I've had good results from installing the Intel matrix storage driver v8.5 direct from Intel (newer than the Dell version) but tonight I tried the even newer v8.6 version from Intel and have had two blue screens, so having to revert.

Anybody in here that can tell me how I update the intel matrix drivers to my E6500?
When I download the files unzip I dont find a exe file in that folder.
Just alot of files?
I went and put in an SD card to download pictures... Usually i would get a pop-up that asks me what program do i want to open it with.
I would always use Picasa 3. I don't get that pop up anymore nor can i access anything to open it up with a 3rd party. I have to go in and click on Computer and right click on drive F to open File from there manually..
Whenever I try to install it,it gives me
"you don't meet minimum requirements.setup will now exit"
Intel has released the new version of Intel matrix Storage manager for Mobile Intel® PM965 Express Chipset.

I have just finished installing my vista ultimate with sp2.
i have been trying to install the latest version of Intel Matrix storage manager but amazingly found that the .
exe file is not executing. is this for sp2 installed or something wrong happened with my laptop.
When installing the driver from the dv3t latest driver thread ([Drivers] HP dv3, Compaq CQ35 / CQ36 (INTEL)) my computer refused to start up. I had to system restore to start up again.
I want to get this driver because of the performance advantage it states, or at least find out if there is an advantage.
Bought a Dell XPS 16 i7 with te RGBLED a while back BEFORE reading te numerous postings on this setup.
My first issue was the OVER saturation of reds with the RGBLED monitor.
It WILL look fairly decent when watching a movie but if you're thinking about getting it for photography, you WILL NOT be able to CORRECTLY adjust the saturation levels...and also, the brightness is WAY too bright even at its lowest setting. Be cautious about 'reviewers' who say the extra $$$ is TOTALLY worth it to get this monitor...it might be ok for gaming and multimedia (alto even during those applications, I found it rather distracting) but I NOT recommend this for professional uses...don't be fooled by 112% gamut. If you feel the need to purchase this laptop, stick with the 15.6 LED...but then that begs the question: Why buy a 16 inch laptop that as a 15.6 monitor??
Secondly, Ive begun find reports that the 90w power adapter is inadequate to power the laptop. Forum users have posted benchmarks showing decreased performance using the 90w adapter compared to the battery (lol). I think this may explain why my monitor was flickering every so often while plugged in. Very annoying. Ive read of people calling and calling and calling and calling Dell CS and finally calling getting them to ship out for free the 130w power adapter which seems to fix that problem. (pretty sure you can search here and find info on this)
Thirdly, Ive been researching DDR2 compared to DDR3 and, please, correct me if I'm wrong, but using 2 dimms of DDR3 is rather ineffectual since the i7 core is built to utilize a triple channel setup. So it seems the XPS 16 doesn't really get to sow off ALL its performance.
And lastly, the idea of a subwoofer in a laptop SEEMS like a cool idea, but considering the build quality of the XPS 16, all it really did on mine was VIBRATE the plastic seams...and I couldn't really turn off or lower the bass enough even as a workaround.
I guess since Im writing this, I might as well share about the 9 cell battery...again, seems great to get a larger capacity battery, but I found it annoying to have this BULGE coming out of my laptop bag. And considering I wasnt getting much more than an hours worth of battery with the RGBLED and an i7 cpu, I always had my underpowered 90w adapter with me. Im pretty sure they include the 9 cell b/c it adds some room underneath the laptop for extra ventilation. Im wondering if they've had some warranty returns due to overheating.

Well returned my E6400 today went quite smoothly. The system was great with the exception of sending it with the wrong display a CCFL not the LED WXGA as in the outlet Details and Order Confirmation.
I been looking in the Outlet several times daily since Tuesday for a suitable placement, Tonight I scored one similar specs as the one I sent back , now I’m thinking ” see persistence and patience pays off”.
Check the specs one more time everything looks good, click checkout and confirm. Soon I browse my email Order confirmed WXGA LED click on the hyperlinked Order Number for a detailed view of components installed ……Lo and behold CCFL !!!!!!!
I immediately contacted Dell and explained the problem and cancelled my order, the agent told me to stay on the phone as she would transfer me to a sales rep who then will make sure I’ll get a LED display on a comparable spec’ed machine. 30 minutes later the sale agent answered and questioned what system listed in the Outlet would I be interested in.
I explained I was told she would work that out for me and find something similar to my past orders but with an actual LED display, she then said all she had was what was listed and further stated that one cannot go by order confirmation of what the system specs were
However measurements conducted using a professional grade meter severe issues:Yes the colors do pop but green is widly oversaturatedMost colors have incorrect hueYes maximum luminance is very high but black levels are very poor, so the contrast remains below 580:1Color temperature is too high (greyscale suffers from a greenish tint)
Those issues cannot be solved:Calibrating the greyscale to a different color temperature (65K standard) reduces the contrast significantly. Adding some red will fix color temperature but also increase black luminance and hence reduce the contrast.The color saturation and color hue controls do not alter the green color in any significant way.
While the display may be ok for gamers who like nuclearly inaccurate colors, the display is very poor for what it is supposed to do: displaying Bluray films and other video content (after all this is a 16/9 HD media laptop)The poor black levels mean the picture looks flat and 2 dimensionalThe color inaccuracies lead to radiating grass and foliage as well as incorrect skin tones.
I am including the details of my measurements below, as well as examples of ow the color settings of the ATI Catalyst Control panel affect the readings.
Contrast
Black Level: 0,48cd/m²
White Point (maximal luminance): 270cd/m²
Contrast: 560:1
Unfortunately, this is merely average, as most competing non LED panels have contrasts of 600:1 or higher. Also any good screen should have black levels below 0,3cd/m² .....
Few days before i started a thread regarding the display issue .. and today i was got a replacement for my keyboard...
the old one was very strong and sturdy ... the new one was fragile, and flexible.. i called the CC then and reported that teh keyboard is very fragile...
he told me that currently all replacement keyboards are like that...
it seems that Indian customers are the ones who have been ill treated with cheap parts...
I bought a second hand M1330 on ebay with the intel graphics. I can't seem to get a driver installed no matter which one I use. I've tried both Vista and Windows 7 but in both cases when I'm trying to install the drivers, I get an error message saying
The computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
Setup with exit.
I've tried both drivers from the intel site as well as the dell site but no luck. Any ideas?
I'm trying to get the latest video driver from Intel, but I couldn't install it. It gives me a message saying something like the product compatibility is not verified for my system. How do I get the latest driver for my gm965 chipset?

