About a week after I received my new Dell Studio 540 I got an error message while ruining the Dell Safe Local backup. It said that I need to run the restore disk that came with my computer. So like a idiot I did. It restore Windows 7 but wiped out everything else I had on my computer. I even tried to restore a previous backup. I did get some of the stuff I had restored but not any of the drivers or software that came with it or I installed. I had to reinstall all my devices again. And other software which I had. None of the dell software that came with my system like McAfee, Office, Roxie and a bunch more including Dells Safe Backup Local. I did reinstalled the on line backup. I called Dells support but he only got back a a couple things. I look for help and there was a post saying I could restore dells software by hitting F8 when after restarting. Which I did. It started but then friezed up. Ever since then I've been trying to endlessly pressing F8 but now my computer ignores it and boots up normally.
How can I get the Dells software that came with my computer?
No this link directs me to register my system, The Register system button does not appear in Chrome so I had launch IE and copy the link to get the button. Then the only downloads it offered was McAfee. So I went to another site and got the My Dell download at [View:]
