What sort of problems?

These are the only 2 issues that I have ran across with mine and since making these corrections that I listed above everything else has been running just fine.

Is yours running Vista or XP ? I bought this Vostro 1500 with XP because I wanted a newer laptop but did not want Vista.I have liked the XP operating system the best of any that I've previously had and after dealing with a ME that was an unstable mess I wanted no part of trying to run 2 computers that maybe would not be quite as interchangeable as I wanted them to be.

Hope you can make yours work like you need it to !
