• With new Dell XPS13 keyboard problems (2015)

  I just started the new Dell XPS 13 (with touchscreen) to us.

  The question arising is with the key 'space '. If tapped on the right edge, it inserts a double space! This happens if the key combination is maintained for a long period.

  I reduced the frequency and the time of repetition, but this does not solve the problem.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I am facing the same problems as the OP and I am also on the latest version of the BIOS. Please advise on how I can solve this problem. Extra space has been added due to the problem

  If your computer is new call Dell and ask for a refund or an Exchange. It seems that it is the only way to solve this problem...

  @Jennifer DELL K

  Dell fought problems of keyboard for well over a year now on almost all laptops high-end (Latitude E7450 processor and controller, E6440, E5440). It reflects very badly on Dell... terrible QA and QC.

  

• Run Wdws7 pro on two new Dell XPS. I back up all my data on my ACER Aspire server.

  I back up all my data on my ACER Aspire server. The new Dells with Wdws 7 pro will not find the server. He will find the server to backup everything, but when it came time to recover the material it will not find the server. I also have a backup server with 11 Wdws, there will be the Acer server, so there must be something with the Dell printer, or a combination of software and laptop computer.
  I have this problem since the purchase of new laptops. My old XPS, never had any problem using Wdws XP. This problem is unique, for either, no one wants to venture a solution, or Dell or Microsoft have a small problem, nobody has met him.

• Photosmart 2710 and new Dell Computer problem

  Just got a new Dell XPS 630 and can not load or recognize the Photosmart 2710 all in one.  We have Dell install Windows XP Professional, but I wonder if they let Vista stuff out there.  Tried to use the CD supplied with the printer... no joy.  Also tried to download any software and the new drivers HP.  What should have been an easy thing, now became very frustrating hours of work.  Please tell me that there is an easy solution for this.  Jan

  Installation of the program

• Problem with the Installation of JAVA in my new Dell running Windows 7

  Problem with the Installation of JAVA in my new Dell running Windows 7 - error message when you try to intall Java using Chrome.

  "lib'charsets.jar: old file not found."  However, a file of the same name was found.  No updates since the contents of the file do not match. »

  Then "Java update fails to apply the changes to your system."

  Then "error 1722.  There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A fun program as part of the Setup did not finish as expected.

  Earlier, I had a problem with the video and had Windows reinstalled 7.  Now my AOL games don't show/reading.  JAVA said error 1722 is an InstallShield error code. It indicates that the installation process has failed. The exact reason for this error is not known at this time.  I was told to uninstall JRE (Java Runtime Environment).  I find two versions of Java on my system (no JRE) - Java (TM) 6 - update 14 and 14 (64-bit).  Should I uninstall both?... OR WHAT?

  Hi Betty48228,

  Here's how to solve your problem:
  (1) uninstall all versions of Java.
  (2) the uninstall will probably fail. If so, get Revo Uninstaller free http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.htmland uninstall Java in advanced mode (integrated Java uninstaller runs, failure and then Revo will delete everthing manually). You will need to restart your PC.
  (3) reinstall Java: http://java.com/en/download/

• I want to open/read/convert files .opf and .opef, (professional vista in the new Dell Vostro 1520)

  I copied dozens of files from the old notebook in a USB key, copied in my new Dell (running Vista Business) and the file types are displayed as .opf and .opef. Vista does not recognize these types (I thought that I initially had saced them in format JPEG, MPEG, etc.). The web provides no answers, nor made of Microsoft Web sites, so this page. Why is all this so desperately complicated / I just want to USE my computer, no need to learn a lot of things that need to be automated, grrrr!

  . OPf files are associated with six programs that I know (and probably more) http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/opf and http://filext.com/file-extension/OPF. I can't anything on .opef files - I don't think that there is.  I don't have either of these types of files in the associations for file on my system Vista Business SP2 32 bit (with a lot of the image). You can check your by going to start / Control Panel / Default programs / associate program, a file or process and analysis of the list for .opf and .opef.  If you have, see what kind of program he uses to open files.  If you do not, then you have no program capable of opening files (as they are named).

