• Dell Dimension 8400 and Windows 7?

  Hello

  Anyone had any experience with installing Windows 7 in an older Dell Dimension 8400 with 2 GB of Ram?

  Will it work?

  Thanx

  Mike

  Not on an 8400, but on a XPS G4 with 3 GB of RAM - which is just an amateur version of the 8400 from the XPS gaming PC line.  Windows 7 installed with no driver needed and worked like a dream for almost a year now.  The only thing is the game on the Z port Audigy sound card is not supported by Windows 7 (but the sound itself card works fine), was not a big problem for me.  Since W7 will eat a Go just to stay alive, 2 GB may be enough if you don't do any substance really hungry as core memory hard games, video editing, modeling, etc.  My kids play Age of Mythology all the time and my wife is a photographer - she is its main user, and rarely it strikes a wall at 3 GB.

• Is it possible to install WIN 7 32 bit on Qosmio X 500 - 167

  Hello

  is it possible to install WIN 7 32 bit on a Qosmio X 500 167
  Where can I get the drivers?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Of course you can install Windows 7 on this laptop why not?

  Even if Win 7 32-bit drivers are not released on the European driver Toshiba page, you could install this OS.

  Most devices use the same drivers. For example, you can check out 32-bit drivers for X 300 series.

• EliteBook 750 G2: Install Win 7 64-bit DVD?

  OK, this is crazy, but... How to install Win 7 64 bit from the HP operating system disk? My EliteBook is not a built-in DVD player and I can't boot from my USB DVD drive in the computer. When I go into the boot with the DVD drive plugged menu, the only startup options are 'hard drive' and 'ethernet '.

  There is a setup.exe file on the disk that gives me an error when I double click on it.

  I have to enter the BIOS and change something?

  Is there another way to install the OS?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello:

  There are a couple of BIOS settings, you will need to change in order to install and run W7.

  There are also some difficulties starting from USB3 ports.

  In the BIOS, you will have to enable the legacy mode and disable secure boot (legacy mode activation can disable secure boot), in order to install and run W7.

  For USB3 ports, see if there is a BIOS setting to have USB3 ports emulate usb ports 2 (or an Auto setting).

  If there is not, unfortunately, I don't know what the problem is about why you cannot start USB ports.

• Dell Dimension 8400 Reset

  I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with 3.5 GB of RAM on a 32-bit processor with Windows XP and a 500 GB HARD drive. I installed Ubuntu a while ago (worst decision ever) and was with the option for dual boot. However, as soon as I switch to XP one day, he came like a black screen with a flashing underscore white at the top left. I was wondering what to do if I can get back to Windows XP, or even Windows 7.

  You can try eBay. There are XP OEM drives for ~ $20 there. If you buy a disk to reinstall Dell Windows XP which has exactly the same version of XP was preinstalled, for example, Home or Pro (Service Pack no matter if be the one which includes SP3), it will be cheaper and should not ask for a product key, as long as you install on a Dell PC. If it of a detail or not Dell disk you must obtain a valid product key and they will probably charge for it.

  If you know someone who owns a Dell XP disc, you can use it, once again as long as it's exactly the same version of XP that was factory-installed, and it should not ask for a product key. All perfectly legal.

  You really should get Win 7 because it is still supported by Microsoft. I saw 7 Win Home Premium (32 bit) OEM drives with the product announced by reasonable companies key for ~ $ 68, but you can look on eBay also.

• Problem installing WIN 7 64 bit on a Vostro V131 with SSD

  Hello everyone,

  I just got my new Vostro V 131 with i5 2430 M, 4 GB RAM, HD3000 graphics and standard 500 GB HARD drive!

  I already had a new OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB SSD and wanted to change it against the bed on the HARD drive.

  I put a boot Win 7 64 bit with SP1 on a USB key and started the system. I am able to choose my language setting and then click the button "Start installation". And this is the mess: Setup starts, then then tells me I need to install other drivers. I can't choose anything else but a reader where these drivers. So I downloaded the SATA (AHCI) support drivers for my controller from DELL. They are recodnized by the system as drivers and checked, but I just go back to the window that says Add. the drivers are needed. The SSD is recognized in BIOS and SATA set to AHCI. I was able to format and part with the victory included tools/recovery Partition.

  OK, I checked for allmost everything, which could cause such problems. SSD firmeware is updated, set BIOS to update (as mentioned, SSDS is shown correctly). I put the SSD drive on an external HARD drive enclosure, and it has been shown in Windows as a normal USB storage device.

