I have a e1705, when I got it I had Windows Meadia Center but since then Ive had to format and Im using Windows XP Pro SP3 now and since I put this on,
I had the original drivers from Dell working with the Service Tag lookup on their website.
I had to format again, and this time around, with the same copy of Windows, those drivers, and every other copy of the drivers I can find wont work
here's the problems:
1. The damn CPU whining? I know everyone has it. Dell said last time I called that they're working on some way to fix it. The new A09 Bios didn't seem to do anything for me, or anyone else apparently according to dell's support forum. What's up with that?
2. My laptop wobbles on the top right and bottom left corners. it only wobbles if I use my 6cell batt, and it doesn't wobble w/ the 9 Cell. So does that mean the 6cell's rubber feet thing on the top right corner isn't high enough? Can dell fix that?
3. The "increase volume" media button thing isn't as responsive as the other ones. i have to press really hard to get it to respond. all the other ones i just tap it lightly, and it works.
Here's some questions that I know Dell has no clue what to do with:
4. I'm currently using Vista Ultimate on this only because I couldn't get my bluetooth driver and my sigmatel audio driver to work properly on XP. since dell hasn't released a xp bluetooth driver, i used WIDCOMM 5.1 stack, and the bluetooth headset and stereo headset drivers would disable the sigmatel drivers. really annoying. cmd51229 says he's gotten it to work:..........................

Not sure why Sony is not releasing the latest driver in their support site.
I thought this would not be such a big deal when I bought it, but I was wrong. i8kfangui does not work, I turn power to 'power saver", but even then fans go full speed. It does occasionally slow down or off, but seems completely random. Right now I see core temps at 35 and 37, with fans at full speed.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an m1530 which I upgraded to 64 bit Windows 7. The default audio driver from windows update didn't allow me to use the microphone, so I used the Vista 64 Sigmatel driver from the dell site.
Because of a slight audio popping issue (many other people have discussed this) I updated to the IDT drivers for the m1645 as Black Russian recommended. Then I searched even further and found this list on laptopvideo2go:
http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/top...l-idt-drivers/
I installed the newest one there (6255) and it seems to work pretty just as well as the other ones did
2 days before (on Vista) I was able to use the front audio panel. I was able to use headset with microphone.
Now I can only use headphones becasue W7 is not picking up anything, even though I have set it in Sigmatel control panel to be microphone.
i want to be able to play music on my webcam and found i need to use stereo mix to do this but i dont see any support for this with this audio driver.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have managed to install win 7 x64 on Inspiron 1420. The only problem so far are the audio drivers. My audio card is Sigmatel HD.
I tried to install a version from vista x64 but I have some noise problems in Skype.
What kind of drivers are you using in x64 Win 7 for your inspiron 1420? Helped needed.
I need those drivers and software. I was looking around but I can't find anything (maybe you had luck).
So If it is possible for someone who has already dealt with this to post links, it would be appreciated.

I finally got the hack for the STAC9228 drivers working. Should work with M1330 and M1530,

My speakers went dead after a restart.
Running XP. Had this problem last year, but finally had them going again after install/uninstall of a multitude of drivers, including Sigmatel and LG and other versions.
Now they are dead again. Used the Dell diagnostics utility and the speakers are fine as well as the headphone sound.
But when I am in XP, I need to connect my headphones to have sound from both the headphones and the speakers, weird. Tried all kinds of Sigmatel drivers, but abandoned after 2 days .....
I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 T9300 with a Sigmatel sound device.
I am missing the option to record "what you hear" or "stereo mix".
OS = Vista & XP (dual boot).
I finally got the hack for the STAC9228 drivers working. Should work with M1330 and M1530, if so, please send me a short email with the tested configuration!

