For whatever reason, I get kicked back to a "no items in cart" page after a short while. I've tried to see what causes this, but there's no rhyme or reason that I can see.
When I click "continue shopping" I get a refresh rate warning and it goes to xps desktops (I've been looking at inspiron laptops).
All the settings are at default on the scanner.

When I try to rectify this, I end up with hit frequency warning regardless of my refresh rate.

Is there any way of adapting this for the UK Dell Outlet?

Many thanks

The change to the "no items in cart" page is the scanner automatically refreshing the cart so you do not lose systems you hav efound.

The scanning happens in the background, you do not need to do anything in the main window until you are alerted that you need to type the characters.

I had planned at some point to talk to Dell about whether a UK version would be acceptable to them. I am going to hold off until things settle a bit from the most recent changes they made on the US side.

Thanks man!

The scanner always wants to start maximized. Can that be fixed?

Should it be checking the cart when I have no items in my cart?
It stays on the cart screen, too. It never goes back out to the Outlet screen.

Yes, it automatically goes to the cart screen all the time. You should never see tha page that has the inventory on it. It checks the inventory in the background, you'll never see it.

Yep :) Didn't even realize it... I'll try to code it so that it remembers the current size and opens to that size again.

The program goes between "waiting to refresh" and "Loading inventory webpage" forever and ever and never stops.

I have these settings:
DEll Home, Inspiron, Inspiron 9400/E1705
ALL on most settings, except RAM = 2000 and videocard = 256
Price is 500 to 1300
Start hour: -1 , min: 14, second: 37
refresh rate: 0.8, NEW, REFURB

Regular expression: (T5600|T7200|T7400)

Ths program plays the missblip.wav once every few minutes and loads the page that saids "There are no items in your cart."

Smitts, can you let me know what I done wrong? thankyou.

It sounds like you might be running an older version of the software? You should be taken to the page with the CAPTCHA if a system is found.

Wait....do we need to go through the captcha verification?

EDIT: Gosh, we still need to..so I gotta sit in front of the screen and watch the thing move?

You don't have to watch it, but you do need to be nearby. The scanner will beep when you need to enter the captcha. In the next version, the scanner will automatically bring itself to the foreground when you need to enter the captcha.

I tried running 4.1 this morning, and the status bar showed "WARNING: refresh rate too fast!" a few times. I was not accessing any Dell website via any other browsers at the time. The refresh rate was set to 0.6 seconds. It appeared to "clear up" after a while.

Question - if I change a setting (such as refresh rate) while the scanner is running, does it immediately take effect? Or do I have to stop & re-start the scanner?

Maybe dell has updated their refresh limits... Have to keep an eye on it.

Most of the settings take effect immediately. I believe the regular expression and email fields are the only ones that need to have it stop/restart.

smitts you rule just used your nifty little program and scored a good deal.

I keep getting a message saying "Error: Already Scanning"

I logged off then back on and also restarted the application. Any ideas anyone??

Thanks. :)

Open the scanner, and login on the window in the scanner. When it says Already Scanning, click the X to close the application. Then when you reopen it and login again, it will work.
