Dear all,
this must be the 5th time i have asked about this. I use a 1210, but everytime i shut down with the battery, it just wouldnt! it would close all apps on the bottom right, then never really log out and just stays with the wallpaper. I do have zonealarm running, i heard its does something......no idea....
Also, i have applied the patch in the earlier posts, that was a nightmare, the system wont enter windows, stops and blanks at the log in screen! had to restore with norton ghost 2003.
thanks x100000000000000

Have you called dell yet. You do have a great 1 year warranty that came with it, I would use it if this is the 5th time you've asked here. Just call the XPS support, they are very good. You wont wait more then 5 minutes before you get a real person. They will give you the best help, and they will get it fixed for you. Either it be fixing that notebook, or giving you a whole new one if its really messed up.

its a program thats becoming inresponsive. Have you reformated/reinstalled from a clean disc that dosnt have all the junk dell includes on their computers?

I'd suggest doing this:
1- Run the full bttery of dell diagnostics (available by pressing F2 (? not sure) during startup) to verify if the problem is in the hardware (this may be a memory problem, unlikely, yet possible)..If it is indeed a hardware issue, Ask dell to fix it
2- If the dell diagnostics does not reveal any problems, a system clean format- partition- reinstall should get you running just fine -
You get to the diognistics partition by pressing Fn and the power button at the same time on all dell machines. Yeah I would still call dell though because they will likley have you do the same thing, excpt there will then be someone there to talk to you and have you do stuff.

Thanks, I will try soon, as I am stuck with essay writing, for now i will just have to use the hardware shut down, whenever it happens...... :>

before you shut down check what is running in the background. One of your programs is locking up and not shutting down -
