The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    VEN_1180 is the Ricoh card reader. Install the drivers from Dell.

    I just did a clean format. You really should just install every hardware driver off Dell's website regardless of windows 7 installing them.

    I did that and I had zero unknown devices.
