[access-uk] Re: Del Software

What's the best way to disable that thing then, Tris. I get sick of it crashing ...
It's the only problem I really have with my DELL, apart from the fact that I still haven't got to the bottom of why the Eset Smart Security doesn't update automatically, as is the case with the other two computers in the house.

I disabled a Dell Support Centre from starting on a Dell machine
yesterday without incident if that is of any help.  I agree with
George and Steve though that a certain degree of circumspection
should be applied to something that decribes itself as a "Driver
Reset Tool".

Like others I can only sympathise with the dilemma that all this extra
stuff places the user in.  With a Sony machine of mine I took a far
more extreme (and a little costly) position of removing the Windows
it came with and getting a OEM of the same.  However you do not
escape scott free because you then find some things don't work and
that special DVD viewing software or whatever licensed specifically
to the laptop is not available for download but only through the
recovery CD.  However in my case once the essential drivers were
reinstalled the equation seemed to balance in favour of the new
windows and lighter install.

Dell in the USA had an option where you could pay a little more and
get a PC without the bloatware.  I haven't brought anything from Dell
recently, perhaps they don't do that here.
