Hi LordVader,

After the clean install of Windows XP, do you recall installing the Intel Chis set drivers next. Without these you can see odd issues with your hardware.
Here is the Dell link for your E510 series

If you have these installed, then consider Clearing the NVRAM, click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 11, article 2.
If you do not have a floppy drive and if after Clearing the NVRAM you get a message about the floppy, enter the BIOS and turn it off.


Best Regards




God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do
and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Hello

Thanks.

Hi Undertaker,

I received your PM and made a couple of suggestions, you mentioned reinstalling XP, so you will need the Intel Chipset driver and your Decodng Software, should be PowerDVD.


Best Regards!
