I think I'll spend the weekend moving several files to their proper folders in preparation for the re-install of the OS hoping this will fix this piece of a shit computer.

I don't know how it is on the rest of the world but here on Hueland Dell sells Alienware too and I giggle at the idea of trying to explain performance for Dee tech support.

By the way, the best part of this ordeal so far was the ticket they sent me rife with grammar mistakes. I almost want to post it here but you guys won't understand it anyway but that's the level of competence we are working with.
