    Hi guys I feel like an idiot here but is it just me or is the download from dells site just not working at all? I can't get to download anything... every time it downloads a manager that claims my basket/ queue is empty no matter how much stuff i put in there... help?

    :) thanks

    It works - the easiest way to download is to grab them via HTTP and not the download manager. If you find you do not have this option, clear your browser's cookies, exit and then re-visit the support page. From there you will be prompted to use the download manager or download via HTTP/FTP - select that option. A cookie will be saved to preserve your choice. ;)
