Re: %$#@&*^&% Dell Computers
Bought a dell mini with Windows 7 starter for automotive interfacing only. I run Tunerstudio and VAG-com which are reputably developed. The laptop was fine for a month and then began to access the hard drive constantly. Installed antivirus and no virus found, no malware either. All windows updates done and stripped down startup and still overcome by disc activity and really slow. Splurged and bought increased memory to try to salvage my initial purchase as the only two programs I cared about k. The machine would not run without operational pauses rendering them useless. Now dies not see boot drive on start up and refuses to work. Maybe 200hrs of use. Never buying Dell again. Ever. Have a 6yr old IBM that runs like a clock and use a Seagate removable hard drive to back up photos etc every month.
