Mall-Mart And Dell Sold defective computer and operating system Shelton Washington

On June 4,2008, I was sold a Dell computer, service tag # 8kcv4g1 with a Vista operating system installed. Within a few days it malfunctioned and I was told to contact Dell support. After several calls to foreign speaking technicians I was able to resolve the problem. Within a few days the problem re-occurred and after many phone calls I was told by a Dell expert technician I should let him remove the Vista program and install the older Microsoft X P Operating system, a system I understand will shortly be abandoned by Microsoft. I did not accept this ridiculous cure and requested a return authorization from Wall-Mart or Dell.

I was told by Wall-Mart that since the 15 day return policy had expired I would have to deal with Dell direct. Upon contacting Dell I was told since I purchased it from Wall-Mart I would have to deal through them.

When I purchased this product I also purchased a $98.88 extended service plan which has been proved to be of no use to me. I continue having various problems with this product to the extent I had to use a different computer to even file this report.

At the present time neither company has offered any help resolving my problem other than continuous temporary fixes to a totally defunct operating system called Microsoft Vista.
