• 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

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

• How to install all the drivers that I need for my dell inspiron 1525 when I can't get on the internet?

  I have a dell inspiron 1525 with windows xp sp 2 on it and I had to wipe and reinstall xp on it b/c I got the BSOD. Now, I can not configure a network connection, or get all the drivers that I need and I can't go on the internet. Is it possible to use another computer to get the drivers I need for this? Do you need a specific driver to even set up a network connection?

  AngelaGraves,

  The drivers you need are on your disk drivers that came with your computer.

  Here's the order of installation of the drivers. How to download and install drivers in the correct order

  If you do not have the drivers disk, you can download the drivers from Dell drivers & downloads, then copy on a USB key or drive and install from there.

• Inspiron 1525 with vista keeps freezing

  I have an inspiron 1525 with Vista installed on it.  If I leave my computer be for about 30 minutes then it freezes.  Today, I've been using Microsoft Word and again once it froze while I was in the middle of a project.  I used a registry cleaner from the Microsoft One Care and the problem still persists.  I am currently in safe mode now and it still froze, but I'll let it be by itself and see if it freezes or not.  I don't know what I have to do.  Is - it there anyway anyone can help me out here and point me in the right direction?

• 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.

• 0x8007001b with Vista Home Premium Center backup and restore backup failure

  I have my Toshiba Satellite M205-S7452 with Vista Home Premium for about 8 months, and November 2007, backup windows, and restore program worked flawlessly. I was able to back up my music, photos and documents to a DVD on a regular basis. But then I started having an error halfway back up that says "drive cannot find the sector requested" with the 0x8007001b error code. It seems that the backup works partially - there are files on the DVD player but I don't know if it ends or not. I tried to do some research on Google and it seems that there is other people affected by this error, but I could not find suggested patches.

  Hi jennielah,

  Please use the Forum of the community for Vista.

  If it has started, use the system restore back to a point before you start. See below for instructions.

  If you can do that I have a work around you. Your specific error seems to relate to update failures, not only the Windows updates but the various failures of update.

  The job is to save it to your hard drive and copy the files on the DVD after the fact.

  I hope this helps.

  Please let us know if we can do something else.

  The System Restore tool

  Other troubleshooting methods, such as using the System File Checker tool, cannot solve the problem. If they do not resolve the problem, and the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time where you have not experienced the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start , type system restore in the Search box, and then click System Restore in the programs list.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue .

  1. In the System Restore dialog box, click choose a different restore point , and then click Next .

  2. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next .

  3. Click Finish .

     The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Here is a link to the system restore, if you would like more information

• Dell Inspiron 1525 Windows Vista - limited network connectivity - nointernet

  Hello

  I am facing problem with my Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium32bit.

  Everything worked well, recently, I deleted a malware windows security databases, after that the display of the network connection is still limited to connectivity, for all types of connections, Ethernet, WiFi, etc. USB tethering. There is no problem with the router. I have hv checked with many links to work.

  I tried following:
  Uninstalling the essential security program
  Turn off turn on network interface.
  netsh Winsock reset & other commands.
  Uninstalling the network drivers.
  remove entries of regedit Winsock.
  Reinstall the drivers.
  SFC /scannon running
  Try the windows diagnostic tool
  Disabling ipv6.

  But after all this the problem persists. In the analysis of sfc logs, CBS.log it displays some error messages such as impossible repair Winsock-core. Looks like the Winsock is corrupt. I tried to uninstall the drivers, removal of winscock entered into regedit and then adding them. Nothing helps. I can't find the Winsock drivers for download.

  Can you please help me how I can fix it. Please note that no internet connection established is working with the system. That's why I need to copy all of the files required through memory external strorage.

  Thank you very much

  Yes, I did the re-installation of Windows Vista using the CD of the OS that came with the computer installed & portable device using the driver CD drivers. Now the network connectivity works great!

  Although I backed up my data it is not necessary that the relocation is not format my drive. He copied old 'windows folder to a windows old folder names"and then all the remaining files, we kept intact.

• Windows update on dell 1521 laptop with vista home premium SP1

  Cannot download any modification, with the exception of windows defender updates. download progress meter shows 0% all the time and it cannot install updates. last updates have been made is 12/08. I have auto update turned off and I do it manually updates. I get an Error 8007000 b, but nothing on your microsoft site helps me with this error message. I use this SUITE for anti-virus, spam, spyware protection and there a fire wall which I tried to turn it off, but it does not matter still can not download updates. Please help, I am running out of options to try. I also checked on installed updates and nothing in this list on computer is required/recommended updates on windows update, when I do the search.

  Hi tdigiannurio,

  Thanks for posting your questions to answers.microsoft.com

  Here is some information that should help you with this error.

  If you receive the 8007000 b error when you try to install Windows Vista updates, the Windows file system transaction log is damaged. The transaction log is used by the Windows file system to recover when a file error occurs. To correct this error of update, you clear the log. Here's how:

  To clear the file system transaction log

  1. Click the Start button. In the Search box, type command prompt, and then, in the list of results, right-click command promptand then click run as administrator. 2. In the command prompt window, type fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\. (This assumes that C: is the drive on which Windows Vista is installed. If Windows is installed on another drive, change the drive accordingly letter.) 3. Restart your computer. 4. Download and install the update again.

  If the problem persists after you follow the steps above, go to the Center of Support Windows Update website to try to find more information about the error code or to request support by e mail.

  Let us know if it helps to address the known issue or if additional assistance is needed.

• Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

  My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

  I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

  I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

  What's wrong?

  I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

  I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

  Thanks for any help.
