    Hi Friends,

    I have a dell vostro 3560 running on windows 7 ultimate. Can anybody tell what are these drivers in the programs and features list in control panel? Can i just uninstall them?

    Did you not look at the Dell driver support page and download the driver from there? Those driver packages are beware software as you don't know whom wrote them or created them. Stick with your Dell driver support page instead. Use your Service Tag from your dell and check with the Dell driver page and that will tell you what drivers you need. I do know Vista drivers will work on Windows 7 if installed Windows 7 on it. Otherwise you need to contact Dell Business support for your drivers.

    I had installed all my drivers from the dell support page only. I have never installed all those drivers myself. I had connected a samsung galaxy ace plus with my laptop in USB debugging mode a few days back. My wild guess is that, it is then when all those drivers were installed automatically on my laptop but i am not sure at all.
