M1530 on Windows 7

I cant disable startup sound in windows 7, as well as logon or shutdown sound. I have tried to turn it on , and off an on.. but nothing.

and second problem is microphone..I am using Skype and it seems that mirophone level is set up too low...or maybe something with driver.
I've tried vista driver and the one from W update , the troubleshooting tool aswell, but it is still dead.
And the gadgets are dead as well. cant even run it..

Tried to install Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility like a first, then Chiptet driver -but unsuccsesfull..the Intel turbo memory driver installation had problems too. Dad to instal them in under "vista compatible mode"

and Seagate 320G 7200.3 had just WEI 3 [vista 5.9] -tried install W7 without and with ACHI sata driver at the beginning of the installation...

The Text speech program had problems with readind, but fixed after instalation MS Agents {merlin...}

Do u have the same issues?

 

I wasn't able to install the Intel chipset driver (Vista x64) on my Inspiron 1520. I didn't do that for awhile on Vista once, either (just forgot to), and it didn't cause any issues that I noticed - I wouldn't worry about that one too much. As for the other ones - I think I read somewhere else about Win7 and Skype having problems, but I don't use Skype or the built-in microphone myself.

My hard drive's WEI fell quite a bit from Vista to Win7, too - I wouldn't worry about that one. WEI doesn't really mean much anyway. If you're concerned, run HDTune in both Vista and Win7 - it should be nearly identical, and that's a much more meaningful benchmark.

Haven't tried any gadgets, so can't help you there. No Turbo Memory, either. And I'm running XP at the moment so I can't explore Win7's sound settings (I dual-boot).

It is still a beta product, of course. I've already found at least one definite bug, and Standby seems to be having some issues. Hence why I recommend keeping whatever your previous OS was installed as well, provided you've got the hard drive space.

 

I heard about Skype problem so I installed the last Beta version. This version dont have any problem.
But I realized that in the morning i was calling with friend and microphone working.. just in the evening stopped.
betweem I installed Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility ,Chiptet driver and the Intel turbo memory driver under "vista compatible mode" ,
So this probably made it not working....
So don t install ANY driver wchich dont want to install...
