• No Internet connection - problem with Dimension 4400

  I have an icon in the lower right task bar with the little yellow exclamation point and a message that connectivity can be limited or non-existent (it is non-existent; I have no internet connection).  I can connect my laptop to a wall outlet without any problem, so I think it's safe to say that the problem is with something in the computer, not the ethernet cable or the router.  I've tried everything I can think of, including: (1) deactivation/activation of the connection; (2) 'fix' the connection; (3) restart router; (4) network card replacement and updating its drivers; (5) by moving the network card to a different location; (6) in an attempt to connect via USB using an ethernet converter / USB; (7) update the chipset; and (8) changing the battery in the motherboard.  So far, nothing has made a difference.  All my friends computer, as well as the Verizon tech support, is puzzled.  Any ideas?

• Problems with drivers in Lite Touch Deployment (WinPE 6.2.9200, deploying 7 x 64 ENT)

  I'm trying to deploy Windows 7 x 64 enterprise on a laptop that is not our standard specification and ordered as only once without prior testing.

  When I have PXE boot since our deployment server, it loads boot.sdi and the trunk. WIM successfully, but I get so a mistake a network device was not a driver loaded for WinPE could not connect to the deployment server.

  Try to resolve what I have:

  > Download the appropriate Windows 8 LAN driver from the manufacturer's website

  > Imported it out-of-box drivers in MDT

  > Checked in the properties of the driver that the seller and the device listed in the error ID appear in the list of supported devices

  > Updated the deployment share

  > Imported the updated boot image to WDS

  This could not solve the problem, so I tried importing the driver directly in WDS and adding to the image manually boot. It has also failed to solve. After I installed Windows 7 manually on a disc, I have successfully installed the same driver to activate the LAN, although it is listed as a Windows 8 / 8.1 driver by the manufacturer. For me, this means that the driver is valid but I somehow do not import into the Lite Touch boot image. What can I do to make the driver to load properly?

• I accidentally created a "Preset" for an A6 postcard, but with dimensions of the A5. To complicate the problem, I managed to save by mistake in the default presets and now it seems I can't get rid of it. Any ideas? Thank you.

  I created accidently a custom preset in Indesign to a postcard A6, but with dimensions of the A5. I badly taped so that it now appears under the predefined default settings and it seems, so I'm unable to delete by all means that I was able to identify. Anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  I think having solved by doing file-presets-by default, select preset and then delete. I'm still not entirely sure how, but somehow I got the desired result! Thanks for all the advice offered.

• New graphics card for Dimension 9200

  Hello

  My Dimension 9200 aging gives me 2 beeps when I turn on and do not release something on the screen. My understanding is that this means that the needs of map graphics replacement, am right in thinking that?

  Can anyone recommend one for me as a replacement, ideally available on amazon.co.uk or maybe ebay UK. I do some photo editing, but no game. Inexpensive as well if possible because I think that I've probably will modernize to a new pc soon

  Thanks for any help!

  Just to update on what happened with that, you were right about the sound signals are not video card. I installed the new card graphic and who brought the display immediately, but showed BIOS problems with the boot order which must have started when I took the battery, easily corrected when I saw what was happening on the screen. In any case to confirm the nvidia GT630 1 GB works fine but seems slow, it will do as a temporary solution.

  Thanks again for your help!

• CPU upgrade Dell dimension 9200 core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz processor

  I was wondering if someone could help me.  I know that it is not supported by dell, but I want to upgrade my processor at the maximum speed supported by my Dimension 9200... I currently have a 2.4 Ghz cpu and bought an E8500 3.16 Ghz, which is NOT compatible... I was wondering if I could go with an E7300 2.66, I I think the problem is with the speed of the bus--the E6600 and E7300 are the two 1066 Mhz but the E8500 and E8600 1333 Mhz.

  Can anyone confirm that the E7300 2.66 / 1066 Mhz is compatible...?  Thank you.

  Steinomite

  OK so just to confirm that I will buy the CPU... I can get a core 2 duo for a core 2 Quad... as long as I get a Q6700 2.66 GHz... correct? for a Dimension 9200... Thank you.

  Yes, the XPS 410/9200 will take up to Q6700, processors FSB 1066.

