Windows 7 on Optiplex GX260
{{{Be forwarned: I'm a fool to technology}}}
My parents recently bought this for us desktop computer in a local thirft shop and loading Windows 7 on it. But, I'm having a few problems. I would like to check the compatibility of Windows 7 here, but... I can't load!
What seems to be the main problem is that I can not reset the screen resolution. All the icons are huge and my new printer drivers not be loading not with this resolution (duh) pages do not appear as they are supposed to.
In my humble and all opinion to fact largely uneducated, I think it's a RAM problem. This computer simply do not have enough to make the graphics properly. If in fact this is the case, it's a simple popping in more RAM solution, until the capacity is reached?
Thank you in advance.
I installed Windows 7 on several GX260 and gx270s PCs. To correct the problem resolution screen go into the bios and change the video buffer Onboard integrated devices (LegacySelect Options) from 1 MB to 8 MB.

Dell OptiPlex GX260 RAM maximum
Hello people!
I have a Dell OptiPlex GX260 desktop computer with serviceADMIN NOTEnumber: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >. It's a PC refurbished that my sister bought from our office many years ago. I want to ask you what is the maximum RAM that can be upgraded to? When I went through the manual years, if I'm not mistaken, I read that its maximum RAM is 2 GB. But I don't know if my memory is good. I intend to upgrade the RAM, and I want a bit more than 2 GB. By example, if I have improved his more than 2 GB RAM (if that's the correct maximum RAM for my model), what will happen? It will damage something on board? Or it will make the System unstable?
Thank you.

I am going through the help pages, but do not receive a lot of help. I used the window network, set up several times and it doesn't give me a single connection and even will not create a second try. It's 1394 connection. I click Repair and he says: "failed to query TCP/IP connection parameters. Cannot continue. »
I normally work with unix/linux, windows do not know. Carrying high that IE gives me the generic, the page cannot be displayed error. It goes right to that error, does not even attempt verify an active connection.
I have one router with 3 other systems connected and working, so I know that the problem is specific to this host.Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
DarrenJust as with * nix, if you want a hardware device to communicate with the operating system - you must install the appropriate drivers so that they can talk to each other.
At this point, you are trying to use a firewire connection (1394) to your network. ;-)
What you need to do is quite simple - but will probably require the use of another machine (or another OS already on the machine that runs on Internet) at least for the first downloads (the motherboard chipset and the NIC driver).
If you visit the Dell technical support & downloads from the website for this particular desktop , you will see all the drivers that Dell provides for the system using Windows XP.
Dell offers you download and install the drivers in this order:
- Chipset
- Video adapter
- (NIC) Network Interface Card
- Audio adapter
- Modem
- Wireless network card
- Touchpad, pointer, pointing button, mouse and keyboards
- Other devices
In this case, I suggest that download you the chipset driver and network card driver - get first install them in this order with some necessary reboots, then you should be able to configure Internet and get other drivers using the machine itself.

If you run Windows XP, there is no Audio endpoint Builder Service.
It is only in Vista, Windows 7 and Windows next, 8.

New Windows 7 install OptiPlex 745
Hello
I have loaded win 7 pro 64-bit on my 745. Has made the custom which wiped the disc. The load has frozen several times but managed to raise and go through the settings. I have 2 GB of memory. No additional card plugged everything flowing from the motherboard. He comes to the desk top and the video is very good until I have try to go to all programs, and then it flashes different colors and does not return.
Works well with xp runs all day, as well in Windows 7 safe mode. Think not this is a problem of connection or a monitor. I have no restore points, it could be a driver problem and if so could you give me a starting point.
Thanks Mike
Dell does not support Win 7 on the 745, so you'll have to dig for the drivers.
Dell 64-bit Vista drivers can -or not - work with Win 7 64 bit.
See if you can find a Win 7 64 bit driver for the right Intel chipset and Intel Q963\Q965\G965 graphics controller on the Intel download site.
If you also want to install a video card, you will need to go to the site for any video card you have (for example, AMD) and look for a Win 7 64 bit driver for this specific card.
You can download the drivers on any PC and transfer on the 745 desktop and install mode without failure. Then restart normally.

original title: How do I uninstall windows vista
Hello
You will need to contact Dell about this and see if they still have an XP CD to sell you to reinstall XP
IF Dell still have an XP disk available for this model, you will then need to clean install XP to replace Vista as an operating system.
Here are a few Dell informatiion on this computer model:

shortcuts __desktop won't open the window maximum size
How can I get my desktop shortcuts to open in maximum size? I pulled the display open maximum size according to the instructions, but nothing helped. IE will open allright, as well as windows, chosen among the Favorites, but the desktop icons will open in the small size. It just happened the other day - so far there, they opened very well. Is there something I can do?
What version of Internet Explorer you are running?
Have you updated and scanned with your anti-virus and anti-malware programs? You may have picked up a bug that could be causing your problem.
When you tried the suggestions we have made, you first close all windows? Click on an icon of shortcut that opens minimized, drag, stretch (or any method you try) at full size. Select file-exit. If this does not work, I am ideas.
