I have a Dell Latitude CPX with a 650MHz CPU... it's socketed, so is there a chip I could use to replace it and boost the speed, say to 1GHz??? If so, what chip. And would there be a problem with either heating or the powersupply? m9876c at yahoo dot com

Dell is sending me a new Truemobile 2350 wireless router to replace my Truemobile 2300 that stopped working (it wouldn't save settings). I can't find any reviews for the 2350. Anybody care to share their thoughs/experiences re; the 2350? Mike

I've just rec'd my new Dell 8400 and with a 400 gig hard drive I feel the need to do some partitioning to make Backups reasonable. Since so much comes loaded on it, I don't want to start with re-working the whole HD. Is there some feature of XP Pro that will allow me to do this easily without...

Hi All, Can anyone help please? I've got a Dell FP1704FPV flat panel monitor, which can spin round and sit on my desk in Portrait mode, rather than landscape. I've also got a Hercules ATI Prophet 9000 PCI 64MB video card. I'm trying to work out how to get the output to display in portrait mode

I'd like to remove an icon in my system tray, (the Dell Support Icon which comes on at start up). Since I never use it. When I open it up, it says to shut it off, use Add/Remove from the Control Panel. I tried that and get an error. Basically, it won't let me remove it. I'd appreciate any...

Since people don't care for overseas support from Dell I will let you in on some not too well known information. As you probably know businesses revolted big time when Dell decided to move support overseas. So businesses have US based support. Employee purchase plan users also have the same...

I'm getting closer to placing my order for a new Dell. Now I see the 8400 is gone?! Does the 9100 Bios support Raid like the 8400 does? What's the "new" 8400? I see it can't be the 5100 as it does not have the 533Ram? If I order real soon I'm leaning toward the 9100 SB version, "free"...

I recently added a floppy drive to my desktop (Dell Dimension 2400) and would like some advice on how to get rid of the stupid thing. It made an annoying groaning noise every time I rebooted, every time I logged on and off, and every time I opened a file - for no apparent reason - and there was...

I have an Inspiron 9100 and have a question. I looked at the Owner's Manual and cannot find a reference one way or the other. But I can hook up an exterior monitor and assume I can use a USB keyboard on the 9100. Sort of like a docking station is what I am think of. But if I close the lid...

My Dell Latitude CPi PII-400 will not boot if I have a battery installed or charge a batttery after it is running. I've ruled out the battery through substitutions. I'm running XP and have latest bios updates. Any suggestions? TIA, David

A friend's son's 15 month old Dimension 8300 power supply has failed. A slight red herring was that the LED on the motherboard lit up so I suspected maybe the switch was faulty. That took a lot of dismantling to discover it was fine. Connected up a spare 500W standard power supply that I had...

Hi, I did go into CONTROL PANEL, clicked on SOUNDS,etc, trying to find the icon, but received an error message that the Volume Control was not installed . When I need a change in the VOLUME, I can do so through Control Panel, no problemo. But I cannot do it via the icon because there is none! So...

Hello again! This my second try. Please read detail below carefully! Dell Dimension 2400 / Windows XP w/latest upgrades/ No matter what I do, I cannot get the Sound Volume icon into the task bar. I went to Control Panel, then to SOUNDS,(etc) and clicked the line

I just activated my Workstation 360's Wake On LAN feature, and found that I'm no longer prompted for a System Password upon bootup. Is this normal? Any ways around it? Thanks! Notan

I'd like to put some of our D-Bay hard drives directly on the LAN, using one of the NAS boxes that are available. I _think_ I can use a Linksys NSLU2 http://linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=35&scid=43&prid=640 which does NAS for USB drives, plus an external D-Bay...

Somebody may have purchased naming rights from the moribund shell company, made a shell of its former self by Microsoft's rolling in PC Tools stuff into DOS. Never used Registry Mechanic. I do use the freeware EasyCleaner, and it does a good job... Ben Myers On Fri, 01 Jul 2005 22:25:45 -0400,...

HI, It completely disappeared! I got into my "C" drive and looked in DRIVERS, and found AUDIO and looked in every file in AUDIO. NOTHING! Help? I never touch that icon and can't imagine why it disappeared but that's WIN XP for ya!! Thanks! Mike Picture Rocks, AZ PS: DELL 2400 /A05bios /40G...

Just recently got an I6000. Running XP Home. It has the built-in Intel b/g wireless. Whenever I am downloading something and close the top, it shuts the wireless down. I also have an I600M, and this does not happen. I "think" I have some setting to keep the download going, but I can't remember...

When I turn on the computer it powers on. The hard drive seems to be spinning but no signal to the monitor. The motherboard seems to have power because the heat sink on the chip is hot. The fan at the rear of the case doesn't spin but the power supply fan works. The light on the power switch is...

Hello all! Well, if anyone wonders what the elusive TravelLite module looks like...I got mine today. Dell sent it to me free of charge and must have darn near overnighted the thing to me today. http://greyghost.dyndns.org/temp-blog-imgs/d800travellite/
