Thought you'd like to hear that I finally got a resolution with my Dell problems. After the hardware technician installed the new video card and 2 memory sticks, I continued to have the blue screen. A support technician actually called me at 5:00 P.M. and asked if the problem was taken care of. I told him I was still getting the blue screen, so he told me that since he had the next two days off, he would call me on Saturday and we would try yet another Windows XP reinstallation. I never left the house and waited all day and evening for the return call, but never got it. I forgot to mention that on Friday I sent a letter to Michael Dell, CEO, and Paul Bell, VP at Dell. Since Wednesday I hadn't been able to get on to the internet for more than a few minutes before the blue screen would shut me off. On Sunday afternoon I tried getting on the internet just long enough to reply to the last e-mail that the tech had sent me on Wednesday. I managed to write to him and tell him about the letters I sent, and I told him the next phone call would be to the Better Business Bureau. A little while later I got a phone call from him. He wanted to do the Windows XP reinstallation, and I told him I was done doing any of that - I told him I wanted a new computer and again mentioned the letters and BBB. I told him that I had taken notes of all the 15 phone calls over the last 17 days to Dell support, all the hardware installations, and all of it was sent to Mike Dell. He put me on hold for about 5 minutes and then verified that I would be getting a new computer in 7-10 business days. Now I'm curious to see if I get any response from Mr. Dell or Mr. Bell. Yesterday we hooked up the new HP with Vista, but I haven't had much of a chance to see what it's all about yet. Still trying to catch up with all the e-mail! Thanks to everyone who helped with this problem - I'm sure you will be hearing more from me when I have problems with Vista!
