I have Dell Latitude D420, Windows 7 Professional was installed few days ago. Since, sometimes, the wireless connection would turn out to be very slow; most of time is normal though. The wireless card is Dell 1490 dual band WLAN mini card. I tried to find a driver to be compatible with Windows 7, but, can't find it. Any suggestion?
I just installed Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude D505 and my screen resolution is terrible. I'm having trouble locating the right drivers on the Dell site and to tell you the truth, I don't even know what I need.
When i start my Dell Laptop Latitude E6510 i get no screen. When i connect an external screen i can see the system did start and i waitong for me to logon. While i am starting i also do not see the bios startup on the screen.
I've tried many different beta builds of Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude D610 including and up to build 7229, but they all have the same problem. Everything works great except for the video driver that is downloaded through Windows Update. The video card driver that is downloaded through Windows Udate is the "Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family". Once the driver is installed, and the laptop restarted, everything looks great at the native 1400x1050 resolution until I click on the Start button or fire up IE8. Then the entire screen washes out I can't read anything. It's hard to explain, but basically it looks like the contrast and brightness is turned all the way up and makes the laptop unusuable. I tried downloading the drivers from Dell's website, but they are for WinXP only and I didn't have any luck installing them. I also tried going to Intel's website and looking for a Win7 beta driver for my video chipset but didn't find any.
I have a Dell D600 Lattitude laptop that was running Vista Home Prem.I usually do clean installs but I thought I would give the upgrade option from Vista to 7 a try. Anyways, the upgrade went really smooth. I realize that ATI doesnt support the 9000 series anymore. I was wondering since windows had a driver for the 9000 series for Vista, would it be possible to use that one? The only prob I am having is I cant seem to find the driver anywhere. (googled it etc...) Windows update catalog only lists XP/2000 drivers I dont think I could install the 9000 series driver in XP mode because of WDDM.
Laptop Specs:
Intel 1.6 GHZ ATI Mobility 9000 2 GB RAM Realtek onboard sound Intel onboard wireless ( really surprised this works in 7!) 120 GB HDD
When in the docking station (), however I tend do have problems. I thought initially it was just related to the NIC card as it seemed to only start misbehaving under a lot of network activity and disabling the NIC and running only on wireless seemed to fix it.
The Dell I have I bought used off of eBay so I do not have any of the discs. When I turn it on this morning, it has the screen, "windows failed to start....". There was no recent hardware or software change. when I try to run launch start up repair it gives me this message. The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003) <clicked ok> start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically either>>>detail, Start up Reapri Offline. To use System Restore, you must specify which windows installation to restore. Windows cannot check for memory problems. When try to just select Start Windows Normally, it begins and when it gets to the glowing Windows 7 Logo, it freezes with the 4 glowing windows boxes. When I hit F12 and try to go into safemode, it shows a huge list of drivers and then just freezes. I was on something else that I now can't remember and it said "no diagnostic utility partition found." Like I said, I don'thave a CD for this computer.
when i turn on the computer the 1st screen i see it the dell screen and i can see the loading bar load. after it completes it load it goes to a blank black screen with the courser flashing in the upper left corner and thats it.
Is there any way I can have Aero on my laptop?? I cannot give you the specs of the video card because it calls it "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and I have no specific info.. there is also something titles "Video Controller" but it doesn't have the drivers for it.
