How to format an original Dell Inspiron 1525?
I tried to restore my computer to its original state and had difficulties doing so. I watched a lot of videos on youtube, and none of them have worked. Any suggestions? Thank you.

It's a question of DELL. They gave you a way in which you could do this when they sell it to you. They can tell you how to do this.

I have a dell inspiron 1525 with windows xp sp 2 on it and I had to wipe and reinstall xp on it b/c I got the BSOD. Now, I can not configure a network connection, or get all the drivers that I need and I can't go on the internet. Is it possible to use another computer to get the drivers I need for this? Do you need a specific driver to even set up a network connection?
AngelaGraves,
The drivers you need are on your disk drivers that came with your computer.
Here's the order of installation of the drivers. How to download and install drivers in the correct order
If you do not have the drivers disk, you can download the drivers from Dell drivers & downloads, then copy on a USB key or drive and install from there.

I installed a new hard drive for my dell Inspiron 1525 and try to install windows 7. He asks me to install the driver. How to do it
Using the Dell recovery disks to reinstall?
The origonal drive failed?
If you are using a real MS win dvd during the first part of the installation it can not find a drive or ask a driver, then the driver is obtained from Dell, specific to your model, its likely the driver sata, you need to download to say a USB and then point to this file when the installation application the third-party driver.

Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista
Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista. It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.
Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware". There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.
I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.
My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad! So frustrating. I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post. Someone help me please! That's four times now.
I thought about it!
Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst. He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left. After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click". _ Yes!
Thanks for all your help, man. I really appreciate it. It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others. Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

Replaced the hard drive on my dell inspiron 1525 Vista restored. Now "unable to detect wireless networks.
MarkWilkins,
The utility of desktop / laptop must be installed first (if applicable), then the drivers from the chipset. If they are NOT installed everything first, then the rest of the drivers will not install.

Dell Inspiron 1525 Microphone does not
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a built-in microphone. I run on vista. The microphone is not picking up my voice. I went to the control panel. I have made sure it is activated, and all volumes are rising. It is said that SigmaTel Microphone Array works, but that's not true. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled the SigmaTel driver. I did a system restore and that didn't help. The speech recognition does not pick up my voice either. All other sounds work fine, I built in Webcam which works very well, except for the record. But who is also defined on such sigma with all volumes upward. I've had this computer for over a year and the microphone used to work, I think that when I updated something she decided to not work. But I really need my microphone to work, and I am really frustrated because I can't use it. ANY advice would be appreciated thanks!

Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager
Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.
Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.
Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I have a dell inspiron 1525 and having a problem with the integrated webcam. The webcam suddenly stops working.

Also tried to plug a USB mouse as other advice forums but still does not. Can someone please... Thank you very much...

1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

Factory restore Dell Inspiron 1525
Go to restore my Dell Inspiron 1525 to its Restore Original factory by inserting the DVD provided with resettlement the machine, I'm wrong delited ogical C drive and installed comeletely new Vesta Home top with the same DVD. This process does not restore the original factory restore so I want to re - restore to factory State. What should I please advise.
Thank you
Hello
You may need to contact Dell support about the capacity of the disc you have. According to the manufacturer, a recovery disk can have options to reinstall everything, backup and reinstall, wipe and reload to factory State, etc.. Manufacturer recovery methods are very different to a normal installation of Vista, and even other system integrators, Dell support is therefore really where you should ask these questions.
Reinsert the disc and see what options you are presented with initially.
