Hi there, I'm usually pretty good at trouble-shooting, and maybe I'm just hoping the motherboard isn't fried, but this happened in a pretty unusual way. My husband just started working for a taxi business and they gave him a nextel walkie-talkie/gps unit. At about 3 in the morning last night, …

Hi I'm new here so I apologize if this thread is not in the right spot...I have just finished installing Wndows XP on my Dell d610, and now the CD_ROM can't read anything. WIndows still sees it but if I click on it it says "Please insert a disk into …

Has anyone written a driver for this printer? Dell only offers Windows Drivers, and when I do a web search, I can get a driver for every platform except MAC. I hate the thought of throwing a brand new printer into the scrap heap and buying a new brand that …

Hi - my dell user manual (for inspiron 9400) says that it supports DDR-II RAM up to 667 MHz, but the recommended upgrade on the Dell website is for 800 MHz RAM. Is installing the "too-fast" RAM going to be a problem? Thanks for any help, Dave

I have read a few related threads and nothing hits my problem right on the head. My wife spilled a few drops of soda on her Dell laptop LED screen. Soon after, the screen went black, but you can faintly see images. When I plug into external monitor, it works …

Linux distributions could use a boost in a few different areas, specifically these five: Virtualization, Graphics, Games, Point-of-Sale and Education. Some significant progress has been made in the past year or so in virtualization and graphics but there's still more to do. Everyone has their own set of ideals for …

Is it time to get back into the market? I don’t think so – if it walks like a sucker’s market, talks like a sucker’s market, and squawks like a sucker’s market, it’s a sucker’s market. Tech Ticker’s Aaron Task agrees. He says today that the U.S. still haven't dealt …

Dell is taking the netbook market by the horns, it would seem. First it [URL="http://www.itwire.com/content/view/23391/1231/"]refuses[/URL] to accept that the Psion netbook trademark is a valid one, and now it bucks the market trend for not being able to sell Linux powered netbooks. While the netbook market [URL="http://www.happynews.com/news/2242009/netbooks%20xp%20windows%20later.htm"]seems[/URL] to be moving …

Rumors were rampant all over Wall Street that Barack Obama trotted Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke out yesterday to calm the markets by declaring the recession could be over by the last half of 2009. It was a surprise to hear Bernanke, who’s been relatively quiet about the economy to …

It's time to embrace change in the IT world. Linux, for many, is ushering in a new age of reason. Its cost, stability, and open licensing make it a clear choice for those wanting to save money or shore up their service offerings. Companies, large and small, are turning to …

The Nasdaq was able to shake off the lousy jobs number today, and is up 31 points in mid-day trading. Apple, Dell, and Verizon are also way up – at around 3% each – as the market waits for Washington to come to terms on another bailout relief bill. The …

If your company CEO is walking around with bags under eyes, clutching a balance sheet in one hand and a bottle of Chivas in the other, it could be because she can’t get financing to keep the company going. Business Week has a great article on this topic, pointing out …

It was the fourth-worst trading day in Wall Street history, with the Dow off 679 points (about 8% of the index's total value) and the Nasdaq falling almost 9%, to 1,398 for the session. There's a lot to point at here, but the main culprit seems to be the fact …

Is it 2010 yet? Few people want to wish their lives away, but Wall Street might gladly trade a year of its life for a time machine that would take the market straight to 2010, when hopefully this mess will be behind us. Today's Barron's lays out the numbers and …

Hey, now that is pretty cool! Hot on the heels of a [URL="http://www.itwire.com/content/view/21585/53/"]report[/URL] suggesting that some 280 million people around the world have suffered some kind of data loss (through theft or incompetence mainly) during the last three years, Dell just might have the answer. It would appear to be …

Obama or McCain? The people speak today, but no matter who wins, Wall Street likes the fact that a regime change is underway, and change, by and of itself, is a ray of sunshine on the investment community. That's why the stock market is up over 200 points and let's …

One of the year’s biggest disappointments has to be Seagate Teachnology. The high-tech heavyweight is taking on so much water that barnacles are starting to grow on its bottom line. Hey . . . at least something is growing on Seagate’s bottom line. Before I get into Seagate’s woes, I …

The New Dell Inspirion Mini 9 may well become my best friend. I noticed today that [URL="http://www.dell.com"]Dell[/URL] is previewing their new line of Mini Notebook computers and they are impressive.

In the words of the immortal Chris Farley . . . “Holy Shnikey’s!” That was my reaction after watching Dell’s stock tank after what pundits are billing as an “underwhelming” second quarter earnings performance. Investors seemed to agree on Thursday, as Dell stock fell 13% to under $22 per share …
