How can you use your television set as computer monitor?
You should be able to purchase an adapter at your local Radio Shack or equal. The problem you will run into is the pixels(amount of dots per inch)in a computer monitor are double that of a TV. Due to this fact, the text will appear fuzzy.OK for games though. Good luck.

Look at your electronics store for a 'TV-out' card. This will probably be a PCI card which you will need to install inside in your computer. You can then hook up your TV's cable to the back of the card.
How do i fix the volume of my laptop?
The Dell Inspirion 1525 comes with an Sigma Tel Audio chip, integrated into the motherboard. While playing some sort of sound, clicking on the volume in the clock/taskbar area reveals that the volume has a green indicator bar, but there may also be a shadow bar that is much higher.
The reason for this is the Sigma Tel device driver/software has a volume for the headphone jacks and the speaker volume. To adjust/increase the volume on the Dell, you will need to check the following areas:
1. Volume Mixer - This is pretty standard, going back to Windows 98, simply click on the volume icon once and then click the mixer link; or, if this doesn't do anything, just right-click the volume icon and select Open Volume Mixer (I have Rhapsody and find that if it's open and playing, I have to open the mixer, by right-clicking the volume icon).
2. Playback Properties for the Sigma Tel device - This is easily accessed by right-clicking on the volume icon in the clock/taskbar area and selecting Playback Devices. A dialog box will open and you will see tabs for Playback - Recording - Sounds. On the Playback tab, click on the speakers/headphones device (if you have sound playing, you'll see an equalizer-looking volume bar that is moving), next click properties. The Speakers/Headphones Properties box will open and you'll see tabs labled General - Custom - Levels - Enhancements and Advanced. Click on the Levels taband you will notice there is a volume control for speakers and headphones, I have my settings at 100% for the speakers and 50% for headphones. This seems to work out well. You can also try adjusting the settings on the Advanced tab, if you don't like the outcome, you can just click the Restore Defaults button.
Hope this helps and happy listening!!!

How do you make laptop go faster?
2.5 ghz core 2 duo
To incease speed of laptops you can follow these instructions:
1. Run a security scan for your laptop. Don't be lazy and think you can deal with the infection files later. If you frequently visit various website and download files often, your laptop will have high risk to be infected. It is really necessary for you to have an anti-virus software to protect the laptop computer. This is the most important step to speed up laptop.
2. Remove hidden junk files on your laptop to speed up your laptop. How long haven't you clean up the junk files? Too many junk files on the system will slow down the laptop speed by occupying the system resource. To delete those hidden junk files, please: Open "My Computer"--"Program files" and then choose the programs you never use or want deleted then just delete the folder.
3. To speed up your laptop computer, you also can disable some unneeded services and programs on the laptop startup. To do this please: Click Start--Run--type in msconfig--under the services tab you can disable the unwanted services. In addition, under the "Startup" tab, you can choose and disable some of them in order to speed up laptop boost speed.
4. Scan and fix Windows registry on your slow speed laptop. Perhaps you will ask that why you can speed up your laptop by cleaning registry errors. Registry stores all of the configuration settings in the system like a brain to human. Any incorrect registry settings, corrupted registry will make your laptop run unstable. If you leave the corrupted or malicious registry entries there and continue to run the damaged system, this potential risk will not only slow your computer down but also crash your system. If you never repair registry errors on your laptop, you can try this method to speed up your laptop.

Dell laptops can you install odd number memory?
Yes, you can have any number of sticks, odd or even, inside a computer nowadays. The issues that matter are that they are the appropriate speeds and types of RAM, are of a size that the motherboard can use, and do not exceed the full capacity that the motherboard can address. For example, if a motherboard indicates that it has four RAM slots and can address a total of 32GB of DDR3-1600 RAM, then that implies that the largest stick that it can address is 8GB. Therefore, do not bother to buy 16GB or 32GB sticks to put on the board because the system will not recognize them. Further, do not buy DDR2 RAM because it is cheaper as it will not fit into the DDR3 slots. Also, if you already have RAM installed that is running at, say, 1333 MHz, unless the RAM is the same price for 1333 as it is for 1600, don't bother to get the 1600 because it will be slowed down by the slower RAM and you will have wasted the money to get the faster RAM. In the corollary, however, don't buy slower RAM if you already have faster RAM. The reason being that the slower RAM will bottleneck what you already have.
As long as you stick to these simple rules, you should not run into any problems and can add any RAM upgrades that are appropriate for the motherboard.
If you have any other questions or need help choosing the appropriate upgrade, feel free to drop me a line.
