I ordered an D-E520 Itel duelcore in june... specifically ask for a sound card to do karaoke which had 'play what you hear' to sing and play music at say time... I just got moved in a new home and fired up the machine and it's got an intigrated generic card in it with no functions and the media player when playing a song stops/glitches out at the end of each song.

I'v downloaded reinstalled drivers but no good... now dell can't do a diognosis due to me being on dialup and wont fix it eventhough i bought the 3yr protection/antiV and all... They want me to upgrade the card, but their website has only one $99 card thats compatable with my vista machine and it has no specs shown...

my 5th dell... my last

You are right Steph.

I have got my Inspiron Pre installed with Vista, when I downgraded to Xp, creative soundblaster software is not working.

The give CD is only compatible with Vista only.

AIR CARD for XPS M1210

When I bought my Dell directly from the company in June '07 I explained to the representative that I wanted everything available on my computer, to be able to travel easily with it, and most of all that I wanted to use an air card to get online when traveling and parked in a spot that has no wireless available.

So far, I've been unable to find an air card that fits into the 'slot' or that will work in my rural area like my cell phone does. I don't want to put an aircard into the USB port, and already have ONE air card, but it won't fit into my new computer. I ordered the computer so I would have it to use on vacation, ....... took it along, but without an air card.

Does anyone KNOW for certain of an air card (so that the computer dials up like a cell phone without finding a hot spot) that will fit into the odd-shaped smaller slot on my new XPS M1210 w/Vista?

I know that Dell tells me a few of the larger wireless companies have it, but when I go into their stores, they don't know what I'm talking about.

What would be nice would be if there were an 'adapter' to let me use the air card I have now on my new Dell.

Thanks to any responses.

Why is everyone so anxious to switch to Vista? The fact is that Vista is not a stable operating environment at the present time. It is larger, slower, and less capable than XP. Furthermore, there are a large number of technical issues that won't be solved even with the release of the first service pack. Before you switch to Vista, read the reviews written by those who have used Vista for a prolonged period. My husband who is a software engineer has had a great deal of fun solving the problems caused by Vista on both home and office machines. Newest isn't always best, so think twice and take the time to read reviews. Particularly before you mess up your computer with Vista and ask a friend or family member who is a computer professional to do you a favor and "fix" it.

I applaud Dell for continuing to sell PC's with XP as an operating system. It is one of the main reasons we encourage friends and business contacts to buy Dells at the present time.

Heck, after reading all the problems with Vista upgrades not being sent to people on time, and then when the people get the Vista OS they have problems with the sound drivers from Creative, I'm not sure I want the problems that go along with "upgrading" to Vista. No Creative I am not going to buy a MP-3 from you. No Dell I will buy a different brand computer next year. No Vista, I keeping Windows-XP!

I'm having issues with using the creative options on DELL XPS 400 after an upgrade to Vista. I keep getting Error - Error loading CTMBHA.DLL Invalid access to memory location. Are there driver updates?

I purchased a top end £3000 system back in February...it is now June and I do not have my copy of Vista that I had the option of receiving an "express upgrade" for. I phoned Dell two weeks ago and was categorically promised that I would receive a shipping notification within a week.....no shipping notification - what a joke this company is.....I have purhcased 3 computers from Dell now and certainly won't get another.
