Boy am I confused. Hi, I saw the MS yellow shield which indicated an MS download is awaiting. I clicked on it and a large gray dialog box asked if I wish to download DELL graphics drivers. I clicked YES and waited a second or two and then received a dialog box that advised the downloads could NOT...

Hello. I am trying to install Windows XP cleanly onto an used Dell Inspiron Mini (no idea what model it is; do not have its boxes, manuals, discs, etc.), but its installation keeps failing at cdrom0\i386\asms. The error said it cannot find it, but it is there on the CDs (tried slipstreamed SP2...

Ok, the display specifications on the dell website irritate me a little. The specifications for the vostro displays does not show the brightness and contrast rations between the WXGA and the WXGA w/ true life. The WXGA (no true life) is an anti-glare screen with the same viewing angles. So all...

Suz: Go RAID 5 and SCSI and you will not have the artificial barriers of IDE hard disk controllers. Plus you a very reliable and very fast disk sub-system. Dave "Suzeann Loomis" wrote in message

Haven't seen this mentioned on the newsgroup already, so I thought I'd pass it along. It seems that one of last week's Windows Update patches from Microsoft (specifically, KB908531) "doesn't play well" with some HP software products. In particular, "Share-To-Web" and several...

I purchased a laptop and opted to inlcude MS Office 2003 with the purchase. Installed it on the laptop, then bought a desktop and decided I would rather put MS Office on the desktop and run something else on my laptop. So I removed it from the laptop and installed it on the desktop, but MS refused...

Looking to slowly change from Windows to Linux. There seems to be many Linux distributions, anyone here have a favorite? I am mostly a writer. Word processing and spreadsheets are my two main uses. Email and web browsing also, of course. I do create and read pdf files and some graphics...

I have almost the exact opposite problem. So long I had the printer hooked up to the 98SE computer, I could print off of either computer via the network. When I switched it over the weekend to the XP computer, the 98SE would not print to it although it knew it was out there on the network. I can...

Hello, I am new to this newsgroup, but I figured I would post this letter which I just sent to Dell. I am under no illusions that it will do anything, but it sure made me feel better writing it!

All this...over a microphone? I'm afraid to think about what you'll do when you have a really serious problem on your hands. (But I'm sure we'll hear about it.) Ted Zieglar "Class_Action" wrote in message ... Dell's...

I'm a recent convert to a Laptop (Dell Inspiron 5100). I worry about what will happen if it gets lost or stolen as I move it between home and work. I back up to my desktop computer regularly and use Ashampoo Power Encrypt to encrypt my data on the Laptop (on partition D) to hide it from prying...

Hi Stew, Just a quick question regarding difficulty with cloning partitions using Ghost 9/10. Was your Win XP OS a non C: drive? Brian

I have been looking at the Dell refurb site, which I understand is a good way to find a decent box at a reasonable price. I notice that a lot of the Dimension boxes are listed as mini-tower - I don't see anything on the Dell web site that describes that versus a "regular" tower - if that exists. ...
