    Hi,
    I have a new dell inspiron 1525 and have the following issue: when I install the 1395 dell driver for wireless, the system log out slows down from 5 seconds to 10 minutes!
    At this point if i deinstall it, that does not help either.
    So today i have either a slow log out or no wireless.
    Can you help?
    thanks
    Gabor

    You shouldn't have to install any drivers on a new laptop. Did you install a different operating system (or reinstall the OS that came preinstalled)?

    No, this is the factory default on my laptop. I purchased it in this state, namely with the latest dell driver and extremely slow logging out. I already downloaded the latest driver but that does not help.

    What kind of security are you running? WEP. WPA(2), NONE

    And I presume Vista.

    Not called yet (no phone in my country), but a service guy from dell saw it, had no clue... I could not find even a Dell support official place to write to them this issue, no email even on the official dell site. Do you have an address?

    Install R741291.exe. note that dell folder will be automatically saved in drive c:.now, remove the wireless application from add/remove panel and reboot your pc. after reboot, you will see "found new hardware" prompt, browse the folder in C :Dell/Driver and click driver. This worked for me, hope it does with you. Goodluck..
