Inspiron 1525 with vista keeps freezing

I have an inspiron 1525 with Vista installed on it.  If I leave my computer be for about 30 minutes then it freezes.  Today, I've been using Microsoft Word and again once it froze while I was in the middle of a project.  I used a registry cleaner from the Microsoft One Care and the problem still persists.  I am currently in safe mode now and it still froze, but I'll let it be by itself and see if it freezes or not.  I don't know what I have to do.  Is - it there anyway anyone can help me out here and point me in the right direction?

  • 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.

  • Windows Vista keeps freezing on me if I leave it alone for 15 minutes or just when ever

    Need help my computer keeps freezing on me if I leave it alone for 15 minutes or I'll watch a video in full screen and when I try to close it freezes. So I do not know what to do, system restore or what? On a side note do not know if it related to the top of my sound on the icon on the taskbar icon tasks and the network displayed sometimes.

    Hi Samurai14,

    If the steps provided Mick did not help, it is possible that your Windows installation is damaged. The following link has instructions on how to reinstall Windows Vista:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

    If after a reinstall, you still have problems with Windows freeze, it is most likely hardware related and you should contact the manufacturer of your system for further assistance.

  • Inspiron 1525 / Windows Vista replaced but disc will not load the drivers

    Inspiron 1525 (6/2008) hard drive failed.    Bought a Western Digital spare hard drive 500G (WD Blue) SATA III 5400 RPM.   (NOTE: this is the 2nd replacement hard drive because I bought the 1525... the first time I replaced the hard drive, everything worked as it should.) Original hard drive was a Seagate).

    Replacement hard drive installation is installed it will not load the Vista OS from the disk to the operating system (which came with the laptop) because it does not recognize the driver for the hard disk.

    I tried downloading the latest drivers from the Dell site, but which did not work or the other.

    As I said, the previous hard drive replacement (an another western digital) works perfectly when I reinstalled the Vista operating system in 2010.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you...

    Thanks for the detailed instructions.   I tried everything, but it didn't work.

    Then I read about someone trying to install the same on an Inspiron 1545 hard drive and need to adjust the drive to align with the connectors using paper and another person was using the foil which made me realize that it was a problem of 'size' or 'worthy '. I then decided to open the laptop and manually set the new drive in place and everything works now. (Dell 1525 has a side load drive holder therefore had to open to make this setting correctly).  The player on the 1525 is 9.5 mm thick, but the new disc is 7 mm... even though the sales page for this player said he would fit a 9.5 mm slot.

    Everything is good now.
