Hello folks, While setting up a brand-new Latitude E5510 with Win 7 Home Premium, I've run into a nasty problem. I updated Windows, installed applications, and downloaded 21 updates for this service tag from Dell Support. As best I could, I followed their instructions for the update sequence,...

I was just wondering if dell makes their own routers or just badges them? If they only badge them, who is the mfgr. ? I have a dell wireless router about 3 years old (I can't get the model # till tomorrow morning) but it's a wireless b/g model and in use and has worked great so far around my 2...

I have got a Dimension 9100. Now I'm thinking about adding a second SATA hard drive (320 GB). Such a HD will give off extra heat. I wonder if the cooling of the computer can handle that. Thankful for your advice, wederik

I have a Dish 322 receiver that I use in the dual mode. Output 1 is connected to our main 27 inch CRT type TV in the family room. Output 2 is (was) connected to a small 13 inch CRT TV in the kitchen. Both TVs worked very well with an excellent picture. However, recently the 13 incher went...

I just re-installed windows to my dim9200, using the dell cd, but I don't see the lil Intel 'raid' program which checks your sata drives anywhere. Do I have it, maybe somewhere on the cd? Joe.

I need a system that will...

My old Dell laptop has been giving me grief all day, and I was hoping someone could offer some troubleshooting tips. The problem is my mouse pointer will drift across the screen by itself, and sometimes stay stuck in a corner. I am using a PS/2 mouse, and the mouse will just stop working until I...

If so, have you had any problems? There is an issue with early Prescott CPUs but mine is the latest stepping and the latest revision. There has to be an issue with the BIOS or one of the drivers. These are a few of the BSODs I've experienced with both 8400s. None have repeated. I did not log...
