|
7/11/2020 11:08:33 AM | It's an XP era Dell Business class laptop. Sturdy machine, that happens to run WIN 10 with very little effort for it's age. Maybe a little slow at times, but good enough for my purposes. |

|
1/26/2021 12:41:46 PM | It is a used and older computer that has been updated with a newer Operating System and RAM, so I expact some slow performance. |

|
10/16/2018 10:11:32 PM | I could give a more accurate answer to these questions several days from now. |

|
4/18/2017 5:44:04 AM | works but is cumberson in places. error reporting is minimal |
|
11/7/2015 3:05:32 PM | Purchased because I have some hobby equipment that works best with the older Windows XP, Vista, or 7 operating systems. My previous spare, a Dell Latitude D630 black screened in October 2015 and I really needed a replacement for a special project. This is the replacement. Just because it's older doesn't mean that I want it to running at less than optimal settings. I like the Total Defense PC Tune-Up. |

12/6/2009 8:52:19 PM | Prior to Scans the PC Hangs up between processes in various applications, internet speeds have slowed despite regular maintenance including PC Optimize and PC Disc Doctor, etc. 12/4/09 scan resulted in inability to fix the three items shown and couldn't check certain system aspects. The alert suggested uninstall and reinstall which has been done (12/6/09). Rescan showed the same three fixes were needed. This time auto fix worked and the trhee items were taken care of. Upon executing the recommended rescan. System encountered difficulty and PC Matic was stopped by Windows. I had toi use Task Manager top force a quit to finally clear the application. I reopened PC Matic, performed a scan, reached this screen and made these notes. Now we'll see what happens when I push the "SAVE" Button. Follow Up: The scan was saved, the information screen showed one still needed. A driver that seems to defy updating. I Clicked "FIX" the aplication proceeded through its steps, including download and install of the driver. Shortky thereafter, Windows shut the application down for an unknown reason. Looks like things are where they were, except that I don't get a message saying to reinstall the PC Matic application. I will now save this scan, close the application without trying to FIX anything, reopen my internet security program and move along. I hope that at least the computer runs more quickly and expereinces fewer delays and hang ups. We shall see.... |
