i have windows 7 32-bit ultimate installed on my XPS M1330, and i discovered trouble on having the right bluetooth driver, i already check the driver using windows update, some of bluetooth driver from dell.com (exactly R226750, R159805, R140135) and none of them are solve my trouble, here some of the screenshot
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 have Home Premium Vista 64-bit and there's a college student offer for $29.99 for a Windows 7 upgrade and I was wondering if there is driver support for all of the gadgets on this laptop. My biggest concern is the fingerprint reader.
I have the bug in Vista where you can't do upgrades because of database corruption so it would be a full installation from scratch. I assume that I'd have to install Vista and then Windows 7.
I went to Dell's website and didn't see Windows 7 drivers at the site; just Vista drivers.
I have a M1330 notebook with t8100 processor 3GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS GPU.
The notebook was shipped with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, recently I have installed Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit edition on notebook. I have removed Vista and installed 7 on same partition.
The problem is system is acting weird, after 15 - 20 min of switching it on the fan makes noise and rotates fast and after some time the notebbok automatically shuts down. I checked the device manager and there I saw that it is not listing my GPU.
Are there any drivers to be installed. I have already upgraded my BIOS to A15 which is the latest available on Dell website.
I have an XPS M1330 with an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @ 2.1GHz, and 2 gigs of RAM. I'm currently using Vista Home Premium 32-bit, but I am strongly considering switching to 64-bit when I upgrade to Windows 7..
First of all, can you tell me if my processor capable of running 64-bit Windows, or is it specifically geared towards 32-bit? Since RAM is so cheap at the moment, I'm willing to upgrade to 4 gigs in order to run x64, but I don't think I'll go through with it if it means I have to get a new processor..
Secondly, would you say that it was worth the trouble to make the jump to 64-bit, given my hardware configuration? Will there be a palpable difference in performance? I mostly use my laptop for work and gaming, both hardcore and casual, and if I'll be able to get a significant performance boost by going up to 4 gigs of RAM and a 64-bit OS, I will go for it....................
At random times but every few minutes, I keep getting BSODs that reference tdx.sys.
The problem seems to occur only if my integrated Broadcom wired LAN adapter is connected. I recently ran it for a few hours straight while using wi-fi and no LAN and it did not BSOD at all.
I have read online it has to do with the Broadcom drivers, but even after updating the drivers, the problem still exists. I also tried uninstalling the drivers from Dev. Manager and letting Windows reinstall whatever it wanted. Still no dice.
One of the several Dell techs I have had to talk to told me not to turn on Windows updates after my last restore to factory settings. Anyone else ever been told this?
Sounds ridiculous. The guys name was JoJo (sp?). He told me I couldn't install any updates. Not SP1, nothing.
He said that Dell and MS were working on "issues" that would be cleared up in 2-3 months. Curiously, this is around the expiration of my warranty.
I formatted windows on my M1330 and tried installing XP x86 however when i put the disk in and boot from CD it starts the windows process and when it says 'Windows is starting..
it will hang there for 40 seconds then a blue screen will appear saying..
I'm running a Dell XPS M1330 with Windows 7 x64. I am finding that I get intermittent BSOD (error code 124). I've tried multiple drivers, multiple installation discs (Home Premium, Ultimate) and I've even swapped out:
CPU, RAM, WiFi Card, Hard Drive.
I just can't get rid of this intermittent blue-screen and the error code doesn't help at all. Googling it shows that it's a general hardware failure that you usually get from overclocking .....
Is anyone else out there running Windows 7 RC that just came out?(please don't whine about the fact this isn't production software, I work in IT and i purposefully installed this to start tinkering).
Whenever I close the lid on my m1330 and it goes in to sleep mode when I open it later I find it is turned off.
When i turn it on it boots up and says windows shut down unexpectedly and give me the safe mode prompts, etc
I formatted and did a fresh install of windows 7 RC x64. All devices were discovered.
I was having issues with the touchpad not responding after every other reboot so I installed the vista x64 driver from dell website. That resolved that issue.
