    Ok guys, I finally fixed all my problems (kinda) I have sound, wireless card, can go stadby hibernate, ethernet device works etc etc, Don't know how I did it because I went to so many different sites and google it thousand times!!! lol Anyways, I've noticed that sometimes you can't get the right drivers from dell even with the service tag number, I got some drivers from dell, but not from my specific model drivers download page!

    The only problem I have now is that my hotkey: fn+esc don't work, it doesn't put my computer into standby like it should, the other hotkeys work just fine, Anyone know why? I also would like to get an older version of quickset because the new version that I got now I don't like it, its 7.1.8, I've been looking for the version that came with my computer from the factory but I don't know what version is! I liked that one better.

    Warning: when looking for wallpapers of my girlfriend Hayden Panettiere be careful!! because I think thats how I got the dang virus! everything started since I got a wallpaper of her!

    Ok, you really don't need to make a new post or topic every time you've got something on your mind. Please try to keep things in one thread in the future.
