Mifi4510L, Windows XP and a Dell Inspiron 8600

Good evening everybody. My sisters co-worker has a Mifi4510L and a Dell  Inspiron 8600, he has been using this unit for a while without issue until recently. The computer seems to lose connection to his hotpoint and he has to repair the laptops wireless connection to reconnect to it. Does anyone know of any issues that sound like this and if so is there a resolution? Thank you for your time.

Hello,
There are no known official disconnection issues with the MiFi 4510L.  Most of the time disconnection problems can be corrected by reconfiguring the device to better fit your enviornment.  I suggest lowering your MiFi to broadcast in B+G as an easy first step.
Change the 802.11/Wireless Mode
1. Sign into your MiFi
2. Click the Wi-Fi tab
3. Change the 802.11 mode from B+G+N to B+G
4. Click Apply
5. Test your connection
Let us know if these steps do not improve your performance.

  • Dell Inspiron 8600 freezes on startup when iPod Nano is connected to USB

    I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop and an iPod Nano. If I plug the iPod into the USB port and THEN startup the computer, the computer will reach the screen where it identifies the BIOS version, the one with the white progress bar on black background. The progress bar gets to around 95%, and then freezes forever.
    The only remedy is to force shutdown (hold down power switch), unplug the Nano, and restart the computer. If I do it that way, everything is fine.
    Is there any known issues with starting up Dell laptops with the iPod connected? Is it trying to boot from my iPod or some silliness like that? Any help is appreciated!
    My machine's BIOS is up-to-date, as is my iPod software.

    Hi aj,
    Niel's hit on it with the posted article, but I must ask the obvious question: Why start it up with the nano connected at all? Do you have problems connecting after you boot up?

  • Dell Inspiron 8600 will not connect to wireless airport/time capsule

    I have recently made the switch to Mac. I purchased a IMAC...love it!! Yesterday UPS dropped off my time capsule. I had no problem setting up. However when I tried to use my Dell Inspiron 8600 on the wireless...I can't log on even though the networks are listed and the password is entered correctly. When hooked up to ethernet from time capsule it works great and it worked great with my previous wireless router. Could it be a set-up issue? Could it be a software issue? Any help would be appreciated.

    not sure but you should give it a try..
    go to System Preferences/Network press <Configure> then <Options> and make sure that the box <Disconnect from wireless metworks when I log out> is unchecked.

  • Question about Photoshop Elements 11, Windows 8, and new Dell Computer

    Since I bought a new Dell Inspirion 660 computer, running Windows 8, my Photoshop Elements 11 occassionally gives me an error message saying I cannot save the file because I do not have enough RAM.  I have 8GB of RAM.  I never had this problem on my Old Dell Windows XP computer.  Any suggestions?

    Try reinstalling the application and see if this works.

  • Can I install Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1300 B130?

  • In compatability problems with windows 7 64 bit dell inspiron i3

    Tried everything still telling me that the program is incompatable and this problem is with the adobe reader can you please help?

    "Sweet Jesus, do you think you have enough security software? It's a wonder you can even boot the thing without FBI approval and an armed NSA team standing behind you."
    Seriously though... I did professional testing of antivirus software at Intuit for about six months in 2004 and the ONE thing I learned foremost from it was:
    Mixing antivirus programs does more harm than good in 99.999% of cases.
    I also have a serious problem with Microsoft (in)Security Essentials. I spent six hours reformatting my brother's office computer in May because MSE was unable to detect or prevent the FBI "Ransomware" virus from infecting and taking over his PC. Microsoft is the primary reason that anti-virus software exists in the first place. They built Windows so full of "gaping" security holes, that they're STILL patching them in XP thirteen years after they released it.. just how good can their security software be if they can't identify all of the security flaws that have been in their OS since 2000?
    At least you don't have Norton or McAfee installed... (yet). Getting rid of those is more trouble than removing a virus. Find youraelf a good solid antivirus app like TrendMicro or AVG and stick with it. Get rid of all that other stuff as it's causing conflicts in your system whether you see them or not. This errant incompatibility message is a good (or maybe bad) sign that things are starting to act up.

  • Installed a RAID card in my Dell Inspiron 3847. However, the RAID BIOS does not show up and I cannot install Windows 7 to it.

    That is basically a summary of the problem The Dell Inspiron 3847 does not come with RAID, so I tried installing a PCI-express 1x RAID card. However, the RAID BIOS never shows up. The HDDs show up when I install the RAID controller driver in Windows 7 setup, but I cannot install Windows 7. I am using an IOCrest SY-PEX40008 RAID card with a Silicon Image Sil3124 chipset.
    I tried pressing the hotkeys for the RAID BIOS listed in the card's manual, but it seems to just cause bootup to freeze. BIOS also does not seem to detect the RAID card HDDs as boot options.

    %AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
    On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;user&gt;\Application Data\
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field

  • Printing Issues with HP PSC 750 on Dell Inspiron 3647 using Windows 8.1

    Recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 3647 desktop which has Windows 8.1 unable to get my HP PSC 750 to print correctly.
    I have downloaded all applicable Win 8.0 drivers and even tried using the HP print & Scan Doctor application.  I get partial test pages printed, but the emails, documents, etc. are not complete.
    I had one error pop up stating that the USB 2.0 may not work with the 3.0 on the computer, but never how to 'work around that issue'.
    I tried calling HP support and they wanted to 'remote' into my computer as that was the only way they said the issue could be fixed...never done that before and was not comfortable with it...
    Any other ideas - before I go out and buy a brand new printer (this one by the way still works great!)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi there and welcome to the forums
    I saw your post about trying to install and use your PSC 750 on your new Windows 8.1 system. After checking the drivers out for this printer, I have discovered that there is no driver available for Windows 8.1. Perhaps try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if that will help with printing. If not, I would then suggest looking into an upgraded printer which will have more up to date software and would most likely function with 8.1.