  Are the files on your USB stick with their original file extensions?   They are still on the old computer?  You can try to do the process again to see if this strange event occurs again (if everything goes well, it will not and everything will be OK).  Simply copy files does not change their extenstions (even if the new machine is not the software to read the extensions, and especially not if it's the case) - but already, you know that and are looking for a solution.  I could try to change the extension of one of the files has been changed to revert to the original extension and see if you can open it with the appropriate software.  If this workd and you cannot transfer files without changing extensions the (and I don't quite understand why it is happening0 then your only choice is perhaps rename each file to give it the appropriate extension.)  Either that or try to download one of the programs in the first link of this post and see if you can open the files with .opf.  If so, you need to learn how to use this program for working with these files transferred.

  You can be infected by the malware. To resolve this problem (if it is a problem) download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).  You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials to: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same bet cautioned that you can have only ONE program AntiVirus installed and running on your system at any time).  They say that MSE has the most impact on the performance of the PC while I found Pandasoft found most of the malware.  You can decide if you want to keep your current AV program or switch to one of these other.  If you want to transfer the files, then try again.

  If this does not work (and don't try to do the scans with each of them), then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well it will finish without error, it could not resolve (if she has no such errors, post here or you can try to analyze them using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228).

  Which; s on this subject for now (it is certainly enough to keep you busy with you would rather not do things I realize - but if we want to retrieve these files must be eliminated some potential problems that can cause the problem * unless you want to change all the files one by one if dealing even works).

  Good luck and let us know how things go.  We will be there to offer more help if these solutions do not do the trick.  One way or another, we will answer your files somehow.

• New Dell laptop has a white square of 4 "on my desktop

  I just bought a new Dell laptop with vista. When it shows the office, a white square of 4 "replaces the screen. l ' turn off or restore does not cure the problem

  peewelt,
  Since the white box then emerged on the Internet, I strongly suspect malware.  Anytime something happens while online, it is the prime suspect.  Try running a good scan online even if you have security software such as yours could have been compromised.  Here are two options:

  Windows OneCare: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm?s_cid=sah/?s_cid=sah
  or
  Trend Micro Housecall: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

  Also download, install and run Malwarebytes from Malwarebytes.org.  It of free and is one of the most reliable sources for malware protection.

  If who does not find any, try to restore the system to a point in time before the problem started:
  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
  Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
  Click Finish.
  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

• Bought a new dell battery and still my laptop battery does not charge.

  Hello.

  I am using a Dell inspiron 1545 for about 3 years now and exactly after 2 years of my purchase, the battery has failed and it began to show me to replace the battery and always informed to contact me dell for a new battery.

  I took this to a lot of trouble, so I simply ignored the message and kept using my battery with my wired adapter. After 4-5 months of such uses, my battery has completely failed and does not give me even even a minute of backup, when I remove the power outlet. Then I realized the importance of a new battery and then bought a new battery from Dell.

  Its the same battery with the same features and also the same type family. After that I removed my faulty battery, I replaced my purchased new Dell battery and realized that my battery works fine. his load well, but at one point, it says "plugged in, but do not load" which is rare for a new battery, that is purchased new.

  

  This is what it looks like now once I removed the plug adapter and when I depend on the backup battery. It provides a backup, but I see a Mark exclamatory yellow next to her. Which I think should not be present. He also says "Low battery" when there are already some 99% battery left!

  I also followed a few steps online

  (1) update the BIOS for the last 2) followed by a few other steps such as uninstall the ACI battery in Device Manager and etc...

  I'd like to get this problem is solved. I use an adapter family PA-12, which is also replaced. So any help on resolving the issue would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hey maxim. I have actually FIXED this month back, problem. and I want exactly help on it so that you can fix it yourself too...

  the problem that is the creation of your battery to display an exclamatory mark is your power settings.

  then follow these steps to get rid of this sign and a battery to work perfectly.

  1) click the icon of your battery (left click), you should see an option called "Power Options more' at the bottom of the pop-up window.

  Click on 'more power Options.

  (2) now, you will be taken to your control panel where you can see all of your power plans and under each plan, you will see an option called "Change plan settings"

  3) click on "Change plan settings" for your active power plan. Now you will be redirected to another window of Control Panel, where you can see two types of power options to get adjusted. in other words, when you battery is connected and when your battery is disconnected.

  (4) do not touch these options, simply click on 'Change power avancΘs' at the bottom left of this window. THIS IS THE AREA WHERE WE HAVE TO FIX!

