Dell £339 Laptop 15.4" widescreen, wireless, DVDRW (NOW GONE - that's all folks!)

I put AVG on and it is noticeably faster. I am also hoping to add an extra 512 ram to bring it up to 768mb as this will become my main computer.

I'm going to add another 512 to mine as well in the near future, RAM usage gets pretty high with only 256.

Wish it was still £25.99 though, £28.34 now :mad:

When playing back DVD's on my Inspiron 1300 15" Widescreen, the video is not full screen - there is a very large gap both at the top and the sides of the screen.

I understand that the image will only be as large as the aspect ratio allows - but surely this should only stop when either the top or side of the image meets the edge of the screen.

I have tried the dell DVD player, Windows media player and cyberlink power DVD.

Thanks

You can change the settings in Power DVD to fill the screen. Don't ask me how though, but I have done it, and it works

Feel stupid now - it was the DVD i was testing with , for some reason that disc wouldn't play full screen, but others will.

Doh!

We've all done similar I'm sure , but at least you now know it's nothing wrong with the lappy.

Mine arrived today. Decluttering it but stepped out for a while and its gone into standby.

Had a go, but can't figure out how to get it to wake up.

What's the magic button?

Quote from the manual:

To exit standby mode, press the power button or open the display depending on how you set the options on the Advanced tab.

You cannot make the computer exit standby mode by pressing a key or touching the touch pad.

Thanks. Mrs Me walked into the room and figured it out straight away. I'm sure I tried the power button, but it did nothing for me. Must be an art to it. Chhers.
