I recently upgraded my Dell Latitude E6400 from Windows 7 to 8.1 and I discovered my graphics driver now shows as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead of my Inter (R) HD Graphics. Also, my screen display is terrible and stuck on 1024 x 768. Any ideas on how I can fix this, please?

Hello.
Pretty easy.
Simply install the display drivers.
The support section of the Dell site should do the magic.
... What? Did I just say magic?

All you need is to install the network drivers and bluetooth drivers as well

Hi.
If you meant 8440p, then you should check the Wi-Fi button on the front panel. Y'know that light that carries the WiFi symbol which changes from amber to blue when pressed ...yesss that one

You also said the Bluetooth is not turning on, well try the Bluetooth after you have turned on the WiFi.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK let's dig deeper... The Wi-Fi card might be coming to its end of life!- try another wireless card.

Although updating the drivers migh also save the day (someone suggested- please try it) but drivers do no repair hardware failures.

Hello.

The following article was adapted from PC world

Hibernation is kind of a mix between a traditional shut down and sleep mode primarily designed for laptops. When you tell your PC to hibernate, it saves the current state of your PC—open programs and documents—to your hard disk and then turns off your PC. Then when it’s time to start it up again all your previous work is ready and waiting for you. -This is what joyous is looking for


Unlike sleep mode, it doesn’t use any power, but it does take longer to start up again.


SO LETS SET IT UP
Normally windows 10 doesn't come with the feature fixed in the powe menu ou have to set it up.

Here's how...

To add Hibernate to the power menu,
click on the Cortana/search box [/b]in the taskbar and [b]type power options.
The first result you see should be a Control Panel setting of the same name. Click on that.

Once the Control Panel opens, select Choose what the power buttons do from the left-hand navigation panel.


Next, click the link at the top of the window.
Then at the top of the next screen click on the link that says Change settings that are currently unavailable


Now you can add Hibernate to your power options under the Start menu.

Now scroll down to the bottom and under Shutdown settings click the checkbox next to Hibernate. Next, click Save changes and you’re done!!! ooops I just frowned (thats what happens when you shout)that's not part of the article...no way.

Go to Start > Power and you should now see Hibernate among all the rest of the shut-down options.

I need someone that can help me sell a system urgently. HP Core i5, 800gig, Wide Screen with HD cam, Bio metric. 110k. Please contact me on whatsapp. My number is on my Signature. I might not respond further here because the thread here is not for sale of laptop rather for computer troubles.

Thanks for your understanding.

Please, how can I differentiate between factory battery and replacement battery? I want to buy hSO4 battery for my hp250g4 and I was told replacement battery is #7k and factory battery is 13.5k. Your response will go along way in helping me make a good decision. Thanks

Ewww... My windows 10 is just draining my DATA anyhow. 1gb gone less than 1 hour.
I don't even enjoy browsing with the system anymore.

Please, tech gurus..

Hello.

First of all, let me congratulate you for meeting a honest seller who told you the difference...

What you refuse to tell us is that they said the 13.5k (which I can give for 12.5k) battery lasts longer than the 7k (which I can give for 6.5k)battery...

Oh! Just incase you were wondering, I wasn't there

If you have the cash, go for the original manufacturers battery.

But then if you can make do with about 2 hours of charge while you tidy things up so you can shut down then why bother about the 13.5k battery?

With the 7k battery, you should expect some drop in performance in 6 months time and probably another replacement in the next 1year.

While the 13.5k will still be flying high even after a year and half, the performance will remain fairly constant...

In laymans terms
7k battery= 1 full. Movie (100% brightness)
13.5k battery = 2 full Movies (100% brightness) eextra 30+ minutes of work.

*cheers*

In fact, Windows 10 data gulping nature has force many Windows users to downgrade their systems to lower versions of Windows after all attempt to finding solution to disable Windows 10 auto updates failed.

There is only one surefire way of preventing Windows 10 Home Edition from finishing your data through constant automatic updates and here is the only viable method to do that

Wow. Thanks.
My browsing is now cool.
But it seems I'll just continue to share hotpot with my phone.

Moderm(Ethernet) is a no no right?

Hello House,I just got this fairly used dell Latitude E6330. My prob is, I can’t access the hard disk to delete the apps installed therein. The hard disk has got the former owner’s password. How do I override the password to access the content of the hard disk?
Can I reload the windows to get rid of the password?
God bless you all.

Hello Mross

Re-installing (reloading) the windows can actually get rid of the of the password...but you'll loose both the previous owners apps and your own as well including documents... So you'll want to back up what's important to you before embarking on that journey...
I can help with those installations
and the appropriate drivers for a token amount.

So you must have heard of this password removal tool, well it doesn't work all the time.

Since your intentions are to get rid of the content of the previous owner, I think you should go the formatting route.

If there's a password removal tool I can use please don't hesitate to help me with it. Formatting the laptop is my last resort. Please help me a brother out of this predicament.
