• Vista wireless slowed after Windows update

  The operation wireless computer laptop HP Pavilion of my wife was slower than fishing for a month of October or November Vista update.  He was always pretty slow but now is horrible.  I tried many fixes, updates to the wireless card, hit the Max performance and played with several ideas for changing the configuration.  None have seemed help so I reset the settings before configuration changes.  I have no option to reset to get back before the update.

  LAN works fast and the internet connection is good.  A portable older IBM using XP smoke HP in wireless mode.
  Thanks to all the ideas?

  Hello

  Sorry for the late reply. From your description, it seems that your wireless network connection is too slow since the installation of Windows updates. It is difficult to manage when things do not work as expected.

  • Do you know what update has been installed?

  Since you've already tried to fix the problem, I think can help to uninstall and reinstall the wireless network drivers. To do this, follow these steps.

  1. Click Start and then type devmgmt.mscand press enter. The Device Manager window opens.
  2. Expand network adapter.
  3. Right-click on the wireless network card, and then select Uninstall.
  4. Restart the computer.
  5. Download and install the latest drivers wireless on the manufacturer's Web site.

  Also, see this article for your reference. If the problem persists, please respond so we can search for other opportunities.

  Thank you

• Restore using the recovery disks on Inspiron 15 3521 supplied with Windows 8 Pro. Question on the recovery partition.

  I created by the user recovery disks.  I created them the day I got the computer and he made three of them.  My brother has deleted my recovery partition just now.  My question is, if I resumed my Inspiron 15 3521 using three recovery disks that I created, be it recreate the recovery partition in the process?   I just need an answer to this question, not responses indicating that, if I have the disks, I don't need the recovery partition, why would I want the recovery partition if I have the drive, etc.  I would like to just a simple answer to the question.  If I use the recovery discs, it will recreate the partition recovery with all the info, she was in it when I got to the computer?  Once the recovery is completed from disks, will be that recovery partition be there as the day I got the computer, so if I wanted to (I don't want to, but I'm just a question) I could still create the recovery of her discs?  Basically, the computer will be exactly as it was the day I got it home, recover partition and everything?  Or, it will restore the computer to the new plant, but not to re-create the recovery partition with everything she had in it the day I got it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it will be if you select the correct option.

  See these videos:

  Recovery of factory - "deletes all data and resets the Partitions.

  Updating of the factory - "Only restores the System Partition and keep other Partition content".

  It might be good for you to ask a Windows OS DVD 8.0/8.1 just in case the recovery media works however.

• Inspiron 15 (3521) Wireless 'limited'... but only in some places!

  I spent days trying to solve this problem on this laptop. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my son, to see that he had a problem with wifi connectivity. What is crazy is that he connects perfectly to my home router and will link perfectly with two coffee shops/bakeries different, that I used for the test yesterday. But a local Starbucks and my place of work son (who is also a public hotspot) it shows only a "limited" connection, and you get no Internet access. I was also told that he could see and connect to his iPhone in the mode of 'hotspot' or whatever, but could not access the Internet through that either.

  Basics: Inspiron 15 (3421), Windows 8 x 64 clean install, as well as all current Dell (from the Dell site) pilots.

  FWIW, I trained as a long tech with computers and laptops, so I have no problem get on and check or reset things. As I said, it has all the latest drivers Dell for everything on it, including the most recent (as of today ' hui) wireless pilot of 1704. Also, I read several messages of the forum by other similar problems, so I've seen many things suggested trying to fix wifi connectivity issues (set it to maximum performance, do not let the system turn off the power, etc.). I check always positions for other ideas, but it is frustrating having to work here at home and need to run up to a Starbucks to see if it is fixed or still flaky.

  Despite this, it seems to me that proof that it connects perfectly to some hotspot routers and my AT & T Home wifi router makes it quite clear that the material is fine. He sees all routers for hotspot and lists their names and it can / connect and obtain an IP (checked via "ipconfig/all"). So I think that the cell/wlan computer hardware is functional, but there is something wrong with the drivers or some parameter that is on or off, or incorrectly, which simply communicates properly with some hotspot routers or configurations... as the "Google Starbucks' in the street hotspot generic.

