• Disable the touchpad on laptop Dell Inspiron 1501 with Vista

  I have checked the BIOS and can not see anyway to disable the touchpad from this location. When you use XP, I was able to disable the touchpad easily, but have not been able to do it under Vista. I was on the Dell site to see if it is a question of laptop. I have not received response to date. Please help I don't like the concept of the touchpad. I much prefer a mouse and do not use one. Please help if you know of any way to disable the touchpad. TKS

  If there is no driver XP not listed then you model does not support XP, you can watch mode "XP".

• Unable to connect to a wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

  I set up a wireless about a week ago and have done with the following security features: WEP, activate only certain MAC address to connect and disabled to broadcast the SSID.  I was able to use it very well with my Mac computer using the airport, but when I tried to connect my roommates, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista computer, it can not connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for a Windows cannot connect to the network and that the wireless link has failed for unknown reasons.  He then said to contact your administrator, but it's me.  I have a basic knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and basically know what I'm going along.  If anyone has any advice for me, my roommate and I'll be very grateful.

  Thank you

  -Jill

  Too bad.  Apparently, I got the wrong MAC address.  I am now connected.

• Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version gets stuck and won't end up task - is to turn it off and restart.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version that was working fine until recently. Now, whenever I try to open a file or use whatever it is, it seems stuck with the ROAR - once an hourglass on the old computer - and nothing happens. The only way I can get out of everything I tried to do is to turn off and restart. Next, I get the message that he has was not shut down normally, etc., and it takes forever to get up. Then the whole again. I really want to this time just download all my files on an external hard drive so I can get a new computer, but it will not let me even copy / paste a single file without getting bogged down. Control Alt Delete even let me get into the Task Manager to stop the programme of work. Please help me.

  Hi MZ1_6789,

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Follow these steps:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

  You will be able to install Windows Xp on your computer, but you will need to perform a clean installation.

  Before installing Windows XP. And also, you will have to take up the data in your computer, because the new facility will remove all data into the computer.

  Download the driver from the support of dell at the following link:
