Does this mean that people are unable to use their wireless cards that came with the XPS M1210. Thanks Gene I had 2 monitors plugged in. A Samsung TV, a NEC Monitor (VGA) and the laptop screen working 2 by 2. I could cycle between the 3 having 2 screens working simultaneously (with one as an extended or both displaying the same thing) thanks to the “Fn” F8 buttons or simply through the screen resolution function within Windows 7 ! Also my gut feeling is that if you have not installed firewall type software on top of Win7 or if you have a harware firewall system (that could be blocking access to the net for some reason), then it is probably more to do with your internet access not wanting to play ?? Can you check that you have access to the Internet via another computer. On your Dell xps m1210, maybe check in the device manager what the status of your network hardware is (right click on “my computer” and select properties, then choose “device manager” in the list on the left). Look at “Network adapters” to make sure your drivers are working and up to date. Do you have wifi on your broadband device. If so can you check whether the wifi is working and provides intenret access? I have installed Nvidia drivers from Windows Update. Is there any solution how fit it? ( or had anybody the same problem with external monitor? ) My monitor is SAMSUNG SyncMaster 931BW connected via VGA-cabel Thanks for reply PS: Sorry for my bad english:o). I don’t have the 32 bit version of Windows 7 installed and have not had this issue on the 64 bit version. It could be that the graphic card is on its last legs, which would not be good. I started getting, like 256 colours on the screen intermittently, rather than the sharp millions of colours.Following the information on this blog and comments (thanks Stir) I was able to find drivers for everything. -Webcam and headset worked with Skype.art-electric.com/userfiles/8600-manual-hp.pdf -Vertical and horizontal scrolling works on the touch pad. -Memory card reader worked with a sony flash card -Windows 7 wifi works better than the bloated intel software -Windows was able to detect everything else. Windows 7 64x seems snappier than Window XP.I also replaced the hard disk and put a 500 Gig hard drive in there. It was way easier than upgrading to a 500 Gig hard disk on the Asus 1005ha that I purchased while in the US. But probably not as complicated as the processor upgrade you did. I also had a Dell technician come round to replace the whole motherboard recently since the graphics card was dying on me (luckily I was still under guarantee with the 3 years coverage) and even though he was pretty quick it took him about 10 minutes to switch everything out. Waiting to see what Dell offers for poor suckers like myself that had to fork our all that money for a Vista Ultimate that was a joke in terms of stability. They won’t get money off me if there is not a good offer to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. That’s for sure! Thanks again Chris I have still the same problem whit flashing on ext. monitor. I try another monitor (benq FP91G X)and result was the same. Now I have other issue on 64-bit version. My webcam is still hot (also in idle mode) I had this problem in linux, but never in windows. I try to disable webcam in device manager, but nothing changed. Any advise? Again sorry for my english. About the webcam, I don’t actually have the computer at hand at the moment and can’t find in the manual below whether there is a bios setting to switch the webcam off. In the manual it does say: NOTE: It is normal for the camera to feel warm to the touch when the computer is running and when the camera is in use. Have you run Windows Update. Try going into device manager in the Control panel and check if you have a yellow warning sign next to the sound controllers part next to your audio device.https://www.jemelectric.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1626be92f2a3c7---canon-fax-l220-user-manual.pdfIf you launch this you should see a whole list of drivers available that you can download an install. Otherwise you can read in the article above for certain drivers that you may still need after running Windows Update several times. Have fun ?? I followed your instructions and now have a beautifully working XPS M1210 running Windows 7 (with upgraded 500gb hard drive!). Hopefully I’ll get a good 2-3 more years out of it (bought Oct 2006 still have 1 year warranty left). I’ll add any experiences here. I only have 32bit Vista driver. As Windows Updated will have more and more of these drivers available you just need to run Windows Update first then check which drivers are missing by going into Device Manager (Do a right click on Computer and select properties, then in the left hand side panel click on Device Manager). Glad this helped ?? Have you tried both wifi and connecting to a network with ethernet.I’ve tried several quicksets and none of them have the option to turn on the visual volume indicator. That’s the only thing missing on my system and it’s driving me nuts haha. NO HELP there!!!! got any ideas on what i should do? Susan This does not install properly but then if you point Windows 7 device manager to the folder where the solution was extracted to, it can find the drivers for the webcam. You should then no longer see the yellow warning sign in the Device Manager for the webcam.But the device will not work. now what. i feel like i am close but am just missing one small thing. susan I like the positive approach ?? Well it seems you have the drivers installed now and your printer is working! So bravo. What are you using to test that the webcam is working and what if anything are you getting as a result? But i am unable to get it to turn on otherwise. Now what is my problem???? I know,,, the problem is the operator (ME) Help.I actually only use the webcam with either Skype or MSN for video conference calls.https://riverasphotovideo.