  I think now that Dell must have a very good idea what is the problem, even if they are not widely publicize for some reason any. But I would like to know what could do this thing not to connect to some very public hotspot routers and be just fine to connect to others. Get that something in the laptop that makes too strict or more specific, such as maybe the older routers do not work.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you...

  I can certainly understand the frustration. It is clear to me, after a week of trying to figure out what not to everyone connection problem was the same as mine, but I don't think that what I found was something that should have been to the top of the list of troubleshooting steps. It was a thing of hands down which would prevent all internet connectivity in certain circumstances... but would work in other... and is not obvious to most people - especially considering the info below:

  Tonight that I went back to a different s Starbuck to check that she was now working to each of them. At this Starbuck - which I had been to before - I've always had "limited" connectivity And here, the IP4 network setting was still defective 192.168.1.254 entered DNS, check the box "use the following DNS server address", if I know that I had deleted because things were now works in the other Starbuck. I removed it, but when I returned and reconnected still wouldn't connect... and the DNS entry seems to have made their reappearance. I tried to connect and reconnect, but it would not go beyond limited connectivity.  Then it hit me...

  What I suspect now could be a problem is that if you never tried to connect to the router to a place, and either remembered or choose "auto-connect", it must be store the parameters of this particular network/wi-fi connection. It seems logical in hindsight, but it did not occurred to me that each wi - fi connection you connect to (Starbucks... Bookstore... etc.) can save some network attributes you had put there at the beginning and if they're wrong, you're, well, dazed and confused and that's an understatement. I think that's why my faulty DNS entry was always there for this place.

  So, I finally completely deleted the connection for this Starbucks (i.e. choose "forget this network" in the list of wi - fi) and let it be redétectés cleanly. Now when I chose to connect... bingo! Obtained through the T & C page Starbuck and may finally authenticate and go.

  To reiterate my experience: I had tried all the changes of 'Advanced' settings that so many Dell ' Rockstars said everyone to change - I changed the power settings, strict H, 802. 11 b, 2300, HAND, to THE aggressive, more broad compatibility, blah, blah... changed back, back again. I reinstalled the drivers, drivers of old Win 7 lots borrowed and even tried a few odd Broadcom drivers. Not one of these things makes no difference, but not a rockstar all be suggested that you do not have a wrong DNS server IP in there.
  (Fwiw... I finally settle on the driver WLAN 1708, who has worked and is running in there now, although I think the original pilot of 1704 probably worked all along.)

  The steps:
  1) connect to the router showing 'limited' connectivity... then...
  (2) right click on the icon of wi - fi in the Windows status bar (next to the battery icon) and choose "Open Network and Sharing Center.
  3) double-click the name of the wi - fi on the right (in blue, next to the Green wi - fi bars bit.)
  4) click 'properties '...
  (4) scroll down and double-click "Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) connection
  (5) at the bottom, select "'Obtain DNS server address automatically'... click on 'OK' and you're done.

  You have probably been disconnected anyway, but better to just 'forget this network' for this connection and let it re - detect and reconnect from scratch. Worked for me and I can now connect everywhere.

  Good luck...

• Bluetooth not working not not for Inspiron 15 3521

  Bluetooth doesn't work is not on my new Inspiron 15 3521. Setting up the system - Windows 7 64 bit.

  I put driver from Dell support, but always the same problem. He goes in search mode and nothing else. Cannot detect the laptop bluetooth (phone) device. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  I have the same device too, i.e. inspiron 15 3521. 8.1 Windows 64-bit.

  The bluetooth stopped working after Windows Update and update the drivers were not useful. It gave the error: activate Bluetooth using the wireless switch. For a year or two, I forgot that Bluetooth still existed in my camera. I look at the pathetic for Dell personal here, answers in this forum, was not intended.

  If so many people are facing this problem. I guess that only 10% of them posted in this forum. Dell has not taken this issue seriously.

  Well, now that I have found the SOLUTION. Bluetooth now works like a charm.

