New Xps 420
Hey I just got my xps 420 yesterday and there are things I wnat to know.
The bluetooth light, is it meant to stay on all the time and what is the button next to it meant to do. Ive pressed and not seen any affect.
Secondly, the startup is soo long, even when its got quad core and 3gb ram, compared to my old single core pc it takes a lot longer. When switched on it takes about 3-4 minutes to startup. For most of the time in the startup I have a green bar refilling and a blank screen. Is there a reason for this or is it a fault or can I speed it up myself. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

On the front of the dell xps 420 processor, between the media card reader and the video input conncetions, the is a bluetooth symbol glowing bluw and next to it there is a button. There are no bluetooth device connected and there are no other usb device connected, only the keyboard and mouse.
Also, when I try to open the dell support centre I always get take to the american site and not the UK so it soesnt work. any ideas?

SonechaT,
Where do you see the light? What USB devices did you have plugged in?

Yes the bluetooth symbol is always litup blue. This does not mean there is a bluetooth device connected to your comp, just an indicator light specifing bluetooth functionallity.

As Dave pointed out the button is for pairing. As far as the boot speed I'm just guessing that your new to Vista. If you switch to 64 bit and install 8 gigs of high quality ram your start up speed will fly.93

* Power the PC off
* Disconnect all USB devices from the PC except for the mouse and keyboard. Any USB mouse or keyboard should be plugged into the USB ports on the back/rear of the PC
* Power the PC on. Did it bootup faster?
