I just got a new Dell Inspiron e1505. The packing slip says it has Windows XP Pro. I was always laboring under the impression that on start up, it would say Windows XP Professional rather than Windows XP only...but maybe I'm wrong. Is there any way I can be sure I got the Professional? Thanks in advance!

I bought a Dell Inspiron e1505 with Intel core duo processor T1050 (2mb/1.6 GHz/533MHz), 100 gb hard drive 5400RPM, 1 gb memory DDR2 533Mhz 2 Dimm, 15.4 inch screen with truelife, cd/dvd burner, windows xp professional, microsoft works, 9-cell lithium ion battery, 2 year warranty, laser printer, lock, flash drive, surge protector, and mouse.

It cost 1400 dollars.

Did I get a good deal? I don't know much about laptops (or computers in general). Should I have gotten Microsoft Office?

NOTE: I'm going to college in a month, this was close to what my school suggested, a bit better though.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Intel processor, XP service pack 2.
The ADSL light in the router is steady and constant.
But Problem is that sometimes the connection is lost and I have reinstall the modem driver, restart the router, restart the computer or Plug out and again plugin the router.
But sometimes all this fails, and when I format my computer, all starts working fine but only fore few days.
What a strange problem! Please help me out.

I have:
Pentium 4 Asus Motherboard 2.66GHz
512 MB RAM
256 MB Nvidia Video Card
80 GB Hard Disk (Mainly for software)
40 GB Hard Disk (Partitioned-this is where i put my files)

My boyfriend has:
Pentium 4 MSI Motherboard 2.80GHz
512 MB RAM
128 MB ATI Radeon Video Card
80 GB Hard DIsk

I just bought my pc last month and boyfriend's pc is 2 years old without internet connection so he doesn't get any updates. But for some insane reason, he can play high requirement games like Hitman (the new one) and Oblivion on his pc!!! Meanwhile, I can't play them on mine because they run extremely slow! But it runs so smoothly on his.

Why is this so?
What should I do to improve my pc performance?

I want to add another hd to my pc. I currently have an IDE hd. I've heard that SATA are faster than IDE. True or False?

Also, if I were to get a SATA hd, would i be able to run both an IDE and a SATA at the same time? Or would the SATA just override the IDE.

Any ideas?

I updated the BIOS on my computer, and after it completes, the computer reboots, yet it shuts off right after it displays the amount of RAM in the PC. Does it do this because I updated the wrong BIOS version?

I'm wondering if there is a virus or something that can make a hard drive disappear entirley. It is not only missing in Windows, but the computer cannot recognoze it at all, and this has recently happened with two of my hard drives. If there is something causing it, is there a way to fix it? Can a person somehow RESET the drive, like you can reset BIOS defaults? Or anything, the drive in question is a Maxtor 40 gig, seems to be in perfect shape, but suddenly disappeared. If you want to help, you can also email me at fraterchaos@yahoo.com

Hi Everyone!

So I need help, please. Cable company comes to fix the cable, they go into a wall and replace a broken wire. I should add that they pulled my computer desk out of and back into the wall (it has a million wires, but they were very careful)

I go out, I come back later to listen to music through my computer speakers and winamp/windows media player/etc tell me there is something wrong with the drivers. I checked and everything is correctly plugged in, speakers and audio on.

I need to know what to do in very simple terms!

help?

Thanks in advance!

I am having two hard disk in my machine. One hard is having opearating system as Windows XP and another one is having Windows 2000 Server.

During boot up of machine I choose from which hard disk, have to boot my machine. If i boot my machine from my 1st hard disk then it is showing data of another hard disk with drives of another hard disk like C:\, D:\ E:\, J:\.k:\

1st Hard Disk : C:\ , D:\, E:\, OS = Windows XP
2nd Hard Disk : C:\, D:\, E:\, F:\, J:\, K:\, OS = Windows Server 2000

I am wondering how it is happening. Once it is happening then keeping 2 hard disks in my machine no use. If virus comes in 1st hard disk then it will move very easily to another hard disk.

Could you guide me how to stop reading of data of another hard disk in one hard disk?
