• Dell Inspiron 1525 wireless network adapter

  Quite all right, I bought my Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I had a problem with it, and a "technician" incompetent deleted (!) Vista and installed XP. Now I finally had the time to reinstall Vista and everything is good, but I don't seem to be able to give life to the wireless network adapter. In fact, the applications and drivers that I downloaded seem even to see the wireless adapter, as if the equipment was not there. I'm really desperate because it's a vital function that I badly need, and my happiness to get finally reinstalled Vista has now turned into frustration, like the wireless was working with XP! Any help, please? I tried to download everything I could find at Dell, but nothing seems to work.

  Do you see an unknown network controller in Device Manager (right click my computer, manage)?  If Yes, what is the DEV and FRI ID for it (right click, properties, details tab, hardware in the menu ID drop-down)?

• Unable to connect to a wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

  I set up a wireless about a week ago and have done with the following security features: WEP, activate only certain MAC address to connect and disabled to broadcast the SSID.  I was able to use it very well with my Mac computer using the airport, but when I tried to connect my roommates, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista computer, it can not connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for a Windows cannot connect to the network and that the wireless link has failed for unknown reasons.  He then said to contact your administrator, but it's me.  I have a basic knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and basically know what I'm going along.  If anyone has any advice for me, my roommate and I'll be very grateful.

  Thank you

  -Jill

  Too bad.  Apparently, I got the wrong MAC address.  I am now connected.

• Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version gets stuck and won't end up task - is to turn it off and restart.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version that was working fine until recently. Now, whenever I try to open a file or use whatever it is, it seems stuck with the ROAR - once an hourglass on the old computer - and nothing happens. The only way I can get out of everything I tried to do is to turn off and restart. Next, I get the message that he has was not shut down normally, etc., and it takes forever to get up. Then the whole again. I really want to this time just download all my files on an external hard drive so I can get a new computer, but it will not let me even copy / paste a single file without getting bogged down. Control Alt Delete even let me get into the Task Manager to stop the programme of work. Please help me.

  Catherine,

  To press Fn and F2, you must have installed Dell QuickSet.

  Did you recently install/reinstall the operating system, have you installed the desktop system software / laptop (as appropriate) and drivers from the chipset first? If this is not the case, the rest of the drivers will not install. How to download and install drivers in the correct order

  Start with the computer system software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.

  Go to the drivers & downloads , enter your service tag, and then select your operating system. Under applications, you can find Dell QuickSet.

• Dell Inspiron 1525 webcam problem.

  I use a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop since 2008 and now the webcam is not working. I noticed that when I turned on the laptop, I get a flashlight blue color on the left side of the webcam, but now I do not understand that the blinking light. I installed the drivers from the dell support center webcam, but still it does not work. I bought this from a GCC country & now I'm in Sri Lanka, so I'm in two minds whether to get this repaired here or no reasoning that I don't know somewhere appropriate here. It'll be a big help, if I get a solution for this online.

• Connection user other Dell Inspiron 1525 problems

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and am unable to reach the Windows desktop. Embedded is Windows Vista, I tried almost all the options through the start screen Safe (F8). I resorted to Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows SystemDiscs.com download - allowed me to access the drive, but not to fix it.  I also tried Windows Defender Offline tool nothing helps.

  In things now, the laptop boots up to the point where 'another user' login screen is displayed, and no password on Earth will allow you.  In addition, no matter how many times F8 is hit, the splash screen does not appear.

  I have managed to copy all personal information off the drive, but I am not prepared to accept that the only solution is to buy a new hard drive.  What about windows
  platform?  What I have to buy a new copy of the said so?  Why not just take the loophole to buy a new laptop? Is there anyone here willing to put their knowledge and experience to the table?  Sorry to her grumpy - any help would be greatly appreciated. Just an honest effort to try is all I ask.  Thank you very much in advance.

  Hi Kestrel316,

  OK, let's take it step by step. First, you must determine if the disc material is good or faulty. To do this, start on your drivers and utilities Dell disk and run the Dell diagnostics.

  To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc:1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive.3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.4. You will be prompted to hit any key to continue booting from the CD/DVD drive.5. You will be prompted to hit 1 to run the Dell diagnostics. You may see two such menus.6. Select Test System.7. Select Custom Test.7. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your hard drive.9. Click Run Tests.10. Write down any error messages.
  

  Second, if you need a replacement. Your Inspiron 1525 requires a laptop SATA hard drive. They are fairly easy to find at any electronics store or online.

  Third, you the disks to reinstall Windows from Dell. You DO NOT need to buy a new copy. Your license provided with the laptop (it is on the bottom). Since you are outside the United States, you must call Dell customer service to order. They'll send you a Vista reinstall drive, as well as a drivers disk.

  If you are using a real MS win dvd during the first part of the installation it can not find a drive or ask a driver, then the driver is obtained from Dell, specific to your model, its likely the driver sata, you need to download to say a USB and then point to this file when the installation application the third-party driver.

• Dell Inspiron 1525 primer not - please help!

  Hello, I hope someone can help me because my computer is no longer under warranty.  Thursday, my Dell Inspiron 1525 (bought in 2008) under the Vista operating system worked perfectly.  No problem at all.  Friday morning, I went to turn on the computer and turn on the 2 blue lights lower-left (the power and one next to it), the computer sounds like he's going to start and then it beeps once and dies.  He will continue to do over and over all a few seconds until I turn the unit off manually.

  I tried the trick out the battery and the power cord, press the power button and then connect the battery and cord, but it still does not work.  The computer will not start up using just the cord (and not the battery) and vice versa.  Anyone have any ideas on what might happen, or how I could solve this problem?

  Thank you in advance for any help you may offer.

  Hey, I have just the same problem and after a lengthy investigation and research, I fix it by deleting the RAM of the laptop, then it works fine.  so try to remove one of the RAM if it still does not remove the other and it will work... (:

• Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista

  Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista.  It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.

  Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware".  There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.

  I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.

  My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad!  So frustrating.  I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post.  Someone help me please!  That's four times now.

  I thought about it!

  Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst.  He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left.  After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click".  _ Yes!

  Thanks for all your help, man.  I really appreciate it.  It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others.  Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

  1. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
