    I've been having a couple issues with the M1330 since the other day mainly with media direct and the wi-fi catcher not working. Maybe someone here could help me out.

    The first issue is the media direct button won't launch the program when I press it. Dell quick set is active but there is still no response. I can launch it from within windows but other than that, the button does not work ad I have no idea how to fix it. I've tried going into msconfig and services nd seeing if it was disabled but it shows as active.

    The next issue is with the wi-fi catcher which just stopped picking up my internet right after I start the computer up or restart it. I have to manually go in and start the wireless connection but when the computer starts up it gives me this message:

    Your wi-fi catcher band configuration is not compatile with your WLAN card configuration.

    Select yes to automatically change your wi-fi catcher band configuratio or no to keep your current band confguration.

    selecting yes or no does not do anything and I am having a headache trying to figure out what it is and am considerign just doing a clean install of vista and the dell drivers but im afriad of screwing anything up.

    Any idea on something that can help me out?
