Software

I need to open a document in Indesign from a mac computer, but that document has to be open now in a dell computer.

I am reformatting and reinstalling Windows XP. When I put the
Dell Drivers and Utilities cd into the cd drive, nothing happens.
If I click on the cd to see what’s on it, I see a file called autorcd.exe. Isn’t that program supposed to be starting up immediately? I’ve right clicked on the cd drive and selected the autoplay tab, but I don’t see an option to make this kind of cd autostart.
If I can’t get autorun to work, If I click autorcd.exe, will that do the same thing as autorun?

My computer at work makes multiple copies of a word document. When I return to documents in Word it says “this item has not been saved”, even though I saved it before exiting the program. Then, it continues to create a second copy of the original document. This computer (it’s a Dell) is about five years old. I’m just sick of it. I have seven or eight copies of the same thing. Any ideas?

I see that the “retail release date” is January 28. Is that for buying the software in a retail package at Best Buy as well as buying computers loaded with it? I don’t want to mess around with upgrading. What will be the first day a computer (specifically, a Dell) can arrive at my home loaded with Vista?

Here’s the story. I want to use a Dell Windows XP installation CD that requires a Certificate of Authenticity on my Mac. I have a Dell laptop and I was wondering if I can just take the CD and install it on my Mac. I would be running Bootcamp. Would Windows recognize that the COA is already in use on another computer or would this work?

Is Dell Media Direct suppose to work without starting up windows?

I have a DELL Latitude D600 that was passed down to me by my older sister. The XP on it has some bad malware and is generally corrupted. What would be the best Linux version to either replace it , or do a dual boot?
It is about 5 years old.

I have a dell optiplex gx150 with windows 98. I just bought this computer off someone for cheap cuz they couldnt get it running. They deleted alot of programs and I had to download a lot of programs already. The people deleted the whole sound card device. I really need one to run sound programs correctly.

I want a list of things to uninstall from my Dell to make it run faster. I know a lot of the things that Dell installed on my computer when I got it aren’t important, but I need a way to sort through what is and isn’t important. Please direct me to a list of the unimportant things I can feel free to delete.

I don’t remember getting a CD like that when i bought it, and i want to restart everything on my computer. Any ideas?

Its a Dell Dimension 3000 Desktop.

I either want to actually be able to fully emulate mac X on my dell inspiron 9300 OR make my dell look as mac”ish” as possible. Any suggestions. And no I do not have the money to go buy a mac and use boot camp to run my windows apps so that is out of the question.

I recently garbage picked an old laptop(it works fine everything is clean off of it) and im wondering how to get internet on it. It is a Dell Latitude CPx with Windows 2000. It has no ethernet cable spots or anything, or at least i dont think it does. how can i get internet on this?

That is if my new Dell XPS M1530 has Microsoft Word. It came pre-installed with Vista so I hope it has Word. How do I get to it.

I bought a dell 1420 with vista premium installed. I want to remove it and install XP. What is the procedure for doing that. And will XP work better.

I used to store my music using Dell’s Jukebox apllication but once I got the IPOD I liked that apllication much better. So now I need to save myself the trouble of downloading everything again. Can you help me? Please.

I bought a computer from Dell a couple of years ago. I want to do a clean up and format it (nothing urgent, I just think it would speed up the machine). But Dell never sent me a Win CD and mentioned something about using only system restore. I honestly don’t remember.

Is there a way to format my machine to its original state without the disk? Is it as reliable? Thanks.

I burend a Cd (using the extention m3p) at school on an Apple computer, and I tried to play it at home on my Dell Desktop & laptop, and it wouldnt play! Am I using the wrong extention?

On a Dell laptop w/ Windows XP, there is a recurring error message that says “Server is Busy. Program Manager not responding. Retry?” It doesn’t seem to block applications, but the error windows are a pain to close. This started happening at about the same time popups started to appear. Have any of you encountered such an error and have an idea how to resolve it?

The Dell disc is XP Pro, but the installation on the other computer is media center? Does that matter? I just need to run the fixmbr command.

I am trying to install my Windows OS on my Macbook with the Windows OS CD that came with my Dell. I just bought the Parallels software for Mac that lets you run Windows on the Mac. I need to enter the Product Key for my Windows XP. Can anyone help?
