Dell inspiron laptop runs vista. just replaced

click Start and type Services.msc at the bottom......hit enter........find Bluetooth and see if the service is started! if not.......right click it and start the service

your HDD may be corrupted, re-installing windows vista is one option. Your best bet is if you have/ can obtain a copy of windows vista run setup and try the repair wizard in the windows vista setup, the wizard automatically finds errors and missing files and replaces them therefore solving any errors in your HDD. you can also try to use the recovery wizard from your recovery disc. best of luck

Hi

Most common cause of this problem is the Operating System (Vista) if its starting to crash or infected of a virus. Reinstalling the Vista should fix this problem but if the problem persists it only means that your Hard Drive are having bad sectors and needs to be replaced.Thanks

It could be a hardware or a software issue

First run a hardware test on the computer, follow the steps

The error messages indicate a failing hard drive. Replacing the hard drive will resolve the problem. 0F00-0142 amd 0F00-0146 are hard drive hardware failures, Dell Tech support should replace the hard drive if under warranty.

Go to your device manager and check the driver of your network card. An x mark r an exclamation point means it needs drivers. Make sure you install the drivers from the Drivers Cd that came with you're DELL or you can download drivers at www.support.dell.com

New driver should do the trick on the audio, so why don't you go here to download it.

The problem might be with the bad sectors on a hard drive. You should run Scan Disk on a partition where you were trying to install Windows Vista.
