My dell has been acting up for about a week or so now. Whenever it is trying to load a video off of youtube or upload a photo onto myspace it will stop half way. My AIM gets booted off and signed back on automatically all the time. We ran a virus scan and they say there is no viruses. We tried a system restore but it said it couldn't do it for unspecified reasons...so we downloaded atl70.dll and it went through, but i could only restore it back to 11/28/2007...and that didn't do anything. we JUST got this cmp like two months ago...its just so annoying cuz the internet will run SO SLOW...then it will stop working and i usually have to x out and do it all over again. what could be wrong with it??? what can i do?

have you tried any spyware removal tools? This may solve a slow internet connection. I know you have done a virus san on your pc which might indicate that you have no virus. However, it may be worth the while doing an online scan too with Semantec.com (Norton) or Mcafee. If none of the above works and your pc is only 2 months old...then Hoik it down to the retailer and tell them to fix it or give you a refund!

When you open System Restore there should be a small box at the bottom that says 'Show restore points older than 5 days'. Put a tick in the box and you should be able to go back further. Rather do the restore from within safe mode. Reboot your PC and tap the F8 key as it boots up. Choose safe mode. Also try and use a system scheduled restore point.
If this doesn't work your last resort would be to format, repartition and reinstall your operating system.

The main problem with the dell computers, especially when left on all the time, is that the NIC or Network Interface Card, which is used to connect to the Internet, over heats. Therefore shutting it's self down to avoid further damage. a simple restart of the system, and maybe letting it stay off all night should resolve the problems. A little inconvenient i know. sorry.

i've got had 2 dells. the 1st replace into an xps T600 this is now approximately 4 years previous. i've got had to reformat and reinstall each thing two times, whether it keeps on going. while i offered that, Dell help replace into enormously good. somewhat over a twelve months in the past i offered my 2nd Dell ( a measurement 3000) and function regretted it when you consider that. i've got had to reformat and reinstall two times, replaced the no longer basic force and DVD burner. Dell help had a 'so what do assume us to do' techniques-set. My next purchase is a MAC.

We have a Dell comp. with windows xp at work and that is our touch screen till. It has been acting up too and during the busiest of times. No one can find a problem that is fixable with it. Can be a real pain for all of us cashiers.

i have a basic operation: if you have recovery cd/dvd, you can insert tihs disk and reboot your computer and than boot with cd/dvd. and recover it, or format your pc and install all you operating system,and all aplications. İf your screen slowing down when you move windows, you have to reinstall your graphic card.thas all,
