Open a command prompt after your PC reboots and resumes setup. - In Windows 2000, wait until the PC begins registering components and then press the "Shift + F10" keys simultaneously. - In Windows XP, watch the bottom left-hand side of your screen until you see a progress bar that reads "Installing devices" and then press the "Shift" and "F10" keys together.

as ive told others, make sure u actually turn off the software program that came with the computer before using with msn! u should be able to have it on while using it but for some reason some computers wont allow it! it "tells itself" that there are 2 programs trying to run the web cam when really only one is.
but because the program is on, it sees it as being used in 2 places at 2 different times!

try turning off and exiting the software (dell webcam manager) and then go onto msn and try using ur web cam!! make sure the dell manager is exited, then when u have a msn window open, turn the cam on and see if ur friends can see u then..

good luck..
if this doesnt work ill check back and see what i can do for you!

Can you rephrase the Question? "Elimination of power flee"?

The power supply unit should be the only casualty. If it is new then Dell may cover it under warranty. Do not tell them about the slider, just say it popped when you powered it up. If the unit is not under warranty them you will need to get a replacement power supply, they are available on Ebay for around $40

1) Windows won't have the audio driver. Reinstalling from the Windows disk is futile.How does this happen? How does the audio driver file seemingly disappear? Windows...........ya gotta' love it.Windows had a 'barin f@rt', and lost the address to the audio driver file.2) Uninstalled audio driver.This really is an excellent approach, but only works some of the time.Kind of 'slaps Windows around' a little bit.{YOU........Windows..............WHERE is my audio driver file? }So there is two strikes down.No big deal really.Just download AND install the audio driver needed.http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-530Scroll down a little. Click on the blue Down Arrow next to -Audio (4)Here you see in the list, the audio driver files listed.IMHO you have the wrong numbers.As you can see the first file listed is version - 6.0.1.5678 (A02)The second audio driver file listed is 5.1.0.5548 (A00)As you can see you need the first audio driver file listed.It is for Windows Vista, and both the 32-bit version, and 64-bit version.Go to the right of 6.0.1.5678, and click on the blue Down Arrow.(Or Download File in blue)Make SURE there is a Green dot in the small circle, to the left of Single-file downloadClick on Continue in the blue oval 'button'.A small window will come up -Opening REALTEK_ALC888-HD-AUDIO-FOR-_A02_R19847...Click on Save File.A small download window will come up.Allow the file to download all the way, then DOUBLE-click on it.At the bottom of the next 3 small windows, click on Next, Next, and Finish.(At the second small window, DO NOT change anything.Windows knows where to put the audio driver file.Just click on Next)When finished restart your computer.If you do not have the Volume icon in the taskbar (System tray at bottom of screen -Right), let me know.I'll detail how to get it back.(Looks like a Speaker icon)IF, this does NOT bring the sound back, you need to install a sound card.For additional questions please post in a Comment.Regards,joecoolvette

Look inside of your tower, you will have a few different cords connecting to your DVD/CD drive. It should either have a 4 pin Molex connector and an IDE or a Sata connector and power. The IDE cable looks like this:http://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/officedepot/311075_vw_etz00_10055684?$OD%2DLarge$The Molex connector looks like this:http://assets.hardwarezone.com/2009/img/data/articles/2004/1215/tutorial-4pin_molex_power_conn.jpgIDE is an older tech that uses a 4 pin molex to connect it.Now, if you have something that looks like this:http://www.sierra-cables.com/Cables/images/SATA-Signal-Cable-1.jpgIt uses Sata, and the power cable looks like it as well, it's just longer.To make sure the DVD drive you're working will work with the current DVD/CD's you have, just look on the front of the CD you are going to use, in truth it usually should work with anything. It's even RW so you can re-write data to RW CD/DVD types.Pretty much, just make sure that it uses the same power type and data connector as your current one. Power type being the 4pin molex or the Sata power plug. Data type being the IDE cable or the Sata cable.If it matches, it will work :) I hope this helps.

Keyboard come with two different connection options these days. The old PS2-style (circular with ~5 pins) port are less common on current machines these days. The Dell Inspiron 530 is one of them; you need a USB keyboard or a PS2 to USB adapter. This adapter, http://www.amazon.com/Adesso-Adapter-connects-connectors-ADP-PU21/dp/B00008ZPED , is an example of how you would connect your old keyboard to your new computer. There are USB ports on the front and back of the tower.If you bought the computer new, it should have come with a USB keyboard. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Does the power button light on the computer stay Green or Amber?

Help you with what problem? There is no physical reset button on the computer. Here is a link to the service manual of your model:ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.pdf

If your operater gave you modem and all cables, connect telephone cable into switch, then one part from switch goes to your telephone and other into modem, also yellow cable goes into modem and into pc.dont forget to plug in power outlet on modem. for other settings you should call your operator

Hi therethe G614J is a Intel Celeron 450. which is a Socket LGA755 (this is the connector on the motherboard for a cpu, this is a deciding factor on what kind of cpu can be installed.)Currently the LGA 755 socket is history, there are no cpus sold as NEW in the market that I can see, your only option is 2nd hand, like EBAY.comI found a total of 7 cpus in ebay.In my honest professional opinion it is not worth it to attempt to upgrade the cpu on your computer, consider buying a newer computer, used, or new.I mean this stuff is trash,http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-11-CPU-Intel-Pentium-4-2-8Ghz-521-LGA755-1M-800Mhz-SL9CG-/360517310223?pt=CPUs&hash=item53f081970fthat guy is selling 11 cpus for LGA775 socket for 50$ its few $ for one cpu.Your current cpu has a front bus of 800MHZ you don't want to get anything lower than that, that is the only deal I found in ebay that wasn't slower than your current cpu.I'd recommend you resell your old computer as is on ebay or similar and purchase a newer system.

Hi,if you want to reinstall OS:Insert the disk, it should automatically open the install.exe thing and you'll need to follow the instructions.if you want to restore the computer to factory settings and reinstall OS:turn off your PCkeep pressing the key for boot menu it's F8 or F12 or F11 depending on the PC's manufacturer.Then there will be either a boot menu or a "Do you want to do a system restore":a) system restore, keep pressing the key and it will load. Then follow the instructionsb) if it's boot menu, insert the disk, and then select the option which says to load from the CD/DVD. Then follow the instructions.NOTE - PLEASE BE CAREFUL, IF MAKE ANY MISTAKE, COMPUTER MAY NOT RECOVER.
