What do i do?

Hey guys, expecting my dell m1330 tomoz between 12 and 4

Now, once i get the laptop out etc. D i need to charge up the batt like you do with a phone before you use it?

Or can you just turn the latop straight on and have a party???????

Also, im getting vista and the guy at the kiosk told me and microsoft program after 2000 will work on it?? So microsoft word 2003 will be ok to run on vista???

CANT WAIT TILLLLL TOMOZ!

CHEERS GUYS!

 

Just plug in the AC adapter and start playing, battery will charge

Don't believe the kiosk dude, Office 2003 will run on Vista. Get Office 2003 SP3 Update here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0d-954b-44a2-b8a1-e0f2e717d387&displaylang=en

Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Service Pack 3; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows Vista; Windows XP Service Pack 2

 

So i install the office 2003 first and then install the sp3???

Im noob at all this stuff

Cheers for your help

 

yeppers install and add service pack and then go to windows update and install the patches that will be advised for windows and office..cheers!!!you shall like!!!!!!the rig will charge asyou use it when you have it plugged in...

 

First thing i would do is get rid of all that crap dell puts on it and do a clean install
It will run alot better
Theres some guides you can find on here by searching
You can also then decide if you wanna stick with vista or put on XP
I personally prefer XP

 

ill do that after i have a snoop around vista

Gotta get a mate to help me with the clean install.

 

Its pretty easy , well actually painless
for xp follow the guide thats on here , its piss easy
I got another 1530 arriving this week
First thing i will be doing is putting on xp, already made the streamlined cd ready

 

i read that Windows Vista Update won't install Office 2003 updates so you might need to get it from the link above

 

You will want to first plug it into the mains and then you are good to go, you will need to set up with your details for your account and stuff like that, then your off.

First thing i normally do will be to do a start-up clean-up because i hate slow start ups so i get rid of everything expect windows stuff, power management, wireless, Anti-Virus and Firewall. All else isn't needed really. Then you can just clean up your hard drive, because i know dell will put a lot of bloatware on the machine. There isn't really any need to format straight away as it will obviously be faster than the current computer you have.. so you'll be happy with it I'll bet. Then it's just transfer data and then have your notebook party!

 

Cheers guys

Adobe pdf should work on vista yeh?

Most of my lecture notes are pdf's and i need them more then anyhing else.

So its relitively easy to reinstall vista, if youve never done a reformat before???

CHeers
