**Latest Driver/Software Updates for StudioXPS 1640/45/47**

So how'd you get the 5730?

 

I got a new system replacement with upgraded specs
Replaced under the issue of overheating and throttling.

 

Did anyone manage to install and use I8kfangui on XPS 1645 and Win 7 64bit?

I tried many different solutions (for example:

diefer.de - Vista x64 Signed Driver Workaround
diefer.de - I8kfangui and Windows 7 x64 Solved )

and all I received was bluscreen after lauching the program (but it installed which wasn't so easy either).

Since I'm tired of it and I've read that it doesn't work on new DELL laptops anyway (I wanted to see for myself) I decided to ask before trying further..

Is there any chance this program (or any other) would work as vents regulator for DELL XPS 16 series?

I tried that while back and it did nothing. Recently tried the beta version of speedfan as it mentions Dell (I think) but it freezes when loading up. The normal version does nothing.

Anyway, don't think I saw this mentioned; Intel RST 10.5.0.1015.. installs fine. (edit: whql at 10.1.5.1001).

intel drivers pour Raid/Sata/Ata/Ahci

 

Thanks.

I've tried SpeedFan too. Older versions don't work, the newest one is supposed to but it doesn't start. I will wait for stable version and try again.

Hi bipul_fx, The link for the chipset drivers is dead.

Can anyone please point me to the latest chipset drivers for the 1645?

Thank you.

I think I found it: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19597&lang=eng&wapkw=(9.2.0.1025)

 

Let us know how that goes, I think I've tried it but mine remains at 9.1.1.1022.

 

Catalyst 11.4 is out

 

Yay, new Catalyst drivers, installing now.

*addition*

Now installed and working fine so far. To those that always ask "what improvements"? I don't know, feel free to read the release notes, which are up.

 

Thanx for those bluetooth drivers though how do u have time to check the drivers from other vendors

Updated and Linked

So..... do you folks think we're in the clear to use driversweeper again? Hopefully we won't run into any issues when trying to install Win7 SP2 (whenever that comes out).....

 

Why would you use driversweeper? Not needed since XP Sp0

 

I don't see the need for it either. The one time I was having trouble installing the Catalyst software, I eventually tried driversweeper after not being able to install the latest update. It didn't help. It turns out it was just ATI screwing up by releasing a separate release for notebook drivers, after they previously said they were not releasing separate releases for notebooks (which was/is no where to be found on their main driver download page).

The best thing to do do it just install the latest Catalyst version right over the old one. I guess I'm lucky driversweeper didn't screw up my SP1 install.

 

The ATI driver itself installs just fine by installing right over the old driver (without using driversweeper). However, Catalyst Control Center will not open.... if I install the driver that way.

I find this to be the best way to install an ATI driver:

Ye, so just uninstall the driver, then install the new one

 

Where can I find the change log for the A15 bios?
Thanks =)

 

A15 is just fixing Lo-Jack problem.. not really important

 

Its not even 2 weeks and AMD Catalyst 11.5 is out . Nothing new though..

 

Damn... Just formatted my lap and installed 11.4 and voila 11.5 is out.... They are some happy people alright.....

 

Unless you have (new) game specific problems, I don't see the reason to upgrade to newer drivers on the 4670 any longer.

 

Install it over the old one,no problems at all

 

Updated to the latest ATi drivers... still working smoothly and fast

Sorry, I mean AMD drivers... need to get used to that

 

I've been frustrated with Catalyst Control Center not opening (in the task manager, it opens and then closes immediately) for several ATI/AMD Driver releases now.

When I would use Driver Sweeper and then manually install the driver, things would work out okay... but I'm weary of using Driver Sweeper due to the issues that many had with installing Win7 SP1.

After googling it, it seems that the CCC not opening is a pretty widespread problem. Shame on AMD for not addressing it. I'll likely go to back to a laptop with Nvidia graphics if at all possible for my next machine....

I swear I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer! lol Other than that the CCC issue, I love my SXPS 1645!

