Hi, you can perform a system restore by accessing safe mode by pressing the ESC button during bootup. Restore system to a time before the problem began. You will need to perform a full virus scan straight after normal bootup is achieved. Hope this helps

Restore dell 1150

Hey Scott,
Unfortunately, the Inspiron 1150 did not ship with a restore image on the hard drive. You will need to manually reinstall Windows, Drivers and Software back into the system. You can contact me at my email address listed below if you have any further questions.

Thank You,

My dell inspiron 1150 won't connect to the internet

Go into your device manager and disable the device, and then reboot. That may give the device a chance to reset itself through windows

System won't log on

try safe mode. If it works, use system restore to go back to a previous working configuration. If safe mode does not work, try the last known-good configuration. Restart the computer, then as soon as the Dell logo shows up on the screen, press the F8 key repeatedly until you enter the Advanced Options Menu. Use the arrow keys to select Last Known-Good Configuration, then press Enter.

there is a problem with your memory. TURN OFF THE LAPTOP turn the laptop screen side down there are two areas you can open. open the one more to the centre remove one or all memory module inside replace with new memory module. or if there are two memory modules in take one out then turn the laptop on if it does not start take the other out, put in the one you took out first back in start the laptop if none works by themselves you need new memory
