Return or Not. Advice sought by
I took delivery Monday of an outlet xps 600.
Its memory went bad early Tuesday. Failed memtest,
and failed Dell memory diagnostics. By Wed it would
not even boot.
New memory (refurbished, whatever that means for memory)
came 15 minutes ago. Booted up fine.
If the machine passes all of Dells...

No boot with joy stick attached by
I have an odd problem with my new xps 600.
If I boot with the Logiteck joy stick plugged into a
USB port, the system hangs after bios, right at it normally
switches to the starting XP screen.

Outsourcing in India... Reverse it. by
Since outsourcing seems to be here to stay, why hasn't Dell just reversed
things...
They could build the systems in India, and have the tech support here? UPS
and Fed EX would be happy. It would take a month to get your system, but
only five minutes to fix it, instead of the other way around.

[Q:]can you turn off auto cd/dvd eject after burn? by
On a Dell XPS 400 with Roxio Creator LE, every time a disc is finished, it
automatically ejects the disc.
This is very annoying when burning a disc and leaving the computer for
hours, because it collects dust while open until I can get back to close it.
I know that Nero has an option to not eject...

[Q:]Question about Defragmenting Data Safe HDs by
I've got the Dell XPS400 with the 500gb data safe drive (2 drives in an
array in one)
1. When I defragment the C drive, does it also defrag the mirrored hard
drive as well? Or, is there something I have to do to defragment it
seperately?
2. Does the D drive (where norton ghost saves its backup)...

control of the songs, but they are still in the same location on my hard

Dell Latitude D820 --- College machine? by
I am about to buy a machine for my daughter who is off
to college.
The D820 seems to be a reasonable fit, not wildly heavy,
but with a 15.4 screen and built in optical drive.
Does anyone have opinions about it?
Also a question: Under ports it lists "1394", which I assume
is a firewire (4pin)...

Question about hard drive partitioning by
I have a 500gb hard drive. Will it operate any more efficiently if I create
a small partition for programs, and a large partition for data? Or, several
partitions for data...?
I figure two seperate hard drives would be better, but if I only have one,
am I better off leaving it as one...

Bad and Good from Dell by
Last week I ordered an XPS 600 via outlet.
After it shipped I ordered two 2405 flat panels to go with it,
and to sync deliveries I paid $47 for 2nd day. When I got the
tracking numbers the monitors had been sent ground. That is the
bad.
The good is that I called Customer Service, and in less...

Dell Dimension L1000R by
Well I tried Dell support, what a bunch of idiots, I'd swear they just cut
and paste a few irrelevant paragraphs and pronounce the problem solved.
Maybe someone here has seen this.
I've got a Dimension L1000R, it wasn't in use so I can't say if what I'm
seeing is new or was always there. I did a...

BSOD's- Inspiron 5100 by
If it hangs at the BIOS screen then it's not an OS problem. Update to the
latest BIOS, then reinstall from a clean drive. Make sure you are using the
correct and latest drives. If the problem continues, note all information on
the BSOD and post that along with the system details.
