You need to run the "System file checker". Below is instructions on how to do that. You MIGHT need your dell OS disk, should have shipped with your Dell. If you can't find it, any Windows OS disk that matches your existing OS will work.

an access key is configured in the wireless routers web console to allow only the users with the key to connect to it. sometimes referred to as a "WEP KEY" or "WPA key" or "authentication code" To login to your web console, join your computer to your wireless router with a network cable (yellow below) to an Ethernet port 1,2,3 or 4 open your browser and surf to (instead of www) 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (most common) you should presented with a login screen most common username and password is admin and admin once you have logged in look for your wireless security setup screen such as this.....
look for the Wireless and Security Screens to enter or check your access security code, enter a code or review the existing one. Then once you save your changes you can connect with your laptop, now that you know the security key.

hi yes you should be able to connect a wifi dongle via the usb port on the side for your internet connection, you would have to buy a pcmcia network card if you want network connection to internet through your modem, so if you have wifi router/modem then a dongle would be better..hope this helps

Not able to access my yahoo email. I am able to surf the web but not email. Please help me to resolve this issue it has been about three 3 days since I have had access to my email account. My address is [email protected]

Connect to the internet and search update for your existing Flash Player. Anyway, this is free download. Once you connect the internet,
this is almost automatic once you surf the internet.

you can try to redownload and install it or try to create a nev account.

By looking at the typical specs on the computer, I dont see a way unless you upgrade the laptop. It seems very old and as my personal opinion wouldnt do good on a high speed connection. It seems your computer only has a 56k modem (typical phone line jack).

This model has a wireless network adapter built in, so if you are on DSL isp connection you need a wireless DSL modem/router, if cable then a cable router to attach to your cable modem.

Try to check your USB maybe there be breaks that can't be seen,try to use new cable..

Hope this may help;
