    ROLLYPOLLEY [Hey great name]
    While others in the forum have a little more tech knowledge,and
    most likley will tell you to reset D.M.R or something. I would try
    doing a system restore back a few weeks when it was working
    well. I have a dell too,and know that when you try and get tech
    help it takes forever. So give it a try. Also I am sure those in the
    forum with more tech knowledge will give you some other good
    advice.
    Good Luck ZAP.
