    So after all my display issues, Dell is sending me a NEW XPS17.

    This time, I think I want to do a clean install of Win7, but my only concern is being able to download the X-Fi software again.

    I have heard from a few people that you can't find it anywhere, has anyone else had better luck and been able to download it?

    I was only able to download it because one of the members here posted it, but I still can't get Dell to give up an activation code until I get back stateside. Your best bet is probably just to call Dell and request the disc and code (unless you can find the code before you delete it?).

    You'd think they'd have this available at My Downloads... but for some reason they don't. :mad:

    A couple of other members on here said they were able to get it. I haven't tried yet.
