Updating Drivers and Utilities

The Dell support Web site, http://support.dell.com, provides driver and utility updates, as well as technical assistance with questions about your computer. Dell

regularly tests and releases certified drivers and utilities for Inspiron computers. In addition, if you have access to a computer with a modem and/or fax capabilities, you

can access the Dell TechConnect bulletin board service (BBS), AutoTech service, and TechFax service. The Dell Web site, http://www.dell.com, also contains links

to these services.

NOTES: A variety of factors determine the DVD's playback performance. For more information, read the "Requirements" section

in the release notes that came with your DVD software.

The Macrovision product allows you to view you DVD on most televisions, but it distorts the video image if played back from a

videotape. The DVD decoder software provided with your system does not allow you to play back DVDs with graphics cards that

contain a TV-out connector.

If you have a TV-out connector on your computer and your DVD-ROM drive does not play your DVD title, make sure the TV-out

feature in your graphics card's software is turned off. Dell does not currently provide a TV

-out connector as an accessory item.

NOTICE: You should reset the region code only when absolutely necessary. You can reset the

region code up to four times.

NOTICE: Do not install the Intel SpeedStep utility unless your computer has a Mobile Intel Pentium®III processor

with Intel SpeedStep technology. To determine if your computer has a Mobile Intel Pentium III processor with Intel

SpeedStep technology, check for the Intel SpeedStep item in the Power menu of the system setup program. For

instructions on using the system setup program, see "System Setup Program."

NOTE: If the computer is set to boot from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive before the hard-disk drive, remove the System

Software CD before the computer restarts so that the computer does not boot from the CD. For information on changing the boot

sequence, refer to "System Setup Program."
