Urgent I Just Got My New Dell Laptop and I Already Screwed Something Up!

In summary, if you accidentally spill liquid on your Dell laptop, immediately turn it off and unplug it, dry off the exterior and interior, and do not turn it back on until it is completely dry. To improve the speed of your laptop, delete unnecessary files, clear internet history, and run a virus scan. You can connect your laptop to a wireless network by clicking on the network icon, selecting the network, and entering the password. It is possible to upgrade the RAM on many Dell laptops, but make sure to check compatibility and maximum supported RAM for your specific model. If your laptop won't turn on, make sure it is charged or plugged in, and try holding down the power button. If the issue persists, seek professional help

I FINALLY got my new Dell laptop about 5 minutes ago and I already screwed something up. It's totally not a major problem just annoying...

When I turned the computer on the very first time it asked for my name well for some reason I typed SUND and hit enter. I want my name and not SUND. I have Vista and want to change it but can't figure it out. Can anyone help me? :lol

Thanks.

Good for you! You are now a genius!
 
Congrats on your new laptop. My daughter just got a Dell for college. I want one so bad for myself, but I have to fix two broken cars and pay for gall bladder surgery first:)!

I know what you mean Rhonda. The only reason I got one is because it's financed through my husbands work and they take out $20 out of each paycheck for two years. I'll never see that so I consider it a free laptop! (My husband doesn't agree with my thinking though).:)
