problem. lowered accellerator 3 notches. solved problem! by lowering the

Right-click on your Desktop and select Properties. Choose Settings, Tab,
Click on Advanced and then choose the Troubleshooting tab. Lowering by two
notched usually resolves the problem. Check on the Dell site to make sure
that you have the latest graphics driver available. If that doesn't clear
the problem, report this to Dell support.
