Dell is a solid company and they make decent networking gear. Personally, I’ve had some pretty bad luck with those tiny WiFi cards that don't have external antennas—or even the option to add one—so right now I’m sticking with this: http://www.amazon.com/wireless-adapter-802-11ac-dual-band/dp/B01N6T5YV2
I've mostly just stuck to Microsoft—specifically Adobe Illustrator—which is pretty similar to how you'd use Adobe Photoshop.
If you're looking for free vector software, there's Adobe Illustrator—wait, I mean Inkscape. As for a free alternative to Photoshop, GIMP is probably your best bet. Here’s a tutorial on how to turn a simple image into a vector using both Inkscape and GIMP: View on imgur
Glad you got it sorted, though that was a weird one. I wonder—did the reinstall happen to pull down newer drivers than what you had before? Maybe a new chipset (INF) driver dropped, or perhaps those older drivers just had some bugs when handling larger amounts of Microsoft memory.
If you figure out exactly what caused it, please let us know. 😁
If you’re actually thinking about picking up a new keyboard, maybe try taking this one apart first—check the internal connectors, specifically the wireless modules and stuff, rather than just the keys themselves.

I'm just trying to answer what you asked in that other photo—it looks like it's asking for a Windows XP installation CD, probably for a specific driver.
Like the others mentioned, Windows XP is pretty outdated now, so you're probably going to run into more issues, especially when it comes to gaming.
If you actually manage to fill this thing with 200 GB of data and everything stays readable—well, I’ll publicly issue a formal apology to the manufacturers in China.
Usually, though, branded cards like this don't even drop below $100.
I’m dealing with the exact same issue at work—though in my case, it’s a laptop. It turns out we have a hardware failure in the motherboard, specifically within the chip handling the USB controller (I can't quite recall if it was the northbridge or southbridge). Since the repair cost was just too high at the time, we didn't bother fixing it.
For us, that sound pops up in bursts—maybe two or three times within a few seconds, then nothing for five minutes, then once, then nothing again for another thirty minutes or so.
I basically "solved" the problem by just getting rid of the sound itself: http://www.overclock.net/t/543736/di...een-pc-on-kvms
