Hi Brent, Unfortunately (as the subject of the mail heading implies) I don't have a Dell Inspiron laptop - I have a Toshiba Tecra 8100.
Please resubmit this to the laptop list as a whole for a better response - and maybe limit your questions to one or two in hope of getting a sensible reply. Apologies for not being able to help, and good look finding your answer!
