How do i connect DELL Dimension E520 to Internet
First you need to know if your computer is set up to connect to the Internet. Look on the back of the computer and find the Ethernet connector (looks like a large version a phone jack). If you have this, simply connect the cable that came with your modem and then make sure both ends of said cable are plugged in. It doesn't matter which end of the cable goes where.
If you don't have one of this ports, you need to use a USB port to install a wireless receiver - these usually smaller than a thumb drive. Install the software for the receiver (or it may do so automatically) and you should be able to connect to a wireless router.
How can I find a driver for internet explorer on windows xp?
Well internet explorer doesn't have a driver. Drivers are for hardware such as video cards, keyboards and mice, etc. If you are having problems with IE you can try re-installing it or upgrading here:

If you are having trouble connecting to the internet through IE then you may need to update the driver for your network adapter. That is about the best answer I can come up with since there really aren't any details to your problem. Try replying back with your issue and we can take a look at it.
?Is there an easy way to do backup on a Dell pc?
buy a hard disk (blank) the same se physically and in capacity as the one in your computer. Set this up to be a second hard disk or as an eternal (USB) hard disk for your computer.
Obtain from the internet a program for clones (of hard disks); create a CD from this; ensure your computer is set to boot from CD first.
Insert the CD into your CD drive. Restart your computer.
Proceed to clone FROM your original hard disk TO your new, blank hard disk. BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT CLONE THE BLANK DISK TO THE ORIGINAL DISK ELSE YOU WILL HAVE YOU WILL NOTHING. This could take hours. Your should ensure your PC is not interrupted during this process.
At the end the process you should be left with your original unaltered hard disk, plus an identical copy of it, which can be inserted in place of your original if that goes wrong.
This is just one way of backing up.

How to get password access
the 7 char is what Dell calls a Service Tag. With that, one can go to the Dell Service website and look at what components that PC was sold with; some older models (10yrs or so,) have little info.
afaik Dell does not set passwords for their PCs, so their will not be any 'sticker' information on the PC to help you do that.
Dell will only Help you fix this problem *IF* the PC is still under a valid warranty, otherwise they would charge you for any help.
There are PLENTY of password-reset tools out there on the internet. It will require you have access to another PC to first locate a tool, then to download it, and then burn an ISO image to a CD/DVD or to a bootable USB drive.
How come my dell e521 wont boot up after replacing cmos battery?
Your computer has other problem than the CMOS battery. Most of the desktops if not all can start without battery. Moreover if the battery was used up or very low in power usually the Dell desktops will let you know about it so you can replace it. I suggest you disconnect all drives and extra PCI cards. After turnning the pc on you will notice if the Bios screen shows up quickly. Then add one component at the time and see if you can find what is causing the problem.
