• How to fix Dell Optiplex 380 at HP, the one I use

  Dell Optiplex 380 was in excellent condition until I upgraded to Windows 10 the week before I moved. Four months later when I had internet, didn't know I needed to upgrade my security programs and acquired a brutal situation of malware, downloaded ten tons of scrap and resulted in blocking of the Dell printer off of the internet.  I have used the Hewlett-Packard, that is running Windows 7, real did well, learned a lot, but have failed to get internet Dell operable. He won't start mode safe mode with networking, reset setting manufacturers, restore previous state or I would remove programs without internet.

  I want to know if it is possible to connect the Dell (10 Windows) at HP (Windows 7) so that I can run scans on the Dell of the HP. Dell opens and is usable in a limited framework. How can I have two computers on a single monitor?  a mouse and a keyboard on two computers? Can I run things security, Norton, SpyHunter, RegHunter from one computer to another?  I really want to buy discs that I can run these programs on up to five computers and it seems pointless to need to buy records.

  I want to exhaust all my possibilities of learning before I break and bring it to a repair guy. I'm on the SSD and have little income, but I get to learn what it might take. Please notify

• Driver network Dell Optiplex 380

  I'm a computer technician rebuild a customers 64-bit Windows 7 Optiplex 380 who suffered with the Cryptolocker Trojan horse if you need a reformat.  Built in recovery partition won't work, so I installed a new copy of Windows 7 64-bit, but device manager tells me there is no installed ethernet adapter.  I have been as usual in these cases, on the Support / downloads site using the tag number and downloaded what seems to be the good pilot, Broadcom 57XX Gigabit Controller, v.16.4.0, A07 and Broadcom 57XX 64 bit update driver/BINS, R296615, combined package but will be installed.  I get a message telling me that it is not supported.  It was working perfectly before the reformat...!

  Any ideas please.

• Maximum memory for Optiplex 380

  Specifications for maximum memory in the Optiplex 380 are quite confusing. Pdf manual indicates the maximum memory is 4 GB - 4 GB module in a slot or two 2 GB modules in two locations. But I read in other places that the maximum is 8 GB - two 4 GB modules in both slots.

  On another thread here, someone asked max on the Minitour Optiplex 380 memory and told me that the max memory is 8 mg. But see here that the max is given as 4 GB:
  http://www.pcrush.com/product/desktop-computers/632935/Dell-OptiPlex-380-desktop-computer-Intel-Core-2-Duo-E7500-dual-core-2.93-GHz-Mini-Tower

  I also is not the case of the minitour and don't know if that makes a difference. I believe that what I have is called the small form factor. I'd really, really like to upgrade memory, but don't want to spend money on a memory module, I can not use.

  Edit: Here are the other features of my computer:

• View the issue with a DVI-I got splitter to Dell Optiplex to adapt TV

  Good evening!

  I work in IT and my understanding of these things is superior to what a novice and a part of the reasons why this question is so frustrating. It should also be noted that I am also posting this in Dell support forums to cover all the bases.
  Here is my goal:
  To use my model of TV LED Panasonic TC-L47e5 as my primary and only monitor for a Dell Optiplex 745
  My configuration:
  Dell uses a DVI-I've got splitter (DVI & VGA) as she went out to monitoring devices. I use a DVI (male) to HDMI (female) to connect on one of my HDMI inputs on the TV.
  The problem:
  Until I'm the adapter to the DVI, I used the VGA with no issues whatsoever. However, once I plugged the DVI - HDMI setting, it was working fine until I unplugged the VGA it is connected to the connector on the back of the TV. The screen went black, even though it was on the HDMI input. I tried to update the drivers, configuration of the display settings, etc and nothing allows me to run the installation of DVI-HDMI without going through the connected VGA also. If I switch back to the VGA input on the tv I see black. But if I unplug the HDMI, I see the desktop. It's very strange, but it seems that thought the VGA adapter display takes over, which is insane, because the pc shows through a DVI - I connection separation. I scoured the internet for a solution and this little hiccup is driving me crazy. Any help you all can provide is greatly appreciated.
  Thank you!

  Hello Hunter M.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  You need a video cable to make the physical connection. For a better image quality, you must connect to the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.

  I suggest to disconnect the HDMI cable and try to connect it buy, follow these steps.

  1. Turn off your computer and place it near your TV. Unplug the monitor, but leave the mouse and keyboard connected.
  2. Connect the video cable appropriate to your computer's output to your TV.
  3. Turn on your TV and set it to the input that matches the output on your computer. You may need to refer to the supplied with your television user's guide for instructions on how to do it.
  4. Turn on your computer.
  5. You should see windows displayed on your TV. If the screen looks stretched, or part of the screen seems cut off, you will probably have to adjust the screen resolution in Windows.
  6. If Windows is displayed on your TV, you will need to reconnect the computer to your monitor and adjust the screen resolution before connect you to your TV.

• Impossible to get Dell Optiplex 9010 to start using Windows 7 DVD

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Dell Optiplex 9010 and I tried to re install the OS by partitioning the disk into two discs.  Optiplex 9010 is unfortunately not booting with DVD player. I activated the boot sequence in the WOODS at DVD, USB and hard drive, but still the same issue.

