Problem with Dell 2208WFP

This is doing my head in.Just got the above monitor which is replacing my old VGA Viewsonic but it just keeps on going to powersave mode.However if I disconnect the VGA cable from the Viewsonic and put it in the Dell it works!.I've tried VGA and DVI in port 1+2,gone over to XP on a seperate internal HD,uninstalled CCC,loaded Dell drivers and thrown a couple of fits.Dell support lost the plot as soon as I mentioned Mac,so no joy there.
Please help!.

You're welcome.My post was possibly misconstrued as a dig at Apple,hence the rapid deletion.It wasn't.
Even in the Free West,our rights to free speech are layered in exceptions,and every opportunity to control that right is sadly exercised.I love Apple,but I also love Dell,just because I buy one or the other doesn't automatically mean I have to become a blind disciple of the Company and believe the huge Advertising spiel as gospel,it's just people wanting you to be persuaded to spend your money.When you do,and have problems,the true devotion of the Company towards it's customers has the opportunity to shine through and win your confidence,hence brand loyalty.
Being an old and largely sceptical person,I buy on the "make my work efficient principle",not if it looks nice or has attractive people saying how wonderful their products are.
I just really dislike the attitude of some of the members here on this forum,it reminds me of book burning.
I do hope your problem is rectified and you can continue working.
J-P.

MSI Lighning 7970 card 2560x1440 problem (with DELL U2711)

Hello. I have trouble with my display and 2xMSI 7970 Lighning graphic cards. Could someone help me?
Configuration:
Core i7 2600K running on gigabyte P8Z68-V motherboard with J.3603 BIOS
2 MSI Lighning 7970 cards without crossfire connector inserted (I don’t need crossfire for gaming – just multimonitor configuration for graphics).
The BIOSes of the cads are the same-from-the-box and was identified like MSI.HD7970.3072.120411.rom in the GPU-Z database.
The numbers in the GPU-Z’s “BIOS Version” is 015.013.000.010.000000 (113-AD40900-X01)
The BIOS numbers in the MSI Live Update is TV278MS.102
And the serial numbers from the stickers of the card’s boxes are:
602-V278-02SB1204058976 and 602-V278-02SB1205129844
All stuff running on Win8.1x64 system.
I have 3 displays: 2 of them are Samsung 245T running 1920x1200 and the last one (the new one) is DELL U2711 (witch is capable for running 2560x1440 resolution).
Now, THE PROBLEM.
When I running 2-displays configuration (2xSamsung 245T connected via DVI) there are no any problems at all: all works fine. The problem with the 3d display and it’s 2560x1440 resolution. I tried different cables and both cards, but display couldn’t run correctly.
1) It is running fine but ONLY 1920x1080 resolution when connected via DVI. There is no 2560x1440 settings at all in windows system then. I tried both cards and both DVI-ports, also I tried different DVI cables. No matter. It’s only 1920x1080. The drivers for the display panel was installed from the dell’s official site and the’re latest (as I could see..)
2) When I tried to connect the display via DisplayPort cable to my cards (no matter which of them or which of 4 display port’s connector on each card) it COULD RUN AT ALL. Usually the display showing up correctly with the right resolution (2560) but the screen is blank (black). After some time monitor goes to the suspend mode.
From time to time display could shows some desktop with terrible quality (I get the photos of it) for 2-3 second and then it’s blank again.
Also when connected I get the error “DisplayPort Lower setting applied” from time to time.
3) I have tried some DVI-Displayport adapters (witch was in the box with the MSI cards) and the result is the same as in 1) - only 1920x1080 resolution...
The display is fine and it works perfectly on another system (without MSI cards). What’s the problem? Should I upgrade BIOS or something to work in 2560x1440? Thank you.

the poor quality of the screen (when it shows up for 1-3 seconds with DisplayPort connection)

New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed. I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter. The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep. It would not rewake. After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode. Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods. Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable. This Dell Monitor had DVI connector. Hope this helps...