Now I have been having constant blue screen 9f bccode crashes while the laptop is sleeping. When I open the lid I need to power on and it says windows shutdown unexpectedly
I am facing problem relating to PCI Device. Whenever i click on this driver in device manager i get a message that it is not installed. On updation too i am getting this message that windows could not find driver software for this device.

1. Synaptics driver doesn't work properly, will grind everything to halt, mouse disappears, external mouse will center on the middle bottom of screen all the time, touchpad will not work. This with the version posted at support.dell.com for 1640/Win7 right now, and the version downloaded direct from synaptics.com.
2. Dell QuickSet crashes at bootup time, same download as above.
3. Webcam crashes often so seriously a bootup is required, now in testing phase with Vista 64 drivers.
Since a lot of people will be moving to Windows 7 this weekend with Technet & MSDN now available, I thought it would be good to share experiences relating to drivers and what is or isn't needed.
What drivers, if any, will be necessary to load that aren't included in the normal Win7 setup?
Is a Win7 driver available from Dell at this point or does the corresponding Vista driver work perfectly?
I created this thread with the intention of grouping all who have, or in the process, or are planning to upgrade to Windows 7 x64 for the XPS M1330.
Personally I'm currently on Vista Ultimate x86 (because it's a Product Red) and I'm entitled to a free Windows 7 Professional x64 license from my school. I've read that it's not possible to upgrade directly from higher-to-lower (in terms of level of OS).
Like for mine I'd only be able to upgrade directly if I had a Windows 7 Ultimate license.
Hence for my case, I would like to seek the advice from the helpful fellas here on my upgrade (sequence) options.
Currently I have 2 partitions, as per default. C drive as OS and main partition of 285GB and D drive as RECOVERY of 9.99GB.
Questions: 1) If I were to install Windows 7 on a newly created partition, ie. F drive (as my DVDRW is on E drive now), would I be able to format my C drive (after backing up data from it) and turn it into a storage drive?
2) If 1) is possible, should I partition F drive to 20-25GB as the norm capacity for Windows 7 OS installation, or should I allocate more space? (I'm asking this because I've never done an OS-only partition + Data-only partition in any computer I own because I don't see the usefulness of it LAST TIME.
3) If I had an OS partition in F drive, 20-25GB, and the Data partition on C drive (after formatting Vista), would I be able to swap these 2 drive letters so C drive becomes my Windows 7 OS Drive and F drive becomes my Data drive?
4) If that's the case, would I still be needing D drive (RECOVERY), or can I format->delete it?
5) Having 20-25GB in C drive, assuming I've swapped F drive with C drive, where would I be installing my applications? Do I need to install applications into the OS drive or can I install it in the Data drive? Because if it were the case that applications NEED to be installed into the OS drive, I'd need to allocate a little more space in now-C drive, right?
Dell XPS M1530 is running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. The only thing that I can't get to work is the Bluetooth.
Before (with Windows Vista), I was able to connect my Dell 968w printer and Blackberry Tour to my laptop via Bluetooth with no problem.
Now when I try to print with my printer or send files to my Blackberry via Bluetooth,
it doesn't work. I've looked everywhere but I can't find the right fix. I'm guessing that maybe I need to update my Bluetooth driver, but I can't seem to find the right driver for Windows 7 32-bit
I am about to install Windows 7 thanks to my school's MSDNAA program and plan to use the 64-bit version (replacing Vista/32-bit). I remember from the bloatware removal thread where it is highly recommended to install the AHCI driver before installing the OS since there is a performance boost.
Should I continue to use the AHCI driver before installing Windows 7? On Dell's site, they only list vista versions, so I don't know if it is needed or if it even works with 7.
If I should keep using it, should I use the 32-bit or 64-bit driver on Dell's site? I know it sounds obvious that I would want the 64-bit driver if I am upgrading to a 64-bit OS, but I have heard people say many 64-bit drivers are not as reliable as 32-bit, so I am wondering if it matters which one I use
Why is it that almost 3 months after the launch on Windows 8, the driver having compatibility with the windows 8 gestures have still not been launched in the Dell US site? It is present in the netherlands site of Dell, but I cannot ge the left edge swipe (to switch between programs) and the 4 finger swipe (to bring up the instant viewer or desktop) to work.
