Enabling Computrace
1. Turn on (or restart) your computer.
2. When the DELL logo appears, press <F12> immediately.

continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop;
then, shut down your computer and try again.
3. Select Security tab and then select Computrace(R).
4. Select Activate to enable or Deactivate to disable the Computrace
option.
NOTE: Once you enable or disable the Computrace option in the
