I'm a newbie here and not at all a hardware buff. My question is a very
simple one. How do I use my 1905FP flat screen in portrait mode? I
start up Word (for example) but if I rotate the screen, the document
doesn't realign itself. And typing with my head held at a right angle

The latest price cut makes the Gen 5 XPS interesting.
I'm torn between teh 3.0 Dual Processor and the "regular" 3.2 Dual
Processor.
I run a game or two once in a while, but nothing drastic. I am

Hi, I'm back with another question.  I have a Dell 128mb memory key
that I would like to use to transfer some old files to my new computer.
The old computer is a Dell Dimension L500r, running Win98 SE. Thus far
I cannot get the old computer to do anything but recognize the

Here's something to ponder:
I've been considering an XPS Gen 5.
Now I've found a reliable box builder offering up a computer with
very similar features and capabilities, but built on an Asus P5WD2

,,,I made my decision about a new desktop computer.
Choice was between a new XPS 5 and an ASUS P5WD2 based system.
Went with the P4 3.4 Mhz HT CPU
One Gig of Corsair 533 Ram

I have 4 different Dell Optiplex computers running Windows 2000 that I
use as servers and back up daily using 3 different models of external
USB hard drives. When I use the icon in the System Tray to try to stop
the drives to disconnect them, I ALWAYS get the message,"The device

My new Dell 9100 has two 160GB hard drives, but WIndows sees only one
at 295GB.
I specifically ordered two for backup / imaging.
How do I get WIndows to recognises them separately?

you know when you move the sliding bar to move the sound up or down on
the taskbar and the speakers would go thunk thunk, but now it dont do
that instead theres a beeping inside the computer when you move the
volume slider up or down, how do you get the thunking back?

I've been watching the Outlet today as they're having a good sale and I'm in
the market for a desktop.
Right now there are three Dimensions and one Inspiron at the Outlet.
Total.

When I travel, I leave a CDR in the drive of my 700. Is it secure there or
shgould I remove it before turning the computer on its side?

I received my Dell XPS Gen 4, WinXPpro SP2, Media Center 2005 Edition
PC back in January; so, my memory does not serve me very well.
Somewhere along the way, a Supervisor password was generated, and I
have it written down.

Does anyone know if the Kingwin KF-23-IPF or any of the other ball
bearing fan models of mobile racks will fit a standard Dell Dimension
case. I have two 5 inch bays open, but I have not measured them and I
read a complaint by someone of another brand not fitting.

I have a Dimension 8200 with an NVIDIA GeForce video card in it driving a
large CRT.
I have several extra Monitors (including another decent-sized Dell CRT) and
would love to make a 2- (or 3- ?) headed monster.  What's my best bet?

I'm in dispute with Dell. They offered, and I ordered, a 9100
Pentium-D 3.0ghz system with hyperthreading (HT). The shipped system
does not have hyperthreading, which I need to run multiple copies of a
CPU-intensive application.
