It would be easier to understand your point, if there is one, if you didn't keep reposting old information and links to forums threads. Your use of English and your writing style is so poor that we are all having trouble following what you expect us to do. This newsgroup is not monitored by Dell nor is it associated with Dell in any way. It is a group of unpaid volunteers that are trying to do peer to peer support. I have made suggestions to you. Instead of trying them you ridicule them. You are getting no benefit from being here. You're just wasting bandwidth and driving off volunteers. Remember, unpaid.