• 2 TB hard drive for Dell Dimension 9200

  I have a 3 years Dimension 9200 desktop with 2 X 160 GB hard drives configured as a RAID 320 array.  I want to move to a single 2 TB hard and I was wondering if someone could advise me if a Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS - buffer of disk hard - 2 to - internal - 3.5 "-SATA-600 - 7200 rpm -: 64 MB would do the job."  Otherwise, what is that limit the upgrade?  Is there more to consider otherwise if it is a SATA hard drive? Someone at - it other recommendations? My apologies if this message sounds like it is a novice to updates - the reason is that I am!

  There is no reason from a material point of view that a 2 TB drive would be a problem in the Dimension 9200.  Just considerations common to install a SATA drive.

  You install Windows XP?  If you use the installation disc is a labeled Dell installation disk, SATA drivers can be already integrated in the drive.  Most Windows XP installation diskettes, however, won't these drivers so that the computer hangs during installation, typically have reported that a hard disk cannot be found.  If you find that this is the case, go to the system configuration (F2 during the self-test after starting or restarting the computer), then assign the controller SATA RAID Autodetect / ATA.  This parameter allows to use the native IDE drivers on the Windows XP installation disc.

  If you use Vista, you should have no problem Vista installation media should have native SATA drivers.

  Manuals for your computer are available at support.Dell.com.  The service is currently not available, but should be back before long.

• Upgrade a Dell Dimension 9200 360 GB Raid to 2 TB hard drive

  Hello

  I have tried this modernization and taken on drives of 160 GB 1 and put in disk 2 TB and started the PC and it did not work I tried 2 different locations.

  Can someone help me by telling me what I have to do

  to install disk 2 TB on my Vista PC running.

  I need to install my dell Vista-CD/CD?

  your help will be greatly appreciated

  Assuming you have RAID 0, RAID was probably set up to be the bootable hard drive.  If you delete one of the disks, your RAID will be completely disabled and the computer will not start.  The Dimension 9200 has six SATA ports, two upward by themselves and four other together towards the middle of the main map.  When one of these machines has been ordered with RAID Dell normally placed disks RAID on the third SATA ports and fourth, leaving the first two either vacuum or place the DVD/CD drive on the second of the two ports that reach by themselves next to the power supply.  You should be able to add your Board of 2 TB in two ways; Place it in one of the two ports next to food, or use one of the either the port of fifth or sixth sitting by the RAID.

  Once you have the new drive installed mechanically, restart the computer and use F2 during the self-test to reach the configuration of the system.  This page shows the BIOS how you want the computer to deal with its various devices.  Go to the screen that shows all your SATA devices and make sure that the port with your new hard drive is turned on.  If you skip this step the computer ignores your new drive.  Once you have done this and left the installation of the system, you will need to find the disk on your computer Manager so that you can initialize, partition and format the new drive.  You must configure a partition, even if you want to use the entire disk as one partition before you can format.

  A word of caution: computers some Dell's have some difficulties to accept a hard drive placed on a track numbered higher than the DVD/CD drive.  If you use the ports by the RAID drives and find you have problems using the new hard disk, you will need to plug it into the port of the first or second, depending on which is not used by the DVD/CD drive.  The RAID drives are not normally affected by this problem because they are managed by the ROM of RAID Intel and the computer does not see them as a SATA hard drive.

• Dell Dimension 9200. The orange light flashes. Power disconnect day + this market but stop and it will not work unless that unplugged for a day

  Flashes orange and no lights on the front panel next to the USB ports. (see amber light on motherboard, power button / stop 15 sec + he disappears, but the computer does not start, a few times the fan turned on couple seconds), initially it used to go in the cycle (starts for about 3-5 seconds and stops) several times and the flashing yellow light.

  If I unplug the power cord for a day + and try, it worked, stop and restart immediately worked too but when I shutdown and come after a few hours, it will not start again (power plugged).
  Disconnect the power supply for a day + new and it worked once tried.

  I did the reset by pressing the power button / 15 sec + but no luck. Until a day + unplugged worked so far about three times will try again tomorrow and see what happens if I don't stop the computer ever.

  What a PSU or of the motherboard problem or some other problem? Hope it can be fixed.

  A flashing orange power LED, usually indicates a power supply problem power, given the age of the Dimension 9200, which is highly likely.

  Try to replace the power supply with a power supply of labour "Known", to see if that makes a difference.

  This system does not use an exclusive power of Dell, you can install most power supply ATX with a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard and this can be purchased in most local computer stores, or online.

