Just a few small questions here...this means that we can't slipstream the INTEL Matrix driver during installation...right ? and must be installed after the installation.

We have to install in AHCI mode and Flash Cache Enabled mode from Bios to install Vista ...right ?


Thanks

 

you can download this file and extract to USB drive when installing vista 64bit.

Intel storage driver updated to 8.2.0.1001

 

I used the SP1 disc of Vista Ultimate when I switched to 64 bit and did not have to load the Intel storage driver during installation. All went smooth even with AHCI enabled in the BIOS. Can anyone confirm if they were successful like me. Are these drivers now integrated in the SP1 disc?

 

erm...I seem to be getting the dreaded 0x80070017 error...could not load files...any ideas how to fix this... ?

EDIT: never mind fixed it...burnt the ISO at 2x
Now have awroking vista x64 installation !

 

Intel chipset driver updated to 9.0.0.1008

 

I have XP 64 bit and the fingerprint util installed just fine but it doesnt work. Does it work in Vista 64 bit though? anybody happen to experience this?

 

It sure works on Vista 64. All the drivers and utils on this page do work with Vista 64.

 

First of all, does it show up in device manager?

and have you enrolled your fingers and set up a windows password?

 

Hi, this is a great thread. Could you also add this link for Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini Card driver to the first post (taken from M1330 driver list for Vista x64)?

 

Great thread.. Installed Vista 64 bit today, Using drivers right now.

 

Audio drivers updated!

 

hey guys,

i got a little problem i've just installed vista 64-bit on my xps m1530 and all drivers ( from this forum ) work great ! except the one for the bluetooth 355 modul. everytime i start the driver a small window shows up und tells me to start my bluetooth with the w-lan/bluetooth-button but nothing happens when i turn bluetooth button on! ( wlan is connected ) can anybody help me ?

thanks for your posts

 

I saw this on a clients 1530, are you sur eyou purchased the bluetooth option? does it show up in device manager as an unknown device?

 

anyone have any issues with the webcam? drivers install fine for me, absolutely no programs, including the dell webcam app, recognize it.

 

I confirm that only the webcam driver is posted here not the apps. I have not tried this but I think that the apps on the webcam cd that you received may work on vista 64.

 

the webcam app claims to work on vista 64, regardless - no programs can initialize the camera and get video out of it... though they all recognize it as an input device.

 

That's weird, have you tried reinstalling? I tested the webcam in Skype last night and it worked fine.

 

this actually confuses me the most. there is no unkown device in the device manager. and the led for bluetooth is off.

 

I just had to register just so I could help you guys out. I have had the same bluetooth problem, I have successfully fixed it. This is due to having the bluetooth adapter off when installing Windows. Dell has a patch that will turn on the adapter and will now show the bluetooth led light. Once this patch is applied, then you can go about installing bluetooth drivers and software from Dell.

Are there any drivers not available for Vista x64?

Also, if I only have the original 64-bit Vista disc, not the SP1 one, should I expect any problems with the initial install?

 

What is the best 64-bit Vista video driver version?

 

thanks! bluetooth works!!!!

 

I used this one laptopvideo2go.com

No problems so far

 

Has anyone tried a different model or manufacturer touchpad driver? Everythin is working however the touchpad is driving me nuts with many of the same issues others have. I thought I saw a reference to trying one of the drivers for the dell workstation laptops.

 

I've tried several drivers listed on that site and am unable to get HDMI output to work. (s-video and rgb work fine.) Has anyone been able to get HDMI working (protected content and all) with a 64-bit driver and if so, could you link the driver used?

 

I tried the 64-bit M6300 driver.

On the one hand, I really like the pointer behavior now. It seems smarter, more precise and better behaved.

On the other hand, the scrolling feature is gone.

 

Unfortunately the link to the "Upek Protector Suite" has been removed now. If anyone have new links or updates on the "Upek Protector Suite", please drop me a message.

 

I have a link to the suite here:

That really nice of you but I would really like to have a link to official sources as I do not know if posting this here is legal because the official link has been removed from the manufacturer's site.
Thank you

 

Asus has Protector Suite QL 5.8 for Windows Vista 64-bit (and also 32-bit), free of charge. See the links below.

I can confirm that this works on my Dell XPS M1530 under Vista x64. To get the Password Bank module working for Mozilla Firefox 3, follow these instructions on the UPEK website.

 

I also got the Protector Suite QL 5.8 and it also added new features.

 

I have an XPS M1530 and I have been lurking here and reading and doing a lot of info grabbing. Now i got everything on my M1530 working. Except the display drivers I have installed about thirty different drivers from LV2G. But dammit every driver that i install gives me BSOD i install the standard windows VGA adapter it works. Just my aero and dream scene doesn't work because my display driver is not correct. I have an 256MB 8600M GT. This is getting really frustrating. Also how do i get my touchpad to scroll left and right like it used to do in vista ultimate 32 i installed the syanptics driver as it says i have a synaptic touch pad.. I am almost fed up...

 

Is there drivers for the lcd monitor?...i just got a generic PNP....

great thread....thanks agian....

 

Anyone get the Sound Blaster Audigy Integrated Software edition to install correctly on vista x64?

 

Installed SP1 and then the Network Drivers for the Marvell, everything appeared to install correctly, however it is reporting "media disconnected," when I do an ip config.

The link lights aren't on.

I have tried cables and connections I know to work with other systems.

The network port was working before the re-format.

Anyone have any other ideas?

 

For anyone else that may encounter this, I had to go into the bios and turn off NIC with PXE. Not it works like a charm.

 

Here's some driver updates:
Upek Fingerprint Reader Driver
Intel Turbomemory - I strongly recommend this update as it solves many problems especially BSOD that I was having my Turbomemoy module.

Thanks a lot for all the drivers. Basically used this forum only for my upgrade to 64 bit. I also own a xps m1530. I have noticed with my upgrade however that the boot screen is different, i.e. it runs through three black screens with white text very rapidly right after the main DELL screen at the beggining with the BIOS version underneath. Although I have assumed that the new boot method came because of the 64 bit version, on the third page that it loads, I catch a glance at a line about 1/4 way down the screen that reads, "No memory found". Again, these screens flash very quickly so I can't read too much of what it says but I'm sure I saw those words, booted a few times to make sure. Anyone else notice this?

 

It sounds like you used a Vista install disc with the preactivation crack that's why.

 

Anyone know where I can get the UPEK Fingerprint Reader Suite for 64-bit? I really need it as I use it for securing my files and my laptop at college. It's the last thing I need for Vista x64 before I go ahead and install it.

edit: Hopefully the Asus version works fine...might just try that.

Yeah I downloaded those ones from that file hosting thing too. So hopefully between the Asus ones and those, one of them will work.

What version of video drivers do all you 64-bit Vista users find best for your XPS M1530?

 

Anyone get the Sound Blaster Audigy Integrated Software edition to install correctly on vista x64?

Im guessing the Disc i got on works for 32 bit drivers? Any one have 64bit ones?

 

have any one try dell media direct on 64 bit ?

 

ok i had just test, the Media Direct 3.5 works. all device working as well.