How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

Problem with Dell Printer and Wireless Router

I have a new Linksys Wireless Router (3100) and it handles 3 laptops, PS3 fine. But I have a Dell 715w network printer (also new). I have it set up on the network, and it works fine upon setup. The problem is the printer does not work all the time. Sometimes I can get an error message, sometimes it says it is busy, and other times it literally takes a long time to load and then does not print. I usually can get it to work again by rebooting and turning off the router and printer and laptops, but this hit or miss is very annoying and I never know when it will do this again, usually after a week or two. I wonder if the problem is that the 3 laptops all have different OS - XP, Vista and Windows 7. Dell tech support won't help as they say they don't support routers, but I am wondering whether the problem is ina s etting or if this printer is malfunctioning. any help would be appreciated

Yes. You have to key-in the IP address to the printer.
Basically, if the printer is set to obtain IP address from the router, it will be provided with a random IP or any IP available for the next device that will connect, on this issue, your printer. So there's no permanent IP address for the printer, making it a little hard to find at times. Compare it with the a static IP, your computer can easily map it since it doesn't change.

I have a problem with Dell 2407WFP

i just bought dell 24" lcd conecting with my macpro now with 7300GT.
the problem is... display doesnt match with sound.
the lcd is late about 1 frame
when i watch DVD,,,i edit movie stuff...i just play quicktime movie...whenever..
i can feel it.
so i edit sound track from quicktime movie 1 frame late in the final cut pro... it Does MATCH!
is it normal?
please help me!
oh! i called Dell korea, and asked about it...
but they just said that their product doesnt support Mac officially..-_-;;;;

I have the 2407 and the 2405 on the ATI card on the Mac Pro, and there is no delay. Maybe it's the graphics card? I also edit and game, and the monitors work great. Both 24" monitors and it's a dual monitor setup, so I don't know what your issue may be.
If you think it's the monitor, you should tell Dell and exchange it for a new one. Otherwise, it's the graphics card or something since my monitor works flawlessyly.

Problem with Dell 3007wfp

So I just got my new Dell 30" and the only problem is is that it won't go above 1280x800. If I try to do it, the image gets so distorted that I can't even switch it back to a viewable resolution. I end up having to hook my old monitor up to it to fix it. I'm running the 1900xt card on my Mac Pro. Am I missing something?

I just had a similar problem on hooking up a Dell 300&WFP to a Dual-core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video card. Both Mac and monitor were right out of the box.
On initial connection of the Dell's DVI-dual link cable to the left-hand female DVI port (facing the back of the Mac), the maximum resolution I saw was 1200 x 800, and it was very disappointingly jaggy. Interposing the DVI adapter that came with the Mac did not help.
Interestingly, switching the Dell's DVI cable to the Mac's other DVI port (right-hand, closer to the USB ports, etc), after turning the monitor off but without restarting the Mac, just led to a black screen on the monitor.
Fortunately, however, if the power button on the Mac was then pressed for just a few seconds, but not long enough to restart the Mac (Dell now hooked to the right-had DVI port directly, i.e., without adapter), computer and monitor synched. I now had a wide range of resolution options (800 x 500 to 2560 x 1600), all appropriately sharp.
Hope this helps others.

Need some help - having problems with Dell Workstation BIOS not making all RAM usable

