Does Dell have anything similar to ASUS EeeBox PC EB1502? I am on lookout for ASUS EeeBox PC EB1502 but I am currently in a country where ASUS EeeBox PC EB1502 is not available. Do you have anything similar to suggest?

what type dvd drive is in a 9400/E1705 a pata or a sata?

ALERT! Three times in the last two days (through yesterday), I have installed Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 3 (Dell Version) on three different Dell Laptops, with XP Pro stickers, of course. When I click on Windows Update, I get directed to a page that tells me that Windows Update may not work...

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (XP) with a hard drive around 106GB. My hard drive is almost full from video I've added. Is it possible to buy another hard drive and replace the 106GB with a bigger one? Also, is it possible to clone the data on the old hard drive to the new one? I...

Vostro 1500 laptop Can I just pop off the keys? The right-arrow isn't working right, maybe a problem with some Doritos.

Might sound like a dumb question, but. I have two 300gb hard drives. Primary is OS C:\ and Restore E:\, and Secondary is Data D:\ If I do a factory restore from the E:\ partition will it overwrite any files on the secondary HDD

My son's E520, Win7HP (originally Vista, then clean custom installed Win7HP using Win7 Upgrade DVD in Nov. 2010...all legit) , 2GB RAM, had been intermittently going blue screen with memory dumps scrolling down the screen, for about a week. Last night, it was more or less continuous on every...

Aaargh! I hate Dell! My Dell Dim 9200 is inbootable and I need the photos on it. I have XP Media Centre Edition installed on it. I have tried to boot from an external usb hard drive, then a floppy drive connected internally but the Dell system says it can't see my two internal satas! :( I can't...

Hi, I've got a Studio XPS 8100 whose front bezel lights have never worked since I bought the machine in October 2010. When I received the machine, I plugged it in, set it up, and noticed that the hard drive light never came on, but I just put it back in the closet for another time. I bought...

Hello. I am trying to figure out an updated 64-bit Windows 7 HPE (IE8)'s random blue screen crashes' dump files (mini, kernel, and small) with WinDbg v6.12.0002.633 AMD64. I am not a developer/programmer to understand the these technical results, but I would like to see if I can get more...

Internet Explorer? I'm not a fan of MS updates and have never let my computers automatically check for updates, much less automatically install them. Before I tweak Services I probably need to install important updates. I don't use Internet Explorer so if most of these Window 7 security...

My 52 year old eyes would really appreciate it if I were able to make my various email account names in bold type face. I do have the account names in different colors and that helps some but I think a bold typeface would be the ticket :) Anyone? And yes, I am comfortable tweaking the registry.

A little old lady I know has a PC that's about nine years old (it has XP Home). She basically uses it for general Web browsing and occasional word processing. She would like a more modern PC. She doesn't even want a new monitor. She asked me to recommend one. Since I have had good experiences...

OMG How do they expect anyone to get two hands in there, much less a hdd, memory stick or optical drive? :o This is my first "mini" tower. It's just 2" shorter than the 420, other dimension are basically the same. Hdds were a cinch to get in and out. I don't think this is going to be...

What does the battery charging light mean when it flashes red and blue?

Even tho I want a wired connection with my desktop, I ordered my XPS 8300 with a Dell 1520 WLAN so I could connect with the laptop. Today after a reboot (and yes, I've rebooted before this), the system came back up with the wireless connection enabled. Googled how to keep the two connections...

I just had a very nice chat with a tech at Dell and at Microsoft regarding the use of OEM install discs. I was under the impression that as long as the install disc was, for instance, produced by Dell and installed on a Dell machine, it would install with no issues as to validation and...

I see the last post 4 days ago so I was wondering if the news server I'm using is not keeping up. I know at times this newsgroup is not busy but I don't recall 4 days worth? Recently I got rid of Giganews to save some cash and chose eternal-september.org. They've been pretty good so far.

There is a battery charge icon (with the plug-in icon next to it) in the system tray of my new computer. Any reason for this desktop to think it's running on battery power? Right clicking on the icon takes me to the power options page with all the options just like my laptop offers and was set...

Do you guys think that it can FIX my hdd that has been compromised by a 0zx24 stop error. I need for the drive to be fixed just long enough to run a couple programs so I can run their backups. Ubuntu let me recover data but I need to run a couple programs. This is everything I've done to no...
