PCI Slot Retention Bracket Problem
I'm buying a graphics card for my Dell Inspiron 546 MT and I know that I have to remove a retention bracket so I can take off the PCI slot covers.
The only problem is that the screw which holds the retention bracket in is way too tight and I don't want to damage it.
I'm pretty sure that this screw is the same size as the others on the case such as the ones to open the case but the one holding the retention bracket won't budge.
Any ideas?

That screw must be removed. I've seen posts before about screws that were very tight (different models) and one user had to take their PC to a repair shop to get the screw loosened.
The only suggestion I can make is to make sure you have the proper size screwedriver and put some muscle into it.
