    Thank you!

    Hello

    If you have a product key on a sticker in your computer, this means that you have an OEM product key. If you have OEM keys, this means that the windows you have here is preinstalled.

    If you reinstall windows OEM copy, you must use either the original manufacturer recovery disk or the recovery partition. If you use one of the people, should not be put to any start-up because the windows OEM versions are technically preactivated.

    If you don't have a disc or a recovery partition, you can contact your OEM (DELL) so that they can send you a disk. Alternatively, you can contact Microsoft Support just in case. : D

  • Inspiron 1720 WXGA upgrade to WUXGA

    I want to update some of my components on my laptop. I have the Inspiron 1720 with the WXGA screen, I want to know if I can improve it for the WXGA. If it is possible, will it take a new inverter Board? Thanks in advance.

    Indeed, will need you a new Panel and inverter, plus a new cable LVDS (the cable that connects the motherboard and display within the system board).

    Given the age of the system, expect a decline as well major performance (higher resolution screen will require much more GPU power to run).

  • Disable TouchPad on Dell Inspiron 1720 - Vista Home Premium

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop and I would like to disable the touchpad so that I can move the cursor of the mouse only.

    Why? One wonders...  I can type text, when suddenly, the cursor will jump and I tap on the line above on the previous text. This has happened before, when I had first PC, and I've sorted it by disabling the touchpad. However, I have re installed the OS, etc, and everything must be reset to zero.

    2 years on I forgot how do. I tried Panel Manager and control device, but he can't get by on this machine. The system is Vista Home Premium, if it is of no relevance.

  • Inspiron 1720 on XP no sound or bluetooth

    Hello

    I have an Inspiron 1720 provided with Vista, which I hated, so I installed XP. Now I can't the sounds or bluetooth drivers to install. It came with a cd of Audigy Advanced MB, which indicates that it can only install on Vista. Drivers Dell Online has a Sigmatel STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio driver for Vista and XP, that will not install. Install the XP version falls down. Similar situation with the bluetooth driver, but there is no line, just a version of Vista that will not install XP version.

    Any help much appreciated.


  • Performance issues on Inspiron 1720

    In recent weeks, I am the proud owner of an Inspiron 1720. While I'm very happy with the laptop - I think even my sales office for the moment - there is a problem I have on audio.

    Whenever I'm playing music, this either using Winamp or Media Player, I'm starting to have serious performance problems. Applications suddenly stop responding or respond to a slow pace, and the strange thing is that these performance problems disappear as soon as stops audio playback. For example, if a windows unresponsive, I simply hit the hotkey "stop" or "pause", stops audio, and a fraction of a second performance shoots through the roof again.

    I use Vista Home Premium SP1 and the latest drivers available on the Dell site. It is not related to SP1 by the way, I have experienced the problem before the update to SP1 as well.

    A short diagnosis:

    • Manager tasks does no spikes in usage of CPU or memory that are worth noting.
    • It is also obviously not related to the audio player that I use for the Winamp and WMP have the problem. Memory of Winamp, use exceeds 10 megabytes - and its often much less than that.
    • Strange as it may be: the problem does not occur when that I consult a movie DivX by WMP. Can it be linked to an audio codec any?

    That's as much information as I am able to provide at present. Someone at - it tips or ideas on how to solve this puzzle?


  • Inspiron 1720 with sigmatel audio

    Inspiron 1720 with Vista Home Premium which has audio Sigmatel.

    I hope someone has some tips that can help me. I try to use either Gamevoice/VoiceBuddy for adding voice command to my games.

    Unfortunately, the Gamevoice software tells me my audio equipment is unable to read and if you use the microphone Voicebuddy does not initialize. In this case, if I use the built-in microphone or a headset.

    I tried to upgrade to the latest Sigmatel drivers, without success. In fact they caused me problems of development and I had to back off.

    Cannot give more information at the moment because I'm at work. But if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I will update this with more hardware and driver details after I go home.

  • Windows Vista do not install on Inspiron 1720

    Today I received my new Inspiron 1720.

    Intel C2D T9300 (2.5 ghz)

    4 GB of ram

    GForce 8600 m GT

    hard drives 2 * 250gbyte

    That's how the day passed by.

    -Obtained the computer. The cable is plugged in and he started upward. Everything worked normally and I made a user on the computer, etc..

    -Played around with it a bit and was installing updates and all of a sudden he hung up and stoped working.

    -J' I waited for an hour in the hope of nothing to take, but to no avail nothing happened. So I hold the powerbutton to restart.

    -When I started it again it was taking ages to start and then he says that he had to repair the hard drive.

    -J' waited for about 1 hour and there was no progress. So I decided to reinstall completely windows vista Home Premium, had not installed anything anyway. When I did the installation of the new I formatted all partitions of a large more logic a disk 0.

    -After the installation was made, I have set user settings, etc. And then I put in the CD Drivers and Utilities and enabled it to AutoRun the CD. and then he hung up again. and once again the previous thing.

    I tried solving the problems with the self-test on support thing and it did not help.

    He showed me an errormessage with something like 2000-0142.

    I can't install direct media, which gives me an error.

    If I insert the Vista disc and choose repair I see not all disks, so I downloaded drivers for HARD drive, but I get like 10 different choices and I don't know which one to choose, and they all fail to install anyway.

    For now, I'm trying to install a third, but I guess it's just failed again.

    And also if I press F6 during the instalation of choose the sata drive and choose where I put it after the download. He finds her, and I select. Then when I press OK the disapear internal hard drives from the list and only the USB drive where the drivers is left.

    Help, please. I searched the forums for at least 3 hours and I have not found anything similar.

    All I want is that it works normally. For the moment, I can only for use like 5-10 minutes until it breaks down and needs to be reinstalled.

  • Inspiron 1720 to HDTV

    Hello

    I have an Inspiron 1720 [Windows Vista] with a 256 MB GeForce 8600 M GT. Unfortunately, the 1720 has no DVI or HDMI ports, so I'm stuck with VGA. My Philips LCD 42 "doesn't have a VGA and HDMI and component. So, what would be the best way to connect my laptop to the TV?

    The VGA/DVI and VGA/HDMI converters are very expensive, so I would rather not this way.

    I've been watching the cables that connect VGA to component. What a VGA/DVI adapter, then a DVI cable to HDMI? Help, please
