Reference Dell with Vista/64 won't go to sleep by himself.
I have a 3-year-old Dell running Vista 64 desktop computer. I've only used the sleep (or hibernation... can't tell them apart) mode manually, using the keyboard command: [Fn] + F2 on this old HP keyboard. It works fine, the machine goes to sleep, to be awakened by the mouse or any key, asking for a password for the connection. Large. But I set Power Options to get the machine going to sleep if she has been preserved for an hour, and he won't. The screensaver comes on after 5 minutes as it should; the monitor turns off after 20 minutes, what is right, but the computer won't go to sleep. What I'm missing here? Thank you very much.
UPDATE: the problem has been resolved. The first reference cited by Robert gives two options: a manual change to the computer (registry?) via start/run and typed in command in the folder C: / / command prompt, or a downloadable "fix" to the millisecond. I had tried the manual, but then returned and did the download. The downloadable patch is obviously more than one manual, and it solved the problem.

XPS from Dell with Vista system
I have a XPS from Dell with Vista system. When the computer enters standby mode, it continues to run and does not respond when you click the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. I have to turn off the computer and then it takes about 20 minutes before it will start up. He must analyze the disc and then says windows is not stopped correctly. So sometimes, I have a blue screen that says that windows has automatically stopped because of an error.
My system is only about 3 weeks. This just started happening. I have not installed any new hardware. Here is a meswsage error I get

I try to repair it with the disc of the MFR., and it will not just for the same reason. If I buy a upgrade of Windows7 drive, will I run into the same problem? The system meets the upgrade limit otherwise.
If the Vista system has problems, it is probably best to do a custom install and replace all.

Reference Dell with windows XP: download the drivers to memeory sticks
Hi, is it possible and down load a driver for HP1510 for windows XP to a memory stick and use it on a DELL laptop that is not connected to the Internet and will never be. DELL cannot read the disc for instalation for Windows 10.
Thanks, DiyDavid...
Yes - drivers from the HP support site are spread generally automatic files to archive with the type of .exe file. Just copy the file .exe on a USB key, that insert into the HP and copy the .exe on a local drive. Then, run the file by clicking right on it and choosing run as administrator.

Laptop Dell with Vista Home Basic... Want to change my OS
I bought a Dell laptop, my choice for OS Vista Basic and Windows 7 64-bit.
Unable to get 64 bit 7 because of a critical driver problem, lack of 3rd-party. I have a XP disc, can I use the product key
for vista OS to activate XP.
Thank you
N °
You can't use the product key for Vista to XP Activation!
Installation of XP instead of Vista:
Come on first, site of the manufacturer of your computer, check to see if your model computer has XP drivers available for it...
If the XP drivers are not available for your model, forget the idea.
If Yes, download and save to a CD or Flash drive.
Then buy a disc XP and license.
Save all your data because it will be lost during the installation of XP.
Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sg_clean.asp
Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.
Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.
See you soon.

Try to get my Centro to Hot Sync with my new Dell with Vista!
I just bought a new computer and assume everything I had to do was download the latest version of Palm Desktop 6.2 and outlook 2007 and plug it in with my USB and click on the hot sync button. I get "driver software for your Palm Treo 680". My phone is a centro (I use a palm Treo 680 USB cord, but it worked on my last computer). It is said, insert the floppy disk provided with your phone, but the disk is not moving the problem at all. Any suggestions?
What version of Vista? 32-bit or 64-bit?
If 64-bit, you cannot synchronize via a cable. There are number of threads of instruction at the top of this section relating to synchronization with Vista64. One possible way is via BlueTooth or Infra-red...

Reference Dell coming 11 Pro won't turn on
It seems to load (the led is on), but when I press the power button / nothing happens. Now, I tried the power button for a duration of measure as well.
I had this problem this morning. Aggravating! Since there is no answer that worked on this dialog box, I have another searched for and found a solution that worked for me at least. If the place does not light, and you know it is charged, press and hold power for 20 seconds, then hold it again for 1 second. It should start normally after that.
