    Hello guys...

    I just did a clean Windows 7 install from the CD Dell just sent me.
    I formatted the Hard Drive before installation to get rid of all Bloatware.
    I got some minor bugs like the scroll wheel on my mouse is not working, i am using the microsoft 8000 bluetooth wireless, other than that my cam & facial recognition does not work, i don't see any driver on Dell site for the cam.
    Everything else seems to work fine for now. Any help with this would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    the facial thing would require dell software - and from my experience all stupid microsoft wireless mice require software installs too

    im pretty sure the 1640 needs a bluetooth driver from tell in any case

    FYI. the mouse is working, only the scroll wheel is not working so i am assuming it's not a bluetooth issue. The first thing i did was download & install the software from microsoft and no change.