Hi,
I'm having problems upgrading the RAM in my T7400 workstation. I previously had 8 x 1 Gb modules and I'm now trying to use 8 x 2Gb (total 16 Gb). This fills up all 8 DIMM slots on the motherboard.
The replacement RAM is of the correct type, PC2-5300F DDR2, CL5, EEC Fully Buffered (same type as I had before). Each stick is also the same manufacturer (HP Micron), size, rank, timings etc. The problem is the BIOS won't recognise more than 8Gb as usable (it does detect all 8 sticks as it lists out all of the modules).
This is what I've tried so far:
Tested each module independently in DIMM slot 1 and it's recognised fine. (And I know all of the slots work, since I previously had 8 x 1Gb working ok).
I tried putting 8 Gb in DIMM slots 1-4, still only reporting 4 Gb usable (all modules detected).
I ran memory tests, everything checked out fine.
I reset the CMOS with the RTC jumper (suggested elsewhere on the forums).
I could find no bios option to remap memory.
Windows 7 Pro also shows 16Gb installed but only 8Gb usable (this is not an OS issue, since the BIOS is showing the same problem, before it even gets to loading Windows).
I haven't tried flashing the BIOS but I doubt this is the issue. I've been through the changelog of each revision after mine and it doesn't mention anything about fixes to memory detection (Also similar reports of my issue said upgrading the BIOS made no difference). I'd rather not mess things up when everything else runs smoothly and I'm very much out of warranty.
Of course, Dell won't help directly without trying to bill me for technical support.
Can anyone please suggest anything else I can try?
Thanks for reading.

Dimms that show half of the ram are High Density 4 rank and not compatible. Any ole Joes crab shack ram doesn't work. Only Specific vendors ram works. Buying ram based on a cheap price almost guarantees that its high density. High density modules have less ram chips on them and are therefore cheaper.
DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Fully Buffered • ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 1024Meg x 72 •
HIGH Density Ram WILL NOT WORK.

New install problems with Dell SATA controller

Hi,
I've just installed Solaris 5.10 on a Dell PowerEdge R200 with a Dell SAS 6r RAID card (I think it's LSI, certainly the modules were picked up during the install)
On initial boot there's a fairly long delay after the "SunOS 5.10 Version Generic_127128-11 64bit" header then I receive: (Incidentally, this isn't a 64bit
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci8086,294@1c/pci1028,1f0e@0 (mpt0):
Disconnected command timeout for Target 0

This is then repeated for a few more blocks until it eventually reaches "Hostname blah, Configuring devices, Loading smf(5) service descriptions)"
Any ideas what could be causing this? I've installed two Linux distributions as a test and not had any problems there but I get the same results if I install OpenSolaris 5.11. Once I'm actually logged in the box seems ok but obviously all is not well. I've run the dell diagnostic tools for several hours against the disks and the controller and found no errors. As above, seems fine in Linux distros.
Any help greatly received!
Craig.

Thanks everyone for your input. After combing through the iChat and WiKi forums as well as going through some of the general Apache organizations documentation, I've decided to bite the bullet and reinstall the OS and then recreate all of the setup work, Time Machine backups, etc. to sort it out completely. As is often the case with Apple's server products, they work until the DNS comes into question (change in IP, change in DNS servers, inability to reverse DNS on startup) and then everything breaks. On our older servers, we've seen the NetInfo/Directory services become unusable and often that causes the machine to hang in oblivion on startup. It's a great product when it works; I just wish Apple (or a 3rd party developer) would take into account the issues that so many people seem to face when DNS goes wrong on Apple's Server platform and introduce a "Fix" Program to allow for record and application level corrections. The most common answer to this question "the solution": go back to ground zero, lose precious time and effort, hope for a better outcome. Thanks again all for your input.

Bluetooth connection problems with Dell Axim x51v

I have a Dell Axim x51v and it has Windows Mobile v5.0 on it. I am trying to connect the Axim to my MacBook via Bluetooth, but am experiencing the problem where the devices get paired, but are not connected. Infact, when I add the device, they get connected for about 10 seconds, then they disconnect and remain this way. I do have my MacBook firewall turned off and I enabled Bluetooth sharing. Can anyone help with this?

Does anyone know how to sync a Dell Axim that's running Windows Mobile v5.0 to a MacBook that's running Leopeard? I tried doing this with Bluetooth and USB via an application called "The Missing Sync" from MarkSpace and neither of them seem to work. Please help with this if anyone knows how to do it.

