I tried to get Dell to help, but they wanted $49 to do anything. hoping someone knows what the problem is.

Hello

Dell should have drivers and the control software available on their site. Please refresh your
If possible driver and reboot before you load the new driver.

http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx

Help generic camera:

Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
will update the driver stack.

Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
software (if not more recent get the same).

Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • 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?

    Hi, I had to replace the hard drive on my Dell XPS M1530 because of the complete failure of hard drive.

    I installed Windows Vista and also installed all the drivers from Dell. All of them seem to work fine except the driver of Ethernet controller and wireless adapter one. I tried to download the drivers from Dell Web site, but who moved it - it comes up with this message: "the device could not be detected. Installation interrupted.

    In other words, that I can't connect to the internet, so using computer for a friend right now. Is there a driver I can download to make it work?

    Hi, thanks for all your suggestions. I tried to look at all the possibilities in terms of manually install the drivers, but nothing has worked.

    So in the end I bought a USB key external wi - fi and with that, I managed to connect to the internet. Once connected, the laptop must have then auto-téléchargé the right driver for the internal modem, because a few days later, I managed to connect to the internet even without needing the key external wi - fi.

  • Transfer of tapes CD directly into Dell XPS M1530

    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".

  • Can I sell my Dell XPS M1530 w/COA on eBay

    I would be able to sell the above material and COST (product key) on eBay? Could the book product key on another laptop from Dell or another manufacturer or is the key and activation limited to only this XPS M1530 laptop?

    The product key on the COA sticker that is can only be used on this PC for clean reinstall Windows 7   It is the best possible installation you may have.

    To resell you can run Dell Windows 7 PC Restore to wipe it is cleaner instead, or create a new account Admin-level accounts of user called owner, then delete your user account after you back up all your files. This becomes not only your visible but all your hidden user accounts App and program of personal data.  If you want to put them all in a folder of the user on the desktop for you to sort through, then you can delete once you are sure.

    As a final step I install CCleaner and run it is button run Cleaner, then it is tab register to find problems and clean them.

    Hello

    I just ordered a new laptop of XPS 1530 M with the best player available from the date of the order that was 200 GB 7200 RPM SATA HD.  Order is still in production.  Since the order, Dell offers 250 GB 7200 RPM SATA on new XPS M 1530 years from their new email for current promotions.  Is anyway for me to ask Dell to improve my XPS M1530 in the Production of 200 GB 7200 RPM sata to the newly offered 250 GB 7200 RPM.  I'd be happy to pay the difference.

  • Dell xps m1530 Video Card issues

    Hi, I had a problem with my video card on my xps m1530

    I was unable to connect an external monitor to my laptop (via HDMI or VGA), and I thought initially that he needed my drivers updated or re-setup. So far, however, no matter what hotfix attempt has been a catastrophic failure, and now I think that it is a hardware malfunction any.

    Run diagnostics on the video card, it reads that the video memory and primary surface test cannot be executed, even if it passes the test of PCI express condition. The adapter is supposed to be an nvidia card, but my computer only identifies currently the Standard VGA Graphics adapt. It is also impossible to read the graphics memory. If my material was indeed missing, as I suspect, how much would it cost to fix?

    [Otherwise, my brother recently bought a new laptop and he left his former xps m1530 with me. Would it be possible to exchange his (probably functional) video card in my laptop? If so, it would be difficult to accomplish on my own?]

    I would really appreciate the help! I consider myself rather in computer science, but this problem has left me speechless. :)

    There is no separate in this model - video card is a chip on the motherboard.   Since it seems that yours has failed, you will need to replace the motherboard to fix the system.
