I have an XPS 17 L702X. I just did a re-install of windows 7 on my wife's laptop. How do I use the drivers and utilities disc to get the drivers for the hardware on this computer? I can't get online on it. I do have the discs.

View 7 Replies View RelatedNow that I've got a F series here's a new thread with tested and working drivers and utils for a clean install. The SZ and AW drivers threads are still going strong with 1500+ and 500+ downloads respectively.
Drivers and Utilites are from US & EU VAIO Support. All drivers have been extracted to bypass the model version check.
How to Install
To install extract the archive to a folder, e.g C:drivers.Open Device Manager and right click through each device selecting "Update Driver Software". See pic Install_Step_1.jpgSelect "Browse my computer for driver software". See pic Install_Step_2.jpgBrowse to C:Drivers and make sure "Include subfolders" is checked and click Next. See pic Install_Step_3.jpg
If an updated driver is found it will be installed. Don't worry if an updated driver isn't found. Some devices don't need updates.....................
Driver and Utilites below are from VAIO FTP, US/EU VAIO Support and Intel Download Center. VAIO don't always post the same versions on their EU and US sites and new drivers aren't listed for older models even though they are compatiable. Sony are also slow to make the latest Intel drivers available. All drivers have been extracted to bypass the model version check, usually found on drivers from the US site.
How to Install
Most of the folders only contain the driver and *.inf files. I prefer to install drivers this way to prevent the installation of software I'll never use.

I received the Dell N5110 laptop without OS today. Strangely package also didn't contain any disc with drivers. When I installed Windows 7 as usually it didn't recognize many devices. Ethernet controller was among those devices, so I couldn't connect to the internet and use Windows Update to find the drivers. Using my mobile phone as a modem and Windows Update I managed to get Ethernet Controller, so now at least can connect to the internet directly. But Windows Update doesn't find drivers for rest of the devices as it did for my ASUS notebook. Drivers and Download Support section for this notebook also isn't very useful, there are basically no drivers at all... So how am I supposed to find them? So annoying.. Dell, is it that hard to list relevant drivers in the downloads?
How can I find the right drivers? Meanwhile I'll try my luck with these: [URL] ....
Problem: Chucked a hot sugary drink over my DELL XPS 17 L702X laptop (accidentally!)
Actions Taken: Mopped up quickly and let Laptop dry out.
Initially Laptop booted and I managed to email 2 important documents to myself (must be more religious with my backups).
Laptop started making a whirring noise (Hard disk problem?)
Keyboard "interesting" and will need replacing
Rebooted laptop and get to Blue Boot Menu
Perform Diagnostics and get the warning (!) No Hard Drive Detected - all other tests (including memory) PASS
Have tried booting from my restore disc - but, unsurprisingly no Hard Drive Detected
Have removed Hard Drive and carefully and gently cleaned with cotton cloth
Replaced - same problem
Have tried Hard Disk in second HDD slot - same problem.
My plan is to buy a new Hard Disk (along with a Key Board)....
I have a dell xps17 (l702x) laptop recently had a problem with it , that is it wouldn't start up and when i turn it on after 2 seconds it would just crash , so i changed the motherboard , processor and and it fixed the problem to some extent .. now my problem is i that when i turn on it loads to a certain extent then when it reaches the windows start-up logo it would just crash and restart again . so i tried the diagnostic test available by pressing F12 it dint show any problem .. looks like my windows got corrupted due to the sudden crash earlier
I tried to boot from the windows repair disc but it wouldn't boot ( i did change the boot up to cd / dvd) then i tried to boot up from the windows 7 disc , it would say "press any key to boot from cd or ddvd " after doing so it would load the files and and crash again at windows start up . i even tried the safe mode option . it wouldn't load it completely and get stuck , i tried to restore to the last good backup it would still get stuck at windows startup .
Had to format my hard disc and reinstall Windows XP, then upgraded to Win 7. Windows has generic VGA driver that's OK, but it can't run any copmplex videos that it used to be able to run. I know it's 5 years old, but everytime I download stuff for the "specs" listed on website, I can't get anywhere. I'm sure there have been more than one video card integrated into the board, but I don't know where else to turn!