Problems with Dell Studio 17

I purchased a Dell Studio 17 ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9150562&st=Dell+Studio+17&lp=5&type=product&cp=1&id=12... ) on Feb. 7th. A week later when starting up I get the blue screen that tells you there is an error and it's shutting down. It then goes into a black/grey screen that says there is a driver error or somethign like that, and gives you two options to click on...to try to resolve the issue or to start windows normally. Clicking the 2nd option doesn't get you anywhere but back to the blue screen and start the process over again. Clicking on the first brings you to System Startup Repair where it scans for the problem. It scans and scans and scans. Then tells you the computer needs to be restored. You click to restore. It restarts and computer works. It did this a couple of times on my FIRST on then yesterday it just didn't do anything. So I took it in, and was just told ok we will just switch it out and give you a new one. Great! So I take it home, run through all the startups with a new computer, don't download anything additional in the way of additional software, etc. It does it's Windows updates, says that it needs to restart for the updates to work, it shuts down...and there comes the blue screen again. Same thing. Blue screen, to black screen with the two options, you click on the first find solution and fix, wait for it to scan, click restore (which since I haven't downloaded anything restores to the point when I got it yesterday and removes any websites I may have already started trying to rebuild in my saves, etc) ..and then it works. This is what the first one did after only owning for a week. What is causing this...why would I have TWO laptops in a week and a halfs time that is doing this? And appears to happen when Windows intalls an update??
Thank You

Hello MichelleStudio!
The only thing that comes to mind to help you out here is to try to visit Dell's support website and update your hardware drivers and/or firmware. To get to your model's specific downloads click on "Drivers & Downloads" and choose the Service Tag option. It asks you for your Service Tag which is on the bottom of your laptop. Then it will bring you to a list of available downloads.
Make sure the operating system is set to Windows Vista 64-bit, as this is what your laptop came with. The important ones to update are BIOS and Chipset. But since I don't know specifically what is causing your problem, it's kind of a guessing game.
This is assuming you can get your laptop to boot up long enough to perform these updates. You said that the error said something about a driver, so hopefully updating your hardware drivers and firmware help.
Hope this helps, thank you for posting!

Problem with Dell U2711

Hi there
I just took delivery of a new Dell 27" monitor and there's something wrong with the image at 2560x1440
I have it connected to my ATI Radeon HD 3870 Graphics card via a DVI cable
The image is all pixelated
Can anyone help?
Dell support is useless and keep asking me for a number that is not on the monitor
Thanks
Rob

Robert. I am in the process of procuring my first iMac. Stron preference toward the 27" iMac as it has teh dual Thunderboly ports. I already have 2 Dell U2711 monitors which I will connect to my iMac to give me a 3 screen setup, but the show stopper is the resolution being limited on the Dell U2711's. Did you manage to solve the resolution limitation with the screens being limited to 1920x1080 or did you manage to get them to run at 2560x1440?

Problem with dell s2440

Hello,
I am trying to connect my Dell s2440 to my Macbook pro (OS Lion, 2011 version). It only works at 720p and 1080i (which is very flickering). The monitor is supposed to be full 1080p but I can't seem to get that resolution working with the macbook pro. I tried connecting a windows laptop and that works fine. PLease help me if I am missing anything.
Aj

Did you ever get this figured out? I have a brand new 13 inch MBP, and the monitor does the same thing. I tried it on a samsung with the same connector (HDMI to mini display port) and it worked fine. When using a VGA cable it works as it should on my imac.
I contacted Dell and had an hour long chat session with them to try to figure it out, and was told that: we need to update the drivers for the graphics card in the Apple system. But since we do not have any expertise in that I would request you to contact the Mac support for this issue.
I have a: Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB

Problem with microphone, Audigy 2, and a Dell (not the same problem as the 8 million other topi

