Vista to XP on an Inspiron 1525
I recently bought an Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Premium as the operating system. I week now, I realize I really undesirable the OS Vista and install XP. I have a copy of XP Professional, but when I get the computer to boot from it, after copying a loading drivers installation of systematic controls for saying that I don't have a hard drive, and she cannot continue!
Research on this forum, I see that other people have had this problem on other Inspiron models, but all had to happen on an Inspiron 1525?

Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .
original title: Wireless problems after install.I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help
Question... You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?
While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.
You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included. This could be a hardware problem PURE.

Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista
Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista. It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.
Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware". There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.
I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.
My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad! So frustrating. I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post. Someone help me please! That's four times now.
I thought about it!
Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst. He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left. After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click". _ Yes!
Thanks for all your help, man. I really appreciate it. It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others. Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

Today, I've been using Microsoft Word and again once it froze while I was in the middle of a project. I used a registry cleaner from the Microsoft One Care and the problem still persists. I am currently in safe mode now and it still froze, but I'll let it be by itself and see if it freezes or not. I don't know what I have to do. Is - it there anyway anyone can help me out here and point me in the right direction?

Unable to connect to a wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista
I set up a wireless about a week ago and have done with the following security features: WEP, activate only certain MAC address to connect and disabled to broadcast the SSID. I was able to use it very well with my Mac computer using the airport, but when I tried to connect my roommates, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista computer, it can not connect. I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for a Windows cannot connect to the network and that the wireless link has failed for unknown reasons. He then said to contact your administrator, but it's me. I have a basic knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and basically know what I'm going along. If anyone has any advice for me, my roommate and I'll be very grateful.
Thank you

Too bad. Apparently, I got the wrong MAC address. I am now connected.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version that was working fine until recently. Now, whenever I try to open a file or use whatever it is, it seems stuck with the ROAR - once an hourglass on the old computer - and nothing happens. The only way I can get out of everything I tried to do is to turn off and restart. Next, I get the message that he has was not shut down normally, etc., and it takes forever to get up. Then the whole again. I really want to this time just download all my files on an external hard drive so I can get a new computer, but it will not let me even copy / paste a single file without getting bogged down. Control Alt Delete even let me get into the Task Manager to stop the programme of work. Please help me.
