    The nVidia Vista 64bit Drivers seem to work. At least in Build 7000. I wouldnt expect it any different...

    My lappy runs perfectly with it. All drivers (i tried) for Vista 64 worked.

    yes it runs fine I just reformated my 1330 wit it 3 days ago. runs real smooth. The only thing i dont like is the on screen quickset popup for the volume doesnt showup but the screen brightness does but other then that its great looking forward to the official version.

    I've got my m1330 running Windows 7 Release Candidate Build 7100.

    For the most part everything is running okay. I do notice that when I talk on Skype the users on the other end have difficulty hearing me unless I reboot into Windows XP.

    Anyone else having these problems?

    I've installed the SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio drivers for Windows Vista but am still having this problem.

    Advice anyone?

    Thanks,

    John

    Jup Windows 7 64 bit is working fine on the M1330. Almost all drivers are installed automaticaly. I've only have installed the following drivers myself:
    Nvidia drivers
    touchpad drivers (with the standard drivers, you can't scroll)
    soundcard drivers (allready installed, but the one from dell's site is better)
    And QuickSet for the brightness and volume displays.

    What is the version driver your using John?
    I'm still using skype had this problem too but I have updated my skype a few time since I was told about the problem, but no one has made any comments of late.
    When I get a moment I let you know what skype and audio drivers I have..
    PS: did you do the online skype audio check?