  PROCESS:

  1. check the version of the hardware (1703 or 1704 or 1705) bluetooth on your device. Two ways to check:

  a. press "ctrl + x". "In the menu that is displayed, select Device Manager. Click on "Bluetooth." The is drop-down menu. Bluetooth hardware name now. For example, "Bluetooth of Dell Wireless 1705. "Now you know the bluetooth is ' 1705.

  b. visit the Dell Technical Support Web site. Enter your "Service tag". Select "system configuration". Select "Components" drop-down menu. Search for bluetooth. Note the version of the bluetooth hardware. (Note: press 'ctrl + f' you don't find anything on the Web page.)

  2 visit the support technology guide.

  3. Enter "service tag", or select your laptop model.

  4. go in "drivers and downloads".

  5. Select 'Network' Drop-down.

  6. what you need is "without wireless and bluetooth driver". There are two drivers available for this purpose. Since you know your Bluetooth hardware Version (1703 / 1704 / 1705), select the selection. (Note: those who have a (bluetooth 1704 there are two pilots available, if one does not try another.) To do this, click on "other Versions" dropdown, under the head "Dell Wireless 1704 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver.

  7 download the appropriate driver.

  8. install.

  9 make peace.

• No microphone on Dell Inspiron 15 3521

  Hey, I have the Inspiron 15 3521 with windows 8.1 and it does not recognize the internal mic.

  For example when I go to the "speech recognition" and press "Set Up Microphone" I get 3 Options "Micro helmet", 'Desktop Microphone' and 'Other' rather than their work.

  I tried to reinstall the drivers and updating the system but nothing works.

  Help, please.

  Hi.I recently came across this problem. In my case, there was a small piece of rubber protecting the mic only slightly slipped and was covering the microphone. Just lift the cover from the top of the screen and remove the rubber or paste it again into the correct position. It is located to the left of the webcam.

• Problem with my Audio (DELL Inspiron 15 3521)

  Respected by all, I buy all new Dell Inspiron 15 3521 laptop 2 months ago. It was working great. A few days ago, the "Windows updates installed". and then I am facing problem in my Audio. When I start my laptop, within 5 minutes the sound stop working without giving me any message. When I disable Audio and activate again "Device Manager", he began to work, and then it works until the computer is turned off again. When I shut down my laptop and restart. the same problem occurs. I re - install Audio driver, but the problem persists. Please help me in this regard.

  Thank you

  There was a recent update of Windows that causes havoc widespread with audio. I suggest you try the solutions for this first before trying other things. Here are the 2 solutions the members of the forum have reported so far.

  ===========================================================================

  1ST SOLUTION POSSIBLE
  Countiss Forum member wrote that it is because of Microsoft...

  "KB2962407 update, stipulating that she fixed"Shortcut autonomy when an inactive audio device is not turned off on a computer running Windows". ".
  You don't have to do a restore of the system to get rid of updates; easier to go to Windows Update, view update history. On the top of this screen, click installed updates. "Then comes the with button the update you want to uninstall."

  =============================================================================

  2ND SOLUTION POSSIBLE
  Natakuc4 forum Member says update to Windows 8.1 will fix it. He wrote:

  "Ii you still on Windows 8.0." You should switch from 8.0 to 8.1 Windows Windows. See the instructions here:
  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/upgrading-to-Windows-8-1-from-Windows-8-0-via-the-Microsoft-store/
  Uninstall the audio and video drivers before the update. After the update, uninstall the network drivers and chipset and get drivers Windows 8.1 (WB64A).. »

  You can get the drivers that he mentions, either from the support page for your model once you select 8.1 as the operating system in the area of selection, or you can get the Dell ftp server, where they are named 'WB64A' and 'WB32A', which means 8.1 64 bit and 32 bit.

• What laptop to buy dell inspiron 15 3521 or 15 3542?

  Hello! I am a student and I am planning to buy a new laptop for my regular use.

  I'm confused to choose between Dell inspiron 15 3521 and Dell inspiron 3542.

  I know that inspiron 3521 is an and 3542 old product is a new version, but I am impressed by the performance of the battery and the reliability of the inspiron 3521. But I'm skeptical if 3521 will have the warranty and support both as the same as 3542?

  and I found a very few differences between the processors, they have either 3rd gen i3-227u and 4th gen i3-4005u. And windows 8 can be upgraded to 8.1 for free.

  the main reason I am leaning towards 3521 is design and reliability and there 65WH battery were as 3542 is well-bulky and 40Wh battery.

