[Dell On Call]

Have you looked at the set-up instructions? It's just one sheet with large scale diagrams. Virtually all specialized connections are colour coded. Most of the rest are USB so it won't matter exactly which port you use.

 

If you're still uncomfortable, ask a reliable friend but don't pay anyone ... it's easier than connecting a VCR to your TV.

 

My problem of being uncomfortable is making sure everything is in it that Dell said was in it. Like McAfee, anitvirus, etc. I wouldn't know where to look for that. Plus, I want (before anything) to have all those crappy "freebies" they give that show on your desktop. I also bought the printer, scanner, fax all in one - is that hard to hook up??

I personally don't utilize Dell Support/Customer Service anymore, if you have a problem, etc., just browse their site for the solution all on your own hence if you use their tech support you'll literally wait ages to get through. Their techs are basically just reading stuff off the web that's widely available. They also have the nasty habit of not fixing anything and tell people to format to fix stupidly simple problems.

 

LMAO Eldmannen, that was funny however it seems to be very true hence I can't even order ink cartridges without getting someone with an ascent from hell that I don't understand. Outsourcing sucks!

 

Great, and I just bought the computer!! Eldmannen, I don't think you can help me, am looking for someone to "physically" set up my Dell.

I just bought a new Dell computer, has anyone ever used Dell On Call and had someone come and set up their computer? If so, how was there service? Thanks.

Eraser 5.7 will create a DBAN 1.0.1 floppy but it may not handle newer drives. You can get DBAN 1.0.6 in floppy version or CD version at http://dban.sourceforge.net/

 

It's freeware.

 

Thanks all, I really appreciate it! Have to work on it this weekend - hope it works!

Hi Patti, and welcome.

 

I think that he's suggesting that you format it.

 

Did you get it cleaned?

 

No, haven't cleaned it yet, doing it this Friday night hopefully. Thanks.

I have just bought a new computer and need to know how and what to delete from my old one before I get rid of it. I don't have much in the way of files, maybe a few letters, etc., but that is it. Is there anything in ccleaner that can help? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
