9/23/2009 6:02:55 PM This PC is running fine at the moment since I did a Gateway Recovery. I caught a virus about 7/25/09 (Win32/Virut). Never had a problem with 'em before. I couldn't even got to the virus update sites. It kept craching, Nero BackItUp 1.2.0.53 didn't work, etc, etc, etc. Only thing now my DVD drive sometime lock up. Only restartin the whole system will free it. Never had that problem before. My USB mouse also know sometimes locks up. I have to unplug and put it back it every now and again. That never use to happen before. And I cann't seems to get my PCI SoftV92 Data Fax Modem with SmartCP to work since the reinstall Gateway recovery to date (Wed. 9/23/09). Every time I try ti install the modem and boot up the system would crash over & over again. I now got the nower driver in but it says device it working fine but but application cann't access port com3. That's why I'm doing this scan. I'm not sure if its hardware or software or both ? ? ?

9/29/2010 1:08:57 PM That's why I purchased PC Matic to try to optimize my computer. I just called my provider to answer the speed question. My tech person was in another country and she gave me this info. Download=1.5 mbps Upload=896kbps Can you get what you need from these figures? Hopefully!

7/30/2009 5:13:29 AM Just try to 0ut in a crack in a Vedio editor program, I think I may hav put in a virus. Every thing slowly stopped working to the point I cann't boot up. I'm not a tech guy (greek whatever) but every time I try to bootup and a minute after login the system craches. And this is after a Gateway recovery with backup of file option. Before this problem I been trying to backup my user file with nero Back It Up v1.2.0.53, each time it would run for several disk then lockup with no explaination. I only have about 16 GB of free space to try to backup about 75 to 100 GB of user files. If I cann't figure this out I may have to do a Full Distructive Recovery lossing everything!

3/5/2013 12:58:21 PM it just isn't working as fast as it used to, and I can't figure out why. All the usual troublehooting measures: scandisk, checkdisk, defrag - even turning off programs from autormacially openening on Start - none of it is helping.

4/11/2010 7:09:14 PM Recently, my computer has been acting up. The bar at the bottom of my desktop where it displays the time, start button, etc., has been turning gray instead of the blue it is suppose to be. My sound keeps disabling itself, and it requires reboots to fix these problems only temporarily. I don't know if it is a virus or not, but I really want to get this fixed. I am not satisfied with how my computer is running at this moment.

2/18/2010 8:37:54 PM This computer continually freezes up and I have to reboot to get off the computer, and that is the only way to get some things off the screen. It is annoying to have to keep shuting down every time you open up a new program or can't finish what you are doing. It freezes to much. Maybe it is to old.