Does anyone know if Dell modifies the video card drivers that they post on the driver download website specifically for their machines?
Or do they just download the latest drivers from the Nvidia webiste test on a particular machine for a little while and either pass or fail the driver for official use?
which r better in ur experience for the GeForce 9600 M GT FTW?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI own a Dell 7520 and it has four 3.0 usb ports. However, I have discovered that one program I use does not support Intel 3.0 USB ports only USB 2.0 ports. So the only port that program will use is the Realtek USB card reader on the 7520 because that is a native 2.0 port.
According to a poster Innogen on the Intel support forum "The BIOS in my Dell Inspiron 7520 allows me to disable it so that the USB 3.0 ports revert to USB 2.0 functionality." but I can't find any such functionality in my BIOS (using version A06).

I tried uninstalling the Intel USB 3.0 drivers in WIn 7 Ultimate hoping that when I rebooted it would install USB 2.0 drivers but it simply reinstalled the USB 3.0 drivers.
I would really like to get this program working on my computer and while I am not happy about losing USB 3.0 functionality I can live with it until the vendor gets its act together and starts to support Intel USB 3.0.
I have a Sony Vaio VGN N130G with an

I was making a Windows 7 recovery disc set, usning the Lenovo Thinkvantage tools, and one of the first pop up windows that came up said "Note: DVD RAM is not supported for Disc 1 of the Product Recovery disc set". Does this meen that I cannot use a DVDs for a Recovery discs? That is all I have.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've installed Windows 7 on my SZ650N and it is working like a charm. Most drivers were automatically installed and now I get everything to work properly.
However, I have one question concerning the original sony utilities that came with vista. Actually, I'm trying to avoid as much as I can to install all of them. So far, I had to install Sony Utils Dll, Shared Library, Setting Utility Series and Event Service to get my FN keys to work.
Now, there are still several "to be installed":
1) Battery Care Function
2) Batery Checker
3) HDD Protection Utility
4) Video Shared library
5) Camera Capture utility
6) Camera Utility
7) Control Center
8) Power Management
9) Status Monitor
10) Hardware Diagnostics
My question is: what do you guys think it is really essential? I don't really want to increase the number of processes running so I can have fancy apps. that I'll almost never use.
Looking for something like the equivalent of CCleaner for OSX. I mostly want to clear out FireFox's internet files and clean up general un-needed system files.
Also, good utility for viewing temperatures? Something like HW Monitor would be preferable. and is there a OnyX type program for Snow Lepoard 10.6.1? I want to change some specific dock settings as well as other system settings like shadows and such.
I have been reading and i see that some people have been upgrading their ati divers using ati mobility modder tool, shoud i do this or shall i just use the dell drivers?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've posted a few questions on this forum in the past and got the help i was in search of and now I'm in another pickle and i figured I would give this place a shot.
I'm trying to find the proper driver I should be using for my laptop's graphics card for gaming performance. I have searched the web and googl'd and what not. I even went to Nvidia's website and to the download drivers section they have, but could not find any drivers for my graphics card.
My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS --MobileForce M6 Enhanced--
My operating system is Window's Vista 32-bit...
If you all could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. As well, if you need any more information or specifications just ask me and I will try to figure them out.
I'm using the 175.32 drivers for the 7900GTX on my Dell XPS M1710, but was told by a friend that there are better ones out there. On the nvidia website it only gives me Quadra NVS drivers, which I'm told would give worse performance than my current drivers. I use my laptop for gaming, not rendering.
Any other driver suggestions?
Well after succesfull XP installation (knock, knock) installed all the drivers except wifi ( cause it show when i turn it on but doesnt give me the options like in Vista ) and Memory Card Reader....

View 3 Replies View RelatedNormally I can do this easlly, but for some reason I'm having a hard time bringing my XPS16 Video drivers up to speed.
Maybe it's because I'm used to dealing with Nvidia drivers....
Can someone detail the process?
I have been running Windows 7 x 64 on my M1330 fitted with a Intel X-25M SSD for a few weeks now and all seems ok.
I did have problems with the Ricoh card reader driver but downloaded the latest 64bit Win7 driver for the XPS 1645 from the Dell site (manually installed rather than using the setup.exe installer).
All of the other drivers and control software I installed was Dell Vista x64 drivers specifically for the M1330. This is a summary of what I installed:
BIOS = M1330 A15 R207196 (Nvidia confirm that A14 or greater must be installed before updating the video drivers to the latest) .......
