has anyone of you new owners of XPSS16 login to the link below, register and download the pre-installed software for your laptop? well,
i've tried and got registered but right after i pressed Register System and allow Syspro.exe to run, nothing happens.
this is frustrating. the SW like PowerDVD for bluray, Roxio and face recognition are not part of the CDs included and we new owners supposed to login, register and download the SW ourselves .....
I just recently upgraded to Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my Studio 1737 laptop. Can anyone tell me the best method to determine what drivers from
Dell I have and which ones I need? I went to 'Drivers and Downloads' on Dell.com, but I cannot tell which ones are already installed other then the obvious(quickset, the wifi card driver, etc.) ......
Heres my problem: For some reason while I download my computer becomes unusable. Everything completely slows down. I cant even type normally because i type faster than it shows up on the screen. Trying to listen to music doesnt work either cause it just skips. Same with browsing the internet. its like my laptop becomes stoned.
Ive contacted XPS support and they didnt help. I was with them for like 2 hours and they couldnt figure anything out. At the end they just told me to reinstall the OS.
Ive had this problem for quite a while now. Ive reinstalled Vista and it still has the problem. You can see my specs on my sig, but I'm currently on Vista Home Premium cause reinstalled the OS.

My son's desktop (HP Pavilion 500-164) keeps disconnecting from our wireless interner (Netgear 03 router) when downloading. We have reset the modem, changed the channel, installed the network driver from HP website, and went through all the troubleshooting tips. He is receiving an error message when booting up (there was a problem starting C:WindowsSystems32LogiLDA.dll the specified module could not be found). Could this be related to the problem we are having with his internet connection?
I have a sony fz-180e and i had to reinstall my whole operating system and i lost the viao camera capture utility application and i cant use my camera what so ever, can any one help me with this? I need to get the softeware again but i cant find it ANYWHERE.....
I've been working on this issue on my own for about a week now. I'm not entirely sure how to start explaining, so I'll just do a rundown of the noticable issues.
Hovering over the speaker icon gives me the text, "No speakers or headphones are plugged in." I use the internal speakers, and I always have my headphones plugged in. Audio playback troubleshooting doesnt give me anything (though at one point during my progress, it said that my audio device was disabled.)
Device management has been confusing at best. I can't seem to get the Realtek W8.1 drivers to properly download, even after finding the Acer-support driver.
I have problem to check HP Updates using HP Support Assistant for last two months. It always fail downloading updates. Latest analysis was at 9 Oct 2011.
How to fix this problem? When I check latest version of HP Support Assistant, it says it is the latest version.
My computer is HP Pavilion dv7-6107tx Entertainment Notebook PC.
I erased all my data from my computer (Aspire V5-561p-6823) I want to download the Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater 7.5.1.1 in my computer .. but I don't know where I can do it ! I've tryed everything and I still haven't found it.
i have a Sony VGN-AW31M/H and the Vaio Update site says there are 2 updates available, a WinBD one and a bios update. When trying to download either of these, a small download window appears with 0/xxxxxxxx bytes but no progress happens. Eventually it times out with the error above.
I have tried resetting IE cache, deleting the C:update folder, adding the vaio update exe to the windows firewall, im not sure what else i can try.
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 just finished formatting my hard drive and installing Windows 7 Pro (coming from Vista Ultimate).
My computer will not automatically switch between running the internet via wireless, and running on the ethernet cable.
Here's what happens... I have the ethernet cable plugged in, I unplug it and it should automatically switch to wireless and still be connected to the router, but it doesn't.
And it does the same thing vice versa. Ethernet cable is unplugged and I am connected wirelessly to the router, I plug the cable back in and it is still running on the wireless.
I bought a WWAN card for my XPS 1530 and installed it today.
While doing a bit of googling I came across a modification to the registry that allows you to enable a GPS feature on the WWAN card, so I tried it. A quick reboot later and my XPS 1530 has GPS enabled.
I've not been outside to try this as of yet, so I was wondering if anyone else has done this or has any experience of it?
but on the card is said revision A01. In the BIOS, the Video BIOS version is 005.071.022.028.002.000. I wasn't aware they're made 2 revisions of the 7900GTX, is this card still safe to flash with the modified BIOS here?
I noticed that the OS was installed in the HDD instead of the mSata Solid State Drive, I was wondering if this is a normal standard factory setting or is there something wrong with my unit?
I believe that the whole point of the SSD drive was for quick booting and this is obviously not the case in my system.
i've recently downgraded my OS from Vista to XP and i've been successful in installing most of the drivers, except for the audio driver.
i've tried installing it from dell.com other websites, XP compatible drives, etc. but none of them works. did anyone have similar problems? does anyone know how to fix it?
got the Mini 9 at Best Buy yesterday, with 1GB Ram and 8GB HDD.
The HD measured 7.1 GB in Windows with about 3GB free.
I took McAfee Security off it (don't like it and only 30-day trial), loaded AVG Anti-Virus, Windows Defender, Word 2000, and IE 7 and the latest Windows security upgrades.
Now it has less than 1GB left free. (And .NET framework 3.5 wouldn't load - possibly due to memory).
I don't know if there are temporary files that I could delete, but I am concerned that in six months, she won't be able to load security fixes b/c the HD is full.
How are others handling this, and is this typical?
I am considering telling her to return it for an Asus with a real HD. I know there are 16GB and 32GB SSD cards out there, along with external HD's, but don't want to deal with that expense and bother.
my acer 3680 had crashed andi has nstalled an xp cd from dell which went fine..but in the device manager under other devices theres yellow question marks next to everything under that tab..drivers i need im sure its all to do with internet not working..but dell driver wont install..so what do i do for these drivers the acer had vista to begin with..evrything else works fine just cant or dont know how to get the drivers..
