Win 7 Clean Install advice wanted by No Name
I am planning to do a clean install to a new SSD. I have a lot of software on the machine. With items such as Photoshop, Norton, Lightroom and MS Office (retail version, not OEM) should I uninstall the software from the current OS before the clean install? Or will these vendors recognize that...

Toshiba 14" - Nice Price by Boris[_5_]
Hi, I've had a couple of Toshibas in the past, and have been happy with them. I got this one for my wife four months ago, and we are both very happy with it. Normally priced at $800, we found on OfficeDepot for $600 in October, but I had BestBuy price match it because BestBuy will let you try...

6Mb Cache by Ron Hardin
I notice that core-2 duo's with 6Mb L2 cache have completely disappeared from the small business outlet (and probably everywhere else). 3Mb seems to be the max. Smaller cache runs a lot slower for a large scatter-gather RAM use apps. --

Nvidia 3D on an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 by Steve
Hi, My wife has an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 laptop, approx 3 months old. The laptop is capable of showing 3D movies, but you obviously need some 3D glasses to watch them. I've found Nvidia 3D glasses on sale and 3D kits, which contain glasses and an IR emitter. However I have a feeling this laptop...

laptop purchase by RnR[_2_]
I haven't kept up with the Dell laptops lately. My daughter wants to replace her Dell laptop with a new one but wants a decent video card in it. I don't know her budget but I'm guessing $700 or less. Personally I'd prefer her to have windows 7 on this new laptop but she may not care. Any...

XP Home SP1? by Ron Hardin
My Inspiron 2200 has taken up with 20 minute boot times owing to unknown bloatware. I'm thinking of restoring the XP Home sp1 CD, but am not confident that there's an upgrade path to SP3 from there. Is it still possible? -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

Old Vostro AC Adapters by Ron Hardin
After a series of odd power hits, the UPS played safe or got confused enough to shut off power on its output a couple of times. This in turn caused an old Vostro 1500 ac adapter to shut down. In this mode, when power returns, the adapter does not power up. Naturally the laptop then runs the...

Missing on-line documentation by Ben Myers[_4_]
More of a curiosity than anything else, I looked for on-line documentation for any of the Dell Latitude C610, Latitude D810, Inspiron 4100 and Inspiron 8100, kissing cousins that were the last of the Pentium III laptops. For me, they are useless. For someone else, maybe in another country, pretty...

Best WWAN card for M6500? by Justin[_14_]
forgetting about all the other bull**** issues I had... what would be a good WWAN mini-PCI card for a Precision M6500? I figure I'll get an unlocked card no matter what the brand. My intention is to use the prepaid plans just for the data connection.

E5400 monitor by Ron Hardin
I ordered a new display for my Latitude E5400, which apparently had a flourescent light burnout in the display (though you can bounce light off the screen and dimly see what it's doing). The question now is whether to let it keep running as a CPU server since it's been working fine, or shut it...

dell E196FP monitor dying? by yirg.kenya
My dell E196FP monitor dying? It sure looks like it. It's difficult to get the display to come up. I need to recycle the power several times before I can see the display. Otherwise, it's black, black, black. It's been getting worse. Anything I can do, or has it reached the end of its life. I've...

Dell 1545 - boot from SDHC card? by Richard Stephens
I have a two year old Dell Inspiron 1545 notebook computer (Dual Core Pentium, 3gb RAM, 320gb hard drive, Intel graphics). Is it possible to install an OS on an SDXC card and boot from it? I'm thinking about trying the Chrome OS (not the Chrome browser). There's at least one port that can be...

Precision M6600 and Bluetooth Mouse on Windows 7 by Justin[_17_]
A Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse (F298K) Works fine on another machine and even a macbook, but will not stay connected to a $1,200 Precision M6500. I tried replacing the batteries, updating the bios and adding the mouse several times. After updating the bios from A02, to A07 then A12 (can't go from...

Video card problem by SW
Hi Everyone I need some help with a AMD HD 7570 graphics card problem. It isn't found by Windows as an AMD card, it's a Standard VGA adapter. I took a AMD Radeon HD 7570 card out of a new Dell Vostro 420 where it was working fine in Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit with an i5 processor, 4GB RAM, PSU as...

Intel ProSet Wireless on 5000 series cards wedging itself, fix by Ron Hardin
A constant problem for us is Intel wireless geting wedged in an impossible state, which has to be fixed by disabling and reenabling the wireless manually, to restore wireless connectivity. (Dell wireless cards don't have this problem.) It's most likely to be a lock bug in the Intel driver, or...