  The 9200 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be installed.

  Note: You need a PSU with six SATA power connectors.

  Otherwise, you can buy a refurbished Dell OEM [Dell P/N KH624] 375w PSU from here:

• CPU Upgrade Dimension 9200 tips

  I have a Dimension 9200 - rising a Dual Core Cpu E6400
  I can spend an E6700 (dual-core) or a Q6700 (quad core)

  A few tools I use (visual studio) could benefit from multi core, so obvious choice would be Q6700

  Energy consumption should not be a problem. I'm getting a video card without a fan (Sapphire Radeon HD 5670) which consumes much less then the nvidia card initially installed.

  I am especially worried about the heat. Have a fan video card means there is less air flow

  E6700 would be a safer choice him consume the same power as E6400, so I don't expect any significant temperature increase.

  Because they are so cheap I'll probably buy both cpu and just try, but what would you advice? Could ba heating problem or should I go safely to a Q6700?

  Thank you, Pat

  EKT-community

  The Dimension 9200 is compatible with either processors Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66 GHz in size until, or Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66 GHz, your choice.

  I doubt you'll see a lot of performance change by substituting the E6400, with an E6700.

  Heat should not be a problem with either.

  But, before installing a processor, check that you have the BIOS version 2.5.1 or a newer version, when the new CPU supported has been added.

• Dimension 9200 upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7

  I upgrade my Dimension 9200 to Windows 7 using a clean install - does not save anything to the old XP operating system. Windows Upgrade Advisor gave a certificate of good health, but has suggested a post-installation connection network driver update which went well. The upgrade took place without any obvious problem, but performance is very slow.

  My system has the Core Duo 2.13 GHz processor and 2 GB PC2 - 5300 667 MHz RAM and 160 GB of hard disk with a single partition.  I guess I could add an another 2 GB of memory, but do not know how much performance improvement which would provide.

  I made a mistake in installing Windows 7 64 bit instead of 32-bit?  If so is it possible to downgrade to 32 bit?

  Decommissioning for 32 bit OS will DEGRADE the performance and not allow windows to use more than 3.5 GB of ram.

  64 bit OS runs faster than the 32-bit os.

  There is a view Option in windows to NOT SHOW EMPTY DRIVE of DISCS.  There will be no icons unless a real card.

  There is also a setting in BIOS that DISABLES the FLEX BAY which is what the reader is connected.

• Dell dimension 9200 2 and lights 1-2-3 short beeps

  Hello

  I have a Dimension 9200 bought around 2008. About 3 weeks, I started having issues getting started, until the computer wouldn't start. Lights said a bad video card, so I took out the card nvidia 260 and put the original video card in and the computer worked OK with the original video card. After another week or two, would not start the computer. I bought a used motherboard and succeeded him. When I turned on the computer, I had 2 short beeps and 1-2-3 on on the Panel. The seller knew what was up, then I sent the motherboard back and got a replacement of the replacement card is in it, but it still gives me 2 short beeps and 1-2-3 is turned on. The power led is constantly Green

  While these beeps and lights mean together?

  Thank you.

  Frank

  Beep codes should be in groups of three, separated by a short break, for example, 1-pause-1-pause-1. So if you hear 2 beeps, who is not useful.

  Version of Windows?

  According to the Manual, G-G-G-(off) means "another failure", and:

  1. Ensure that all disk and CD/DVD cables are properly connected to the system board
  2. If there is an error message on your screen to identify a problem with a device (for example, floppy drive or hard drive), check the device to ensure that it works correctly
  3. If the operating system is trying to boot from a device (for example, floppy drive or hard drive), check the system configuration (see to make sure that the boot sequence is correct for the devices installed on your computer.

  While everything is done, and you are sure that everything is installed properly and cables connected properly, remove the battery from the motherboard and the power button press / hold for about 30 seconds before reinstalling the battery. Then see if it boots with only mouse, screen and keyboard connected.

  If still no go, you will have to strip to a minimum by removing all PCI cards, except known working video card all modules in memory except the one in slot 1, disconnect all drives except boot the disk hard, etc.. Do the "battery thing"and see if it boots now...»

• Dimension 9200 to the Intel Q6700 processor upgrade

• Portege M700 - problem with Dynadock

  I can not change the resolution on a screen connected Dynadock and cannot save the display settings of all - how to fix this?