  Everything I checked was correct, the SSD is identified and shown correct instead of the Win7 installation menu.

  I am at the end of my ideas and hope that one of you can help out me!

  Thank you so far...

  I discovered what caused all this trouble ;-)

  It was the USB port used! I don't know why, but the USB 3 port starts the installation and then want additional drivers! I swapped the USB 2 port and everything worked fine. ;-)

  But thanks for the answer! Also, I don't have a DVD player ;-) If this would not have worked.

• I just installed windows 7 on an old dell dimension 4500 s. The installation went well, but I have a problem with the resolution of the screen. The resolution is set to 640 x 480 and my monitor is much better than that.

  • Just installed Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade - 32-bit
  • Installed on the old Dell Dimension Dsktp 4500 s
  • Monitor is a Dell S199WFP Flat widescreen.
  • Everything seems fine, but the screen display resolution is messed up
  • Display resolution is set to 640 x 480, then it should be something like 1024 x 768
  • I can't change the resolution in the control panel
  • the screen is recognized as "Non - PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter generic
  • It also seems that the driver is up-to-date

  What's wrong?!? Someone please help.

  Thank you!

  I remember that when I tried to install the driver, there's a message that says that it is said that it is not supported.  I don't know if I reinstalled the older operating system and then the new driver and vista or if there was a button to install the driver, even though it was not taken in charge.  Most likely, I installed the driver on the old XP operating system and then applied the upgrade to Vista. I always run a clean install to clean any spyware etc. The driver supports the X 9 live is what it takes. Use Vista driver is already installed.  I plan to upgrade to windows 7 in January and display the results.

• Win 7 32 or 64 bit on a dimension 8400

  Can you advise please? My Dimension 8400 just lost the C drive and I need to replace it. Therefore, I can't run any of the Windows advisor of Microsoft software to check the hardware capabilities of the PC.

  I intend to take the opportunity to move from Win XP SP3 to Windows 7 now... probably the Home Premium version.

  Can you tell me what I need to install the 32-bit version of Windows 7 or I can use 64-bit with this material.

  It is of relevance - and if my memory serves me well - the BIOS is A05. That need an update?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  I have improved my Dimension 8400 to 32 - bit Windows 7 Pro, a few months ago.  (My CPU is not 64-bit so 32-bit Windows 7 was the only option).

  Don't know what newegg is now supported, but at the time I upgraded, snaggstuff was significantly cheaper, even if their prices are higher now than when I bought it. SnaggStuff was OEM 32 - bit Windows 7 Home Premium here. It does not say if it includes SP1 or not so do not forget to ask because included SP1 you will save a lot of time and effort. You will need to download and install Microsoft patches 100 even if the installation disc including SP1.

  SnaggStuff was a stranger to me before this purchase, but they treated it very well and Win 7 installed and activated without any problems with the product key on the envelope of the disc.

  If you need to replace the two HARD drive and purchase Win 7, Speedstep may reason that it would be a better investment to get a brand new system with Win 7 or maybe one with Win 8.1.

• NB550D - best way to install Win 7 64-bit and 64-bit drivers

  Hello

  I improved my NB550D to Windows7 Home Premium and installed 4 GB of RAM.
  This works much better, but want to go further and make a Windows7 Ultimate _64bit_ _clean install_ in order to take full advantage of theupgrade in RAM.

  My question is: what should I do about the Toshiba drivers for 64-bit? I guess I'm going to need some?

  What is the best way to go about the upgrade - any help will be appreciated! : D

  If you need to switch to Win 7 64 bit, then you need some Win 7 64 bit drivers.
  On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find some 64-bit drivers, but it seems that not all Toshiba for Win 7 64-bit tools are released.

  Drivers for WLan or BT stack can be found here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

  Other drivers or Toshiba tools such as value added package or Face Recognition, Eco utility and others could be used with other series of portable for example by Satellite C660D or others such as L750D, L755D or C670D
  Surely you must pay attention to the integrated graphics chip, the LAN or the chipset
  Use the drivers that are released for fleas in NB550D

  Hello:

  If the network controller device is missing, then the driver installed and you should now see an Intel 5100 WiFi card listed in the category network adapters in the Device Manager.

  You should now be able to connect to wireless internet.

  The other two drivers you posted the ID for are the following:

  First install it and reboot.

  You must display the hardware for the 3rd ID like you did the others.  If it is listed as being unknown, it does not start with PCI\VEN.  Right after the top line of characters.
