View 10 RepliesI was getting ready to trash my d430. It was running XP and my SSD was so slow, painfully slow boot up, outlook loads, you name it.
I decided to try w7 and now it feels like a new computer. Boots up very quickly and my SSD is now running very fast, no hangups. Maybe it just needed an annual format and reload
I couldn't get a SDHC card to work with XP, nothing over 2gb. I tried an 8gb sdhc card and it also works. I'm going to get a 32gb class 6 card, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it works, and I will have 64gb of storage.
I think I'll hold onto this notebooks for awhile longer.
I loaded Windows 7 onto a Dell Inspiron 1100 and learned the hard way
that I need a WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) compatible driver
to gain screen clarity. Currently, I can't navigate to a place to even select
correct screen resolution for a 14" LCD (it's 1400 x 1050) I beleive.
At any rate, there's a pulldown menu to select Dell drivers here-

QUESTION:
Which driver(s) are the anser?
Sorry for overload of questions recently. I ordered an XPS16 ( ) and I am waiting for it to get delivered.
1) Where do I go exactly to apply for the upgrade for windows7?
2) Do I apply AFTER the laptop is delivered or can I apply for it now?
3) After I filled out the respective application, Dell sends me the Software whenever windows7 comes out?
4) I see some posts in threads stating that users with xps16 are using Vista and/or Windows7 and/or XP. Windows7 is not even out yet... how are people doing that
I want to re-partition my HardDisk & install Windows 7 64-bit, on my Dell XPS 1530 (about 10 months old) which came with Vista 32-bit.
Please help me with a step-by-step guide. I haven’t experimented with any laptop yet & don’t want to screw my laptop .
Section - 1
My Laptop has only 2 visible partitions, but disk manager shows 4 partitions total as follows (in order):-
1.(Unnamed/invisible partition)86Mb - EISA Configuration
2.Recovery (D: ) NTFS file system 9.9 GB, primary partition
3.OS (C: ) NTFS file system163 GB system, boot, Pagefile, Active, Crash Dump ....
Just got it working, in my earlier attempts I tried all the latest W7 drivers from the Sony FTP site, but the latest sony utils don't seem to support the SZ2 anymore.
In the end all it took was using the 'old' vista drivers from the Europe VAIO support site:
http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computin...N-SZ2XP_C&os=7
Use the correct order:
- Sony Utils DLL
- Sony Shared Library
- VAIO Event Services
- Setting Utilities Services .....

i recently upgraded my acer 5536 laptop to win7 from vista via the upgrade disc i received after sending off to acer as i bought the laptop last october. i had previously made a vista recovery disc using the erecovery program built into my computer.
now i've upgraded i thought i would make a win7 recovery disc but i find that the built in acer software for doing this is now not on my system.
2 questions:
1. how can i burn a recovery dvd that i can boot from and reset my system to its first day as win 7.
2. if the above is not possible, what would happen if i tried to recover using my previous vista recovery disc. would it put my system back to vista or completely muck everything up?
Has anybody tried to install Windows7 on this machine?
I have the following model:
AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual Core TL-50 (1.6 Ghz,512KB L2)
15.4" WXGA wide CristalBrite
ATI X1300 128mb dedicated
2 GB DDR2 - 667Mhz
80 GB 5400rpm SATA HDD
There are no Windows7 drivers on Acer driver download page, but I've been told that I
could run this system, just to install it and that it will download and install needed drivers itself!
I'm unable to play the MP3 songs thru windows media player in Windows7 and I'm using Dell Vostro 1500, while trying to play the songs its giving error message as "server execution is failed"

In control panel devices it tells me to troubleshoot the laptop and cannot rectify problem with Broadcom virtual wireless adaptor. Secondly running the diagnostics say the Read test is not running. These are the only problems but are not affecting the efficiency of the PC. Should I ignore it?

I has a rudimentary Linux installed, which I want to delete and then install a Windows7 Prof SP1 64bit from DVD.
After changing the order of the boot devices and putting the USB-DVD drive first the Travelmate tries to boot from the DVD but then tells me 'Security Boot Error'. I tried it more than 10 times, same error each time. The external USB-DVD drive is working fine on another computer.

