That app note made it work without complaint. Thank you again!

Of course almost all the Dell installation items required a reboot and
Windows of course required it - I counted 27 reboots not counting those from
when I did updates to other stuff like Adobe Acrobat. Re-installing a
machine's software is definitely a pain in the neck!

You wouldn't know the secret code to keep it from re-enabling the langauge
toolbar on each reboot would you?
