Windows 7 Upgrade Problems

I enter my information and it says I am eligible. I click continue. Then the box doesn't go away and it doesn't load. I can't click anything except continue. I click continue. The screen says "An error has occured". I called tech support. I called Dell and they said that is a typical problem and that they can't fix it. This happened many times. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it?

I waited one week. On google chrome I get to the "enter your language and 64 or 32 bit" section. On IE I can't even get to that screen. I tried turning off popups. For Google Chrome after I enter the information the screen goes blank. For IE it says "an error occured". I called Dell and they said that is a typical problem and that they can't fix it.

I have a Dell Inspiron 546s purchased September 26th. I would REALLY like to have Windows 7 as soon as possible. Thanks for your help.

    I had the EXACT same problem! I had to call up Dell and they set up the account for me. They made a makeshift password that I changed afterwards.
    I believe it wasn't Technical Support, but more like Customer Care or something like that . Hope this helps!

    How did you get them to not hang up the phone?

    Kyle Hermann,

    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

    They are having some server issues. The problem should be resolved today.

    originalsnuffy,

    Thank you for contacting the Dell Community Forum.  If you're having problems logging in to the update site, I would suggest contacting Dell Customer Care at (800) 624-9897.  They should be able to help you complete the registration process and get signed up for your upgrade.

    No offense, I found out last week that the Dell Customer service line at that number is a JOKE!  Very unhelpful, they keep transferring you until somebody finally hangs up.
