View 6 RepliesI upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and I'm so tempted to go back to Vista...if anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated!
I have the Dell Studio 1737. Since I've upgraded to Windows 7...my CD/DVD driver barely works, the finger reader doesn't work, webcam doesn't work...and now I can't view video files...the web goes to 'not responding'. I have updated my Flash, that did nothing.
Any ideas?
I upgraded my operating system from Vista to Windows 7 and the integrated webcam is not functioning well?

I show me the message of finished uninstallation but still I can see that in control panel and it runs from my desktop shortcut icon. Then by frustration I deleted the folder containing all the installed components. Now I am not even able to install a new AVR-Studio 5. Is there anything I can do to get it back
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 7. I want to do a destructive reformat but nothing I try works. I was supposed to press one of the F keys (can't recall right now but have tried them all) and none of those work. Everything I have tried has failed. I really REALLY need to get this thing reformatted. I tried using the upgrade disk and now when I reboot it tries to upgrade Windows...which is turning into an all night process.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust after the October 22 release date, Dell posted some new graphics and other drivers for Windows 7. How can I tell whether they are needed, or should I assume that Windows Update takes care of making sure the latest drives are installed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell studio laptop that keeps rebooting. I turn it on an it gets to the Dell logo and then reboots. You can select the F2 setup option or the F12 Boot options but this does nothing. If I select F12 then try to select diagnostics it reboots, whatever option it just reboots. I tried to start it in safe mode by pressing delete this did nothing just re-booted and also pressing F8 again nothing. I tried to boot the Dell windows CD that cme with the laptop but nothing it sounds like its trying to start but reboots before anything happens.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGuys i need all the drivers of windows 7 for my dll studio 1555
my config is: 4gb ram,320gb hdd,256mb ati mobilit radeon hd 4570
Ive got a Dell Studio 1535 running Windows Vista.
I want to upgrade to Windows 7, used the Upgrade Advisor, no problem.
The only thing I need before I want to install Win 7 are the drivers.
HOWEVER Dell hasnt got any drivers suitable for my PC!
When I go to the download page, it only gives 2 options:
-> Windows Vista 32 bit
-> Windows Vista 64 bit
What am I to do?
I really want to upgrade, but if the drivers are missing, my PC wont work!
Do the vista drivers work for 7 as well?
i just bought new laptop
DELL STUDIO 1555

4GB DDR2 800MHz dual channel MemoryATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512MB500GB Hard Drive Serial ATA 5400RPM and now i'm trying to decide which os to install
1.Windows 7 RC 32Bit
2.Windows 7 RC 64Bit
3.WIN XP 64Bit
the 64 bit windows will recognize the 4 GB og ram but XP will not use the dual core while Windows 7 64 as i heard is very unstable and have limited time like as Windows 7 32 but on the other hand they both use the dual core
can anyone advise me which one to choose?
how to reformat a dell hardrive and install windows 7
View 3 Replies View Relatedhave a new Dell XPS desktop with Win7, and coming from XP I am somewhat confused about how to go about making a disc to reformat if necessary. There is this thing called "dell datasafe" on my computer, but it seems like some kind of stupid service that stores your pictures and such online, amongst some other things that aren't so clear. Anyway, I made a "recovery media disk" (took 2 dvd-R's) but I am not certain if this is what I really need. It claims to reset the computer to "factory conditions" whatever that is supposed to mean. Bottom line is, what I would like to be able to do in the event of a catastrophic virus, etc, is to COMPLETELY 100% REFORMAT my computer, similar to the way you delete the partition, create a new partition, and reinstall Win XP. I do not care one bit about saving files, pictures, and all that sort of thing - I just want to be able to do a clean sweep in the event that I need to.

Can someone please advise?
So a few weeks ago I was running on Vista and everything crashed completely. After a lot of thinking about it, I decided it was time to change over to Windows 7 Home Premium. But a few days after a clean and easy install, my laptop switched itself off completely, I think because my fans aren't particularly on form atm. Switching it back on I received this message[CODE]No drivers were found! Please browse to locate a driver!With no options of making a new one and no evidence of my C or E drive, I got fed up I took the disk out and gave it another switch on (in hope) and voila! It worked again! Only to switch off and take me back to square one,receiving the same errors as before.Though now, when I try to boot from the CD, I reach the loading stage of Windows 7 I occasionally also receive a blue screen which informs me of a fatal error and forces me to restart the entire thing again.The laptop itself is about 3 years old and hasn't had many problems (other than the overheating) until now. I'm not fussed about saving work/pictures/etc, I have them all on disk elsewhere. I just really want to be able to sort this out

Does somebody know where I can find them?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Studio 1558 that runs Windows 7 Premium. I also have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD video card, a Core i5 processor, and 6GB of memory. I play World of Warcraft and the game runs for about 15 minutes quickly and then slows to a crawl each time. Is there something wrong with the system or something I can do to fix it? I can provide more system info if needed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have had the HP 1410 all in one printer for many years, and has always worked fine. About 2 months ago, my laptop had a hardware failure of some sort, and I only backed up my documents. Everything else had been deleted. I only recently wanted to start using the printer again, so I installed the driver using the HP website. However, once the driver installed, it seems that my printer and my laptop cannot connect up, and it seems that my laptop may not recognise the printer as a device. I am unsure as to what I should do now.
