Thanks so much for all teh replies, sorry for my delayed thanks. Internet access is hard to come by for me at the moment. Youve all been very helpful, thanks again.

Hey all, Im not very knowledgeable in the wireless area but I want to get a card that will let me pick up wireless internet signals. A recent aquaintance had a laptop was a`wireless internet ready` and she just told the computer to look for networks and luckily was able to connect to a nearby...

Just following up incase anyone is paying attention. I tested both RAM sticks in both slots and don't see any problem with either of the sticks or either of the slots. This seems to mean that there is a problem somewhere when both sticks of RAM are in the laptop at the same time. I also...

Hi, I'll try to keep this thorough and to the point, I really need some help with this. It has been ongoing for a year, Alienware hadn't a clue as to how to fix it. System specs at the bottom of this post. The system I have is an Alienware laptop running with 1GB of RAM (DIMM PC2700) which is...

Thanks for the tip about tech support. If I have trouble getting a competant answer on the phone Ill ask for a supervisor. It isn't like Ive done anything to void warranty and I am the original owner of the laptop. Event viewer doesnt display any major errors that jump out and smack me in the...

I'm going to go back to Alienware and bother them soon, but they know even less than I do.. :disgust:

Ive been getting bluescreens since I got this Alienware laptop and have posted here quite a few times in the past about them. Whenever I post they seem to go away for a few days, then they come back. Last night I got bluescreened 3 times before ever reaching my desktop, all in a row. I...

I just reformatted my laptop 2 days ago. Before the format it would occasionally freeze anytime while booting, it would even bluescreen at least once daily. Now the only problem that remains is the frozen welcome screen. I dont have to login to my computer, so it just shows "Welcome" then goes...

Oh, woops, I forgot to mention that the CD I am using is a recovery CD and not exactly an XP Home CD... I wish I knew where that one was. :( So that means the format function doesnt work.

I need to format my computer and perhaps run fdisk but Im using Windows XP Home and cant reboot in DOS, of course, and I don't have a floppy so I cant make a floppy bootdisk. Is there a way to make a bootable CD that would work just like a normal floppy bootdisk? Thanks.

I played the demo and the only thing I didn't like was that it lacked unit diversity. In most other RTS games you could make up combinations of units that were useful for each situation and I didn't see that in this game, at least not in the demo. Is the full version any better?

I don't know much about laptops since this is my first one. I was just trying out the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War demo and had to alt+tab for one reason or another. When alt+tabbed back to the game, before I saw anything my screen went black and began to fade to white. When it finally became...

Alright. I emailed their sales dept. and I'm going to see what they say. Right now all they are offering on their website is an NVidia card.

Needless to say I am new to the laptop scene. I bought an Alienware laptop mainly because it allows you to upgrade the video card easily, RAM as well I think. I've got an ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 in this and the performace I get out of it is pretty awful. So I want to upgrade to a 9800 when they...

I've been randomly getting Lycos Side Search results whenever using text input boxes on the internet for a few days now, but I have run 3 adware removal programs and checked my registry and add/remove programs and have found no sign of this thing being on my computer. Did Lycos somehow figure...
