How about an O/S incompatibility or conflict?

   I want Dell to fix the problem in my $1500 machine! Now they are
   saying it is an O/S incompatibility with the onboard sound and I
   should do a PC Restore. Hello? It is still using the system that
   shipped with it. XP SP2. If it's incompatible, then this problem
   existed from the factory.

   A Dell tech wanted to reinstall the multimedia part of xp. When I
   asked why, the Dell tech said there's possible conflict. I asked
   why then Dell shipped out systems with possible -- known --
   conflict.
