    I went with a clean install of windows 7 on the m11x. However, I don't know which or how to install the proper drivers. I found this site which lists some (possibly all?) m11x drivers Alienware M11x Drivers - download tag - Softpedia . Besides enabling everything in the BIOS, what other requirements are needed to install drivers? For example, is there a certain order for a stable installation?

    Questions

    • [*]Are the drivers from Alienware M11x Drivers - download tag - Softpedia correct? Is there a better site? (I assume the wireless internet card needs a driver, so I can't use dell.com to download everything)

      [*]Besides enabling everything in the BIOS, what steps do I need to take to properly install drivers?

      [*]Is there a common mistake which I should NOT do?

    Is this really so simple that no one will answer? Am I missing a sticky?
