• Windows Vista do not install on Inspiron 1720

  Today I received my new Inspiron 1720.

  Intel C2D T9300 (2.5 ghz)

  4 GB of ram

  GForce 8600 m GT

  hard drives 2 * 250gbyte

  That's how the day passed by.

  -Obtained the computer. The cable is plugged in and he started upward. Everything worked normally and I made a user on the computer, etc..

  -Played around with it a bit and was installing updates and all of a sudden he hung up and stoped working.

  -J' I waited for an hour in the hope of nothing to take, but to no avail nothing happened. So I hold the powerbutton to restart.

  -When I started it again it was taking ages to start and then he says that he had to repair the hard drive.

  -J' waited for about 1 hour and there was no progress. So I decided to reinstall completely windows vista Home Premium, had not installed anything anyway. When I did the installation of the new I formatted all partitions of a large more logic a disk 0.

  -After the installation was made, I have set user settings, etc. And then I put in the CD Drivers and Utilities and enabled it to AutoRun the CD. and then he hung up again. and once again the previous thing.

  I tried solving the problems with the self-test on support thing and it did not help.

  He showed me an errormessage with something like 2000-0142.

  I can't install direct media, which gives me an error.

  If I insert the Vista disc and choose repair I see not all disks, so I downloaded drivers for HARD drive, but I get like 10 different choices and I don't know which one to choose, and they all fail to install anyway.

  For now, I'm trying to install a third, but I guess it's just failed again.

  And also if I press F6 during the instalation of choose the sata drive and choose where I put it after the download. He finds her, and I select. Then when I press OK the disapear internal hard drives from the list and only the USB drive where the drivers is left.

  Help, please. I searched the forums for at least 3 hours and I have not found anything similar.

  All I want is that it works normally. For the moment, I can only for use like 5-10 minutes until it breaks down and needs to be reinstalled.

• Disable TouchPad on Dell Inspiron 1720 - Vista Home Premium

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop and I would like to disable the touchpad so that I can move the cursor of the mouse only.

  Why? One wonders...  I can type text, when suddenly, the cursor will jump and I tap on the line above on the previous text. This has happened before, when I had first PC, and I've sorted it by disabling the touchpad. However, I have re installed the OS, etc, and everything must be reset to zero.

  2 years on I forgot how do. I tried Panel Manager and control device, but he can't get by on this machine. The system is Vista Home Premium, if it is of no relevance.

  Hi The_President,

  This site gives you the steps to disable the touchpad.

• 2 months old Inspiron 1720 (Vista Ultimate) - No. Audio except the system beeps

  First, let me preface this by saying that I'm certainly not a novice computer user.  I am a software engineer and have worked with Vista systems for more than a year.  All of a sudden a few days ago, I noticed my audio stopped working on my 2 months, Inspiron 1720 (Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC).  When I try to manually start the service Windows Audio from the Service Control Manager it says "Windows didn't start the Windows Audio service on Local computer."  Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. "I then try to start the dependent service MMCSS and get manually:"Windows could not start the MMCSS service on Local computer.  «Error 193: 0xc1»  Look in the event viewer under Windows Logs--> system, I see an error message: "the MMCSS service terminated with the following error: MMCSS is not a valid Win32 application."

  I first tried to download the latest audio driver from the Dell website and reinstall the driver.   When it does work, I called Dell and spent the afternoon with them trying to use the system restore to load several different restore points, eventually go all the way back to the original restore point (2 months ago).  None of the restore points will not load successfully.  Dell said it's a software problem and perhaps a trampled on their "QuickSet" application and recommended Microsoft Update I download the latest driver for QuickSet and reinstall.  I did this and still no sound.

  Looking for MSDN and Google I stumbled upon a few elements that mention a Windows Update (1 of 3 pre-Vista SP1 update pushed last week) that caused a few problems and was later fired by Microsoft (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937287 and http://www.news.com/Microsoft-pulls-Vista-SP1-update/2100-1016_3-6231299.html?tag=ne.fd.mnbc).

  Given that, I looked at my history of update and, of course, the 937287 update has been installed on 15-02-08 (which always is my audio stopped working).  However, this update cannot be removed.

