I installed the Dell Data Protection software on my Latitude E5540 and it is blocking a certain website. Disabling the browser components did not seem to work. Using another browser gave me the same problem. I tried to uninstall DDP and it's no longer showing in Add/Remove programs, but it also did not work. I contacted Dell and the website and they cannot help me. Any suggestions I can try to fix this?

We are working with multiple servers, all of it with dual NICs. To provide connectivity between the servers to the firewall LAN interface, we are currently using a single unmanaged switch. We have two Dell 3524 switches and two SonicWall NSA 4500s. How should we set up the two switches and how should we connect them? We want to be covered just in case one of the switches or firewalls go down for any reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed Win 8.1 on my laptop, an HP Probook 450 G0 and made sure it has been installed with the most recent updates available. It came installed with Validity Fingerprint Reader but I can't use it. There is no option for the fingerprint sensor on the window sign-in options. Nothing happens when I roll my finger over the sensor. What do I need to do to make it work? Do I need to install other software?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it's not able to recognize the simcard inside it. I reseated and made sure it was properly inserted into the slot then turned it on. The simcard was still not being detected so I tried another simcard and it did not make a difference. What is wrong with my phone? Is there anything I can do to fix it or should I just take it back to the carrier and make them fix it?
