    I have just finished installing Win7 64 Bit on my new Studio XPS 1340 and in my System Devices menu, there is a exclamation mark on a co-processor of some type...

    Thoughts and ideas? I uploaded a copy of the system view to show you.

    Also, just did the performance test and my score for gaming dropped to 4.9 from High 5 area when Vista was installed...thoughts??? And yes....SLI is in boost mode with the drivers installed.

    Oh and also...has anyone found software for facial recognition or the camera for win 7??? I cant even find facial recognition or webcam software on the resource cd and it is def not separate.

    Camera type? Facial Recog company??

    Thanks ahead...

    Thread moved to the Windows 7 sub-forum.

    Can you check the details on that coprocessor? Get a model name or number something that you can google? That almost looks like you don't have some chipset drivers or something similar loaded.

    After a bit of googling, I would guess that it's the Dell Xcelerator chip. Not sure on drivers for that, but it shouldn't affect your gaming scores at all. What drivers do you have installed for the graphics? Tried using the laptopvideo2go drivers, if there aren't official Dell drivers?

    Actually, I went direct to NVidia and they won't install because now software manufacturers put a lock on the graphics allowed in each machine. Luckily the drivers from the Dell site are also Win7 drivers so they installed fine.