  • How to revert back to windows 7 home premium 64bit from windows 7 pro 64bit. Window 7 home premium came preinstalled on my dell inspiron N4110

    Please assist  me; I need to revert back to windows 7 home premium service pack 1 running a 64 bit system from windows 7 pro service pack 1 running a 64 bit system. Windows 7 home premium came preinstalled on my dell Inspiron N4110. I added
    4GB of DDR3 1333MHZ speed memory. My processor is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2330M CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20GHz. 
    FYI the windows 7 pro disk and key don't match and pro expires in a few days.
    Thanks for your assistance

  • Installing Windows 8.1 on a Dell Inspiron 3451 with SSD (Crucial BX100 256GB)

    Hey,
    I have a problem with the clean installation of Windows 8.1 on a Dell Inspiron 3451 laptop with SSD (256GB Crucial BX100).
    The problem is that the installer does not see the disk, prompts you to install the driver. Secure boot disabled. 
    The disk is recognized in the BIOS. I can also change AHCI to IDE mode, because the BIOS does not have this option.
    How do I solve this problem? 

    This is usually because the Windows installation does not come with a suitable driver for your disk interface. The disk interface concerned is often SATA. Go to your motherboard/laptop manufacturer's web site and download the appropriate driver. Place it on a floppy disk, USB stick or CD (uncompressed, if it is provided as a ZIP file or an EXE installer originally). Then, when the Windows install routine asks for it, you can provide it. Please note that switching to IDE mode is for testing purposes only and is not a way you want to run things. Neither do you want to choose RAID, as if you know enough to be messing with RAID you don't need my advice. You want to choose AHCI and you want SATA drivers on hand before starting to install Windows.

  • DELL Inspiron N5110 does not Shut Down and does not wake up from Sleep

    Hello.
    I have Dell Inspiron N5110 which cannot shut down neither in Windows 7 nor in Ubuntu Linux. I specifically booted Ubuntu Live from the CD to eliminate the possibility that  the problem is in the Windows 7. Shutdown in Ubuntu does not work either. This proves that the reason in not a BACKGROUND application in Windows that remains hanging and does not allow the laptop to shut down.
    The laptop cannot wake up after Sleep or Hibernate either.
    I have tried every solution that you advised to all the other people in the forum that have the same issue.
    1. The laptop cannot shut down in Safe Mode either.
    2. It cannot shut down even after Clean Boot Mode - all non-MS services disabled and all Startups disabled.
    3. I tried changing the Advanced Power Options of "Allow Hybrid Sleep" - both ON for "On AC Power" and "Running on battery" - no change.
    4. I tried installing the latest video drivers for Nvidia. This did not help either.
    5. Running only on battery does not change anything - still cannot shutdown.
    6. Running only on AC adapter without battery - still cannot shutdown.
    7. I tried removing the AC adapter and battery and holding the POWER button for 30 seconds to RESET the laptop - did not work.
    ATTENTION: I've been reading your forums all day and saw at least 10-15 reports of the same problem and not a single fixed case.
    8. This is why I have not tried Flashing the BIOS to the latest version - I read other people tried that and it didn't work either.
    9. I loaded BIOS default settings (F9) - still cannot shutdown.
    REMARK: Changing something in the BIOS and trying to Exit once caused the laptop to freeze and I had to Power Off by holding the button for longer.
    10. I ran DELL Diagnostics from Boot menu (F12 at startup) - no errors found.
    11. I could not locate IEEE 1394 Adapter in Device Manager to change its Power Management settings.
    Actually none of the suggestions you may give for changing something in Windows makes sense because I already mentioned that shut down in Ubuntu does not work either.
    The issue seems to be either in the BIOS or a hardware problem. But which component? Is it the CD/DVD drive?
    This is a new laptop.
    Please advice how to proceed. If you know which component fails please tell me.

    Remove the keyboard and palm rest (guide from dell shows you how) and you should see a small coin cell battery. Remove it for at least 10 seconds, then put it back in. Enter BIOS and make sure there isn't anything weird that was changed. It should work properly now. I have had this working in Ubuntu 12.04 for the last few days, with no problems.

  • I need help installing iTunes on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7.

    When I attempt to install iTunes (downloading from the iTunes website) on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, I get the following error message, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
    Please help.  Thank you.

    Have you tried to install other programmes on the same PC? If they have worked, your installer should be in working order, so redownload iTunes and try again

  • How to enable touch screen stylus in photoshop: Dell Inspiron 13: windows 8?

    How to enable touch screen stylus in photoshop: Dell Inspiron 13: windows 8?

    You don't need to enable anything. For it to work you need a touch screen display and a pressure sensitive pen. Not a capacitive pen like those used on a iPad.
    A capacitive pen will work with the interface but not the brush tool.

  • Dell Inspiron 7000 Windows 8 Dual Monitor Setup

    Dell Inspiron 7000 Windows 8
    DVI and HDMI video outputs.
    I want to connect two monitors. The Best Buy rep says use and DVI to VGA cable with splitter. However, I spoke to tech support reps here at work who set up and support computers and they said that may not work and if it does the displays may not extended but be mirrors of each other.. At work I use a higher end dell with the traditional docking station. The Dell Inspiron does not have that option. Using a cable is easier that purchasing what amounts to a usb hub that is called a USB 3.0 dual video docking station.

    Hi,
    I have the same issue here... I tried the adapter either for VGA or HDMI, but it still didn't work....Could you please let me know how to fix it? I used Dell before and everything was fine but only for this series... really waste me a lot of time to find an answer to fix it but didn't work....sigh..Thanks
