I heard only good things about Dell until I bought one and now I am reading
all this stuff . Double whammy, I have Dell with Vista. I am having
trouble downloading mail. I have Road Runner and never a problem until now.
I have to go to the web and delete messages or I sometimes get them 3 to 5
times or I get a server error and no messages. There are days when it just
downloads smooth as silk. Does anyone know why?
