    So when you contacted Dell, what did they say?

    Call one of the phone numbers from the MS Support Options page ("Options  Phone Number
    2 incidents and unlimited installation support at no charge. (425) 635-7056* - Paid Support is available for $35 U.S. (800) 936-5700") and let them know you're calling for the patch  mentioned in the Knowledge Base article.  They'll e-mail you a link for a time-limited, (expiring password protected) download for the patch, and waive any fees that would normally be incurred for Assisted Support.  Use the prompts to speak with a representative, rather than going through the "Where did you get your software..." prompts, and you'll eventually get connected to a real person.

    Dell threw me back into the great universal do loop.  I've had the software more than 21 days.  Go back to Microsoft.