I also prepared a bootable USB stick, but this one doesn't even get noticed by the Travelmate.
how to get Windows 7 on a Travelmate?
So this new Intel Rapid Storage supposedly images your Drive onto an external drive... Doesn't this accomplish the same thing as Windows7 backup utility?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm about to receive my very first MacBook, and I will be using BootCamp in order to have both Mac OSX and Windows7 on it at once.
I've always been one of the first one to jump right upon new driver releases etc.. I always keep my eyes open, watch Station-drivers.com every day and things like that.
Now there is one thing nagging me, where do I actually get Windows drivers for the MacBook Pro? Do I need to get Windows7 on it in order to run something like Everest to identify the hardware specifics?
Wont really be any problems with either the graphics card, CPU (turbo boost) or chipset as the MacBook uses the same HM55 (or PM55) chipset like every other i5 / i7 based notebook out there, same goes for the graphics card and the turbo boost feature of the CPU.
What I don't know is where to figure what drivers to use for the iSight webcam, nor the touchpad? I don't even know what company who have manufactured them?
Is there some sort of drivers list for the MacBook Pro? Or do everyone just relay on the standard Windows7 drivers? (tend to hate those drivers, also like some up-to-date dedicated drivers right from the manufacture of the different pieces of hardware in the machine!)

I have an m1530 that I bought back in june of 2008 with an nvidia 8600GT. In the past few months my gpu temps have been rising while I have been gaming. Its even gotten up to 98C while playing WoW, which makes the game really choppy and unplayable.
I can get the temps down to around 90C while gaming if I keep a box fan pointed at the bottom of the laptop, kind of like a poor mans cooler. How can I get my temps down? What SHOULD they be at while gaming?
I notice the ventilation to the left of my Inspiron 1420 has been running hot lately - too hot to touch, so I ran CPUID Hardware Monitor and I got these results .........

I have two 7800M GT in an SLI configuration (not sure whether that its one physical card or not but is recognized as two) in my M1730.
I disabled SLI to save on power, but was told in another thread that simply disabling SLI does not cut power to the second GPU. If that is the case,
is there any advantage to disable SLI? Would the fans run less? Why do they provide for such an option in the first place?
Is it normal for the Dell Inspiron 1420 to run hot?
This is my GF's notebook.
The specs are:
CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5GHz
RAM- 2GB
OS- Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
HDD- 160GB
It gets almost too hot to touch on the bottom.
Its pretty uncomfortable to use.
I got mine XPS m1330 in april.. Didn't like Vista because I felt that I didn't have control over my computer with all that superadmin etc and it being slow.. So I installed XP a couple days ago.. But now I've been used to Vista and didn't like XP, so I switched back to Vista.. Much faster this time around without all of that preinstalled software for now...
Now I have two issues..
First issue is the fan works constantly and sometimes is stops for one second and runs for one second and does that all the time, it is driving me crazy.. By the way, the laptop is not warm at all..
The second issue is that I had to switch SATA HDD in bios to ATA from ACHI(?) and disable something in BIOS which I don't remember the name now before I could change to ATA. Now if I try to enable that "thing" and switch to ACHI from ATA, Vista doesn't boot..
Is it a problem that it is running in ATA or it doen't matter?
So the other day I decided to actually read through the crap that dell gives you (safety and precautions stuff) and in there it said with the new lithium ion batteries its actually better to not let them die and keep them above 40%.
In turn I decided the best way to do this is by charging them fully then just taking them out and letting my computer run off of the outlet.
Worked so far for me and this will prevent charging/discharging my batteries constantly. Anyone else done this? Any negatives to this (other than the obvious, which is if power is disconnected it will turn off). My computer is a studio XPS 1640 by the way.
I was given "Mercenaries 2" as a gift, and it is as of now, unopened - so it could be returned if need be. I'd like to run this on my 1530, but would rather return it if the 1530 is not equipped for this game. Anyone playing this game on a 1530?
Dell XPS M1530 | T8300 | 4GB RAM | 15.4" LED LCD (1440x900) | 256MB 8600M GT | 320GB 7200RPM | Vista Home Premium |
The S1440/Studio 14z is constantly running hot for me. It is running the fan all the time and very hot air blowing. I can also hear the hard drive making some noise some times ...Is this sign of trouble. I just i have 1 browser and IM client running and no video or audio streaming going one. The fan is constantly running & blowing hot air...
Anyone facing the same issues..Should i try getting an exchange from BBY ...I would appreciate any tweaks which may be needed to make it work cooler. It is hot to the extent of uncomfortable on lap.
All right, what doesn't look right here?