  (5) after that you click "Change advanced power settings", you will see a POWER options window, go down and then you can see what is called "Stack" with a sign to the left. until it clicks.

  (6) now, you just change the levels for the following values

  --> Critical battery level (you can change it to 10%)

  ---> Low battery (you can change it at 20%)

  Now once who did, YOU will BE No. LONGER SEE THE EXCLAMATIVE MARK on YOUR STACK!

  So I hope it works!

  Answer me when you've managed to fix.

• How to connect an external monitor to a new Dell XPS 13?

  We had two new Dell XPS 13 for users and there seems not to be any video ports as on previous models.  It runs Windows 10 Professional and has a resolution of the internal display of 1920 x 1080.  Looks like there are 2 super speed USB 3.0 ports and possibly a (thunderbolt)? the port?

  I've heard of USB - C, so I don't know if it's that this port a port on the left side, or if his crush.  I googled thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and all the images that I find it always shows a port mini display on one end despite descriptions saying Thunderbolt.

  So what is the best way to get HDMI out on this laptop?

  I just bought an XPS 2016 13 9350 and now know that the only way to connect no matter what monitor what so ever needs a dell docking station or an adapter.  IT HAS NO CABLE THAT CAN BE USED ONLY TO CONNECT THIS LAPTOP TO A MONITOR.

  I am working in three offices and the adapter, I had lasted 2 weeks before burning and it was the second.  20% of the forum posters have the same problem using a doc $200 now.  It is $600 for 3 offices, I have been working in if I don't want to carry a doc that is heavier than the laptop!

  Who, in their right mind to product management Dell would do a lightweight laptop that had no option to connect a monitor with just a cable.  Why they could not also include a DP or HDMI port or stay until there was a cable is nuts.  It STINKS for us but ideal for Dell they can now sell docs a lot more than ever before.

  I asked to return the laptop and get a surface or a lenovo and our IT group is frantically looking at them with more new employees coming on board. No cases were going docs $ 200 dozen. We have been dedicated company dell, but not anymore.

• Help! -New Dell i3847 - Windows 7 Pro - Dell Recovery Disk Win 8.1 & DBaR don't make a backup of the system

  I bought a new Dell i3847 and it has Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed at the factory on it.

  I wanted to make a complete backup of the system, but the Dell Backup and Recovery software does not allow me to make a backup of the system.  In addition, I was unable to create a system recovery disk using Dell backup and restore.

  I can't use the drive system recovery expected Dell because it clearly states Windows 8.1

  (1) why is a Win 8.1 drive included with a Win 7 Pro 64 bit system?

  (2) what is the problem with Dell backup and recovery that she:

  (a) cannot create a recovery disc factory

  (b) allow me to create a backup system so I can go back to the factory State

  Help!

  It has been 2.5 hours and it is still "initialize disk" to create a recovery of the plant.  It usually somewhere fails during initialization or in writing.    Spend hours for each failed attempt to create a factory recovery disc is NOT GOOD!

  The factory restore disk was finally created.

  Dell is now a person pays create a backup system and the user must download a update to do so.

  Microsoft has a tool to create a system image and make a recovery / restore disc which is free.

  So, I used DBaR do restore disk by the factory.

  However, to make a system image and a recovery / restore for that, I used windows 7 built in software.

• My speakers Altec Lansing ADA745 will work with my 530 s the new Dell Inspiron PC?

  My speakers Altec Lansing ADA745 will work with my 530 s the new Dell Inspiron PC?

  I watched updates of the audio driver for my pc and am not sure which one I need or you can even use it.

  Although "4.1" speaker systems are very common, the ADA745 should work without problems on a new system.  I have no connection to the ADA745 info but I guess it would connect everything as you are currently connected to the old PC.  New systems PC audio supports up to 7.1 speaker (with the most common 2.1 or 5.1) systems.  There is no drivers for speakers, however, you need to define the types of speakers in the control panel (e.g. article 4.1, and if this isn't an option, try the 5.1 and see if works well).   Printed with the new PC installation worksheet should detail the audio connections and if not, there is a copy of the Dell manual loaded on your PC and it has the details on the back panel connections.

  In Vista, the sound control panel is accessible by Start/Control Panel/hardware and sound/Sound.
