j just received the new Dell Latitude E6400. Now i wanted to install a fresh Windows XP incl. SP2 and whilst the installation, after the drivers were loaded a bluescreen appears.
I already have created a slipstream CD with SP3 and the Intel Matrix Storage Drivers, but that doesn't work either.
Has someone already installed XP on that notebook (i guess so). What have you done to make it work?
Dell xps 15z ... I have an issue that the cursor disappears every few seconds whilst typing
To clarify it is the cursor and not the mouse pointer. When you click the mouse the cursor reappears in the right location so its not being moved by trackpad etc.
It appears that the tab/window open become de-active and the cursor disappears.
From time to time the cursor jumps to another line whilst I am typing. This can happen on any software, ie MS word, Hotmail. It can even happen when I am entering a user name and password into any system, for example this forum.
It is very frustrating and some tiesm a simple email can take a long time to type...
I received an Inspiron 17r SE and have had absolutely no technical problems running it. The only thing that i don't understand is why my battery adapter whines whilst in sleep mode. This never occurs when the laptop is shut off or running but only when in sleep. The high pitched whine seems to oscillate with the blinking white light on the front of the laptop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyone else having problems with the SD card reader?
Everytime i plug in an SD card the system Blue Screen's on me. This is running XP. So far iv'e tried these 2 versions of drivers..
v3.54.05
and
v3.51.01
one thing, During trying different drivers I once plugged in my SD card while no drivers were installed, the system still BlueScreened on me.
The first thing I did when getting the system was wipe-off Vista. I dont know if this Ricoh card reader works or not in Vista, but im starting to wonder if I have some sort of hardware problem.
I have a Studio 17 with Vista Home Premium preinstalled. Im trying to install Vista Ultimate 64 bit, and when I boot from the DVD, it says Loading files, than at the end of that it shows me to screen with the Microsoft bar like its going to load windows, but then I immediately get a blue screen with the error irql not equal to or something like that.
I tried disable the flash cache in the BIOS but it still gets the blue screen as soon as it trys to enter the setup screen.
My BIOS is set to ACHI and I have not changed that.
I wanted to try out the 64 bit Vista and still have my 32 bit on it in case I run into some apps that wont run in 64 bit.
anyone have any idea what I need to do? I have a seperate logical partition that I made for the Vista 64 bit. So I have 2 partitions, a C: partition which has the Vista Home on it that came with this laptop and I was hoping to install the 64 bit onto the D: partition but Im getting the blue screen.
Do I need to do anything with the ACHI setting? I have 4 gigs of ram and would like to use it.
i got cod5: waw recently. played only multiplayer so far.
problem: it already crashed three times to a bluescreen.
i tried to change the video driver from 180.42 to stock dell 175.75. same problem.
i used no overclock. atitool off. no background processes.
i guess it is the game, cause i played cod4 for a LONG time and never had this issue. also played through bioshock, farcry2, etc. never a bluescreen there.
This is terrible, by using CPUz i can see that, whilst the laptop is charging, the clock speed drops down to 900mhz and fluctautes between that and 1400mhz, this is shocking, i can hardly watch youtube videos or even post this thread, the lag and slowness is unbearable. When running on battery power the CPU speed shoots up to 2500mhz and stays there,it never seems to go to its turbo speed either. Whilst charging, the laptop is unusabe, i cannot do anything on it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor few months already I am getting irregular bluescreens announcing "Memory Parity Fail" on my FZ11E.. Most of the time it's when the computer has noticeably warmed up but not always. Sometimes there's no crash for weeks and suddenly it's here again and keep coming back several times per day.
My guess would be the memory gets overheated, probably because I upgraded from 2x512MB to a cheap pair of Corsair's 1GB. However I suspect my computer might have a tendency to get too hot by itself even if I keep it on hard surface and always on a Balanced power plan. Memory tests show no errors so I can't know for sure.
