Install Windows 7 on Inspiron 9300 - drivers?

Decided to try Windows 7 on my laptop 9300. So far, pretty good. Performance is fast, but I need some drivers I can't find:

1. the multimedia audio driver (no sound).  Any ideas where a Vista driver could be found?

2 failed to get the correct resolution on my screen with the standard VGA driver in Windows 7.  ATI is no help; Cannot find a driver from Dell for Vista, for the X 300 mobile display adapter.

3. the Touchpad works to move the pointer of the mouse; the scroll bars don't work. I guess I need a new Vista driver for the touchpad software.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

ATI did release X 300 support - you need to access one site pilot of modding to get one that works (www.omegadrivers.net) - that said, the X 300 is not a runner Aero strong so it can be slow with this option enabled.

The system uses a Sigmatel 9750 chipset for audio - they have Vista drivers.

The touchpad is an Alps - Similarly, try them for a touchpad driver.

  • Cannot install Windows 7 on Inspiron 15-3542

    Hello

    I recently bought an inspiron 3542 which is preinstalled with Windows 8.1, 64 bit. My most important medical equipment that connects to the USB port supports only Windows 7 & when I asked him about the drivers for Windows 8 of the manufacturer of the device, they do not support Windows 8. So I have to install windows 7 on this laptop, for the hardware running.

    I also tried to install windows 7 in virtual (VMware player), but the device did not work properly.

    Now, the problem is that I can't install Windows 7 in dual boot environment because the disk is of type GPT & if I convert MBR, all partitions disc gets lost, including collection.

    Now, if I do the backup 'Bootable' of my Dell laptop protection & recovery external HARD disk & convert disk MBR to install Windows 7. Then if necessary I'll be able to restore my laptop to factory state using this backup on external HARD disk?

    OR is there an alternative way to install a Windows 7 (64 bit) for dual boot with Windows currently installed 8.1.

    Download a Windows 7 64 Bit installation .iso and Rufus allows to make a bootable USB drive suitable for a facility with a GPT disk.

  • XPS 15 9550 CPU speed is as low as 0.75 ghz after manually installed windows 10 with all the drivers installed and BIOS updated

    I just bought this XPS 15 9550 in January, and I really appreciate it at first.

    However, one day, as pushed microsoft update to 10586 version of windows 10 and the machine will always fail to install the update, so I decided to download the image file and install it myself.

    The installation went smooth, but after a few days use, I found the computer is very slow during playback of videos and games and I came to find the speed of the CPU shows the label of performance in the Task Manager always will be 0.75 ghz and 0.78 ghz. He cannot go above that. I also found that the use of the CPU cannot exceed 30%.

    I've already updated my BIOS to 1.1.19, reinstall the system, a few times, choose the battery mode high performance, etc and this does not help.

    I also downloaded the power of intel and found gadget for my processor power consumers are still weak and the speed of the CPU is always not 0.80 ghz.

    In addition, I encountered the problem that after plugin the AC power, the speed of the CPU will fall to 0.39 ghz...

    Someone at - it an idea of what is happening here and how can I solve the problem? I'll really appreciate it. Thank you.

    I had my problem is solved. Follow these steps:

    1. download gadget power intel, you can search online for it.

    2. check the power of your CPU (package pw...) rate and open the videos and applications that will constantly consume the CPU power. See if the power is still weak.

    3. If the power is still weak, try to update your BIOS (download dell drivers and the new version should currently be 1.1.20) and see if things are getting better.

    4. If the power is still low, you must contact dell technical service to replace your hardware (my computer has replaced the northbridge, southbridge, I forgot, but after replacing, the CPU works fine)

    Note: If you run games using your discreet graphics card, such as starcraft II and you found that it's extremely slow, it is possible that your cpu is capped.

  • Properly installed Windows 10 on Inspiron N5050 except to start after reboot

    After making 1 million bugs (feels like it) very many articles and posts about how to solve the problems of Windows 10 update, I finally got 10 Windows installed on my husband's laptop computer.  There is only one problem: it will not accomplish a restart after a reboot.  It will restart after power on power off and back on.  I hope someone might have a fix for this.  I read that Dell says that this laptop is not compatible with Win 10.  My husband swears that he said not Microsoft go ahead with the upgrade and we discovered it was true for many other users as well.

    I've done the following hotfixes: reinstall an updated driver for the graphics card, uninstalled any software that generated errors in Windows (such as HP Support Framework) event log, changed a number of Services to be manual startup (like Malware Bytes, which is not running antivirus software, however, I use it to scan the computer for viruses) has increased the permissions on the folder Windows reinstalled Win 10 using CD created by Windows Media Creator, off the restart quickly in the power settings, uninstalled the IDT Audio driver, ran sfc/scannow and DISM/Cleanup-Image Scanhealth online and probably more.

    If someone have any other suggestions? Thank you!

    "I read that Dell says that this laptop is not compatible with Win 10".

    I'm sorry that startup repair does not solve the problem with your computer. Don't forget, you mentioned in the first post that "Dell said this laptop is not compatible with Win 10", it is unfortunately true. Please click on the link below and see for yourself.

    If you are not able to solve the problem in the near future, I would suggest that order you a windows restore disk 7 in the link below. In my humble opinion, windows 7 is still a great operating system.

    If the full 25-character windows activation key is visible on the Microsoft Windows COA on your laptop, you can download an identical iso file from here and install Windows.

    Download the drivers from the HP support for your laptop computer portal. Put them on a flashdisk usb (USB key) for ease of installation.

    Use the Microsoft Windows 7 USD\DVD download tool and a 4 GB usb (thumbdrive) flashdisk for the fastest and most reliable Windows installation medium.

    The value in this way you can have your laptop in a usable state while you wait for your ordered recovery disk.

  • upgrade to Windows 7 on a dell inspiron 9300 with windows xp

    I have a dell inspiron 9300 and I just upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 Ultimate edition 32 bit. I can't install the drivers of my resource cd.

    Win 7 will automatically detect the NETWORK card drivers but not the drivers for the wifi card. The easiest way is to connect the network cable to your computer and run windows update. This will update your display drivers (I have geforce go6800 and it worked) and the drivers for your wireless card. So now you have a proper and internet wireless display. Now, you can go to the dell website and download the drivers for sound card for i9300 (xp version). Run the drivers in compatibility mode for win xp and you have sound on your computer.