  Called dell customer service and they sent a new Win7 DVD and her we had the same problem, I'm lying to start with DVD player.

  Hi santoshmanya,

  Please start on the F12 menu and select the option to boot from the DVD drive.

  If this does not work, start with the BIOS and disable all options other start the DVD player and just keep trying.

• Windows 7 installation hangs at the end of the installation on Optiplex 380

  Trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 pro on an Optiplex 380. Installation on a new sata WD 500 hd crashes.

  The pc was purchased from Dell and came with installed Win XP and Win 7 DVD. The only change from the original configuration was to install a Radeon HD 4650 graphics card.

  Although it does not have some puff at the back usb ports, it is otherwise works perfectly well in XP. Latest BIOS uopdated. Anything else that the keyboard usb, usb mouse, video cable dvi and cable network.

  A web search shows a wild range of suggestions - remove this, disable, enable AHCI in the bios

  Thanks for the links.

  Watching the DVD I was using and he was embarrassed to see that he was 4 years old well in its sealed packaging. Of course no SP1 etc. Before trying to update the Sata drivers separately, decided to download a recent iso - http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/14-windows-7-direct-download-links - try and install it. Went like a charm with no problems whatsoever.

• ESXi install on dell optiplex 790

  Hi experts,

  
  

  1A tried to install Native Vmware Esxi 5.1 OS on Dell Optiplex 790, reported Installation Wizard not found supported network cards.

  2. I tried Esxi custom Dell installation 5.1 on the same area, then received the same error message.

  
  

  sounds like network drivers is not included in both of the Esxi Images, any idea on this issue.

  
  

  Error message 'no network adapters detected' when installing ESXi on Dell PowerEdge servers 12th generation - Dell Dell TechCenter - TechCenter community.

  
  

  
  

  Dell optiplex 790 got the intel pro 100/1000 cards.

  
  

  Even when I installed RHEL, it's the same thing, but fortunately RHEL does not stop in the Setup Wizard if the card is not supported. After the Installation of OS RHEL. I installed the e1000 driver. It works very well.

  
  

  VMware should have the same opportunity to install drivers after installing ESxi OS.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  If you do not have a suitable driver for the specific NETWORK card package, you can use Image Builder to create a custom ISO Setup / CD. Take a look at http://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer.html , which greatly simplifies this task.

• Dell Optiplex 745 with Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller with Windows 7 x 64 host cannot fill network

  All, I am new to the forum but have been reading up on top of a problem that had led me into a wall.

  I'm trying to create a development environment that uses VMWare Workstation 7.0.1 (and I tried with 7.0.0 before, leading me to)

  update in the hope of a quick solution) as a development of imaging and the test bench.  The system is a Dell Optiplex 745, upgraded to 8 GB of

  RAM.  Unfortunately, it seems that the biggest problem is the network card.

  I tried several different operating systems, and all DHCP requests are found in the AUTOMATIC private IP addressing.  This is even after I implemented a custom adapter (VMNet2) that fills explicitly to this network card problem.  I disabled VMNet0 and all because this dish was not working.  I have read some relevant

  messages, but nothing seems to help.  This included the http://communities.vmware.com/message/675649 and more

  positions listed on the registry settings.  I don't know what to do at this point.

  So, for those who do not know the Broadcom driver issues, they are apparently many.  It is important to disable the unloading, but

  I'm not able to find the settings in the post linked above.  It's quite similar to the OP for this thread.  I'm not

  know if it's a difference of conductor between the 32-bit and 64-bit implementations.  So, I updated from the version of the driver

  12.2.2.1 (b57nd60a.sys) of 10.100.0.0 (I think, can not driver rollback now to check because I need to work on VMS for urgent

  projects as soon as POSSIBLE).  So, as I said, I was unable to find the parameters of this post

  ()http://communities.vmware.com/thread/191085) mentioned below:

  • Large Send Offload (IPv4)

  • Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4)

  • Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6)

  What I found were these parameters:

  • Flow control (Auto, I tried to disable)

  • Priority and VLAN (priority & VLAN enabled; I tried priority and VLAN disabled)

  • Speed and Duplex (Knew better than to mess around here, has made the problems in the past, retired to Auto)

  • VLAN ID (always 0)

  • Wake Up Capabilities (Magic Packey; no one tried)

  • Unloading ARP (Enable; I tried to disable)

  • NS unloading (Enable; I tried to disable)

  I tried enabling / disabling all, specially those mentioning the unloading, all day without success.  This did not help.

  Later, I tried to add DontAddDefaultGateway, EnabledRSS and DisableTaskOffload keys to my CurrentControlSet on the

  host.  For some reason any DisableTaskOffload shows in the regedit, GUI, not the export of text.  Don't know what this means, and I'm too

  tired of care at this point.

  See also my VNE screen capture and sample log file attached.  Thank you very much in advance for any help.

  Sorry, had to rub a small part of the newspaper for my own protection.

  I'm sorry, I completely forgot to reply to this topic yesterday (get distracted by a matter of work).    I'll be back today and noticed that you have marked this as answer.  The root cause of the problem was therefore one MAC address per port restriction put in place by your network management team?
