    I got my new laptop today, and got rid of the installed Dell Crap and installed my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    Now under my Device Manager I've got two issues:

    Base System
    Base System


    I contacted Dell, they said they won't support my laptop since I don't have their operating system on it. All I want to know is what drivers I need. I can't believe they couldn't let me know.

    It's saying it's the card reader, but I install the drivers, and it just doesn't resolve the issue. I've deleted the errors to do a clean install etc, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I guess it's not that big of a deal...I don't know.

    Actually I didn't, I did the R5C833, it's the one windows kept pointing me to. I figured that was the one I needed...so I'll try the other one.
