Comment on Dell Inspiron 6000 Display Driver & Hibernation Issue by Sootah

You’d have to get the driver CD directly from Dell, but rather than going that route (as it’ll take a while to be delivered) http://support.dell.com/ is a good place to start. You can find drivers for pretty much any recent-model Dell PC there.

“Drivers & Downloads” is one of the first and main options shown on the site. You can narrow down the search results by product type, model, and then finally operating system.

Here is the link to the Inspiron 6000 main driver page. (Works for me at least in both IE and Google’s Chrome browser)

Comment on Electrical Surge – Computer won’t power up by Sootah

You have a couple of options. You’ll either want to remove the hard drive from your computer and hook it up to another machine to see if the other machine recognizes it, or you’re going to want to plug a different hard drive into your machine and see if your machine recognizes the new drive.

More than likely the thunderstorm fried your hard disk as storage devices don’t take too kindly to electrical surges or brownouts. Hard drives are especially hard hit as they have both electronic components, and motors.

I highly recommend having your machine hooked up to an uninterruptable power supply (also known simply as a UPS, APC is an excellent brand; currently the one I use), preferably an intelligent one that will actively regulate the power being fed to the computer. This tends to greatly increase the lifespan of the computers that I’ve dealt with.

Following thunderstorms in the area the computer won’t boot up. Booting from the system disk there is a message “Can’t find a hard drive.” What do I do now?

Comment on Cannot download anything from the internet – Security Settings Too High by Rena

I’m having the same problem, I have done everything suggested here, on Yahoo!, Google and even Gaia, NOTHING is working to correct this.

I have been trying to fix this for over four hours, I’ve virus scanned it twice; first came back with over 160 infected objects, the second time zero.

My computer–or should I say laptop is an IBM Thinkpad.
