did you try downloading and reinstalling the driver for the webcam ,use you dell service tag# to get the driver

are you finding those settings you list by going into the router settings ,this way
When connected open your web browser (e.g. Internet explorer, Chrome or Firefox) and type 192.168.1.254 in the address bar and press enter.
if yes ,then i think it may be that you cand make the correct settings on the router you bought ,

my first link has a list of all window versions

hi, did you enter the router setup and make the manual seeting as suggested in the link you provided us ,instruction on how to get to the routers setup are also in the link ,see below

Router settings
If you are using your own equipment rather than one supplied by Sure you will need to use the below router settings to set up your broadband. Please refer to your individual router manual for the connection process:

ATM SettingsVPI 0 VCI 38
EncapsulationPPPOA / VC / VCMux
AuthenticationCHAP
Primary DNS88.81.151.130
Secondary DNS46.31.200.20

i would guess there are to many to list , this site in the link says there are 280 of them ,and it would be a different number with each version of windows
another good site

what 3rd party software ,

but too many actions pop you out of the desktop and back to Metro

shouldn't if you choose all the non win8 App programs to be you default. I have done this and don't get redirected to the win8 app

great to see old forum threads still help people solve problems ,good luck

I hooked every thing up and presto chango wamo! It works! Thanks everyone

yes that is a excellent tutorial on memetest86 ,give it a try

you could have had the company in the link posted by OCDPCFIX.com, remotely fix it for you ,lol

There is no software for XP

sure there is ,it was just made a few year back, it still outhere to get ,all the software one would need to use a computer what it was meant ofr ,has been made for xp ,some antivirus programs may not be compatable anymore ,but the rest will still work ,what software would you like them to be still making for xp

my experience with kvm switches is they don't like converter adapters ,and I have owned 4 different kvm's

try searching with the full model number on the bottom of the laptop ,
should look something like this .
dv9930US (FE779UA)

what msi file are we talking about ,
maybe try a system restore back to a earlier time

I finally gave up and walked away

on my desktop I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to stop one ,gave up and just hit alt+f4 , I don't use the apps very often ,for that reason

Why ?

because snakes have no armpits

not sure ,but you don't need to use/worry about dual lan support to setup the network between the 3 computer ,they can be wired to touter or if router is wireless they can be connected wireless also

no you only need to hook one cable to each computer ,and win 7 and win8 will work fine together .
this looks like a good place to start good luck

from the site in your link .I love finding typo's ,because it makes me feel not alone .lol

"might us well you could buy a new computer."
should be might as well ,not "us well "

and it helps[makes networking easier ] if they all have the same OS ,you didn't mention what OS's they all run on

=====================================
I had posted some info but it was not correct ,sorry

I thought this site had spell check ,lol

I guess its all what you use a computer for ,I don't have a phone to connect to it ,I don't have a printer ,it picks up other computer and networks to them even before win7-8 is even fully installed ,a little harder hooking to my wifes Vista laptop ,as for programs to work with it ,I have a msdn acct and get the latest Microsoft programs that I need or want to try ,my computer is just a toy ,or a tool to search internet for info on fixing computers and other media devices .
win7 and 8 still have compatibility mode like XP had for win95/98 programs ,not sure how well it works because i haven't tried it yet

no I don't recommend that software or any like it !
I suggest using memtest86 to check you ram for errors

how to create a bootdisk and use memtest
http://www.memtest86.com/tech.html

I do have 7 Ultimate x64 and will switch over when its really not possible to use XP anymore

give puppy Linux a try should have no problems bootin with it .
http://www.puppylinux.com/cd-puppy.htm

did you use a wire to solve it

hi as long as you buy a 2gig is the same speed[667] ,it would be ok to use the 512 ,every bit helps when it comes to ram ,if you find you have issues with it after the addin ,just remove the 512

deleted the USA option but still no joy

did you delete the usa option or did you choose UK as the option

try hitting f11 or f12 on bootup to see if it gives the bootoption ,where you can choose dvd drive

best to start a new thread of your own ,and explain your problem and what you tried so far to fix it .
this thread is 4 yrs old and marked solved

hello ,not sure I can help, but will try ,my first question is ,what did you have the laptop sitting on when you left it on all that time

hello ,try this program to help cleanup computer .
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

lol ,that's a good one ,slam the screen shut ! its a laptop not a car with a stuck door .
slamming it will eventually break it completely , it need to be taken apart ans checked for bad connection

try ,going into safe mode with networking and see if internet works ,hitting f8 on bootup ,go with safe mode with networking.

if that didn't work go to ,start / run ,type in CMD ,in the prompt type in with out the quotes
"ping google.com "

What is Trusted Boot in Windows 8?

Trusted Boot is a feature that secures the entire boot process on the computer and prevents malware from hiding and taking permanent residence on it. Trusted Boot can secure the boot process by ensuring that all Windows components that are loaded during boot have not been tampered with. Trusted Boot ensures that anti-malware software loads before any third-party device drivers and applications. This prevents malware from inserting itself in front of the anti-malware engine at which point it can compromise the anti-malware engine's ability to protect the system. In the event where malware was able to successfully compromise boot process, Trusted Boot will attempt to automatically remediate the issue. For more information, see Reengineering the Windows boot experience.

What is the difference between Trusted Boot and Secure Boot?

Trusted Boot is a Windows 8 feature that can protect the Windows boot process anti-malware solution from malware tampering (i.e., if it is properly designed and ELAM-compliant). It specifically prevents Boot Kit infections which inject themselves within the Windows boot process. Trusted Boot is able to best to protect the system, boot process, and anti-malware solution on Windows 8 certified devices, which include UEFI 2.3.1 hardware that enables the secure start-up of an operating system. This feature is called "Secure Boot." Secure Boot is specifically designed to prevent the start-up of "Root Kit" infections which inject themselves before the Windows …

Windows 8 didn't cause my hard drive crash -- incompatible antivirus program caused it.

I been using a computer since 1996,it was win 3.11.I have upgrade to every windows since ,excpt ME and Vista and I never worried about how well one of them did search ,I rarely need to search for files ,I usually know where my files are ,i upgrade because it was always free for me to do so .
the start button is gone in win8 ,but only the button,win8 boots to the start screen now .i know it was/is built for touch screen ,i just hit the desktop icon to get out of start ,or i have a shortcut in startup to go to windows explorer .

as for my car ,its a 2004,and i will need to get another in a year or so [spending too much on parts under the car because of salt used on the roads in winter ] ,i live in Salt air ,Atlantic Canada ,and not many 82 Honda Civic's around here ,

for a limited time if you recently bought win7, you have until feb 2013 to get win8 upgrade for $14.99
full win8 for $99.00
