Return or Not. Advice sought by
I took delivery Monday of an outlet xps 600. Its memory went bad early Tuesday. Failed memtest, and failed Dell memory diagnostics. By Wed it would not even boot. New memory (refurbished, whatever that means for memory) came 15 minutes ago. Booted up fine. If the machine passes all of Dells...

No boot with joy stick attached by
I have an odd problem with my new xps 600. If I boot with the Logiteck joy stick plugged into a USB port, the system hangs after bios, right at it normally switches to the starting XP screen. The stick works fine if plugged in after the machine has booted to windows. I uninstalled and...

Outsourcing in India... Reverse it. by
Since outsourcing seems to be here to stay, why hasn't Dell just reversed things... They could build the systems in India, and have the tech support here? UPS and Fed EX would be happy. It would take a month to get your system, but only five minutes to fix it, instead of the other way around.

[Q:]can you turn off auto cd/dvd eject after burn? by
On a Dell XPS 400 with Roxio Creator LE, every time a disc is finished, it automatically ejects the disc. This is very annoying when burning a disc and leaving the computer for hours, because it collects dust while open until I can get back to close it. I know that Nero has an option to not eject...

[Q:]Question about Defragmenting Data Safe HDs by
I've got the Dell XPS400 with the 500gb data safe drive (2 drives in an array in one) 1. When I defragment the C drive, does it also defrag the mirrored hard drive as well? Or, is there something I have to do to defragment it seperately? 2. Does the D drive (where norton ghost saves its backup)...

[q] media center not finding songs on xps400 by
My media center worked fine for a while, but now it has somehow "lost" the songs that i had. I do use ipod, and i don't know if that is somehow taking control of the songs, but they are still in the same location on my hard drive, and i've told media center where they are, but when they search...

Dell Latitude D820 --- College machine? by
I am about to buy a machine for my daughter who is off to college. The D820 seems to be a reasonable fit, not wildly heavy, but with a 15.4 screen and built in optical drive. Does anyone have opinions about it? Also a question: Under ports it lists "1394", which I assume is a firewire (4pin)...

Question about hard drive partitioning by
I have a 500gb hard drive. Will it operate any more efficiently if I create a small partition for programs, and a large partition for data? Or, several partitions for data...? I figure two seperate hard drives would be better, but if I only have one, am I better off leaving it as one...

Bad and Good from Dell by
Last week I ordered an XPS 600 via outlet. After it shipped I ordered two 2405 flat panels to go with it, and to sync deliveries I paid $47 for 2nd day. When I got the tracking numbers the monitors had been sent ground. That is the bad. The good is that I called Customer Service, and in less...

Dell Dimension L1000R by
Well I tried Dell support, what a bunch of idiots, I'd swear they just cut and paste a few irrelevant paragraphs and pronounce the problem solved. Maybe someone here has seen this. I've got a Dimension L1000R, it wasn't in use so I can't say if what I'm seeing is new or was always there. I did a...

GX110 - trying to add a CD-ROM drive - getting "Unrecognized Device" by
I have a pair of the small GX110/733s and they do indeed use the laptop style CD drives. I've replaced both of the ones I have and the last one was $12 shipped (Ebay). Not too shabby for a kids computer. Andy