Hello,?I recently reformatted my hard dri've and had to reinstall drivers for nearly everything, etc. I have a Dell Dimension 4600, and an Audigy 2 sound card. My microphone worked fine before the reformat and then it was broken. Its not that it wasn't picking up my voice (I have read that the typical problem with Dell computers and microphones was that you had to almost scream into the microphone to get it to hear anything). When I tried to record something, it would record what was coming out of my speakers, and not what I was saying (no matter how hard I yelled). So, when I was playing Counterstrike, everybody heard my gun shooting and grenades exploding etc. instead of my voice (which was what was coming out of my headphones). So I downloaded the ISO available here and through some complicated, random process of uninstalling and reinstalling the various sound drivers I found on the internet, I managed to get my microphone to work perfectly. I changed some settings before I went to bed on Sunday night, and when I tried to use my microphone on Monday it didn't work again (and I had the same problem as before).
So I reformatted again and am trying to figure out what order I installed and uninstalled etc.
So my question is, has anyone else has this specific problem (when attempting to record it records what comes out of the speakers/headphones and not what is being said into the microphone) and remembers how to fix it's? What I did was really bizarre, something like downloading Dell drivers, installing them, uninstalling them, downloading Creative drivers, installing them, installing Dell drivers on top of them, uninstalling both, downloading the ISO, reinstall the Creative drivers, install the files from the ISO, or something like that. Obviously that includes a lot more steps than are needed and because part 3 of the ISO is currently down (I don't have a CD burner so had to redownload the whole thing (I just used a CD emulator last time)) I can't work on it right now :/

Actually, it's not a problem but a setting. On surround mixer .rec source setting --> when you set it to What U Hear everything you hear becomes recorded --> for microphone recording set it to microphone (also set "monitoring while recording" on/off).

Problems with UK deliveries

Does anyone else have problems with deli'veries via DPD UK (ex Parceline)?
?
I have confirmation from Creative that two orders (made on different days) have shipped. The provided consignment information registers on the DPD tracking service but gives no deli'very information other than stating the shipping is by their 2 day service. Both orders are now overdue by any standard.
?
On calling DPD they deny ever receiving any consignments. On calling Creative they claim that "a pallet has gone missing and we are looking into it". Now clearly as the orders were made on different days the likelyhood of them being on the same pallet is remote to say the least so stories from either party have more than a faint aroma of BS about them.
?
In the UK Parceline had a notorious reputation for poor service. Their response to this was to change their name (unfortunately not their ways it seems). I am somewhat surprised that a company like Creative would risk their reputation by using such a supplier.
?
Of course Creative have my money so their concern about deli'very may not be as pressing as mine.
?
Do others have similar experiences?
?
Cheers!
?

Onderwerp: RE: [DVD Lounge] Re: Problems with UK PAL DVDs playing overseas
I think it is not the PAL versus NTSC that makes the problem as described in this forum earlier.
In Europe we have PAL, but we can play NTSC also on our DVD players. Our players (and TV sets) are compatible to both PAL and NTSC.
What makes the problem is the region code. In Europe we have code 2 and in the US you have code 1.
For a region free DVD the code 0 is given.
So you have to look at the DVD that you will purchase in which code the DVD has been made. Is it code 1 than you have to need to have a player who accept region 1 code or a region free player.
If the DVD has code 2 than you cannot play it on a American players, made with code 1, or this player is a region free type.
Most players have the region code build in the software of the player and you can make region free if you know the software code to do so. If the code has been cracked many shops do it for you for a little amnount of money (in the Netherlands that is). It the code is not known than it is not possible to encode the player to a region free type.
Some players have a region code build into the hardware (as the Sony types), and it is almost not possible to change the code.
When you make a mistake in the software encoding than it is possible that the player will not function correctly anymore, and every type has its own softwarecode, even within a certain fabricate. So it is a bit tricky to do.
On the internet you can search if the player you have has a possibility to encode the player into a regionfree type. Many hobbyist have found the software encoding method to do so and make that public on the internet. Simply use Google or so to find out, or ask your local shop if they can do it for you.
