Hi y ' All
DELL INSPIRON 2320 - Natural Wireless Laser Keyboard 7000 - default is Caps Lock ON (active) only when the cursor is in a field of password.
The game of keyboard mouse 7000 is great.
However, when the cursor is in any field/bos where a password must came me in, CapLock default value (setting) is ON or activated.
- This only happens only in a field/area requiring a password to enter... but it happens each unique time, any application or what connection Web site password field I can be located anywhere on the Internet.
- Again, this is only a problem when the cursor is in a password field.
- This (setting) can be reversed that, when the cursor is in an area of password, default (setting) will be | Caps Lock | STOP =?
In the BIOS settings, I only find a selection of NumLock setting. In Centre of keyboard and Microsoft mouse, the only setting that I can locate offers the choice to enable or disable the use of the Caps Lock key... entirely. So, when turned on, the default value is lock shift = WE only in a password box. Know, I is not no accidentally redundant; I repeat this case specific to the question in order to stress that this is the only time only this question.
Like most people, I have to enter the password often. This problem occurs if the "remember me" or "keep me logged in" is selected.
It's much more irritating.
Thank you for your considerations and possible solutions, if any.

To turn off the caps from the BIOS lock, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the BIOS.
Note: Update of the BIOS can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered unusable. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

He formatted the hard drive and then he restored the system. Suddenly, a small window pops up without any details, but saying "error". I restarted the laptop, it entered into Startup Repair mode. But even once showed error "operating system version is incompatible with startup repair". I don't have my windows CD/DVD. Although the windows sticker is still on the laptop. Please advise me how to install the system on the laptop so I can use the same. Please note that I am in Gurgaon (India).

Hello
Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.
I suggest you to reinstall modem drivers:
(a) go to the manufacturer website and download the drivers. This will
usually come as a zip file or installation program.(b) if its an installation program, run it. No need to go further.
(c) if it is a zip file, unzip all the files in a temporary directory.
(d) right click on my computer, then select Properties > | material | > Device of
Manager.(e) to locate the modem on your equipment list. It could be among the "pci
device communication "or similar.(f) right click the icon and select get updated driver.
(g) install from a specific location and follow the instructions of the wizard through. Specify
where you unzipped the files. Some create additional records
decompression so you will look for an INF.(h) proceed to configure the modem in the properties applet, phone and modem in the
Control Panel and verify that your settings are correct.See also:

Some time ago, after Windows has pushed an update, my Synaptics touchpad is not responding. I didn't know it was the update that was causing the problem in time - only, I discovered that after investing many hours of research on the internet on the topic. I searched the internet for fixes, without success. Run support of Dell diagnostics, which indicated that the touchpad is operational, but even in Safe Mode, it is unresponsive in Windows. Dell has also tried unistalling the drivers and reinstall them later (I presume) drivers for this model, also without success. Windows restore points is available since a few days, so there is no possibility to restore to a previous update of the State. Support Dell tells me that now the only solution they can provide is to return to the factory settings. Missions in various forums around the internet, I know that this isn't an isolated problem, but to get a fix from Microsoft, I have to pay a fortune to support time. Help!
Hello Jefas64,
Have you tried to simply roll back the driver for this device in Device Manager? Let us know, helps you. Make it a great day!

Hello
Your printer has as USB connection:
And not available to add accessories:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01987635
Options
(a) is your router wireless print server option? If so, connect the printer to the router using the USB port.
(b) purchase a wireless USB print server, not much on the market today and the success rate is questionable (based on my tests).
(c) use USB connect to Dell printer now and buy a new printer later.

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.
