• I bought a dell inspiron 1440 without any operating system. What should I install first, the dell drivers or windows vista?

  I use the windows vista installation disc supplied with my previous pc. I tried to do a clean install, inserted the disc into the cd/dvd drive. No installation window. The screen says "windows loading files..." After a few hours, the display shows something like

  "" windows has not... error: file boot32.exe is corrupt or not found. "."

  Then the Dell XP disc is great to use. However, do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

  1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

  2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

  3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

  4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

  * It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

  5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  6. other hardware components are faulty.

• Is it possible to have the 64-Bit and 32-bit operating system installed on the same computer?

  * Original title: installation of window OS

  Hi all

  In my system, it's already installed 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to install 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. Is it possible to have two operating system installed on the same computer? Can I do it?

  PL, guide me positively.

  Best regards

  Kapil Kumar.

  The amount of RAM is okay as long as you have a minimum of 2 GB installed. Even if you have more than 4 GB, it would not matter, Windows 7 Home Premium just won't recognize it.

  In respect with the both, you can set up a dual-boot configuration. Please note that you must have a unique product key to activate Windows 7 Home Premium.

  See the instructions how to set up a partition:

  http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/dual-boot-Windows-10-other-versions-Windows/

  References Windows 10, but the same instructions for Windows 7 also work.

  Click Start, right-click computer, click on manage

  Click on disk management

  Select the system partition in which Windows 10 is installed. Right-click, and then click on cut.

  

  Enter the amount of space you want to allocate to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, then click on cut. The more, the better.

  

  An unallocated partition will now be available. Right-click, and then click New Simple Volume

  

  This will start the wizard new Simple Volume, which will allow you to format, assign a drive letter and volume label.

  

  Once your partition is ready, you are now ready to install Windows 7

  Boot from the Windows 7 Home Premium disc, then

  Click Custom (advanced option)

  

  Select the partition we created earlier, and then click Next.

  

  Wait for the copy of the Windows installation files.

  I have a Dell Inspiron Mini Windows 7 starter from a pawn shop and it has the previous owner on this subject and I can not log on because I need there password. Can someone help me with this?

  The only safe option is to perform a factory restore. If you do not, then you are likely to be confronted with a machine that is seriously infected or was hacked. Have a look here for instructions:

• I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off.

  I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off when the charger is plugged after about 10 to 15 minutes. If I shine a torch on the screen, I see about the display is always. If I select change user from the menu start or stop / restart the machine, the backlight turns on and will last for another 10 to 15 minutes. I tried in safe mode and the same thing happens. Can someone help me with this problem?

  It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(

• Why my laptop screen is too dark? I have a Dell Inspiron.

  Why my laptop screen is too dark? I have a Dell Inspiron. How can I brighten it?  It is 2-3 years and is connected to the power supply. He has suddenly dimmed. I can hardly read.

  At startup, the power of type in the box above.  Choose power options.  Check the brightness settings here.  On the battery, they should be lower.

  There are also keys to the top of your keyboard, which can affect the brightness.

  If there is no problem, you probably have a hardware problem, which may not be easy or cheap to repair.
