Solve : HELP ! Problem with Dell Laptop?

Answer»

Hello EVERYONE..
I had been having some problems with my Dell Inspiron Laptop lately. It would shut down on its own without my own doing. I figured I could have a virus or something so I tried to download the latest updates from Microsoft for Xp. I downloaded about 9 of them and the last one I was tryin to get was the SERVICE pack 2.  Since my computer turned off by its own, it didnt complete the download. I tried to turn it back on.. Through safe mode and I was told to unistall it.. Once I did this I was not able to connect to the internet through my cable modem as I usually do.. I called the Dell people and they ran through some solutions while none of them worked.. Right now I'm in safe mode. I have a feeling the reason why the internet wasnt workin in regular mode was b/c when I unistalled the Service Pack it messed with my configurations. If anyone has any ADVICE it would be GREATLY appreciated!  Thanks so much..

HOOAH!! Well a Service Pack from Microsoft will not help a "virus or something". Try a system restore, and if that doesn't work it's time for a reinstall of Windows.The laptop came with a CD containing all the system drivers. Did you try REINSTALLING them? Quote

HOOAH!!


Hey! You can't do italic and bold together!  

I would slipstream SP2 with your XP CD and do a clean install, then add your programs. That way you can see if one of your programs causes a conflict with SP2.
