I have a Dell XPS-Z 866Mhz Pentium 3, with 384mb and a 20Gig hard drive, which is running a fresh install of Windows XP. For some reason even though I've transferred about 1 gig worth of files back to the drive it is almost full, causing the reminders to keep popping up. Before I re-installed...

Ok I'm tota;lly confused and if anyone has access to dell part numbers i'd appreciate some help please. Just recieved an XPS m 1330 thats in a pretty bad way and needs some plastics replacing. I ordered a OK075 top lid which turned out to be the wrong part as my lcd panel is a traditional CCFL...

Some buds have talked me into Win 7 Pro Edition for the 670 Workstation but realize there may not be drivers available for the integrated SATA controller. Tried a Dell chat session but the rep quickly pasted a pre- sales URL, and then I told her it was already sitting here on the desk. No reply...

This post is merely a vent and a hope that someone from Dell reads this. I just received my 4th Dell computer and including my place of employment and friends and family have been involved in the purchase of 10 other Dell computers, a couple of TVs and a few monitors. Easily over $15,000 of...

I want to add some memory to the i6000 laptop that I just got fixed. It has 512 MB RAM, and the original invoice shows: Dual In-line Memory Module 256, 400, 32X64, 8K, 200, 512 I note that it does not state DDR2. Here's what I've found at Crucial.com:...

When you first install this program and allow it to update itself how large is the initial update? I ask because I tried it and the update was over 45 MEG!!! Is there a way to install it, then MANUALLY update it? I keep MS auto update turned off because I choose what updates I install and...

My friend own a Dell Studio 17 laptop and he want to backup some data. But, USB 2.0 is slow for a back up drive and moving data. His laptop has a dedicated eSata port which moves data at 3.0GB/sec. So, he is looking for a good SSD drive with an eSata enclosure. Any recommendation..

I'm having quite the time finding a key to beep codes for a Studio Desktop. I have a customer having some issues with the video on this machine. It gives one beep followed by a pause and then two quick beeps. Anyone know where I can find those codes? Bob

I watch streaming videos/media on TV. I have connected my laptop to TV through a cable (I guess s-video cable). My TV is old and so is laptop. I am thinking to change TV (42" LED). One store is of the opinion that I must get a new computer with provision for HDMI connection to TV. The other store...

Somebody got a hold of my bank card information and purchased merchandise from Dell India, Bangalore, India. I tried getting a hold of customer service in the US and they couldn't help at all. One rep suggested I call the 1-800-425-8045 India customer service number. I got a sex chat line...

Here's a question. How about upgrading to Windows 7? I would assume the card reader works under the new and "totally awesome" Windows 7. Obviously a dangerous assumption, but IMO it would solve the problems of the buggy MCE. -- http://www.vatican.va

So my cheapskate company buys me a refurb desktop, a "Dell 690", and after a couple months one of the fans starts howling like a vacuum cleaner, and the BIOS reports a card-cage fan failure. Since the PC is "used", there's no warranty, at least not after 30 days, and the Dell parts guy says he'll...

This is a real technical question grin. Where do you guys get your rubber pad replacements for bottom of the dell laptops? Any favorite store or just any Walmart, hardware, etc.. ? Are they self sticking or do I need to use rubber glue?

After some extensive traveling the past week with my laptop I realized last night that the light is on constantly on the CD/DVD drive and the drive will not open. Rebooted several times and removed and replaced the drive also and no change. It also does not show in Device Manager. Have I...

I run NAV2010, but not NIS2010. I was wondering how WinXP's Firewall would work with Nav2010? Is anyone running this combination and could provide some insights? And also, so possible settings for WinXP's Firewall. Thanks for any input! charliec

Dear Mr. Dell This is a threat to file suit against you for harassment and being invovled in a NSA plot to kill me. I don't want any more of your products. You are a *******, and I am fixing to teach you a lesson. The reasons for your calls are reaction time at 7:30 AM. I am going to call you at...

Hello all... (Where is Stew Lewis when you need him? -- and yes, that's a rhetorical question, mostly) There's a cheap Dell Dimension B110 around that's bothering me to purchase it. (Very cheap, since it has no installed hard disk.) I do have something in mind for which it could be used, so it...

Dell is rolling out a ruggedized OptiPlex PC, known as the OptiPlex XE. It has a dust filter ($9 extra) and comes in both desktop and SFF versions. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/11/dell_optiplex_xe/ The interesting thing is that Dell will sell these direct to just about anyone, which is...

Lately have had a lot of m/b's go which I believe contain the battery charging system. Is there any obvious thing (fuse) i should look for to try to make these hang on for awhile. It's a school and the budget has been cut for replacements. -- Tekkie GRIP = Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians
