Problems with Dell Factory Image Restore - Dell Inspiron 1564 - Windows 7 Home Premium

Hello

My laptop (Dell Inspiron 1564 - Windows 7 Home Premium) slowed down a few days ago and I decided to restore the system to Dell Factory Image. The process started but stopped at most of halfway and gave the following message: "unable to apply the Image. I rebooted the system, but it would now not start, not even in safe mode! Perhaps, during the process of restoring a few essential Windows files have been erased.

I want to restore the Image of Dell and can not reinstall Windows because I lost the product key of my Windows 7 original installation DVD provided by Dell at the time of the purchase of the laptop. Your help / advice is solicited and would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. The system recovery Partition is intact and has factory.wim and other related directories / files intact.

If you use the Windows 7 Home Premium DVD Dell reinstallation it will automatically apply the Dell OEM SLP activation. In short, a product key is entered from the DVD and active if and only if the BIOS is validated by Dell to perform Windows 7. Therefore, you do not have the key 25-digit number on the certificate of authenticity. If you want to know the code then look under the battery.

  • Recent problem with very slow internet browsing on all browsers Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

    Separated from this thread.

    Hi all I'm having the same issues as Theresa in the thread above split. I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit service Pack 2 with all the installed updates (automatically done!).  Within 3 months, this PC at home that was formerly an excellent navigation device became very slow when you browse using IE, Firefox or Chrome. It takes 30 to 50 seconds to load any web page (Yahoo, eBay, etc.). I followed all the instructions suggested to Theresa in SafeMode by Bill Smithers. Resulted in nothing other than a few cookies and Wetherbug I killed. I also run McAfee total protection and Spybot S & D every 3 days with nothing found.

    I have reset my browsers to the specifications of the factory without change.

    Comcast is my internet provider high speed and my speedtest returns 65 - 75 MB/s download and 11 Mbit/s upload very regularly. I connect directly to the bridge. I had Comcast out and they swapped unity Arris of a unit of Cisco beefier but that changes nothing. Other devices on my network domestic perform very well and do not have this problem.

    When I browse a site the CPU spikes up to 88% use in 45 seconds and is stable at 50% usage 1.7 GB memory.

    The only thing I can infer is at this time that something happened to the operating system during automatic updates or some other setting has been changed.  I could use any help or suggestions you may have! Otherwise, I love this OS and have not had any problems. Thanks, Dhoffa

  • When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo.

    Re-installing Dell inspiron 19 has windows 7

    People,

    I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc.  Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".

    When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo.  A few pixels logo show and then it's there.  Any ideas?  I worked on it for several days.  Really a "stumper" for me and I did something like that for years!

    Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer.  After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

  • Error Code 5 on Inspiron 1501 Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit WinPhlash more battery issue

    Hi all...

    I installed a FRESH install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on an Inspiron 1501 w / an AMD Turion64 Processor...

    I know that I have will have limited support of drivers (I think I have this issued... problem) but my current bios is 1.4.0 and I try to install the newest bios...

    When I run WinPhlash it starts... but then, I get the error:

    Cannot load the C:\Users\Inspiron1501\Downloads\drivers driver

    a16 downloads\2.6.3 bios\PHLASHNT. SYS

    Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privileges,

    Please log in again!

    Access is denied.

    Error code: 5

    I have only ONE user on the laptop... and admin priv!

    Also... I'm having a battery issue... I was wondering if I missed a previous agreement on this issue...

    When I start the system... it shows my battery as being 0% and fill... but when I eject battery and reinstall, it shows then the battery is @ full load, and the battery holds its charge!

    THANK YOU ALL! ANY help would be great!

    JUST an info... It WAS a matter of having the 64-bit o/s installed...

    I installed the 32-bit system and managed to update bios!

    BUT the NEW bios do NOT take the battery problem! It is a separate issue, so I'll look elsewhere.

  • Problem with Dell Inspiron 1545 integrated Webcam

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 with a built-in webcam. It came with Vista but I upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit. The webcam used to work at the beginning. I don't know why but one day it stopped working and never worked more. I looked everywhere on the internet means and tried a lot of ways, and it still does not work. Device Manager identifies as "Unknown device" and identifies it as a USB Bus controller. I tried to uninstall it and always allow to detect, but it detects as unknown device. I also tried to reinstall the driver, the vista one because it doesn't have a windows 7 one. What this did was uninstall the old and tried to install a new one (which is the same). But the thing is, it does not work. He'll try to install it and then a message saying "an error has occurred in the installation of the driver" or something like that and then it does not work. I ended up having to run the system restore to recover the pilot. I tried many ways and still does not work. Even the average USB cable. I have been using a USB mouse. I even plugged the USB cable in all my USB ports and it did not work. I tried to connect is not in what either too and it does not work either. I can't even ask Dell to help cause there is nothing to support that I can get. And my drivers are all up to date. Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Hi Kakikala,

    Thank you for posting.

