Dell inspiron-Vista-debug system (startup mode)?-what is debug mode?

Good so I think I might have a bug or something on my computer. Then when I started it up, I hit the F8 key repeatedly. Then a screen came up with a lot of options for me to choose, and I went in debug mode... When I went in debug mode and it came, my laptop came as usual... Nothing has changed, nothing else jumped up or anything... So what's the point of 'debug mode '? How did you use it?

PS Please do not respond if you'll tell me ways to get rid of all that is on my computer. It's not what I'm looking for. All I want is info on debug mode...

Hello

Debug mode disables some drivers and allows to solve minor problems or major caused by software or recently installed drivers, like Mode safe mode under Windows.
For more information, see this link:

I hope this helps.

  • (Redirected) Dell Inspiron 15-5568 in tablet mode using - how to pull up a Yahoo email message

    I just bought an Inspiron 15-5568.  I put it in tablet mode, and I'm trying to get back an email in my Yahoo Inbox using IE.  I double click on one of the messages of email in my Inbox to pull up.  Instead of pulling up the message, double-click zooms the screen IE.  Another double click the zoom back again. I tried a number of different operations to get back an e-mail message, but nothing works.  I can get a context menu to appear next to a message, but there is no option to read or view the message.  If I was using a mouse, I would double click on the message and it would come.

    I have reviewed the user's guide, but it is not a great help.

    Can someone tell me please how to pull up an email message in Yahoo or Google Mail with an Inspiron 15-5568 in tablet mode?  It seems like it should be very simple, but it isn't.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Dell inspiron Vista no battery not detected

    My laptop has a battery down icon to the right with an X in it.  I can't use the computer without connecting.

    To change the battery, see your user's guide the for more details.  My Toshiba has two sliders on the bottom that release the battery.  Be sure to turn the computer off before removing it.  I don't know that Dell would be more than happy to sell you a new battery, but you could probably find a better price in a local store that sells computers (Micro Center and Fry are good places to look) - just be sure to get one that is compatible with your laptop.  Under the 'normal use' (whatever it is) batteries last usually 2-3 years, but it varies a lot depending on how normal is your use!  I had 4 years of either, but I took out the battery and took place without her much of the time because my use was more often at home.  That could make me Sub-normal.  :-)

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • My laptop Dell Inspiron 7537 doesn't wake mode 'sleep'

    Well, I'm a little frustrated with my new laptop. I was eager and save for a laptop touchscreen super nice with all the bells and whistles. My big questions is, after letting the lid of my computer closed and he goes to sleep, the next day morning when I wake up and open my computer, the computer screen is empty.

    I know that the computer is not "sleep" that my lights on keyboard is turned on. Why the touch screen remains white? I clicked on different keys, touch the touch screen. I even tried to push the power button. Nothing! The ONLY way I am able to do anything to appear on my screen is to make a difficult start by pressing and holding down the power button and start all over again.

    So if anyone can help me, I would be grateful. I shouldn't be penalized for leaving my computer sleep... gee, Dell turn on, please help and I will be happy once more. I want my laptop to come alive! None.

    Thanks in advance.

    As an info, my 'turn to the (recommended) quick start"is clicked, so it must be restarted quickly.

    Close the display cover, and then re-open again

  • I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off.

    I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off when the charger is plugged after about 10 to 15 minutes. If I shine a torch on the screen, I see about the display is always. If I select change user from the menu start or stop / restart the machine, the backlight turns on and will last for another 10 to 15 minutes. I tried in safe mode and the same thing happens. Can someone help me with this problem?

    It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(

  • My 4 year, Dell inspiron 1525 laptop with Vista Home premium preinstalled windows keeps freezing almost as soon as it starts

    about the only way I can do anything, it is to run in SafeMode w / Networking command. When this first happened I thought maybe he had a virus an update of windows at first, so I updated & ran security essentials about 6 times when, which did not find anything, I then tried to install the defenders but could not install said I needed Silverlight installed so I tried to install it but who did not want to install so finally after more than a month of try me several times a day to give me a try. My fiancee and another roommate both said that it had to be a virus. And that one of them fix it since I couldn't.  Then they both tried for a week each so he can not constantly freeze as soon as it would boot up to the windows system screen system restore when I haven't tried had no restore points when I tried this return back.

    And now, it freezes not as quick, but when they did a system restore it says now that I need to reactivate my copy of windows but now here's my new problem when the laptop was sent to a new hard drive that they also gave me a new external case but am not currently able to read my key product code at the top of the bottom of my laptop , And it came with a copy preinstalled and stupid, I didn't find the product key code when I bought the laptop from Best Buys. And they gave me a bundle of discs pack but their was not a code product key on anything.

  • Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows Vista Factory restore problems :(

    Hi, I'm a poster first. My computer knowledge is empowered moderate, so please cut me some slack! I hope someone can help me, I would be very happy.

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer and the operating system Windows Vista 32. I recently tried a factory restore. I wish that I would have looked at this site before I tried.

    I finished the factory restore, but I think that I made a mistake. I have saved all the files except my music files, because I didn't think anything was important. I'm stoopied. Now, when I try to use my computer is a few things wrong with it.

    1 there is no way to connect to or even to recognize a wireless network. I have one in my house who previously worked a lot with my computer. When I use windows to diagnose the problem: "this computer has an adapter installed and configured wireless device." If I click on the button that says "install wireless networking equipment and verify that the correct drivers are loaded. Up is a window "Solve driver problems" which is almost useless.

    2. when I try to run a program, for example already installed windows Mah Jong Titans, on the computer I get this message: "exceleration material is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Good so my video card is not well configured. Now that I look, the resolution looks really different than before. Kind of a blur. I use my computer to run the music production software so I don't know that this is going to work.

    3. I have the DVD of re-installation of the operating system. I also have the CD of resources that contains all of the drivers (or other.) I can't load the drivers, or even knowing which ones I should install.

    I guess that I just want to know what I do to recover my computer at 100%. I hope that my problem is not too broad or too specific, but I hope some feeling there out a pain and can help out me.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    OK, the factory restore (takes 10 minutes) is less work because everything is done and you do not have to load drivers or utilities. In any case, it is easy to do and you have all that on the drivers and utilities CD. There might be a few steps on the CD, but you can download Dell. Once you have reinstalled Windows back post and I'll tell you the order in which to load your drivers. To do this: equip your Windows DVD. Everything that comes close to her. Restart the computer. As soon as you see the Logo Dell press F12. You will see the start page. Select your drive (should already be highlighted) and press ENTER. Press a key, install now, accept licenses, instructions are not always the same for each computer, depends on your configuration. Take your time, follow the instructions carefully. You must delete all data from your hard drive (C :) and the NTFS file system format. Also delete (D :), it's where is the factory restore.) You can post back if you arrive at a page (just stop there and wait for my reply) you don't understand.
