Hi, I am using Windows XP Pro and have not even seen Windows Vista. Right now I have the following: XPS Dimension 700 (about 2 1/2 years old) Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86 GHz 2GB Ram

Bought one of these yesterday (an AverMedia AVerTV Super007) with the intention of using it to transfer old video tapes onto DVD. It's a PCI card, but it's causing me grief. Whenever I put the card in the PC (a Dell Dimension 9100) it freezes the boot process, seemingly before even the BIOS...

Hmm, it seems like this is a motherboard issue and I don't know why (doesn't make any sense). I tried the same problematic Dell keyboard on a decade old laptop/notebook and my older desktop PC (4-5 years old). Both did not show the symptoms with the same bootable medias. I don't know what the...

I deleted my d: drive and lost my recovery image on it. So, I called Dell requesting a recovery disk for my 1330 laptop but he said Dell no more sends recovery disks. He offered to send me Vista and the drivers and said I have to do a fresh installation.

Following instructions from Dell web sight and my own way of reloading a OS, I can't get the past the fact that I get a Yellow Question mark in Device Manager, under Other Devices. No matter what I do, I can not resolve this problem. Computer is a Dell 4600 from 08/2003. Device Manger ...

There was a thread earlier about the XPS430 being 'dead'. Was just in the outlet and noticed that in the outlet, Dell calls the Studio XPS (the i7 based machine) the XPS435. Interesting.
