Hello

Method 1:
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either. Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

Can I install XP on my laptop dell inspiron 1501 though came with Vista Home Basic?
I have a computer laptop inspiron 1501 and it came with Vista Home Basic. I like better XP and wondering if I have an installation on my computer, I have an XP installation disc. If I can, how to do it all?
Hello
You will be able to install Windows Xp on your computer, but you will need to perform a clean installation.
Before installing Windows XP. And also, you will have to take up the data in your computer, because the new facility will remove all data into the computer.
Download the driver from the support of dell at the following link:
I would also like to inform you that there is now the operating system disks or support is available for Windows XP.
For reference, see the following Microsoft.

In the last 2 days I had a problem as indicated in the title of this post. The fault corrected itself 3 times, but still, it's back to "plugged in, not load.» I use the laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium; 32-bit) on the card without problem, I assume that the card itself is not defective.
I also have a Dell Inspiron 630 M laptop running Windows 7. Can I use this card with the laptop of Vista, without causing damage to the Vista? If it is safe to do so, and begins to charge the battery on Vista, this would indicate that the Vista adapter/charger has a kind of fault.
Hoping someone can give me some advice. Thank you.
Could be - or it could be the power supply. See if the other card gives a link more solid. If so, this is the plug of the adapter. If it isn't, the decision-making within the system.

Dell Inspiron 17R laptop computer stand
Help! I have trouble finding a laptop computer support who will properly hold my Dell Inspiron 17R, especially at the front. Recommendations, please? I would be * extremely * grateful.
There are different types of laptop stands. As you can see on this Ebay page.
I looked for cooling stands for a portable 18 inches. They have a fan that helps keep the laptop cooler. I think it's closer to what you are looking for. If you do not want the fan on you don't have to plug.

I bought a laptop Dell with Windows 8 pre installed language. There is no sticker on the laptop product key, so I don't have access to the product key. Does anyone know where to find the product key, I want to do a clean install and get rid of all the crapware? and how do I download Windows 8 single language?
With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.
If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.
How to reinstall Windows 8 on your Dell computer.
If you want to reinstall Windows 8, which means remove applications and personal files and settings, you can use the reset and refresh. This is equivalent to a clean install.
To do this, follow these steps:
· Press the Windows key + i on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)
· Click settings
· Click change PC settings
· Click general in the left column
· In virtue remove all and reinstall Windows, click Start
Then follow instructions that will be provided on the screen to reinstall Windows on your PC.

Send faxes of Dell Inspiron 15R laptop computer running Windows 8
This laptop is not equipped with a modem. Which modem would you recommend for me to send and receive faxes with Windows 8 operating system? I have a dedicated line for faxes that I used with my previous desktop and internal modem conexant.
Thank you. Grandon
Hi Grandon,
Yes, I fear that internal modems have gone the way of the floppy. What you need is an external fax modem that plugs into a USB port. I have no experience with those so I can't guarantee their reliability. An alternative would be a MFP with fax service.

Well, I mean about 6 months or if there is, we encountered a small problem with our laptop RAM and had it fixed by a professional. Since our RAM and CPU speed increased a little, however our keyboard seems to be on the fritz.
I can't really explain or take screenshots of it in the law, but I will try my best. It seems that whenever I try to play a game, my keyboard gives to think I'm pressing '=' to an interval of 2 seconds. Recently, my sister tried to play "The Sims 2" on our PC and this problem appeared to cancel out all the actions that she wanted to make the game, as the selection of an object for the character to use, IE if she wanted to choose a furnace for a character to use, she would select it and have the small action menu pop up , but before she could select an action, the action menu would disappear. When I try to play a game, as "Half Life 2", I often change keys in order to adapt to my style of play, but when I try to change a key related, automatically "supports" the '=' button until I can manually select the key I want to bind to this control.
I have never experienced this problem before we had our computer fixed and this problem seems to have no effect on typing programs such as Microsoft Word or Notepad or even this dialog, it doesn't seem to pop up in games so far, as far as I know, that he might happen while I'm typing this. It's just a minor annoyance, but it's a mystery that I can't solve. Any help or other questions that I can answer on the problem will be warmly welcomed. Thank you!
Hello
Looks like the other repair keyboard problem and it looks like not material. No doubt
better to take this back to the place which sets memory.Control Panel - keyboard - look for a reset to the default values or other settings to fix the problem.
I wonder if the sensitivity of the TouchPad could be a problem?

My Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop can only support 2.4 Ghz.
Is it possible to upgrade the hardware so I can support 5 GHz or with a computer laptop, can't I?
P.S. referring to a Wi - Fi connection
If it is possible any ideas where I can buy a Wireless N card for my Dell Inspiron 1501 for a person living in the United Kingdom?
Hello
As far as I know, this laptop has only 1 antenna. And so there is no need to upgrade most other than the original 802.11 g.
In additional, there are small speed increase even if for some new laptops using 802.11n. 1501 is 5 years old.
Better to save the money for a new system in the future.
Thank you
