Vista won't work on dell optiplex sx280?
I just upgraded my pc after going in a pc shop, and the people there said I could update my dell optiplex sx280 computer which has windows xp, windows Vista. They said all I had to do was just to put the DVD in my computer and it will work from there...
So I put in, and the installation seems to work very well, there is no problem, until, AFTER the screen that says something like: keep your computer... (and the points move of one to three) and then it will just empty.
When I turn it on again, it turns on and has windows vista loading thing with green roof bar then and he'll just empty... as the screen is activated, but it is. just nothing...
I am able to fix this? or is it irreparable? I really need to use this pc, cause it runs the network/internet.
If I had to buy windows XP and install it... it still work? My laptop has vista, so I wanted to just the two to have the same system.
:(
You cannot run Vista in this Dell computer model.
Click on the link above: the latest drivers written for your model number are XP drivers.
There is no driver compatible Vista written for her.
Is XP the latest operating system from the Menu drop-down.
Call Dell and ask Dell to you send for your computer model XP Recovery discs to reinstall XP.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

Reference DELL monitor U2414H monitor will not work with DELL Optiplex 755
I can't get my new U2414H monitor to work with my PC Optiplex 755 Ultra small form factor. The PC has a DVI offline andf the monitor has a display port, mini display port & 2 hdmi ports. I tried a display port converter for mini display port, a Display port converter / STANDARD display port. but the screen didn't poster no matter what exit. The PC works with other monitors. Can someone help?
OptiPlex Ultra small form factor:
You should use DVI to HDMI which will make the video, but will not have audio. There is no possibility for a ULTRA-COMPACT HDMI because it has no slots. There is NO display ports any on a 755 ultra-compact.

Vista won't work if I replace my motherboard and cpu, basically building a new computer
I want to replace my 1.6 ghz intel cpu with a faster, but does the vista version came it with computer work or will it ask me for the password for the disk check.

N ° it will not.
The Vista OEM supplied with your PC on your hard drive and on the recovery disk is related to the motherboard. Then... New card mother = new disk under license for Installation of Vista (not free).
If you replace your processor by a more rapid which is compatible with your motherboard there should be no problem at all.

the question.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

No sound on Dell Optiplex gx270s with Windows Vista
Computer: Dell Optiplex gx270s
operating system: Windows Vista
I have no sound on my computer. In the taskbar next to the clock, I have a small red dot with a white cross, which tells me that she is mute. Tried a list of solutions, but so far, nothing seems to help.
I tried many things like
Discover http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems

I tried searching audio drivers in dell.com and could not find the necessary driver because he was not the choice of the operator system of Windows Vista for drivers it were not compatible.
Well, if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you!

I bought Halo 2 for Vista, but who like OS Windows XP Pro, just can't launch the startup.exe, I search the community, there is a rumor that it won't work even with the patch. Can someone help, please?
Unfortunately, Halo 2 does support Windows Vista and more. Windows XP is not supported. There may be 3 party hacks that can make it work, but they are not taken in charge and potentially dangerous.

I have 5 Dell Optiplex GX 620 desktop computers. All are about 5 years old. Had a hard drive failure so I replace the disks C: by secondary SATA disk cloning, disk 1 in the bios. BIOS sees drive when Windows XP on two systems and not on the other three. Have no idea why. All rooms have all the updates of Windows and Dell. A bought WD Caviar Green drives. WD has replaced three with Caviar Black readers and still does not work.
Level 2 support WD had response which was to creat Acronis True Image WD Edition BACK boot CD for the windows version of the software, (that I downloaded on www.wdc.com), boot to a CD and had the disc I cloned then. I wish only the support level 1 guy was aware of this utility.

Form factor of the graphics cards that work with the Dell Optiplex 760 desktop computer?
Hello
So I recently got this Dell OptiPlex 760 desktop form factor that I really like and I would get a video card for it.
It's the desktop form factor. The second largest next to the mini tower. There a 240W (or 250?) food I don't want to change. I would like a GPU that works with a supply of 240 w.
I wish it were less than 60 dollars. I do some light games (Minecraft) and want to join a substantial amount of FPS with this game. Suggestions of the card?
I'll give you more information.
It fits into all THE MODELS except the USFF because USFF has no slots. You will need to remove the flange size and use the version of low profile.
cs_setInnerHtml ('video_9366bb5b-9fda-4cca-bfea-c4ec470df1e3', ");
Maximum power allowed is 25W on low profile units.
It is also why they Print 25W max on the 16 X video slot.
Radeon HD 2400 XT 25 W TDP
Here are valid Dell Low Profile PCI - e 16 X for this chassis - video cards
