In May 2005, I bought a new Dell DIM 2400 from Dell. Included in that particular promo was a 90 day warranty. But, a few days later, even before delivery, I paid extra for what was described as an extended ONE YEAR WARRANTY. IT WAS NOT!! It was a One Year Warranty TOTAL, (including the...

Anyone know how to (completely)remove Norton from new XPS Gen 5. I ordered it specifically with no security software but it came with Norton anyway. Dell support said the drive has to be reformatted(or call their pay helpline(that one blew me away))...Anything easier? Norton's web site's...

See. You are buying new systems. What are you thinking about purchasing, just out of curiosity? "Leythos" wrote in message ... Well, as I said last week, I needed to upgrade several Dell 2400 2.4g Celeron machines...

Someone is selling a Dell Inspiron 4000 with XP Home and 512MB mem.; 20 gb Hard drive, CD/DVD Drive, wireless card and router and a few other goodies. The battery does not hold a charge, so I'd need a new one. How much is this worth?? Any ideas --- ballpark figure. Mel

I received my XPS P4 Generation 5 today. I have not set it up yet, but the system came with the following CD's 1) Purple Operating System Reinstallation CD (enclosed in a MS pretty green card which was marked "For distribution with a new DELL PC only"). The Green card looks just like the green...

Okay folks, so I'm thinking about buying a Latitude D810 because quite frankly they rock :-) However I'm not opposed to the 9300 line of the Inspiron line :-) My question to you all is if there are any rumors of a D820 or Inspiron 9400 coming out anytime soon. Cheers, -gg-

"Leythos" wrote in message ... Well, I did a couple searches and found that the Dimension 2400 that ships with the lowly 2.4ghz Celeron is suppose to support up to 3Ghz P4 at 533 FSB and PC2700 RAM. I...

Win XP Pro, SP2 I recently purchased a UPS which has very good specs and seems to handle small brownouts quite well. However, the software that came with it is bloated, laden with java applets, and I can't get it to work. I will call the company if necessary but I'd rather use some other...

Chaps, I see that on the UK outlet site none the XPS Gen desktops have the sound option listed. Would I be correct in assuming that the audigy ZS is included by default even though not shown on the spec? Many thanks Bal

This DELL XPS where I've been trying to re-load the OP system is a nightmare, no matter what I try it just won't go. I've done everything you good folks advised and its just no good Lastly after what I read on this NG be sure when it comes time to buy a new PC it won't be DELL.

Anyone know what a amber "B" lights indicates. I've looked it up online but don't see anything related to just the B light. The PC runs fine then ths video seems to go out of sync and the system freezes. At that point the "B" light is yellow. Any ideas before I email support? --

Hi, how could i break the master password in the bios? I got a used laptop, but i could not disable the build in mouse pad. Is there any tool for that? Bye Joerg --

I have a pair of the small GX110/733s and they do indeed use the laptop style CD drives. I've replaced both of the ones I have and the last one was $12 shipped (Ebay). Not too shabby for a kids computer. Andy

I've just acquired a Latitude CPx laptop. The cooling fan does not appear to be working. Some screws are missing, so I know somebody has been in it before me, so I opened it up, found the cooling fan properly plugged in. Is this cooling fan supposed to be operating continuously? OR,...

I want to add memory to my new XPS 5 and wonder how close to the specs of the existing memory I have to purchase. I have 1GB made up of two DDR-2 SDRAM (Dual-inline 512KB 667Mhz Made in Germany--can't tell the brand). I have two more slots. I know it has to be populated in pairs but does it have...

I bought a used GX110 in the small desktop chasis. It didn't come with a CD drive so I am trying to cable in a 5.25" drive temporarily just to get XP loaded. The problem I am having is that I can't get the BIOS to recognize this drive. I remember from working on a couple of other GX machines...

I've got a 1901FP monitor (and a Latitude x300). The USB ports on the monitor stopped working (scanner, thumbdrive)...all of a sudden. I don't know what exactly caused it or when it happened because they are all more secondary type of USB devices. I reconnected the devices. I reconnected the...

I have ordered a Dimension 9100 system....seems that two of the packages are out to delivery to some other location in the country....does this happen a lot with Dell? I have emailed Dell about the problem about an hour ago...guess they will get the problem resolved.