I bought a M6400 recently, and asked that XP be installed and Vista be available..... So I have XP Pro OEM SP3 preinstalled on the machine, and Vista Ultimate Sp1 available on a separate DVD... I'm not ready to go to Vista yet, so I want to run XP for now. However, I am certain that Sp3 is at the root of practically all the problems I am suffering, and I need to get rid of it. Anyone have any idea how to do this? The Dell XP disc has Sp3 on it, so I can't simply hit "uninstall" and get rid of SP3. I have OEM SP2 XP discs available and have a moderate knowledge of slipstreaming, so I just need some pointers. My other laptop, a Lenovo T60P, has only Sp2 installed and is suffering none of the issues the Dell has, so I'm pretty sure that Sp3 needs to go.
Can anybody post me a picture with the 9 cell battery installed? I found one picture but it doesn't really show how it looks all together from a distance Is there anyone willing to shoot some pics of it for me ......
Dell offer the Wireless N option so I wondered if the 3rd aerial connection was built in but tucked away if you choose the Wireless G option only so in order to use it I'd have to open the back up to route it into the bay?
I have a 3rd aerial anyway bought from a 3rd party but of course the built in one (if available) would be a better choice for performance .....
I went ahead and followed the information on this forum on adding a second hard drive through an optical drive caddy
DIY: Adding SSD or HDD storage using an optical bay caddy
I've posted the problem in that thread ... and I may be breaking some rules posting a new thread ... I just know there has to be a simple answer to this that I am not seeing ... so I am desperate, so here we go!
I've added the Optical drive caddy into my M1330 successfully... at first. My computer was actually in hibernation when I took it apart (battery and all) to install the caddy.
I took out the slot load drive and installed a Momentus 500gb drive. Put the Comp back together and started. Vista recognized the drive as if it were just plugged in I could browse files and copy to and from the drive.
On reboot though, the drive is no longer detected. The "fixed bay device" notification in the bios under "Device Info" claims that nothing is there when it would normally show the DVD drive.
Device Manager does not show the device once Vista is booted, and it does not show up when I scan for new hardware. The computer boots fine as it did before, and I even rebooted using a thorough POST behavior to try to force it to recognize the HDD in in the caddy the PATA slot .....
I just installed W7 and can not find Roxio Creator anywhere on any of my disks, I have all the disks that came with my 1737 I never had to install Roxio and never looked for it before.
I installed the FX2500M upgrade on Monday, and last night I did a reapplication of the AS5 on the cpu, and when I put everything back in and booted back up....NOTHING!!! The screen was very very dim, although the image was visible, which made me first think it was a power issue with the lcd display. Plugged in an external monitor, picture comes out fine, but i8kfangui can't read the GPU's temp anymore?
So I chat with the infamous people over at Dell, and to my surprise, within 10 minutes they promise a replacement display. I think my problems are solved.
But just for kicks, I throw in my old ATI Radeon X1400 in and lo and behold....the big DELL BIOS logo pops up, bright and beautiful! Everything is back to normal, except now I don't have the wonderful graphics performance that my FX2500M was giving me.
Now I'm absolutely lost...how could the FX2500M be producing a dim image on the laptop display if it outputs perfectly to an external monitor? I find no correlation between the back light of the lcd display and the output of the GPU, especially if another gpu works fine.
I bought for my dell 1526 a kit of 4gb ddr2 667mhz (2 x 2 gb) but the problem is that the laptop does not boot with the ram kit installed.I tried to use only one module of 2 gb and is the same thing. It powers up and stays with the power led on and does nothing.I tried a separate 1 gb module and the laptop works fine.Can it be that the ram is bad or incompatible?
I upgrade Dell Inspiron 6000 to Windows 8.1, almost every Driver is ok, but only this Driver could not be installed (Mobile Intel ® 915GM/GMS, 910gml express chipset family), I have try everything but not succeed, is there any Driver similar that could compatibility with Dell 6000
Wife's 1720 originally came with one 250GB SATA HDD running Vista Business 32-bit. I decided to upgrade it and have bought Windows 7 Home Premium and 2 SATA SSDs. A 60GB Intel 520 series SSD is placed in HDD bay 1 and a 120GB Intel 330 series SSD is placed in HDD bay 2.
When I powered it up with the windows 7 disc, the machine will not boot up at all. After the initial bios screen with the progress bar, it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor. I cannot go to bios by pressing F2 nor into boot menu by pressing F12.
I eventually decided to remove the 120 GB SSD and this time, it booted up and installed Windows 7 on the 60B SSD. After installation and driver updates and reboots, I shut it down and re-installed the 120GB SSD. I selected F2 during boot and inspected the BIOS. It has detected both SSDs so I exited the BIOs and Windows 7 booted up without issues. I then formatted the 120GB with simple volume and then transfered wife's data from her old 250GB HDD (now in a Nexstar external case) to the 120GB HDD.
After installing some additional apps and McAfee AV, I restarted it. However, it is failing to boot again. Same old thing. Cannot go into BIOS by pressing F2 and cannot go into boot menu by pressing F12. I have not removed the 120GB SSD yet to see if it is causing the issue.
Just installed Windows 7 64bit on my inspiron 1420 and its running fine. the only driver i'm having a hard time finding is "base system device" (location: PCI bus 3 device 1, function 3). i have no idea what it is and have no idea where to start looking for it. Dell's driver and suport website has to be one of the worst site ever cuz its soo hard to find anything. so if someone can help or have any idea i kind of need some help. and can someone show me were to get windows 7 64 bit drivers off the dell site? i'm looking to install the touch pad drivers so i can get more of the options and features.
