I bought the laptop inspiron 5720 dells & I was told I could upgrade to windows 8 free, it's true
I bought a dell inspiron laptop 5720 at best buy, I asked about the free update to windows 8 when the system is ready, I was told
to connect to microsoft for details and download, it true?
It applies only if your store has been involved in the transaction and gave you the relevant documents to allow the operation.
Unfortunately, that was back before October 26, 2012, which is the date that Windows 8 has been made public. Needless to say that the offer was not available for a while.
You also missed out on the upgrade at low prices, only $15, for upgrade to Windows 8 AFTER October 26, 2012.
If you want Windows 8 now, you will pay full price for it...

Hello
1. when exactly you get this error message?
2 are you able to boot into the office after getting this error on blue screen?
3. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?
I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.
Method 1: Try to start your system in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Method 2 : If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.
By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.
Method 3: If the problem persists, then try to run the Startup Repair tool.
Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

Why my MBP retina nine come with only 100 GB against 120 GB as shown. (He says 20 GB has been used, but I just bought the laptop) is enough space of 100 GB. I'm not a gamer or anything like that. Just need the computer for College

If you bought the Apple MBP, you have 14 days to swap for a most appropriate mac.

My old laptop is now very slow performance, no doubt because it is hopelessly cluttered with unwanted stuff, viruses etc.. So I have tried various methods of cleaning without success, I decided to reformat (all data on it has been transferred to a new laptop) and start from scratch by reinstalling Windows Vista Home (installed when I bought it). But no installation disc has been delivered, although the product no key. is located on the underside of the laptop. What should I do? I could ring you, but I don't have a land line, and a long call on my cell phone would probably cost a fortune. It would be great if you were ringing me to talk me through the process (07760 101610)

Hello
Sorry, this is not Microsoft and we don't do phone calls that we are for the most part, Windows users help each other here...
Here are the different ways that you can reinstall Vista.
See which is more easy for you.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:
How to change the Boot order in BIOS:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

my touch pad on my laptop does not move the pointer, but when I have my mouse wireless pluged in it will work I was told I could have disabled the touch pad which I have to do to activate it again?
Hi dove2k,
Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.
You will need to enable the touchpad on the laptop itself.
Find the area of the touch pad, you will find a button to enable or disable the touchpad.
If the step above doesn't, try this step.
Go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab
Click(or to disable) Notes:
On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. For example, ACER, just do Fn + F7.
You can click on Reset device if none of these solutions work.If you still can't touch pad to work, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

Cannot read the bridge cache
Tent for 3 days of bridge to work. I was told it could read cache - tired everything including deleting and reloading - still getting the same message. Computer restarted several times as well. Please help me I'm on a deadline. Bob
Let me guess: you're under Windows?
Have you tried a different cache folder location? Because Windows can limit the bridge to access the folder that you have now.

False advertising - no card "double band" in the Laptop Inspiron 7537
Dell has falsely announced that Inspiron 7537 has a dual band wireless card. I bought one only to discover this small 'mistake' he was too late, the laptop came with a subpar single band card which is great slow and abandons the connection frequently.
Three cats with Dell customer 'Care' and two conversations with their technology "phone support" later, they have not even pretend to try to find a solution or to offer any assistance. Technical support sent me the customer service technical support customer, then it bounces twice more, and then they give me yet another number to call where they are, of course, never pick up the phone.
That's what you get from Dell after having scammed you out of $1500 +.
For quicker assistance please this repost in the forum of customer care.
