Thank you Ric. I have sent them the request. Keep you fingers crossed.
I am puzzled that the three people in Dell tech support could not help me. I
wonder what I am paying for?
As for the link, I just put in a typo in my message. I knew it was edu not
edi

Again, Thank you
Mary Weatherford

My thanks also. I had wondered how to locate the DME download, just in case
someone actually asks for it.....

I found the Dell forum and I think they have given me the right answer.
Anyway I ordered the correct CD with Dell Media Experience ver 3.0. The
Customer Support kept giving me the CD with ver 2.1 The Tech Support called
to thank me for telling them the right CD part number. I asked if they
didn't check their own Dell Forum Website but got no response.
Anyway here's the forum link
