We are having the same exact issue. We have an Inspiron 8600 and have just spent the last hour with DELL SUPPORT. DELL's solution is to "back-up all of your files, re-format your hard-drive, reinstall the operation system and reinstall all of your software.
Good grief..sounds like a little bit of overkill to me. There must be a better way to do this. Does any one have any better solution?
I also have had docking problems, and I DID reload everything from the ground up. It didn't help. Then a few days later they magically stopped. That was maybe three months ago.
Two days ago they started again. I reinstalled Windows and it hasn't helped. Argh. I think something is going on with the Dock>Laptop connection or the dock itself that is causing this.

No problems at ALL when it is not on the dock.
