Help..

Hi..

I bought Dell 1420 lappy & happy wif it. Other than the pre-installed software, recently i encounter problems in installing software like ADOBE Acrobat, Flash etc.

After running the installation procedure, there will be a prompt stating as follows:

Error 1935 or 1603
An error occurred during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="X86". Please refer to Help & Support. (I can't find any help topics to solve tis...)

Then it prompt again stating as:
'Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.'

What does it meant by my system has not been modified? I can't work cos i can't view any pdf file w/o acrobat reader or any other software i'm tryin to installed.

Anyone can help me?

Tq.

yeah, there's a SIM card slot there but Windows doesn't detect any hardware for that particular SIM card device leh..... I've even tried put in my 3G SIM card in there, nothing happen......

You need a Broadband Mobile card from Dell. Here's the link

Actually I'm in the midst of getting another dell laptop, should I include extra memory in this package? will it be cheaper? it cost $97.37 for 2x 1G ram from dell together with new laptop.... or should I buy separately from outside shop?

Hmmm, that price sounds reasonable enuf. I heard 1 gb ram for lappie costs around 60+

Yupz ... My understanding is you will need a WWAN card together with the data SIM to work.
But, too bad, our local ISP do not have WWAN mini card for our lappy ...

Just to check,

does anyone knows if the Kingston 5300 DDR2 667MHz memory works well with both Inspiron1420 and Vostron 1400?

Thanks.
