• Vista Home Basic Edition does install in a dell inspiron 1440.

  I bought a laptop that did not come with an operating system because I happened to have a Vista Home Basic installation disc that came with my previous laptop. so I tried to install the operating system, but after that the display shows "windows is loading files...". "this message appears:

  Windows has encountered an error... file cannot be found or corrupted.

  file: windows/system32/boot/winload.exe

  error code: 0-xC0000001

  What does that mean? I tried twice to reinsert the disc and redo everything but shows same message. is there something wrong with the installation disc? Should what I do to fix this? Thank youi so much.

  Recovery of the computer disks are often related to the hardware of the computer that they came with.

  Also, you have rules of licensing:

  If Vista is preinstalled on your other laptop, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

  The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
  You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

• Dell Inspiron 1501 on Windows 8 resolution problems

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 and recently installed windows 8 pro on it. Before installing, I had a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800 under vista and now my only option of resolution is 1024 x 768. I do a lot of photo editing and such on my laptop and the screen resolution that makes it nearly impossible when scaling and resizing of images. I tried the update of drivers and have even installed the old driver for my graphics card as well as you try to run the Catalyst Control Center, the compatibility mode, and nothing has worked. It is said that the chain of the card I use now is the graphics card of Microsoft. I was wondering if it is possible to get my resolution up to 1280 x 800.

  My graphics card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150.

  Your machine was last supported for Vista 32 bit. If you want the best performance, you will need to return the Vista machine.

  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.

• 5 GHz Dell Inspiron 1501

  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
