Default Laptop Keyboard Hangs

I have a new Dell Vostro 1500. There were numerous freeze ups during the
first week or so. Now only rarely. Most persistant and anoying is while
typing, the letters show up on the page when they feel like it.
I also have a text page window appear when start-up comletes with computer
gobledygook ending in the word shell and a 4 or 5 digit number.
What else? It takes 2 to 4 tries to get dial up on line.
I still haven't been able to navagate Dell's help site.

sugestions welcome

It's under warranty and probably has a hardware problem with that many
freezes. I would call and have it repaired or replaced.

There are an infinite number of ways to tell the same lie. There is only one
way to tell the truth.

Yeah your right.
this is the second new laptop I've had to return. HP the first time. I was
hoping to avoid the hastle. Again. Dells web site insists Im not on line when
I select any option. Like how did I get to the site in the first place ?

thanks Joe
