  A1: Ask Dell and/or consult the specifications of Dell web/FAQ pages.

  A2: The BIOS is not related to the operating system you have.  Turn off the computer, turn on the computer and immediately start typing F2.

  A3: Eventually--depends on the answer to Q1.

• My laptop Dell Inspiron 5100 has started incompatible.

  My laptop Dell Inspiron 5100 has started an on again off again behavior.  If I stopped and try to restart it (by switch or auto reboot), it does not restart.  I get a metal "beep" of the machine.   If I'm persistent and try several times with the button, it can restart, but not always.  I thought it might be the start / stop switch had become sensitive to heat or was dying, but even when it is completely cold, not connected to an external power supply and since 3 + hours, it will still manifest this strangeness.  Any suggestions?   I am running Windows XP Pro and McAfee on this system.  I realize that it is an older machine, but I really like XP, and want to continue to use this set up if possible.

• Clean Install on old laptop Dell Inspiron 5100

  I received an old Dell 5100 in perfect condition (nine years) and want to perform an installation to a factory State. I have the original disc, but also the additional disk supplied with the computer, the version is XP Home sp1a. There seems to be no recovery partition No. Updates have been continuous and now show installed Sp3.

  My problems are when I started the clean install, he says: I am about to load an earlier version, it's cool, but I'll be able to continue through the updates to sp3 sp1a on my factory drive? I think I read that I may have issues and also issues with the pre-installed Norton AntiVirus again after I read somewhere that this could be a problem as well. I don't find a definitive answer to the question of Norton. Internet Explore on the original disc to factory is also present the update issues?

  I'd greatly appreciate some step by step instructions, if someone could help me.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  There will be no problem goes directly from SP1a SP3 (only a not too install SP2).

  I see you are using a factory restore disc which comes with pre-installed software (Norton).  Just pay attention during installation and if asked if you want to install the decline of additional software to do so.  If you are not presented with an option, then you will have little choice but to accept the process of restoration of factory and when go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall unwanted programs.  DO NOT click on, launch or start all the programs you don't want!  Opening of these trial or bloatware programs can complete or start a stub which initiates the installation of the software.

• Inspiron 5100 - LCD Inverter and BIOS

  Hello

  Is it possible to disable the detection of inverter LCD in Bios Dell Inspiron 5100 A32?  The backlight or inverter is trashed - my computer running only with the possible brightness setting the lowest (if you set higher, the screen will turn completely black until reset is performed).

  I want to make the main display a source external VGA, but the system keeps crashing, or since I unplugged and removed the lock screen - diagnosis gives a FAILURE when it reached the LCD inverter.  I guess that's the problem.  I tried to reconnect the ordinary LCD, but it is still giving me grief (lock up during startup, has not detected the same and external VGA is locked in safe mode).

  
  

• To factory without recovery CD Dell Dimension 5100

  My parents have a Dell Dimension 5100 with Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3.  It works well just very slow because it is clogged with old software and unwanted.  They want to give my grandmother to use, so I need to get done restore to factory settings, it's like a new computer for her.  However, we cannot find the CD that came with it (other than a resource CD).

  Is there a way for this restore without CD?  I have the OEM code, XP product key, Service and Express Service Tag label.

  I need to do this ASAP.  Grandmother's hard drive died yesterday, and already, it's called once today ask when it would be ready LOL.

  Assuming that the hard drive has never been reformatted or replaced, you can reset the PC to the factory image by restarting and quickly by pressing the Ctrl and F11 keys and following the instructions.  EVERYTHING will be deleted including all personal files, so they must be backed up on an external first.

  You must reinstall all updates from MS for XP (hundreds of them) and all your software and personal files after the restore, which could take days, depending on your internet connection speed.

  Keep in mind that XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, and there are a lot of no fixed security problems. Thus, the PC might be infected very quickly if Grandma goes on the internet.

  Maybe you should just buy him an inexpensive Inspiron with Windows 10 which will be much more secure and probably faster than the D5100.

• Dell Inspiron 6000: Wireless driver

  I'm looking for driver wifi for a Dell Inspiron 6000 running Windows 7, 32-bit. It's a Systems Conexant RD02-D110.

  Hello:

  We will have to try some creative things to get these devices to work because your laptop was not designed to run Vista or W7.

  No matter how it is, your laptop will not be able to run Windows Aero because the graphics card does not meet the hardware requirements.

  First the graphics... Download and run this driver.  You will probably get an error not supported operating system.

  All,

  I have this SAME problem.  I just bought my m6 Pavilion three days previously and immediately noticed that the download speed is very slow.  In addition, a lot of things people recommend this site do take into account that the laptops are brand new, the parameters are already factory installation and things are not running in the background whenever we try to download.  And just like the original - poster I have my old laptop awkward, almost dead here and it's the things download 5 times faster than my new laptop.

  Also, I found another post online from a user in HP Pavilion, who bought a new laptop and this is the slow download.

  So taking all this into account, a PERSON LOGIC CAN CONSLUDE THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH the computer PORTABLE PAVILION.  Yes, is there an employee HP mans this site who can lift this problem and come back with the official HP answer to why this problem occurs?  I will definiately go online and noted the low ratings sites flag if I don't get an adequate response.

  Have you thought about asking on a forum of Dell? You can get better answers.

  In the meantime, I would recommend a virus scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware. And if you provide a list of programs on your system, we might be able to give recommendations on what you can safely remove.

  More RAM might help. Go to Crucial.com and run their upgrade analysis tool. Who will tell if they have compatible memory and give you some suggested upgrade configurations.
