Hi ,I just end a chat with tech support and He told me this"Vista is aligned in a way that it will not support media direct" and I asked if a new release of media direct is on the way ?,he say no.But some say on other forums that dell is working on fix or some like that .So my question is has somebody find a solution for this issue?,and also are dell's vista laptop (inspiron or xps )come now without Media direct? Thank you for you help. inpiron E 1505 Intel core duo 1.83GHZ 80GB HD,2GB RAM,ATI X1400 Vista home premium.
