It must be a Volume device drive problem,please try to update your volume device drive software,find your original dell Inspiron 1420 volume device driver software or download it from www.dell.com

Install the latest touchpad driver from support.dell.com

There is a setting in the touchpad tab of the mouse driver. Either Enable PalmCheck or Disable touchpad when typing (Depends on Synaptics or Alps drive I believe)

With palmcheck enabled, the touchpad is disabled when typing

try to download the updated driver from supprt.dell.comand update the driver

Check where your email is hosted. For example your email is from AOL. Now you need to contact AOL and ask for the POP3 and SMTP Settings for AOL email configuration.

how did you install the new operating system.was cd absoulouty clean no scrathes.did you formatt.did u create a new partiton did u remove old OS..Try reinstalling..is your systen compatable with vista.if not it wont work..there are things you can do.

it worked for me...............good work

Most likely the drivers aren't installed. Go to the product page for your computer and download the appropriate drivers for your OS.

you have to get in Bios. you will find HDD section. it must be IDE/AHCI section. you need to do IDE if you want to install XP. XP doesnt regognize AHCI SATA drives.

You need a Vista premium disk to upgrade to Vista premium.

Just instert the Vista premium disk and start the installation.

If installation does not start, you will need to boot from setup CD, sometimes you have to change the bios boot sequence in bios settings, to start the installation from CD.
