Hello! If t says DELL, I probably own it. This questionis concerning my newest addition, Inspiron 1525. When at home, I would like to have a more "desktop," feel accessories. I was thiking I needed to buy the following: Keyboard, Full size mouse, port replicator or docking station, laptop stand, and maybe a LCD monitor.

Would you be able to advise me on what I "really" need and which of those can be from DELL.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I have a lattitude c610. when I push britness to max in bios screen blacks out instantly. If I back off a couple clicks picture is fine for a while, but then blanks out. You can still faintly see picture very faintly. Is first guess invertor? Or could it be bad backlight our lcd itself? This is my first experince with laptops.
Thanks, Jim

Hi, new to this forum but a longtime Dell owner.

I want to know why my Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop blinks a couple times when Vista boots to the desktop. This appears to be a common problem and I've seen it mentioned many places. It has something to do with VIsta and changing resolution (at least that's why people claim). I have an XPS desktop with VIsta premium and it doesn't do this, just the laptop.

I am running Vista Premium on the 1420 laptop. The computer has 2 GB ram and a 1.4 mhz Pentium Dual Core processor. Integrated video card.

It's not a huge deal but its really annoying. None of the suggestions given by others on the net seem to work.

If you have any suggestions it would be appreciated and thanks for offering to help all us loyal Dell owners out there!

if it is like any windows screen saver and I believe it is all you need to do is goto pick your screen saver. what is running should be listed and you should see it playing in a small screen. you will see settings; click it and you can edit the text.

Hi, I have a older Dell Dimmension 2350. My question is: How do I back up my hard drive? I purchased a 500 GB external hard drive, but I am not sure how to use it to back up my system. I have 762 mb of RAM, and the original hard drive, (40GB, or what is left.). I think that my external hard drive is made by WESTREN DIGITAL it is called ELEMENTS. THANK YOU- J.C.