I followed a couple threads on here on how to format and reload everything from scratch. It has worked perfectly and I'm much more happier without the Dell bloatware. That said, the only issue (not sure if it's really an issue) that I'm having is with the WiMAX 6250 driver. I downloaded the latest drivers from here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...18748&lang=eng
They aren't even listed on Dell's website (not that I would use Dell's over Intels anyway).
The wifi and everything seems to be working fine. However, when I look under device manager, it's the only one that has an "!" on it. It says that the driver isn't loaded.
Again, I don't know this is really a problem since it's working, but I just wanted to make sure this won't hurt me down the road or if anyone else knows how to fix it.
seeing that Dell released a driver supporting 6300, I went and bought one to replace my 5100. Plugged it in, and it wasn't recognized. Fair enough, I went to reinstall the driver.. which immediately finished. Setup log said error discovering intel device, or something like that.
Problem is, the device is working fine as far as windows is concerned - it is detected, I can connect using windows networks screen. But ControlPoint Connection manager does not see it.
What am I missing?
When installing OS , it is possible to load ACHI driver.
From DELL driver download page is possible to download:
Matrix Storage Manager Notebook Driver 7.5
The latest version of the Intel Intel Display Adapter Driver available on the Dell website is 6.14.10.4980 dated 08/25/2008..
The Intel website shows Version 6.14.10.5029 dated 01/21/2009 is available..
Has anyone updated their E6400 to this new driver? Does anyone know of any specific benefits or problems with this new driver?..
I'm in the process of creating an XP Pro operating system install for my new Inspiron 1545, on a new SATA hard drive (taking out the original SATA hard drive from Dell with Vista preinstalled to use as separate bootup opsys which I have to reinstall to zap all the bloatware later).
Things were going really really well (I thought) with setting up my new drive with XP and I got past the problem that bites most folks (SATA hard drive not being recognized by XP install), by switching the drive in BIOS to ATA mode b4 doing the install.
I got XP completely installed & activated AOK, with only a few minor wrinkles which I was able to figure out. Applied a few simple quick tweaks to XP to make it easier for me to use (disabling autoplay, killing the search dog, setting folder views, removing stuff I don't use like Windows messenger, MSN, etc).
Then I went to install all of the necessary Dell drivers from the website for the 1545 for (in order) Intel GM45 Chipset, Video, Ethernet, Dell Quickset, Wireless, Sound, Card reader, and Alps touchpad.
I had figured that stuff out already and had all the drivers copied over to the new PC ready to go .....

I try to install the one download from the Sony website and the one download from Intel website, but there is a error message come up to say I have a imcompatible machine (something like that). Because I can't install the newer Intel chipset driver, the SM Bus Controller is not installed properly too. It has a ! mark besides it.

I recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit edition on my Vaio FW490 (upgraded from Vista 64). I received the free upgrade disks from Sony.

Laptop: HP ProBook 450 G1 core i7Â
I bought a manufacturer refurbished Inspiron 5720, i7 3612QM, 8GB RAM. The BIOS is currently A12. When I received it, it had a bad hard drive. Dell sent me a new hard drive under warranty, but it was blank and I had to use a recover CD to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have installed every recommended and updated driver for all of my hardware components. But, everytime I install the HD 4000 drivers, the system starts to freeze up.
The system runs fine with the Standard VGA driver, but I can't run anything that requires better graphics. I have tried installing every version and they all cause the system to freeze. Sometimes it freezes during the boot up and sometimes it will run for up to 2 minutes before freezing. And by freezing, I mean that it just stops working. Sometime if I let it just sit and wait, it will shut off automatically. Other times, it just stays frozen for hours and I have to hold down the Power button to turn it off. When it restarts, it boots to the Safe Mode option screen. I then have to boot to safe mode and restore the system to a previous recovery state.
