Had this computer for a few years, when I downloaded Google Chrome it started acting glitchy and Chrome would crash while I was browsing. Recently started having problems with the battery, tried taking the battery out and now shuts down every time I unplug it. Any troubleshooting that might help? Thanks.
Your Google Chrome glitching is due to needing more memory. (if you have a lot of add-on, I'd remove some of them and see if that helps some)
On the battery issue - your battery is rather old, and needs replacing.

Thanks for the response damanpreet_c.
The volume button on the video and of the computer volume control are all to maximum.
I tried watching the same videos on other computers and they work fine.
However, Dell computer which used to play Video X through browsers A,B,C and had sound out now doesn't have any sound out. The same Video X after downloading on the same computer has the sound out. The same Video X without downloading through browsers A,B,C have the sound on other computers. Would this imply that on the Dell computer, the browser has some issues with the sound drivers in playing files?
Thanks again for the response.

open your my computer, click on "c" the system will tell you the information is hidden, click on the link and open up the operating system and look in the drivers or there in C and se if you can find you web cam driver, when you find it you might have to force the opening of the driver to install, and once you do that plug your web cam in and see if the system see's it and installs the drivers for the cam, if you installed the driver origanally witht he web cam installed you will have to remove the web cam and unistall the driver and re install it and then plug the web cam back in, and that should help correct the problem.

Just call Dell, don't take it back to Best Buy or anything (that's where I got my Inspiron 1565). They will put you through a couple troubleshooting items and decide whether it's the AC adapter went bad or if they have to replace your motherboard. It's all free since they have a 1yr hardware warranty.

It also says it's not detecting the battery. And I don't think there's any antivirus software on here, either. (It's actually my mom's laptop, we got a virus on it before and now she's afraid to download ANYTHING. Including antivirus software -__-)
