I have this old Dell Dimension 2400 desktop with a printer. The cable modem and router is also connected to it. Anyway, it continues to work great. It forms the base of a network (I have 2 laptops). I have had the desktop system for probably 10 years and an APC UPS connected to it for maybe 8...

Haven't seen any posts here since 4/10/2012. The last one was "Precision Mobile Coupons???". Coming through google groups shows same (in)activity.

Anyone know of any decent discount coupons for the Inspiron 2320? Thanks! -- Uncal Bob

I disabled a web cam in a Latitude 6400 and got a 7% benchmark speedup (CPU and RAM benchmark) (In XP, go to system/hardware/drivers find the webcam and select do not use this device, which you can do without changing the driver or anything) --

"From the crest of Olivet, Jesus looked upon Jerusalem. Fair and peaceful was the scene spread out before Him. It was the season of the Passover, and from all lands the children of Jacob had gathered there to celebrate the great national festival. In the midst of gardens and vineyards, and...

I had an Inspiron, which allowed a BIOS setting for powering up machine on a given schedule. Now I got a Vostro 3750 which will not allow this. Is there any other way to power on the machine automatically? All help appreciated.

I am still happy with my Dimension 9150. I use it several hours daily. It has never let me down since I got it about 3 years ago. But the fan and harddrives are getting a bit noisy. Therefore I was pleased that it was totally quiet in standby mode. Until I upgraded ram today. Now fan and drives...

Thanks again to everyone who has responded in this thread. I appreciate your collective wisdom. Here's an update so far. As I was getting ready to install the new drive, I heard the grinding noise from the PC again. With the cover off the case I could tell immediately that it wasn't the old...

I have been looking for a decent coupon for the M6600 for over two months. Does Dell ever give a reasonable discount on these machines? They had a big one on the M4600, so that gave me hope. -- Andrew Hall

I have a Vostro 400 running WinXP SP2 with a Seagate HD that I think is failing (weird buzzing, grinding noises). I'd like to put in a new Western Digital drive and then copy everything over (OS and all data). I have read there can be potential problems doing this, having to do with the hidden...

Hi - I have a mystery. Every night, I put my system into hibernation by pressing the power buttom (with a Dell XPS 8400 running XP pro). In the morning, the computer is on. It happens every night for about 2 weeks now. I started thinking perhaps I was sleepwalking, but no, the tape I placed...

I just purchased a laptop from Dell Financial services. This is the first time I've bought a refurb from Dell. (I needed a laptop with the old PC Card slot for a customer.) I'm a little disappointed that it immediately reports the battery is charging but nearing the end of it's useful life...

The Intel software seems to be unable to hold a wireless connection, the problem being that when it loses a connection at random it doesn't try to reconnect, but instead waits for manual intervention (disable and reenable the wireless connection, usually does it). There's no such problem with...

I've just bought a new XPS laptop and one of the desktop icons is for MySyncUp Files. I understand this is to do with Nero and although I've downloaded the Manual am no wiser as to what it does. Deleting the icon is to no avail as it just comes back. Do I need the program? TB

just picked up a sc430 server and was wondering how to install xp pro. It has an adaptec 39320A scsi controller (channel A & B), ultra ATA star controller, Intel ICH7R sata controller, and 2 scsi 80 gig scuzzy drives. So how would/could I do this? I called microsoft to see if they still sell 2003...

What forum/website would you suggest to submit Hijack This logs? Thanks, Monica

My XPS 15 laptop can only connect to my router when the network is unhidden. I prefer to keep it hidden for security purposes. Is there a workaround this please? Tony

I've just bought an XPS15 laptop & am trying to download the recommended updates however the Dell Download Manager server is always unavailable. Any ideas please? Tony

in case anyone's interested :) I've been exhaustively studying sales these past two days, it's mind boggling. There is a $100 Visa GC that seems to come with that model. So end price would be $350.

Just for the heck of it, I looked around for upgrade memory. I bought this with 2GB in late 2007. http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Dell-memory/Vostro+Notebooks/Vostro+1500-upgrades.html Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 (non-ECC) ....shows that 4GB is about $70. Generic elsewhere was...
