I bought an Inspiron 5150 in January 2004, and it came pre installed
with Dell Media Experience software. It was really good - i even bought
the remote control to use it with.
However, my system did not come with a CD backup of Media Experience. I
needed 2 format my machine, and so since then, I havent had the
software. I rang Dell, and she said that there was nothing they could do.
Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone point me to where I can
download it?

Is it not on your Dell-badged 'backup applications' CD (paraphrasing) ?
It is not available (with a quick search) at the Dell Support downloads
site.....
If not check on eBay, there's usually a set of disks floating around you can
pick up cheap.
Download the current patch (R101199.EXE) from the Dell website.

Yes , I'm having the same problems today. Mine just quit working and Dell won't help unless I pay them $69.00. I asked them what the program cost and they said it was discontinued, so I think they took it off my computer???
Let me know if you find anything to replace it.
thanks