  I have a Portege M700 running Vista Professional SP1 - mainly the machine is used as a desktop replacement, connected to a screen Viewsonic 19 "wide through the Dynadock DVI - when it is connected so I have the laptop screen is off and use only the Viewsonic at a resolution of 1440 x 900. I had been bothered by the fact that whenever the resumption of the screensaver, the resolution would drop down to some lower State (I was not able to identify the dimensions he thought he was using but probably 1280 x 800, the default resolution of the internal display).

  I tried to solve this problem with the technical support level 3 without success. I thought I was smart and try to install the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver update that is located on the Intel Web site (if you're just trying to install this software, Vista won't let you, but if you unzip it and manually update the drivers it works). This resulted in the connected screen Dynadock is off completely - no signal! So I uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled the drivers Intel original, but now, I have no the ability to adjust the resolution on the Dynadock login screen - and it is defaulting to something that's not going to (too broad and not high enough)!

  I lived several cycles to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the graphics card (Mobile Intel 965 chipset) and the Dynadock; I updated the drivers Dynadock with the latest download from the website of DisplayLink, tried all sorts of drivers for the monitors associated with DisplayLink, tried several restorations system (which have all failed, which was also quite disturbing but less than an immediate concern), etc. Through all this, there is absolutely no way to choose the correct resolution of the screen through the display properties (my choices are 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 800), and even simply activate an additional screen translates to nothing happens - the new settings do not stay after hitting "Accept" or "OK". I thought that I had licked when I realized that I had to uncheck "Extend to this monitor box office" to screen internal laptop - indeed I was then able to choose 1440 x 900 for the Viewsonic and everything was good, but everything came back after reboot. Of course, now when I try to repeat, I am unable to uncheck this box not more for the internal screen (well, actually, I can uncheck, but when I hit "apply" or "OK" it simply gets selected again).

  All this comes after I spent weeks trying to get this machine to work with the port replicator, which also did not work - a problem that appears to be from an incompatibility with Vista display card drivers and the port replicator (would have been nice if it sales had told me that when I bought the thing, but I digress...)

  In any case, it seems, as it is a Vista problem, I've seen this question asked of other portable devices vista and displaylink other advice, but I know it's possible to have a working reasonably OK solution since I've had one before I went and it messed up trying to work perfectly. Serves me right for spend 3 k $ on a machine and expected that it works as described, I guess. If anyone has any ideas... my next step is probably a downgrade to XP Pro, and then if that does not work, I'm tempted to break into pieces. Or, if someone's figured out how to get the port replicator to work with a M700 Vista, which is actually a better option for me...

  Hello Tony

  It's a very long story, but I use Portege M700 with Dynadock DVI (PA3542Y1PRP) and have no problem at all. After reading your ad I tried changing all the display options and I didn t notice something strange. It works well.

  Read your ad I see you tried to install different things and I wonder not to have so many problems. The best solution for you is to install the new OS using recovery image. Do the clean install of OS and install later Dynadock Utility 2.3 c. be careful while installation is running and do not interrupt the procedure of facilities. Make sure that all software components are installed correctly.

  When you start installation Dynadock Utility Dynacock can not be connected. When you see the window where you will be asked to connect Audio device USB connect the Dynadock to the USB port of your favorite. I use the USB port on the back.

  I use the external display to monitor LCD 22 with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. In the settings screen is display number three and when I click on it I can set the resolution to the maximum level (native resolution). The image is perfect.

  I tried the same as you:
  -Set the external display as primary monitor (for computer laptop LCD was OFF)
  -J' have enabled screen saver and tested several times, but the resolution is always the same no changes at all the
  -With these settings, I rebooted the phone several times as well as the resolution was still the same no problem at all

  After reboot, I can see the image on the notebook LCD only, to the point where I have to write the password that I can see the same image on laptop LCD and external monitor. A few seconds later, the image is switched on external monitor only and it is the same thing you want to have. The resolution is the same again (native resolution). No change at all and all seems OK.

  At the end I've switched back to the LCD display only. It is also interesting to procedure. As a first step, you click on display number one and activate extended desktop. After that, you will be able to use the option to change the primary monitor. A little strange to me, but OK.

  So everything works well for me and for you I only see an option. Reinstall Vista, install new utility Dynadock (new installations) and test again.
  One last thing: do not connect Dynadock on different USB ports. Use always the same.

  Bye and good luck!
