Adjusting Brightness always resets - XPS M1530

I need Dell to create a solution for poor design. Whenever my computer restarts or same fate mode 'sleep' and perhaps even off screen saver mode, I have to reset the brightness setting. Several times a day I have to turn down the brightness again and again and again and again and again and you get the point. I think that there is even a setting in the BIOS for how high the brightness should be. I put it. No solution. The brightness has to stay where I put it. (it's a period)
Please let me know when a fix for this has been created please make a link to the download or anything rather than saying something useless like to go to the Dell support and start your journey of 5 weeks of searching for him. As you can tell I had much experience with the supporting customer (which I guess is what I'm going to have to start qualifying for just about every business out there plus)
A big thank you to all those who can really help here. I'll be surprised and delighted. (and maybe my bad mood slightly raised)

  • End of 2011 Macbook with Windows 10 - adjustable brightness with the video card main?

    I have recently installed Windows 10 on my MBP late 2011 (officially unsupported, I know). For the most part, everything works, but the screen brightness adjustment doesn't seem to work with the driver from main video card (ATI 6600 M) - change the cursor on the user interface or by button have an effect, it is always 100%.

    If I change the Microsoft Basic display card driver in the menu devices (as suggested here in the forums), the cursor works, but the max brightness is about 50%, and I suspect the slow onboard gpu is active.

    Is there a way to get working with the primary ATI active adjustable brightness?

    Meanwhile, I found the solution: simply install the AMD Cataclyst driver that is included in the package Bootcamp 6.0 - and brightness control works as expected!

  • Windows 8 on XPS M1530 touchpad gestures?

    I installed Windows 8 on my XPS M1530. Everything is good, but the gestures of scanning of Windows 8 will not work on the touchpad. I installed the driver for the Alps touchpad that worked on windows 7, but the special windows 8 gestures still do not work. If someone managed to get this working or have any ideas of what I could try? Thanks, Paul

    OK, here go us:

    1. download the drivers from the link and unzip them somewhere.

    2. run the DPInst.exe or right click on the Apfiltr.inf, then choose install.

    3 reset

    4 log back, press Win + X and select Device Manager.

    5. under the mouse and pointing devices, you should see the Alps pointing device.

    6. Press Win + X and select Control Panel, then mouse.

    7. you should see the standard mouse pointer options over the Alps additional ones such as edge Action etc.

    8. If you do, set the mouse away and test actions.

    9. If like me you do not have these additional tabs on the properties page of the mouse, then you must use a control panel extra such as the DellTouchpad.exe of the official package Dell Windows 8 Touchpad or from another package Alps.

    First try the steps 1 to 8 and see if the options are there under the properties of normal mice.

    The DellTouchpad.exe is located in the driver package http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/Product/vostro-3360?driverId=1JW07&fileId=3080251554

    Use the 32 bit or 64 bit depending on the case.

  • Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

    Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

    Hey guys,.

    I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

    I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

    Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

    So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

    And if not, how can I fix?

    Thank you. :)

    Hi cripple.

    Thank you for your message.

    Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

    How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

    What is a wireless keyboard?

    If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

    I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

    You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

  • Dell XPS M1530, Dell Webcam, webcam,

    I bought a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop on a couple of years and now I'm having a problem with my webcam that is built into my computer. I should mention that there was a time not to long ago I was in line, and all of a sudden my computer went black and turned off the coast of himself. When the computer restarts, a black screen appears and a list began to form and it seems that random when being removed from the files. I panicked and turned off my computer immediately. I think that there was some damage, but I hope I saved my computer to have all its deleted files. in any case, after that incident, my webcam did not work. Skype and regular Dell webcam center. Everytime I open the Dell webcam Manager and double click on the center of Webcam I get this message:

    C:\Windows\system32\WMASF. DLL is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.

    I have several family tapes I want to transfer directly into my Dell M1530 xps.  I plugged one end of the cable into the headphone jack of the audio cassette player and the other end in making portable computer microphone.  In the Panel, I put the default line.  But I can't get any sound from the speakers.  I have the software loaded on your laptop to sound recording Audacity, but when I try to record from cassette player I get an error message to check my input device.  The cassette player earphone Jack works very well, and the audio cable is a brand-new cable Mediabridge, so I'm pretty confident that they are not the problem.  Can someone help me get these tapes loaded on my laptop? Thank you.

    The company is Sigmatel bankruptcy before 7 came out, then you just use the version of Vista but install in 7 using the Vista compatibility mode. Download the audio driver and extract the files (unzip or decompress and take note of the name of the folder created) but cancel the installation process. Go to the folder on the hard disk to which you have unpacked the driver files. Find the setup.exe file and right-click on it. Select Properties. Find the Compatibility tab and select Vista.

    -OR-

    Some owners of XPS m1530 succeeded with the IDT R226903 audio driver which is a version 7. If you want to try it, download and unzip the files in c:\Dell\drivers\R226903 but cancel installation. Then go in for the audio controller device manager (under "sound, video and game controllers"). Right-click on it and choose Update driver. Select to manually locate the driver and let Windows not seek. Find c:\Dell\drivers\R226903, and then click "next".
