My dell has windows, but I don’t know how to get bluetooth on it. Please walk me through the steps.

I can’t find anything about it online…I don’t think that it does, but when I went online to e-mail Dell, it said that its registration was not working at the time.

Does anyone have any suggestions for web cameras with this computer?

Thanks!

My friend has a Dell Inspiron 1525, witha built-in webcam, and it has a mic on it..apparently, it is not disabled when she plugs in her mic and headset, and it picks up background noise and amplifies it so loud, we cannot even talk in Skype. She has tried to disable it in Control Panel, but it disabled all her mic functions. Any Advice?

Ok, I need to connect my new phone to my computer but it doesn’t use a USB, just these two above. I can turn them both on on the phone, but not on the computer. Also, I don’t know where the infrared port is on my Dell. Its Windows XP if that helps at all?
I’m lost and really need to connect them!

I have never done this. I consulted Dell support, but their drawings do not look like my PC. I don’t have 4 vertical slots where I can insert cards. I have two long horizontal cards, which seem to already be filled with other cards that came with the PC. Can someone take pity on me and offer some guidance, or does this model not come with open slots?

I have a Dell desktop and I was wondering if other makes of DVD burners would be compatible with it or do I have to especially buy a “Dell burner” off the Dell website since it is the only thing that is compatible? Thanks.

I have a 5.1 Sound System that came from the factory with the computer. In the back of the tower there are 3 inputs for the 5.1 (yellow black and green), then there are a blue, a black, and a pink inputs.
I think one of them is for the mic or maybe the webcam,dunno. Do I need to install a sound card to run a line to the stereo receiver(Sony digital) or is there another way? Have tried running lines from the pink, blue, and black recepticles with an RCA jack, and no success. Thank-you for any info whatsoever.

Thank-you King, but the nice folks at Radio Shack didn’t have the answers. Will keep trying.
Thanks again King, I will go back to Radio Shack and get the connection you suggest. If it works I save big bucks for not buying the sound card!!!

I re-installed windows vista on my dell and i installed the drivers, however I’m supposed to have nvidia geforce 8600gt which was working fine until i made the reinstallation. Now it just says I have standard vga graphics adapter and i can’t install any nvidia drivers. What is wrong? Please help!

I think the Dell came w/ an ATI Rage 32mb card at first, which I promptly swapped for an ATI Radeon 9800Pro. I am wondering if my computer could handle an old GPU, maybe an Nvidia 6800 256mb series one…
Plus, it has an AGP slot.

What do you think? Good buy?

I just got a new Dell 530 Inspiron and i bought an 8800GTS video card separetly. I found out that my power supply is too weak and i need at least a 400W power supply. Can i just buy any power supply that has the 6 pin PCI-e plug that i need and more than 400W? Or are there only certain power supplies that will fit my case? I want to do it as cheap as possible. Any help would be great !

I want to buy the Dell XPS 1530, but the graphics card is only a 8400GT, which isnt what i want. I would like a 8600, or even a 8800, and can i do that before i get the computer, just have them upgrade it at the factory or whatever?

That way i wouldnt have to mess with it and i could play the games i want to, while having the XPS 1530 that i want.

Thanks!

I have a Dell GX100 with Windows 98SE and i reformatted the hard drive and reloaded windows. I Installed the drivers from Dells website, but when i go into my system device it shows an unknown device: PCI Ethernet Controller. What Driver am I missing? Please help, Thank you.

I would like to upgrade the memory on my Dell Precision 380 workstation. It now has 2 gig but can hold as much as 8 gig. Is it worth buying up to 8 gig? I heard it’s wasted because it won’t recognize a full 8 gig? Is this true? If so, how much will it recognize?

I bought a Dell Bluetooth keyboard, hoping it works with my ps3 but I am unable to pair them. Can anyone help?

I have a Thermaltake Armor case but I don’t have a mobo so I can’t transfer the components into the Armor. Would the 8800gt fit in the dell case for the time being? I don’t knwo if i should buy it.
I know the card can fit in the slot, but the card is 9 inches long.

I have an Xbox 360 and a Dell XPS One and I want to connect my 360 to it. There are no plugs to plug in your red-white-yellow cables to the back of the computer. So if I am able to, how do i do this?
