using a domain, but here are a few suggestions:
1. Vista Home Basic cannot join a domain. It cannot cache passwords. If you
have a domain, it would be smarter to upgrade to Vista Business or
Ultimate. However, see the caveat in #2.
2. The program you use to record calls may not be compatible with Vista.
Although this should have been explored *before* you bought a computer
running Vista, you should now contact the program's tech support. They may
have a workaround or a patch or at least know whether their program
supports Vista. They will also know if their program requires a
domain-joined computer.
3. If the necessary call program doesn't support Vista, then you should
return the computer to Dell for one running XP. Do this now while Dell can
still legally sell computers with XP.