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1626be93d92b5e---canon-fax-l240-manual.pdf What did you have in mind for your webcam other than that, while you are sipping your glass of wine to celebrate the web cam working with Skype ?? John Whem my mom was still alive I took my lap top in the doctors visits so she could watch them over and over to understand things better. I have the botton to the right of my power button that i pushed and my web cam came on. I must say I never really used it like that and it may well be that this requires the software that is not yet available from Dell or Logitech. You may want to try a piece of free software like Debut Video Capture Software and see if that provides you with what you are looking for. PS: Don’t worry about the spelling, it’s not something I’m always perfect at ?? I also noticed, that the xps is kind of hot from below when ever it happens. Could it be that the processor runs in a kind of throttle mode when it turns to hot. And after all is it regular that the xps turns so hot. I know it has a desktop processor inside and a average good graphics card, but still it seems to me a little to hot for just Internet-browsing. Thanks for ya help Sea I just purchased Windows 7 Professional 64bit edition and cannot get it to install. I keep getting an error and in the info box it is saying the the CPU (t2400) does not support the x64 version. I just received the backup CD to install the 64 bit and now receiving this problem. I am aggreviated with Digital Download. Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Specs Windows XP (32bit) T2400 1.83 GB Duo Core DDR2 4GB of Ram Nvidia 7400 Geforce onboard Graphics Card No webcam and the rest is pretty much like the rest of them. Is this processor really 64bit. Or is it emulated? Also, (out of curiosity) why are we loading 64bit OS on this machine. I thought the whole reason to go to 64bit is to take advantage of more memory addressing and enabling more than 4GB (theoretical) of RAM. Perhaps I’m wrong on this. I love my Dell XPS M1210. Have 4GB RAM and Centrino Duo T7600 2.argo-naut.com/userfiles/files/8600-manual-feed.pdf33Ghz processor. Toshiba 7200 RPM 320GB Drive and Nvidia 7400 Chip. Also have 3495 Intel Wireless and Verizon 5720v card for mobile broadband. I burn through about 1 9 cell battery each year. I am interested in eventually upgrading from Vista to 7. Curious about all the 64bit talk here and if anyone has run into problems upgrading 32 bit Vista to 32 bit Win 7. dootndo2. Have you tried downloading the Windows 7 upgrade advisor. It’s in the post above under Links. It should provide information on whether your laptop is 64 bit compatible. I installed both versions and did (without proper benchmarking) feel that the 64 bit version was quicker. It is good to use at least 2Gig of RAM when using the 64 bit version. You’re correct about there being no advantage of breaking the 4 gig memory barrier as the m1210 will not even provide 4 gig of memory regardless of the OS. You should however get better results when using a x64 version of software. I often get nice results with the X64 Windows Media player on say MKV files when using the Shark codecs that has a control panel that allows you to define the X64 windows media player as your default media player. Sorry can’t help you on the Vista 32bit to Windows 7 32bit upgrade, maybe someone else can chip in here with their experience on this. R140135 If you have a Blackberry, first install Desktop Manger.How should i know which to install? I have even done what mentioned in the above thread. I tried installing it straight via device manager.I have a 9 cell battery on my XPS-1210 with Win 7 x64 installed on it. The critical battery level is set at 5 and the action to Hibernate. The laptop abruptly shuts down when the battery reaches 71. It appears that the battery indicator is displaying wrong info. I haven’t come across any third party ACPI driver that can fix this. This is really frustrating. Hope some one can provide me an answer.I bought an Asus 1005 HA notebook due to it’s incredible autonomy and switch between the two depending on what I need. With a battery for the XPS m1210 costing over half the price of a Netbook it’s a bit silly. I’ll check the powercfg utility out when I get home. By now most of you may of done so many changes to your Windows 7 computer, you may think about reinstalling. You should either insert an exception or disable whatever it is that is blocking it. You might want to focus on UDP SNMP traffic. I don’t blame this on windows 7 as I had this on my previos xp pro x86 install. I had figured it was a driver issue though and had never gotten around to reinstalling the driver until now but same deal. It’s nothing huge but noticable when I move my mouse pointer all