The question is, how do I find out if the problem is in RAM or the cooling system? I'm willing to buy a new pair of memory modules but want to make sure it will fix the issue.
CPU: T7100 @ 1.8GHZ x2
RAM: CORSAIR DDR2 1GBB SODIMM 667MHZ CL5
VIDEO: NVIDIA GEFORCE 8400M GT 64MB
OS: WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM
I have a VGN-Z690. I'm trying to install XP on it. It bluescreens before I even get as far as selecting the disc to install XP on - anyone have this experience and a way around it? I've tried four xp install discs.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with a HP Pavilion dv4000. I have tried to repair windows, and I have also installed windows once more (over the current one to secure that no personal files is deleted).
But when starting up it reboots under loading. at the bluescreen it says "unmountable_boot_volume", and the error code is 0x000000ED.
How is the simplest way to fix this without loosing any private files?
Fixboot?
It's Windows XP Home version.
I just did a clean install of my Acer 5101AWLMI with TinyXp removing all partitions, now this has worked fine on all other computers I used it on. But the Acer Laptop comes up with the error message STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78a6528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000), after Windows XP loading screen. I never get to the login or desktop. I have read the [url], but it doesn't help, how am i supposed to get drivers from the manufacturer installed on the laptop when I can't get to the desktop? I have reinstalled and formated several times and even run Spinrite 6.5 to check for harddisk failes, but to no avail!
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently, my x120e began blue-screening (with error code c000021a) while Windows was starting up. However, if the computer was off for a period of time, usually about 5-10 minutes minimum, it would start up with no problems. I thought it might be overheating except for two things:
1) Once windows started up, I had no issues. No matter how much processing power I was using, it didn't bluescreen or even try to turn itself off
2) When I rebooted in safe mode and looked at what modules it was loading, it always failed after the same one (CLASSPNP.SYS)
I had heard that there were occasionally some significant driver issues with my hardware, so I did a clean re-install of Windows (Win 7 Pro, 64-bit), hoping that this would rule that out.
The issue persisted, and in fact would interfere with a Windows install disk booting into the installer. After I got the installation to complete, the previous issue continued to be present.
I did some Google searching and found that the BSOD error code c000021a is generally caused by a driver or security issue, and the usual solutions suggested are to try to use the "Last Known Good Configuration Option" for windows startup, and to update drivers. However, neither of these things have worked, as it still does this on a fresh Windows install.
I also tried running without the battery (AC power only) and without the AC power (battery only), and neither has fixed the issue.
(Side note: This was originally happening with the original 320GB hard disk that came in the machine. I was going to upgrade to an SSD anyway, and this problem has persisted with the new drive).
I received my Dell Studio 1737 only a few hours ago and the immediate problem I've found is that Fn+F10 and the eject soft touch button don't eject a CD whilst in Vista. They work fine in the BIOS or Diagnostics Utility but don't work when the machine boots up into Vista.
BIOS is showing as A04 and the latest available on the Dell Drivers website is A02
im buying a new laptop soon and in order to cut costs i decided to pick up a notebook that is not preinstalled with any OS (it says "free Dos" in the specs) since i already have a copy of windows xp pro and vista home edition at home which i will be installing on it.
now my noobish question is whether or not i will be able to install one of these operating systems or do i need a "special" version of the OS that is designed for the specific notebook in order for it to work as some seller told me? the model is Dell Studio 1537...
I've been looking around the internet, with no luck so far to answer my question. Hoping you can help me out
Anyway, quite some time ago, I purchased a Dell XPS M1710 laptop; Vista Home Premium. Recently, after moving into my new job, I have decided I need to upgrade to Vista Business.
Would it be possible to purchase an OEM disk (such as one you buy with a piece of hardware from Newegg) and run that on my Dell machine, or will it not allow me to use it, as I'm required to use my original disk that came with the laptop?
After doing a refresh reinstall on my XPS1645 (and getting the X-Fi MB driver disk from Dell after a phone call), I'm having some issues getting the software to work again.