  Please offer me to choose between these two laptops. And I would like to know if the warranty will be the same for both products?

  Hi harrish.1992a,

  It seems that the 3521 is always available on the website of Dell India. The warranty is indicated under the pc as to how much time it is available. The two models seem to offer the same guarantee. You can always call and ask questions about the extended warranty.

• Inspiron 15 3521. Media [Fail] error checking. I just got a new hard drive

  A few days ago my inspiron 15 3521 began to make a noise of rattling and says check media [fail]. So I got a new hard drive. I had the same error message. Trunk luggage, I changed the Boot Manager and put him at the top of the priority list. Dell told me to do. That's all. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Users faced with a similar question have managed to solve this problem by going to the third option in Windows Boot Manager in the UEFI boot menu. There, they performed the next step.

  (1) change option SATA to AHCI technology Rapid Store.

  (2) then when the Windows Boot Manager appears in the menu of UEFI, move Windows Boot Manager to the first position in the list.

  (3) then restore SATA technology Rapid Store.

  (4) exit & save settings.

  (5) reboot.

• Dell Inspiron 15 3521 graphics card

  I just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 3521, that contains the following components:

  -CPU: i3-3227U @ 1.90 GHz + Intel HD Graphics 4000

  -RAM: 4 GB @ 1600 frequency

  - AMD Radeon HD M 8730.

  The laptop came with Ubuntu 12 and I formatted everything; After that, I installed Ultimate SP1 Windows 7 x 64.

  Because I got no CD / DVD with its pilots, I downloaded them via the Dell Support site (choose my specific category) and with a pilot program; First, I installed Intel HD Graphics 4000 and then I restart the laptop. She has worked, good graphics. The latest driver I installed, dell support ( http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-15-3521 - I chose Windows 7 x 64), AMD Radeon HD M 8730 that contains this description:

  This package provides the AMD Radeon HD M 8730 graphics driver and is supported on Inspiron 3 x 21 and 5 x 21 and Vostro 2521 running the following Windows operating systems: Windows 7 and Windows 8.
   
  After I reboot the laptop, when the office was released, the Office had a problem: (flashed) blinked quickly; I tried thousands of possibilities (uninstall it, download it again, uninstall Intel HD Graphics 4000 and first install AMD Radeon HD M 8730 and after that, reinstall the Intel graphics card; I tried a different version of the AMD Radeon graphics driver and no way).
   
  What should I do?

  In fact, the problem came from Intel HD Graphics 4000; If I install the latest driver for this material, part, it won't work (I'm still having this problem with the display flashing); But if I install a version more old Intel HD Graphics 4000 and after that I install AMD Radeon 8730 M driver, it works... Why is this?

• Objects too large for Inspiron mini 10 - Windows XP

  Hi all

  I hope someone can help.

  I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 - Windows XP and I have recently put it in a factory reset just to give it a new impetus because it seems to be runing slowly.  Now that he's back him speede it fine but I have a problem with my screen.  All too big i.e. icons, start button etc.  This means when I have any program up that I have to scroll around.  I changed the zoom level for each individual program but it does not help.  I was in Control Panel and tried to change the screen resoluntion however it only allows me to move from a configuration option to the other, which I think is the solution.

  I didn't have this problem before the factory reset, so I think there must me an easy soluntion I'm not aware of.  Y at - it a disc that I missed off the coast?  I downloaded all updates including windows sent through.  Don't know what to do.

  If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.  Microsofts soluntion was "buy a new PC", not useful!.

  Thank you

  I was in Control Panel and tried to change the resolution of the screen however it only allows me to move from a configuration option to the other, which I think is the solution.

  Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and select Properties.  Then select the tab "settings".  Can you drag the slider under "Screen Resolution" right?  What is the value?

  

  If this does not work...

  Over the years, Dell has had a number of different methods to do a "factory reset", so I don't know what you could have done... but it seems that if you do not reinstall the drivers, in particular, the driver of the video card.

  Go here--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/inspiron-mini10/configuration and either submit your Dell Service number or click on the button "Scan now" to see what drivers you need.
