Bug Pretty Certainly Suspected
Recording Limbaugh today, two Inspirons (a 1200 and a 2200) running real producer (real audio's free encoders of audio) both went beserk, taking 100% of the CPU at highest priority. Very strange.

After plugging the keyboard into each of the available USB ports (there are 5 on the rear panel and 2 on the front panel) three or four times it finally decided to start working.

eSATA port on Studio 1555?
I have a Studio 1555 laptop... never used the eSATA port before. Now I want to transfer some files from another hard drive. I have an eSATA cable. There is a port on the side of the case marked "(USB symbol)/eSATA" but the eSATA cable doesn't come close to fitting this connector. Do I need a special cable a... 28 May 2010 19:15

Full install disks
I just spoke with a Dell representative and he told me that all Dell will include is a "restore to factory settings" disk. He said if I wanted full install disks for Win7, I would have to buy the OS separately. Has anyone been able to get full restore disks lately? Thanks, Anne ... 26 May 2010 20:15
