    Yes, one in my sig.
    Has a media button on it, when I push it supposed to bring up media center, but not doing anything.

    Did it ever work? Did it just quit working recently?

    Did you format the HDD with fresh vista? you may have deleted the Dell folder which is where Media is at

    Not sure if it worked in the begining, never did test it out.
    I did do a fresh install with vista, but the Dell Media folder is still there because it's on a seperate partition.
    Well if no one has any ideas guess I can spend couple hours on the phone with tech support.
    That's always fun, maybe they can see about the whine in the earbuds, grainy screen and dead pixel. . . weeeee