 

In the past I also had the problem with the CCC not opening. I believe just removing the "ATi Catalyst Install Manager" (ie this removes everything ATi/AMD related) and reinstalling the drivers after a reboot fixed the problem for me.

 

Has there been any updates in regards to the IDT audio drivers, which are unofficial on another forum?

 

Some updates

Weird cos the last i faced this issue was with 10.3
Sometime back i gave steps to install it properly. 1 important step i see is updating MS C++ Runtime 2008 and 2010 both x86 and x64 versions.

I have tried few new IDT drivers but they arnt compatible with this system

 

bipul_fx......never heard about 1333 Ghz Ram (maybe you mean Mhz)

 

Oh my god! That sig has been there for agesss! Thanx for reminding me of that minute mistake, i wouldnt have ever got that

Rep++

 

Just curious, what are the advantages of the new Dell quickset?

It makes me nervous installing something that doesn't say it supports my system (it says it's for Inspirons and doesn't mention the S-XPS's).

 

Probably bug fixes.. I installed it over my old version without any problems..

 

I need to get me some of that 1333GHz RAM

 

As i am done with those Ghz RAM, am looking forward to some Thz ones nw

 

I can lend you some sticks if you wish ....

 

Hopefully it would be Tested and Approved OK

 

Dell Bluetooth 375 driver v6.3.0.7900 Released: 5/13/2011. Please uninstall the previous driver before installing the new version. After installation Device manager states version as v6.4.0.1601 dated 1/6/2011.

Synaptics Touchpad Driver v15.2.20

Drivers | Synaptics

UPDATE: I'm not sure if it's me or the driver, i notice the two-finger scrolling isn't that sensitive anymore... u guys could give it a try n let me know

 

AMD Catalyst 11.5b hotfix supporting Mobility Radeons too.

 

Dell Support Center
Version: 3.1.5830.10

 

Thanx for the update

I upgraded it and havnt found any 2 finger sensitivity issue

 

I wish AMD provides driver package like this coz its all in one

Can you provide me the link please

 

Mine was updated automatically, try updating from the software itself.

 

My Dell Support Center also automatically updated.

 

Mine did too- and that crappy software defaulted the scheduled hardware scan back to "enabled." I'd uninstall the software but the "Drive Space Manager" is pretty cool.

 

The app was already downloading the update so its now updated for me too
The path of the file it downloads the full package is: C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Roaming\PCDr\Update\Binaries\full_dsc_5830_10_64_01.exe.
Save them for future reinstalls

@gpig The scheduled scan can be turned off. Just click settings icon and go to PC Checkup tab and deselect Enable Scheduled Hardware Scan

My exams are going will end by 6th then will update the page, real sorry guys..

 

Oh I know. That's what I did on the previous version, but the new version didn't honor my setting.

 

Good news for anybody experiencing the issue where Catalyst Control Center / CCC will not start / open / initialize! (I used all of those buzz words so that more people will find this post when googling the problem)

There is a fairly easy and quick fix! Credit goes to the following site for the fix: ATI Catalyst Control Center (CCC) won't start

I followed the steps on there and it worked for me!


Follow these steps (for Windows 7):

1) Uninstall Catalyst Control Center via Control Panel/Uninstall a Program

2) Restart in safe mode (by pressing F8 at the BIOS screen during start up, or by typing msconfig in the search box in the start menu, go to boot tab, select safe boot (wouldn't hurt to click the networking part as well), then restart your pc)

3) Navigate to C:\Windows\assembly

4) Sort by “Public Key Token”

5) Select all files with the token “90ba9c70f846762e” (ATI’s key)

6) Once selected, right click those files and select uninstall.

7) Reboot out of safe mode - (If you got to safe mode via the msconfig method, you'll have to run msconfig again and de-select safe boot)

8) Re-install the latest Catalyst Suite (available at amd.com or on page 1 of this thread for Dell SXPS 1640/1645/1647 folks)

9) You probably won't even need to reboot! (I didn't)
