    Hello to all,

    I have an e1505, which has a clean install of Vista.

    -Dell MediaDirect 3.0 CD was used to prepare the hard disk.
    -Vista was then installed.
    -Dell MediaDirect 3.0 CD was then used within Vista to complete install.

    Everything works perfectly. MediaDirect button functions both in Vista as well as when the system has been shut down.

    Questions:

    What is Dell Media Experience 3.1?

    Is this program no longer applicable in a Vista machine?

    Thanks!

    Media Experience was used with MediaDirect 2.x and Windows XP Pro. Don't know if you need it with MediaDirect 3.x and Vista.
