Just got my new machine up and running. Lots of questions.
I've been running 98se for several years and finally had everything as stable enough to be happy. Then wouldn't you know it my dinosaur motherboard took a dump. Short story long, I bought a Dell package with all the newest (ha!) stuff.
Come to find out Dell's OS (XP Home) package is an early version with MANY known bugs. (That's BS!). From what I can find on the net sites MS has a service pack that should take care of some of the problems. So much for Dell Tech support.
I live in the sticks and my dailup connect moves at about 3Kbp. The MS site says SP1 is 30MB. You do the math.........
I'm reading several posts here that aren't that positive about SP1.
1. If this IS a fix, I'll try it. Any Comments?
2. Anyone know about another Service Pack coming out soon?
3. Any useful comments about Dell Tech Support?
4. More specific, does the advice about reloading sound driver really fix an DEVLDR error?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Bob Doggg
