3/11/2010 4:24:14 PM This computer takes a long time to start up. There are a large number of processes that run automatically on start-up, and many of them I don't know what they do or why they open automatically.

12/5/2009 10:01:55 AM I marked that the computer is not running slow but the answer is more like not really, but start up could be faster. It does crash to a blue screen from time to time.

10/24/2014 4:08:06 PM This computer runs special programs that Windows 8 can't handle. Furthermore unlike the updated software put out by Microsoft which is loaded with craplets, the previous versios of Microsfot Office run excelent onthis computer and allow greater and faster productivity than with the new software that isobject oriented.

5/5/2009 6:12:36 PM my only grip with this laptop is that Vista looks at dell packaged software as something other than microsoft product even though it is microsoft........explorer for example shows up as a dell product and vista has to ask you to allow it to run instead of just running it like any other microsoft product.
