• Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer. Connected battery does not support. Can I use the adapter of a computer Dell Inspiron 630 M laptop?

  In the last 2 days I had a problem as indicated in the title of this post. The fault corrected itself 3 times, but still, it's back to "plugged in, not load.» I use the laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium; 32-bit) on the card without problem, I assume that the card itself is not defective.

  I also have a Dell Inspiron 630 M laptop running Windows 7.  Can I use this card with the laptop of Vista, without causing damage to the Vista?  If it is safe to do so, and begins to charge the battery on Vista, this would indicate that the Vista adapter/charger has a kind of fault.

  Hoping someone can give me some advice. Thank you.

  Could be - or it could be the power supply.  See if the other card gives a link more solid.  If so, this is the plug of the adapter.  If it isn't, the decision-making within the system.

• How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

  I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

  Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)

  If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
  Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
  on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

  This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

  The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.

• Remove Vista and install XP SP2 on Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop

  I bought a laptop Inspiron-1545 Dell in 2009.

  It has Vista and Office 2007.

  I recently got admitted to a course where they r with Windows XP and Office 2003 in their program.

  So I need to downgrade my OS from Vista to XP.

  Thanks for giving me tips for this in details.

  (My Dell warranty period is over).

  Hi somali.cc,

  / 3GB is fine. Once you have installed Microsoft Virtual PC and start creating a virtual machine only allocate 1 GB of memory for the virtual machine. This will give you then 1 GB for XP and the other 2 GB for your Vista system.

• How to disable the TouchPad 'tap to click' on Satellite A200 - 15L Vista

  Until mid-December, I got the Synaptics Touchpad ' tap to click on "disabled. Then it became somehow activated, the context menu item to change to gray and the properties of the mouse, etc. settings contain no reference to it. It was suggested that updates nui Windows somehow. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for touchpad both directly from Synaptics and on the Toshiba site, but it did not help. Aside from using the disk recovery and reformatting what can I do?
  Toshiba Satellite A200 15 laptop (PSAE2E). Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

  Hi Juliana

  I also read on the Vista updates that affect the parameters of the touchpad for me it sound very mysterious
  I thought about the same procedure of reinstalling touchpad driver.
  But it seems this helps doesn t to get the click back features.
  I think the recovery CD would be the last resort.

  Good luck

• Dell Inspiron 17R laptop computer stand

  Help!  I have trouble finding a laptop computer support who will properly hold my Dell Inspiron 17R, especially at the front.  Recommendations, please?  I would be * extremely * grateful.

  There are different types of laptop stands. As you can see on this Ebay page.

  I looked for cooling stands for a portable 18 inches. They have a fan that helps keep the laptop cooler. I think it's closer to what you are looking for. If you do not want the fan on you don't have to plug.
