 What's wrong with Dell? I think they suck but I buy there computers. I guess some people think Dell is a company where they want your money well to tell the truth they do. But also Dell is a huge company and I mean huge, think about it Dell produces on average 14 computers a minute, that a lot of computers in one day. Big companies make mistakes, some larger then other some smaller then others. But for the people who think Dells service sucks it does, believe me. The reason why Dell is so un-organized, its two words out-sourcing, thats what causes the problem the language barrier and outsourcing. I like Dells products, but I feel sorry for an individual who has troubles with there computer and are forced to wait countless hours for even a simple reply or guess what? to be transferred to a different department. The reason why Dell sucks its because Dell makes Dell suck. I used to work as a Manager in Sales for Dell and believe me I know for fact that is customer relations. ...

 You know, everyone I talk to tells me: Do not buy a Dell - they suckkkkkk Do not buy a Dell - they suckkkkkk Do not buy a Dell - they suckkkkkk Do not buy a Dell - they suckkkkkk Do not buy a Dell - they suckkkkkk Do not buy a Dell - they suckkkkkk Do not buy a Dell - they suckkkkkk Well, at work, we use Dells. I have had this Dell pc for 4 years. It handles PDS, Microstation, AutoCAD, PDMS and Ribas all at the same time and mighty fine. It never crashes, it takes upgrades like a charm, and it is still super fast and never stalls on me. So, am I missing something? Do I click where it says "Buy" finally? ...

 Hello everyone. Updates on Dell computers. Most people, especially those who don't have good credit, or don't even have credit, complain about Dell products. Note that you MUST have good credit to purchase Dell products. My Dell battery has died after 3 years of use. Imagine that, 3 years! Enough said. Great job. Have you ever heard of keyboard silence? Well, Dell is the only computer maker to discover Keyboard silence. The Dell XPS system comes with an unique keyboard, allowing users to type without the disturbance of keyboard noise. Best ever! Media direct: This feature allows you to play DVD and Music without booting up windows! Save lots of battery power. The Dell XPS allows up to 8 hours of battery life!!! Yes, 2 duo processors and up to 2.30ghz Those who rather not to be Dell customers are missing a lot in today's newest technology. Sony, HP, Panasonic, Toshiba, Comaq, Acer, Mac, Voodoo, etc, don't have the features Dell has. Customer service. You can either call Dell via the phone, or better yet, contact them via Live chat over the Internet on their official Dell.com site. Below is my conversation with a Dell rep: Dell Rep: How may I help you today? Me: My computer screen won?t turn on. Dell rep: I am sorry to know this. May I have your home address and phone number to update your account? Me: Sure. Dell rep: Thank you for the information. Well, we?re going to take one step at a time. Let me know when you are ready. We performed 3 minutes of diagnoses, but the problem was not corrected. Dell Rep: It appears that your system is detective. Please allow me to set up a repair for you. Me: Thank you. Dell Rep: You are most welcome. Now, what is so bad about such customer service? How much more respectful and convenient Dell?s customer service can get? Dell Rep: We will ship you a box within a day or two, and your system will be repaired and returned to you within 3 days. In fact, the computer did return to me after 3 days and was in excellent condition. My question is: Why do you people degrade Dell customer service? And why do you try to learn their accent just as how they learned yours? ...

 Hi all ? I?m usually on the ?answer? end of this but today I have a question of my own. This is VERY LONG and detailed but I need serious help with Musicmatch Jukebox. I have scoured Microsoft?s support site, Musicmatch?s support site and even Dell?s support site. I?ve also checked previous questions and answers, here, pertaining to Musicmatch Jukebox. Some of the problems seemed similar and I tried some of the suggestions ? but nothing has worked. I?m stymied and need someone who is a real computer guru. Please don?t bother reading on or replying unless you work in Tech Support somewhere or have extensive programming experience. I do not want to screw up my computer more than it already is. I appreciate everyone?s support and understanding in this matter. I?m on a laptop ? Dell Inspiron 1150 running XP, Security Pack 2, AVG anti-virus software, Windows Beta Defender, and Advanced System Optimizer. Yesterday, Dell notifed me about an update for my DVD/CD-Rom drive, telling me that the update would fix possible hang-ups while using that drive. I had never had a problem with it before but I updated the drive anyway. I didn?t use the drive until later that day when I was trying to burn a disc. I kept getting error messages saying that my files couldn?t be burned (regrettably, I don?t recall the messages and didn?t write them down but it was something about not being able to finish the burn process for xyz reason and that I should update my musicmatch software). I thought it was a fluke, closed the software and tried again ? two more times, always with the same result and same message. So, I thought I was doing an update and during the install received a message that I need to uninstall the old musicmatch software first and then install the new software. I used Add/Remove programs and removed the Musicmatch entry. Then I installed the replacement. The first thing I noticed is that it wasn?t the same Musicmatch Jukebox I had before, that is, it looked completely different. Then I noticed that this new jukebox is the Yahoo! Musicmatch Jukebox. I wasn?t happy about that because that?s not what I thought I was getting. Also, I just purchased the DFX plug-in (sound enhancement) which didn?t show up anywhere in this new Musicmatch Jukebox. I looked in the plug-in folder and it wasn?t even listed there. Before these troubles started, DFX would always load up automatically along with the jukebox. I?m really frustrated now. I don?t want Yahoo! Musicmatch Jukebox. I want the same Musicmatch 10 I had before without the Yahoo engine or whatever that thingy is called. I uninstalled the Yahoo version and tried to reinstall my old version. No can do! Here are the messages I get: First Window: The skin bitmap was not found C:\Program Files\Musicmatch\Musicmatch Jukebox\skins\onyx\prlbtns.bmp I click ok and get the Second Window: Runtime Error! Program C:\Program Files\Musicmatch\Musicmatch Jukebox\mmjb.exe This program has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an usual way. Please contact the application?s support team for more info. I click ok and get the Third Window; a small, black rectangular window in the middle of the desktop that reads: There was a problem with either the play.dll or the mixer.dll I gave up on this last night but I?ve been at it all day again today ? trying to get my pc back to where it was yesterday, BEFORE that whole Dell update thing happened. And here?s the kicker. I can?t seem to unstall whatever is left of whatever version of Musicmatch Jukebox I now have. It shows up in ADD/Remove software, with 30.53 Megs. I When I try to unstall it I get this message: ?Setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the ?inconvenience. ? So ? I can?t use Musicmatch ? it won?t open. I can?t unstall and it start from scratch because of the set-up.exe encountering problems. I even tried using a jump drive and pulling the Jukebox off of my main computer (same version that my laptop had when it was still working primo) and copying the files to the musicmatch directory on my laptop. Also, a failure. Then I tried system restore. That didn?t work either. Then I undid the restore. Still the same problem. I might add that I don?t have disc from Dell that has the Musicmatch application on it. The laptop came with Musicmatch installed. I can?t find the software anywhere on the Dell website. NOTHING has worked. What can I do? All other programs on my laptop are working fine. I have run all the diagnostics that I can think of. I have run and re-run my virus program - I have no viruses. Finally, if you know how I can access Dell Pc Restore, I?m willing to try that. That would restore the pc to the state it was in when Dell shipped it to me. I haven?t been able to find that on this laptop either. Grrrrrr! AND?.to add insult to injury ? that disc I was trying burn yesterday when all of this started? I tired to burn the same disc today using different software. I couldn?t because there were files on it already. When I went to look?.there were all the songs I wanted to burn yesterday ? the same ones that the Musicmatch burner software said couldn?t be burned because of some problem. HUH?? I?m soooooo confused! If you could email me chrystaille@yahoo.com with detailed instructions I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much! -Chrystaille ...