  At this point I don't know if the problem is with the update of Microsoft or something else and am running out of ideas to solve this without reloading the original image and lose all my data.

  
  

• Problem of choppy / skipping audio Dell Inspiron 1720

  Hello

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 and any time I try to play mp3 with Media Monkey or even Windows Media player, I get a jerky sound or jump slightly.  I looked into the Task Manager and my CPU usage and the memory never get more than 45%.  I have Windows Vista installed.  Could be the problem?  I think that the audio device is SigmaTel.  When I do a search for new audio drivers, it says that they are all to date.  Help, please!  I'm at my wits end here!

  Thank you!

• Update BIOS Inspiron 1720

  I have an Inspiron 1720 under Vista Home Premium and I want to upgrade to Windows 7.   The Microsoft Compatibility Test indicated that there would be no problem.   But when I tried to install Windows 7 Home Premium, he answered by saying that I had to update the version of the BIOS (A03).   After having checked the Dell Support the version the most recent is A09.   When I try to download it all I get is a download manager that tells me that there are no files to download.   In my view, the file I need is 1702_A09. EXE.   How to install this update of the BIOS?

  eusetep

  Please download the slot BIOS file for your system.

  Let me know if you have any questions, the battery must be charged and connected to the AC adpt during the update.

  All applications must be closed. Interrupts the installation could make the motherboard unusable.

• Performance issues on Inspiron 1720

  In recent weeks, I am the proud owner of an Inspiron 1720. While I'm very happy with the laptop - I think even my sales office for the moment - there is a problem I have on audio.

  Whenever I'm playing music, this either using Winamp or Media Player, I'm starting to have serious performance problems. Applications suddenly stop responding or respond to a slow pace, and the strange thing is that these performance problems disappear as soon as stops audio playback. For example, if a windows unresponsive, I simply hit the hotkey "stop" or "pause", stops audio, and a fraction of a second performance shoots through the roof again.

  I use Vista Home Premium SP1 and the latest drivers available on the Dell site. It is not related to SP1 by the way, I have experienced the problem before the update to SP1 as well.

  A short diagnosis:

  • Manager tasks does no spikes in usage of CPU or memory that are worth noting.
  • It is also obviously not related to the audio player that I use for the Winamp and WMP have the problem. Memory of Winamp, use exceeds 10 megabytes - and its often much less than that.
  • Strange as it may be: the problem does not occur when that I consult a movie DivX by WMP. Can it be linked to an audio codec any?

  That's as much information as I am able to provide at present. Someone at - it tips or ideas on how to solve this puzzle?

  
  

• Inspiron 1720 with sigmatel audio

  Inspiron 1720 with Vista Home Premium which has audio Sigmatel.

  I hope someone has some tips that can help me. I try to use either Gamevoice/VoiceBuddy for adding voice command to my games.

  Unfortunately, the Gamevoice software tells me my audio equipment is unable to read and if you use the microphone Voicebuddy does not initialize. In this case, if I use the built-in microphone or a headset.

  I tried to upgrade to the latest Sigmatel drivers, without success. In fact they caused me problems of development and I had to back off.

  Cannot give more information at the moment because I'm at work. But if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I will update this with more hardware and driver details after I go home.

  
  

• No sound Inspiron 1720

  I noticed today that I have no sound from my speakers in my Inspiron 1720. You don't know when it started as I do not play the music often although he has worked in the past. I plugged in the headphones and they work. I'm new to this forum and looked around so if I missed a suggestion already posted... I'm sorry. I have Vista operating system and went to restore points. The only one who could be restored was a windows update last night, but that did not work. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

  
  

• Inspiron 1720 to HDTV

  Hello

  I have an Inspiron 1720 [Windows Vista] with a 256 MB GeForce 8600 M GT. Unfortunately, the 1720 has no DVI or HDMI ports, so I'm stuck with VGA. My Philips LCD 42 "doesn't have a VGA and HDMI and component. So, what would be the best way to connect my laptop to the TV?

  The VGA/DVI and VGA/HDMI converters are very expensive, so I would rather not this way.

  I've been watching the cables that connect VGA to component. What a VGA/DVI adapter, then a DVI cable to HDMI? Help, please
