OSD Driver

Anyone have the OSD Driver for the M17x R1? Formatted my laptop, and I can't download it from dells website.

Thanks

 

Also, If I installed the new video card driver off nVidia's website, do is still need the chipset from dells website? (nVidia MCP79 Chipset)

 

I won't recomend the video drivers off nVidia's site.
stick with the P06 beta driver on Dell's site.
if you can PM your email i will gladly send them to you.
But what seems to be the problem that you can't download off of Dell's site?

 

I can download all the other drivers, I'm just having problems with the OSD driver. I get a "File not found" error. Ill pm you my email address and Ill d.l the nvidia driver from dell's website

thanks

 

Where can I find the P06 driver? All I can find is the 257.38, A03 version.

 

HERE you have the P06 driver.
Make sure you properly uninstall the ones you curently have installed(uninstall from Control Panel -> reboot in Safe Mode and run CCleaner to clean your registry for any nVidia drivers remainders -> reboot and install the P06 197.84) you'll be (video driver)issues free with the Dell ones.

 

seems like they took it off look and it should be R240771.exe also i didn't save a copy(bummer).

 

When you unpack it, the files are saved under c:/dell/drivers

If anyone has R240771, I can pm you my email address

THanks

 

Or post them here others may be interested also since it's off Dell's support site/ftp.

 

I cannot download the R1 OSD driver off of the Dell site. Will someone tell me where and how to do it? I contacted Dell and all they said was oh, it is not working. I knew that! Please help!

 

bump...anyone?

 

I've been squeezing out google and whatnot and still haven't found a copy of that 2Mb kit. Wish i kept a copy
Probably somebody that has this habbit sees this thread and will post it.
It's not much but annoying.

 

Just received my refurb M17x-R1 and did a complete Win7 install. However, there is no driver disk or system restore partition. Dell said that all drivers are downloadable of which I did. The only problem is the OSD application (R240771.exe) which is not available. In fact, no OSD application is downloadable for the M17x-R1. Dell can not give me a straight answer as to whether they will be available or not.

I'd appreciate it if anyone can post the driver (if allowed) or show me where to look. Dell ftp site is of no use.

Thanks in advance...

 

To everyone, Dell just posted back the R240771 OSD driver on their site. OSD issues solved....

 

That's it guys make a backup of all drivers just in case
Thanks for letting us know jundesanjose +1

 

Sweet...Thanks!