My CD-ROM and DVD Drivers are corrupt and I need to reinstall them. I have open in Windows Explorer the Dell folder where the drivers are located,
but I do not know which one(s) is the CD-ROM and DVD drivers. Does anyone know? Here's the snapshot:
I was playing thief deadly shadows on my e1705 when the screen freaked out and showed this message.(look at pic)
I held the power button to shut it off and when i rebooted the lcd would not show a picture. I figure the gpu is dead. Well i left it alone for the weekend and booted it up Monday morning to see what it does and it was working ok. It took a bit longer than usual to get past the DELL boot screen but it showed no glitches or anything. so I played thief for about 30 minutes and the screen freaked out again and displayed the message. my question is this a driver problem or a hardware problem? I started using a new tweakforce driver to overclock the go 7800 about a month ago. I used a different tweakforce driver for years to overclock before and never had a problem. I used to use an 80.xx driver and I switched to a 94.xx a month before the crash.
The latest Nvidia 8 series XP drivers are 158.22 [url]but on laptopvideo2go.com the highest # driver is 165.01 but the most recent driver is 162.18, and furthermore the "Latest Driver" as reported by the column on the right on the site is 158.28. I've very confused as to which driver I should get...

Clean installed win 7 on my new xps 1330, all went well and everything is functioning, including the biometric fingerprint reader. Problem is with the Broadcom/Widcomm BT driver that won't install, not even in win xp compatibility mode.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAs more and more 7950 users were complaining of Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) installs on drivers I began to look into the issue personally. I was able to track down its cause to the ever popular coolbits. Apparently, for us 7950GTX users, this registry entry is not so cool. I will give three strategies for repairing this problem. Note that both pre-install and post-install refer to the driver installation.
Caution: All three of these methods will prevent you from being able to use the Nvidia Control Panel to overclock.
This is not a big issue since the control panel interface for coolbits isn't all that great anyway. Just use ATITool, NTune, or RivaTuner to overclock your card if you wish.
Pre-Install BSOD FIX
INF Modification
If you are using a LV2G driver then this is the quickest method.
Open up the driver INF and remove the coolbits line.
It most likely looks like this:
Code:
HKLM,"SOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak", CoolBits, %REG_DWORD%, 0xffffffff
So just search for "cool" within the INF and delete the whole line.
Proceed with the installation.
You should be good to go.
Post-Install BSOD FIX
You may be forced to use one of these methods if your driver set does not allow access to the INF.
Registry Overwriting
I will post an explanation later but all you need to do is download this file
Most likely you will have to install it in safe mode (F5 on startup)
Once you install it, reboot.
Your problems should cease.
Registry Deletion
Start -> Run -> Regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak and remove the coolbits entry
There is another, even newer driver available from the E4300/E4200. Thanks to Logan_Nolag for posting that. It is even more responsive than the Studio driver.

The touchpad is now up there with the Synaptics from my old XPS m140.

I tried it on my E6400, and it updated to the newer drivers without issue. I am definitely noticing a diffference in the touchpad.

I just reformatted my computer because after a year of internet browsing and downloading a bunch of games my computer wasn't preforming like it used to...
with that being said, I've been having some problems with reinstalling my drivers.
My Nvidia GeForce 9800m GT video card is being picked up by the computer but is encountering (error 43).
The other day, one of the video cards was working and the other had this error (error 43), now, since I've tried to reinstall the drivers both are not working. When the one was working I had downloaded the driver directly from the Dell.com website. I downloaded the drivers (that are currently not working) here [url] under The "Best" Drivers For Your Laptop. The two files under Windows Vista-32bit (my os) won't extract saying that no hardware was found that was compatible for that driver.

Added DUP package.
I haven't a clue what the DUP package is. The real change, as far as I can see, is that I no longer have to manually disable the internal speakers in order to get bass out through the external audio device.
Any idea if Dell will ever release an updated GPU driver to support Flash 10.1 hardware acceleration?
Currently the driver is 8.15.10.1855.
EDIT: Never mind. According to the Adobe release notes PDF, support starts with driver version 8.15.10.2021. Looks like we're outta luck until Dell releases a newer driver.
I'm trying to download a driver from Dell and all I get
is the download of their "DellDriverDownloadManager"
I have already downloaded and installed the manager. When I run
it it says "no files are selected. Please go to the Drivers and
Downloads to select a file"
