Hello everyone,
My Dell Inspiron 1150 seems to have completely crapped out on me. I have tried reformatting it several times and still end up with the same result, a nearly useless laptop. The computer boots up and logs into windows XP perfectly, however once there, it is stuck on the largest video scale and does not recogonize some internal parts (such as wireless card). I have tried the Dell Chat service and the utility programs they provided did nothing for the system, i even tried burning a copy of service pack 1 and installing it but it did nothing. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction, i tried the recovery where you hold ctrl and press f11 but nothing happens :(. Any advise is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
