Dell dimesion 5150 wont install wireless dongle

Hi there! If the E173 worked with your windows 7 then that means the E173 is working properly, try to check first if the PC specialist windows XP computer can detect the dongle if not then try to use a different USB port now if is detected but won't install try to find it in the drive go to my computer then look for the removable disk or the e173 then manually install it but if after trying different USB ports and the dongle is still not being detected then check if it is compatible with that computer or you can try to use another USB device to check if the ports are working properly.

Hope this helps!

Generally, yes, if it's the same version, (e.g., "Home Edition, or "Professional", etc.Then the Operating System disk should get you going well enough to start all the necessary updates You may need to go to Dell and download the model specific driver files, updates, etc. to get everything !00%
Make sure you have the right Microsoft Product key for the installation.
Best thing you can do is back up your system and keep it somewhere separate, with all this info. There are many good free utilities for system specs., such as Belarc Advisor. It's easier to fix a broken system when you can automatically put everything right from backups, where ever possible.You are thinking ahead, instead of after a disaster!
Good luck.!

sir, i you have your motherboard installer you can use it to let you use your onboard video. please try to install it

Okay, so it seems you installed Microsoft Windows XP Home on a what was Media Center Edition installation, and the ethernet is no longer worker.
Please refer to dell.com's support section, enter your model, and download drivers that you need.
To find drivers you need, Go to start --> control panel and then go to (under classic view) system --> the hardware section, open up device manager, and then look for ones with a yellow big question mark, and get those drivers from dell's website. Burn these drivers to a CD on another computer, or use a USB flash drive if that does work.
Good luck.

You should be able to download the original driver files from Dell Support Drivers & Downloads.

However, this may be worth a try:
Go to Start --> Run, and type in services.msc.

A window will pop up with a list of services. Scroll down to Windows Audio. Right-click
and click on Properties.
Make sure that "Startup type" is set to automatic. Also, make sure, under "Service
status," start is selected.
I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.
If I've managed to answer your question or solve a problem, please take a moment to kindly rate this post....thanks!

Hi

Dell Dimension 5150 supports DDR2 400MHz (PC2-3200) and DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4300) unbuffered SDRAM Memory (DIMM). You may install a total of four DIMMs in capacities of 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB. The maximum memory supported is 4GB.

From your query, I think the obvious question is; What is specification of the PNY DIMM and/or does the PNY DIMM meet the requirements for Dimension 5150?

Check for memory configuration and installation procedures for Dimension 5150 - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim5150/en/sm/parts1.htm#wp1364711

The Chipset used on Dimension 5150 is Intel 945G Express. I am not aware of specific compatibility issues regarding the Intel 945G and PNY Memory modules. However, there may really be known issues that I am not aware of.

To proceed, ensure that the PNY Memory is compatible with Dimension 5150. If not, install compatible (memory type, speed, capacity) DIMMs.

Let me know if further help is needed.

Have you tried to install the card in the slot only,and not use the power supply. It may not need the extra power.

NEVER install the dongle before the CD.

What has happend is windows has automatically installed your dongle with the wrong driver.

Try this.

Keep your dongle plugged in.

Goto start > control panel

Click system

Along the tab at the top select hardware, now click device manager.

Find your dongle, it should be under 'network adapters' (if you are not sure if it is the right one, unplug it at this point. If it dissapears from device manager - that is the one)

Now, click on it in device manager and press delete. Click OK to deleteing the driver.

Now, follow these steps carefully:

Unplug the dongle.

Restart the computer.

Start installation from CD

Only plug in the dongle when it tells you to, or the installation is complete.

Hope this helps

Hi jammin dave,

There are certainly known issues with sharing a printer installed on an XP machine to a Vista machine. First question is whether you have Windows Live OneCare installed. This in itself causes known sharing problems.
