have not repaired. The CD drive does not work. I am unable to turn off the computer. If I do I must remove the CMOS and then it will work. I have changed the motherboard but it didn't help. I think the proble is in the on/off circuitry. |
|
11/5/2009 7:50:49 AM | I have a script problem that hangs system. I use a magic Jack phone system on it for my phone. |

|
12/2/2012 2:19:42 AM | I sent this computer to a classmate of mine who uses your software and now this computer is 100 times faster than it was when I sent it off to him. I can't believe it is the same computer I sent to him 3 days ago and he did not upgrade the RAM or anything he just cleaned it up and updated the services packs for me and it rns great now. He talks highly of your products and will use them on all of his systems for his up coming company. |
|

|
12/18/2009 12:38:16 PM | Computer is not necessarily always slow. I know cleaning disk and defragmenting help, but it just seems to have a slower response time some days in booting up selected programs. |

|
1/16/2010 2:36:52 AM | Slow at times but general operation is O.K. I had dial up for several years and just got high speed so it is too soon to tell because it is so much faster than befor. |
|
1/21/2010 2:44:55 PM | Slow at times but general operation is O.K. I had dial up for several years and just got high speed so it is too soon to tell because it is so much faster than befor. |
|
1/29/2010 8:33:29 PM | I really have not had a good chance to use this program. But my entire family is now in the process of getting it on theirs. I will be able to notice after I restart and scan again. Then I will really be able to share. |

|
2/26/2010 6:48:43 PM | I was satisfied until computer froze, and a Smart Computer representative said I had to completely reinstall everything; and, this was before I had saved everything on a separate hard disc. This computer has been nothing but trouble since then. The computer is all right; but, now it needs to be cleaned up. |

|
12/2/2009 1:07:32 PM | Recently, the computer started taking a very long time to start up. It just seems to stall and if I leave it alone it will eventually come on, maybe 30 minutes later. This started up after I reinstalled my printer. |
|
10/14/2010 10:33:45 AM | I have always used Incredimail and now it is locked due to the Norton Antivirus program that they want me to purchase. |

|
7/25/2010 12:12:27 PM | This PC picked up a virus a couple of months back while using Stopzilla. The Stopzilla product was not able to remove it so I switched to AVG as my virus protection. While AVG was able to remove all virus products, PC is still slow (takes 30 seconds after clicking Mozilla Firefox to connect to internet). Not sure what all the other disk activity is but generally the PC operates much slower since picking up the virus and I still suspect that remnants or other changes the virus may have made have not been cleared up. |
|
7/11/2010 3:14:23 PM | Runs very slow, seems too many processes are running. Freezes often. |
|
7/23/2010 11:11:24 PM | its ok but its slow and old |
|
7/29/2010 4:06:50 PM | Computer was running fine until we installed anti-virus software last year. We uninstalled several months ago and it still takes forever to log on and change pages. Also, whenever we turn it on for a new session it's back on a "dos-type" screen and we have to hit F1 and initialize each time. |
|

|
12/6/2010 11:19:57 AM | An icon in the status bar indicates CPU usage is 100% and it seems to take a very long time to change screens or applications. |
|
12/9/2010 1:46:27 AM | i look forward to get a better performance from my DELL pc. |
|
12/11/2010 10:58:39 AM | this is my first set |

9/26/2010 12:25:24 PM | Trojan Virus infected this PC and I need better Protection to keep this PC safe. Microsoft Securities Essentials found it and removed it, but this CA software found that 19% of the PC was infected with Trojans. I pray this PC is now safe. The DVD and CD would not save files and it better now. |
|
9/27/2010 11:03:40 AM | Unit while into a program sometimes shuts down and must be rebooted to get going again. Also cabnot restore this Unit to a prior date. |

2/20/2011 8:45:09 AM | Let me check on this question |
|
4/28/2014 8:13:00 PM | It has run slow for years, most likely because I am the one who set it up! I was a novice when I bought it (but I have since notched up to a "novice +")! Anyway, the biggest problem is that the CPU will sometimes "hiccup/stop" because a "system error" notice pops up on the screen, especially when the internet screen has a lot of color. The notice asks if I want to "debug". I have learned to say no to its request to "debug" realizing it takes less time with "no" than with "yes"for that annoying pop-up to stop aooearing! Basically, whether a "yes" or "no" it takes at least 5 to 8 teies and the notice finally disappears, but no "debugging" has ever taken place as far as I know. But, I should add that my initial "notice" staus caused me to overrun the free 30-day period for no-cost DELL help such that I was asked to pay DELL in order to get their help in stting up my programs ("software" in geek terminology (I think). The Dimension 4550 is OK and I figure that I have another 10 years of use out of it (with this high-tech" PCMatic now in effect!!!!! Nuff said. Thanks for reading, if you have hung on this long. |

6/22/2011 6:24:27 PM | generally reliable...would like for speed to be faster; videos sometime pause during broadcast |
|
6/24/2011 5:34:59 PM | Please email my PCMatic License Key to [email protected]. I bought the program and the key disappeared from my screen after printing. Print was illegible. Thank you. |

|
10/31/2011 12:05:18 PM | Our computers in the office have been getting slow and locking up. We just bought a new one for one person from you and were told of the cleanup program. Am hoping this will help mine and one other & will use to keep the new one running...We have high speed internet with Verizon. Has not helped much! |
|
4/26/2011 6:33:36 PM | This system has always run slow campared to other PCs I've used |
|
11/29/2011 4:00:35 PM | I have never had a major problem with it and it has never had to be repaired. I have always tried to keep up with the cleanings. |

|
11/9/2011 2:31:05 PM | This was my first home computer that I purchased some time ago. It's proved useful for the time I've had it for what I use it for. I've upgraded to an additional laptop computer that was ranked in your top 1% after running PC Tune-Up on that machine soon after purchasing. |

1/20/2021 1:23:52 AM | I just use it for printing certain documents and I like it's simplicity - Windows XP is very easy to use and I like the games area which comes with XP. I also have Windows 10 on my laptop but I find it very complicated and much harder to use - I guess I am old fashioned. And I think I bought this computer in 2003 - not listed on your "When was this PC purchased?" |

11/22/2010 3:16:55 PM | In recent months has very stop/start when several windows are open when suring the web and sometimes locks-up. No amount of clean-ups ie emptying temp file folders and the like and even defragmenting the hard-drive does not improve things. Also having the log-on to the web and start-up of my e-mail program really slows the PC down and sometimes fails to make a connection to default browser. |