The installation process appears to go fine, but when I try to open any of the provided Creative programs (Audio Control Panel, etc.), I get the following error message:
The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will exit.
I'm going to try reinstalling both Creative and the IDT drivers. Has anyone else run into this?
is the system installation the same on a replacement or is it anything different? Does the system come packaged like a brand new system would?

I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop. I purchased an OEM system builder Pack Microsoft Win Home Prem 7-64 bit English disk that won't install on my computer.

I already started a thread about my PCMCIA card not functioning correctly, it disabled my Wireless card and i have to remove the PCMCIA and reboot to get it too function again. I suspect it might have something to do with the order in which i installed all the drivers. There is a "help" page on the Dell website [url]
click "Installing Drivers in the right order"
Thing is that this help file doesn't use the same names for categories as they do on the actual driver page so it's a bit confusing at times. I didn't do a fresh OS install but tried to reinstall all the drivers in this order to solve the cardbus problem.
Here's what i've done. Actual category names of the Driver Page are in blue....names of categories in the "Help" page are written after them
System Utilities...or System and Configuration Utilies?
Dell - utility....system software
Dell - Utility....recommended Vista Power Management Settings
Chipset
Intel - Driver...Mobile chipset
Ricoh - Driver....R5C847
Video
nVidia - Driver....Quadro FX 770M
Network
Intel - Driver....825xx Gigabit Platform LAN Network Device
Intel - Diagnostics Utility....825xx Gigabit Platform LAN Network Device
Intel - Application....825xx Gigabit Platform LAN Network Device
(I don't have the bluetooth module or the minicards mentioned on the site)
After that i installed everything from the Applications category but somehow the Dell "ControlPoint Connection Manager" Doesn't install.
In the tutorial the PCMCIA card is specifically mentioned to be located in the "Security" category....surprise, surprise...that category doesn't exist! Could it have to do with the Dell "ControlPoint Security Manager"?
I didn't install that because i didn't want to have the fingerprint reader enabled.
Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the PCMCIA card but it's the only part in the driver page where security is even mentioned so, am i wrong?
I finally received my 14z yesterday afternoon and was excited to to install Windows 7 via USB.
I used this guide (Install Windows 7/Vista from USB drive) which worked flawlessly, but now
I'm wondering where you guys are downloading your x64 drivers. I'm also wondering where I can find drivers for two instances of "Base System Device" showing up in my Device Manager
I'm not pleased with some of the bloatware the laptop shipped with, so I just wanted to make sure that I can clean install from the "Reinstallation DVD" my computer came with. The product key isn't on the disc but it does seem to be on a sticker on the bottom of the notebook. Am I safe in doing this? I've already backed up all my files...

I have just ordered my M4400 with an 128gb ssd disk. I already have official windows XP 64 bit so i didn't order an operating system. My question is as follows:
1. with the SSD disk will i be able to install windows on my own? Am i going to need an extra driver like with the SATA drives?
2. if yes how will i be able to load it during the install? will i need nlite or similar software to create a windows installation cd?
3. Has anybody done it and knows the actual procedure? any other recomendations for the installation? Are there any tricks apart from installing the drivers in the order mentioned in the dell site?
4. Finally can i partition the SSD disk through the windows setup like with normal HDs?

I just received an Intel 4965AGN card i bought from ebay and proceeded to install it in my Latitude D630.
Card was recognized by windows fine and loaded drivers fine, it just doesn't find any networks.
I believe I installed the antennas correctly (1: white, 2: gray, 3: black).
Also the wifi switch on the side doesn't work and the LED is always off even though the Intel diagnostics say that the card's Radio is ON.
Is my card bad or is it just not compatible (BTW: It is toshiba branded.
my computer can't "standby" or "hibernate" I can see that option but its disabled, what can I do?
I'm downloading some drivers right now like, my wireless card drivers, ethernet drivers and some others that were lost during the reinstall.
