Dell :: M4400, Pre-installed Win7 Ok, Re-installed Win7 Not Ok...
Feb 18, 2010
I received my Precision M4400 with Win 7 Pro x64 pre-installed, and using it for audio recording and playing everything works great. However, since Win7x64 drivers do not exist for some of my audio devices,
I decided to put in a new HD (same as the original, only larger) double-booting XPx86 and Win7x64. So I installed XP on one partition of the new HD and Win7x64 from the CD that shipped with the M4400. Big problem...
Neither XPx86 nor the re-installed Win7x64 are able to deliver anything but crackles and pops and noise only slightly resembling music. Forget about recording...

I noticed there was no Notebook System Software download for Win7 for my E6400 and just wanted to confirm that that is correct?
According to this post from October:

Also, can I forgo the Control Point software and just use the OS Hardware manager? Any of the varied DCP downloads absolutely required?

I've upgraded my precision m2400 about 2 weeks ago and noticed that the battery life has gone down significantly even when adjusting the power options / screen lighting / keyboard backlight and wifi.
Wasn't windows 7 suppose to improve battery life on laptops? The battery life has gone down by about an hour with variation on different power option settings. Anyone know how to fix this or anyone else having this problem? I'm using it with a 9cell battery.

Does the Win7 upgrade kit support a fresh install or just upgrading the current Vista installation?
Does anyone know if I can activate a Win7 64 bit using a Win7 32 bit activation key?

I currently have 3gb of Corsair Ram(2gb+1gb) on a M1330, 2.2ghz, 120gb hdd, with Win 7.
I know Vista only recognized 3.2gb RAM with video ram/system resources eating some ram. Does Win 7 recognize the full 4gb?
I am trying to maximize performance for photo editing and would like to know if I should bother upping the memory to 4gb. I heard putting in same RAM chips(2gbx2gb) will allow dual-channel performance. Is the speed difference using dual-channel noticeable?

I want to put a different driver on the laptop for my 8600m gt card. I'm running Win7 x64.
I want overclocking ability, which is easy enough to find, but I'd also like to retain functions like sleep.

In Device Manager it shows: UNSBGH QBWHEN8X2305 (Drive Name)
The Actual Drive: TS-U633A
Has anyone experienced this problem? I try updating the firmware from U633A-U633C but it wont update and detect the "actual drive".

I have 8gb RAM on my laptop and so far no problems installing all the programs and drivers. Win7 did detect the drivers needed and accurately targeted Dell's website for the appropriate drivers... card reader and such. Programs loaded so far:
Office 2007, Acrobat Reader 8, Adobe CS4 (both 32/64), Panorama Factory, Roxio Creator 2010 Pro, Slingbox, Quicktime. Will load more but it took me almost all day to do these ones. Future programs includes Canon's Zoom Browser and other web browsers

Every now and then my PC goes through the bootup process but as Win7 (x64) starts loading, it says Please Wait...
and then the screen starts flashing continuously... wont take me to the login screen.
only way Dell reckons to resolve it, is to go in Safe mode and go back a Restore point.

Just received my XPS 14 with Windows 8 pre-installed. I would like to use Windows 7 on the laptop instead. I was able to install Windows 7 just fine but I am not able to get SRT working on there. I have the Intel Rapid Storage Technology application installed but the Accelerate button is not showing up for me.
When installed Windows 7 with SRT enabled in the BIOS and loaded the driver so that both drives (mSATA and SATA) are seen. I installed the OS on the non-SSD SATA drive and left the mSATA alone. After installing Windows 7, I loaded the drivers and application software for RST but the Accelerate button still doesn't show up. Both drives shows up in RST application. how to get the Accelerate button to show up so that I may use the mSATA SSD drive for caching?

Wondering if anyone has some recommendations on what drivers to use with this configuration. I have the Dell 5530 Broadband modem and the broadcom swipe sensor without drivers.
I can't seem to get the Vista x64 versions to install.
Is dell control point recommended or not? I have the beta versions of the nVidia drivers and they seem OK. Are there any other Dell drivers that are recommended that work in Win7 x64 or should I just wait for Dell to put some up on the support site?

I have Studio 1555.
After I have been installed the webcam driver and its webcam central,
windows 7 didn't start anymore and get "blue screen" with this error code:
0xc000000e
and it say that one of the devices is inaccessible.
So I assume it's due to the webcam installation.
The only solution was to reinstall Windows7.
How can I install this webcam driver so windows will could be start,
and won't crash at the boot process.

I recently installed win7 on my new studio 17 (1737) and since then the drive doesn't seem to recognise the discs as blu-rays, with powerDVD bringing up "there is a disc with an unsupported format in drive (F".
It worked fine beforehand, with whatever version of powerDVD that came pre-loaded, but after it won't play on any version.
It was a clean install of win7 (x64), and I've downloaded the updated firmware for the drive from the dell site (it's the CA10N, think it's LG-ish).....

I just installed Win7 RC 64-bit on my xps1330. Everything is working except the screen brightness setting.
Windows 7 screen brightness settings in power management act more like a switch than a slider. When set below a certain point, the screen either dims to a very low level and flickers, or turns off completely and the only way to restore it is to close the lid (sleep), and then wake the laptop.
The [func] + arrow keys also work erratically. As it stands, the screen can either be on full brightness, or very dimly lit and flickering, or off completely. Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms

I hope this is the correct forum. I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong spot or if this issue has already been addressed. However,
I have searched the forum and other spots on the internet and have had no luck with this issue.
I recently upgraded my Studio XPS 1640 to Windows 7. Everything seems to be working fine, except for my webcam. If I look at the device manager, it lists 4 highlighted areas as problematic under 'other devices":
1) Base system device
2) Base system device
3) Base system device
4) Unknown device .....

Do these things work properly after a Win7 install (without Dell Drivers) or are you guys using the Vista Drivers off Dell's site for these two things

I have a Dell Precision M4500, I recently changed out the HDD as the one in the machine was getting full.
Since doing this I have ran into no end of problems, first of all, upon installing WIn7 onto the new HDD where I had to change some bios settings, no problem really. Then when installing drivers it would ask for a restart and upon the restart it would get caught in a loop. I would reinstall Win7 again and then go through a few drivers and when it needed to be restarted same problem.
Now there is another problem, I cant boot into windows at all, it come back with this error:
Boot Manager:Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".3.Click "Repair your computer."If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.Status: 0xc000000fInfo: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
I have the Dell Win7 64bit repair CD in the disk drive and it is reading that it is there,
When I run the start up repair and the Dell diagnostic tool both report back that there is no error....

I have the HP DV2 1010eo. It's got the AMD Neo and ATI 3410 GPU, 2GB ram and 500GB HDD.
First thing I did when I got it was to instantly install Win7 on it, because I read the OS performs alot better than Vista, and it was a great oppurtunity to not having to sit and remove all the bloatware from the Vista installation.
But Win7 runs really really really bad. The Aero is very slow when the windows have to slide open, it doesn't do it smoothly but lags it open, and everything just doesn't feel as smooth and fast as it does with Vista installed on it, which is weird since Win7 should run better i guess.
My main concern was that I just needed to update the drivers, because I remember vista running slow and laggy on all computers I've worked with, untill the correct display and chipset drivers are installed. So I installed the Catalyst beta drivers for Win7, and it installed the GPU drivers, but didn't install anything for the north- or southbridge, and Win7 still ran like crap.
It did score the same scores as Vista do in Windows experience, so how come Win7 still runs a lot worse than Vista on the DV2?
