Error 0701
Ok- First post got deleted-hmm. Guess I should write "I love Dell",100 times to make amends.
Sooo. My first dell. I dropped major $$ on this thing. Right out of the box I start my new laptop, a Dell Studio XPS and get the following error: "Error 0701: USB over current on hc/port..." The thing is, there is nothing plugged into the ports. I can F1 to get to the desktop, but that is not the point. Any Idea's on how to get this error to go away, aside from sending the thing back? Both USB ports do work so, I'm lost.
My other problem is Skype. I'm running a 64 bit vista OS and I would love to have skype-but when I try to install I get an error saying something about 32 bit :emotion-40: I'm a complete idiot about this stuff so, "dummy" terms please! Any and All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Tam

I have Googled that error and if you have nothing plugged in to any USB port and get that error, it is a defeactive port. Call Dell.
