I want to purchase a new PC from Dell as the one I'm using at the moment is rubbish. Dell have an excellent website but I cannot find anywhere on it that tells you how long it takes from placing the order to some bloke at the door getting you to sign for it. Has anybody out there ordered a custom built PC from Dell lately? How long did it take to get to you?

I was just doing some work on my company laptop, and knocked it off the chair! It didn't fall to the floor - I caught it - but it knocked and then I couldn't get past a blank screen. I have took out the battery pack and rebooted it.

All of my icons, emails, documents etc are now gone! How can I get them back?

By the way, its a Dell Inspiron 2500.

It reads dvds but not cds. I've tried both a cd-r and others. Whenever I reboot, I get a message which reads:

"Application failed to initialize:0x800106ba. A problem caused WIndows Defender Service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or search help and support on how to start a service manually." I'm guessing this has something to do with my problem.

Please help soon!

with importing and playing cd's in itunes. It imports what seems to be in record time, however when I go to play the tunes that apparently been imported it flicks through each and will not play any. I can make a cd via itunes so i'm confused. Why won't it allow me to add new music? Why won't it play the new music?

I don't have specs on this but I have a built in TV tuner on my PC and am running it through media center but my TV is laggy. I am not sure what is causing this. I did some reasearch and I heard that may be my resolution settings are too high? I have my modem and TV connected to this PC using a splitter, not sure if thats the problem?

What do you think? Anyhow know whats wrong or how to fix this? Can I run my TV through something else instead of media center?