    At this point, I suggest you to contact Dell to see if the compatible device in Windows 7.

    If this is the case, they must provide you with a driver that will correctly identify and install the unit.

    You can also ask them if another device, like a USB joystick, needs a driver to be able to identify the material of the webcam and install it correctly.

  • Problem with DELL Inspiron 3521 audio!

    Hello

    I bought this laptop DELL Inspiron 3521 sometimes back and I am facing a problem with the audio. I had the experience that I use only. Audio keeps switching from left to right and sometimes works only on one side. Initially, I thought that it was a problem with my headphones but I tried with several headphones and still I have experienced the same problem. But the speakers of the laptop works very well. Could this be a problem with the audio port? Can someone help me on this.

    Thank you

    Could this be a problem with the audio port?

    Hello, Daniel. How to determine who must pass the native Windows audio driver Realtek audio driver. If you don't have the driver from Realtek, you can get it from the Inspiron 3521 support page.

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the box of Windows search).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If the headphone does not work correctly when you use the Realtek or driver audio native then it's a hardware problem.

    If it works fine with the native driver but not the Realtek driver, then the Realtek driver is buggy. In this case let me know which operating system your laptop and I'll see if there is a Realtek driver different, that you can use.

  • Display problem with Dell Inspiron N5110

    Hello! I'm new!

    This problem became very very very annoying.

    My laptop goes to a smaller resolution (1366 x 768, 800 x 600, approximately) 3 seconds, then returns to the normal (1366 x 768) and made a sound like theres a connection usb and desconnecting, the problem is I know not when, it can change every 10 minutes, every half-hour, at any time at every moment the strange thing is that it can spend days not to change but then it suddenly starts to, it can do so only once or several times, here is a video showing:

    cs_setInnerHtml ('video_ab07b5c3-8224-42ba-9a2e-da700221ecb3', ");

    We see from 0:20

    My laptop has two graphics cards (graphics Intel 3000 and a Nvidia Gt525m) could almost say that the problem is the graphics card Intel because when I disable it stops happening.

    I tried the following:

    -Uninstall two graphics cards (Intel and Nvidia) and install them again

    -Install the latest driver for Intel Graphics 3000
    -Uninstall the driver from Device Manager section - view maps and installing it automatically when the computer mobile restars, after it becomes intstalled (it installs a driver something like "standrad vga adapter"), then I reinstall the driver of intel, but the problem persists.

    -System Restore does not work, I do not have a restore point.

    I used the drivers from the sites official dell intel, nvidia, I used my drivers dvd drive too.

    I thought that maybe some programs, could make the problem, but I don't see what program might be, here's my installed programs:

    Another thing, I formatted my computer laptop about 1 month ago and a half, after formatting, this began to happen after the rare thing that it started happening suddenly.

    This became very annoying, when im trying to play more often.

    Maybe a hardware problem?

    I wouldn't format. I'd appreciate any help.

    If youre telling me that I need to uninstall driver intel restarts my laptop for windows queue install vga driver then go to download the dell Web site and install the nvidia driver?

    Fix. Until you do this, uninstall the driver nVidia from programs and features in Control Panel, restart the computer, THEN Device Manager, expand the drop-down list Display Adapter, right click on the listed adapter and select uninstall. When the warning about removing it, allow the uninstall. Then restart your computer (it will be required and you are prompted for) when windows starts, it will install the generic VGA driver and then navigate to the Dell site support and download your driver nVidia for your model.

  • Power supply problem with Dell Inspiron One 2310

    Hello

    I have a problem with my computer Dell 2310, as far as I can see that the power supply burned out or something similar. Blue bright lighting supply cable indicates that power delivery is correct, but the power light on the power button does not respond.

    I suspect that the power supply is blown and needs to be replaced, I hope that a replacement is available on the list of spare parts and hits on how to properly check if my preliminary diagnosis is correct. I see no reason to suspect problems with the other componentts such as motherboard, memory, disk HARD etc.

    Grateful for advice on how to check my diagnose some material.