 Over the years Dell worked hard to build up a good international reputation. Question: How could Dell par up with McAfee software provider and sell Dell Computers already installed with the same??? That provides buyers with nothing but problems, frustration...etc. McAfee's Cust.Reps'. number is given as 1-800-269-6990 to be contacted for help. A young male voice rattling away on a disrespectfully high speed speech and provide the information to open web-site: ?Dell.McAfeehelp.com?. Yahoo and Google search engines both responses that name (in diff. variations) ?did not match any documents?. I consider that as an insult from McAfee?s part. I am working regularly with PC since 1985 and associate my platforms with NORTON misc. anti-virus soft wares, updated on yearly basis. Since that time I have had NO PROBLEM with Norton Products. Sad that Dell reputation will slide down with McAfee products. I certainly will not recommend again Dell Computer to any one else again. ...

 Does anyone know where I might be able to get me Dell Inspirion 8500 Notebook repaired? Apparently, my hard drive is dead as the computer will not turn on. After working with the Dell technicians for a few hours it was suggested that I mail the pc back to Dell. I've looked into other sources for repair but apperently no one knows anything about Dell hardware parts. Please help...serious responses needed!!!! Also, any idea what the cost will be? Also, the warranty expired last year. This laptop was just purchased in 2003. Spent nearly 2K for it!!!! Yes, it was suggested that it may be the motherboard. My only issue with paying for it to be replaced is will I have other issues after paying for repair. The pc has absolutely no sign of life. None of the lights are working. ...

 with which Dell is cooperating. As it turns out, the same battery model is used by Apple, Lenovo, and HP. So how big is this really? Dell and Sony traced the problem to a flaw in a particular batch of Li-Ion batteries from Sony, which contained microscopic metal particles. Those particles can, in some circumstances, move from one area of a battery cell to another, causing a short or, in rare cases, a fire, said Rick Clancy, a spokesman for Sony Dell competitors such as HP, and even Sony itself, say their customers are safe, even though their products use the same Sony Li-Ion cells. really read the yahoo news info not just dell how safe is your laptop not just dell 5 computer company?with the burning batteries burning batteries not just dell 1:Dell 2:sony 3:Apple mac 4:Lenovo 5: HP burning laptop batteries is your laptop safe you best call your computer company to check will they tell you your safe? who knows about this not just dell laptop's Apple, Lenovo, and HP.

 I just bought a Dell laptop and turned it on for the first time today. Went through the regular set-up procedure including activating and updating all windows security updates along with installing virus and spyware programs. Problem that I am having is when I go to MSN website, the page is high-jacked and sent to a Dell search page. No matter how many times I try, I can only stay on the MSN site for no more than a couple of seconds before Dell search page takes over. Funny thing is it only seems to happen with MSN, not with yahoo or microsoft site. Also, when I called Dell's support line, they told me that since I didn't purchase their software support service that I would have to pay $90.00 to get a Dell technichian to help me with this problem. Even though I told them that I just bought it and it is brand new computer, and the high-jacker is Dell, it didn't seem to matter with them. I think Dell just puts bugs into computers whose customer doesn't buy their support. ...

 Dell has identified an issue in the BIOS software included in some of their computer models that can cause a false NMI / Parity error indication when certain add-in cards, like the CardDeluxe? and CDX?D8?, are installed in the computer. A fix for this issue is available from Dell, and can be downloaded from their support web site. If you do not have a Dell computer, or if you are not seeing a blue-screen NMI / Parity error message, this does not apply to you. If you do have a Dell computer and you are seeing a blue-screen NMI / Parity error message, please click here to visit Dell's support web site, where you can find the available BIOS updates for affected systems ...