the way down and see the white of the pointer shift left about an inch. Like I said it’s just the bottom one or two pixels but wondering if anyone else has this issue or if it’s just my screen or videocard. You can see lines on the screen, I tried to download the intel 945gm drivers for Windows 7 64bit but it says my computer doesnt fit the requirements?? Service tag: 1W221D1 Any suggestions? I must say that I really like it. So I am now thinking upgrading my XPS m1210 to Win7. While surfing the web I found this blog with a lot of helpful information. Looking back at Microsoft’s past recommendations for memory I have the feeling that I should have more memory installed than the minimum recommendation. Or shall I go for x64 with only 2 gigs installed. Thanks, Uwe I read somewhere that it could be due to heating but haven’t anymore information than that. The remaining 192mb is shared with your main system memory, using NVIDIA’s TurboCache technology to boost performance in 3D applications. Windows 7 is showing you the hard value of your available video ram, and not adding the shared ram. This will not impact your GPU’s performance negatively. With x64 it’s like a whole new machine. Then just right-click on the QuickCam.msi file and select Install. That’ll bypass the OS check in the higher-level script and the cam then works just like it did under Vista. Of course, make sure that you’ve already installed the camera drivers first though. Thanks again, Doc Is there a driver for the SONY DVD RW DW-Q58A ATA Device that I need to download.I can not make any relation why the batery and explorer but this is it !! My windows is Windows XP media center 32 bit, so it does not see all 4 G. I realized the only way I can take advantage of all memory is using x64 operating system. My question is “Can I install x64 OS on XPS M12010?, does XPS M12010 support that?” I am wishing to do the same with my m1210 however I do not have the installation disks that came with the laptop. My question, do I need them to install Windows 7 Ulimate (x64) on the m1210. If I do need driver updates, can anyone please tell me where I can go to find them for Windows 7. Thank you for any assistance anyone can provide on this matter. Nitram You can probably find some second-hand disks somewhere on the net. I was thinking that might be the case but wasn’t sure. I appreciate your input to my query very much indeed. I will be installing Windows 7 Ulitmate x64 on a brand new hard drive with a clean install and saving my XP system drive as a back up drive should the new drive fail for any reason. I will keep on looking, just in case I need them for an additional XP install in the future. Thank you again for your input. Nitram I have tried following the above information on how to get the Webcam working but it’s still doesn’t work.I downloaded the Software and driver for the Logitech C270 of the Logitech web page (it’s a HD camera) I then installed it. But it said that my Webcam was not attached but my Mic was. I then went to the device manager and double click the unknown device, driver tab, then update driver button. Search for a driver software in this location c:\dell\drivers\R151795\drivers\x32 Then hit next. It should find and install drivers. My Camera worked but also it worked better than before. A clearer picture. And the Logitech software for the C270 is so much better then the old system I use to have. However, I cant use your method to get the Ricoh Card Reader driver. The program u used keeps telling me I have no internet connection. I think the backend this program used is offline now. Eventualy the driver will be installed. Thx for this post Ubikann ?? Regards, Gunther. Big thank you! I know this post was made it some time ago but it’s still useful You need to find the Nvidia 64 driver on their website. Feel free to contact me for more info.I then installed the RC of Windows 7 on my Dell XPS as you can read.Learn how your comment data is processed. Recent Posts. The XPS M1210 features a new design for Dell laptops and offers possibly the best performance on the market for this sized laptop. Following is a full review of the XPS M1210. With the M1210 the latest Intel Core Duo processors will be offered, there will be no Core Solo, Celeron or ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) processor options. It’s apparent that Dell wants to keep the XPS line as a performance focused series, whether it’s big or small form factor. That’s right, no white bumpers like we see on every Inspiron machine currently in the line-up. Personally, I love the M1210 look with the black lid and silver brush keyboard and casing. The blue effects lighting on the front located silver media buttons is very nice. Overall the M1210 look is very pleasing to the eye, and certainly can be called stylish but not gawdy (like some might say the brazen XPS M1710 gaming laptop design is). The look walks a nice line between being cool yet professional. Here with the lid closed you see the media buttons, headphone and mic jacks, and the rotating camera on the XPS M1210 ( view large image ) The build of the M1210 is very good. The casing is made of a magnesium alloy material and this notebook complies with the Dell Road Ready guidelines. The lid is very solid and offers great protection to the screen, push in on the back and you won’t see ripples on the LCD. The hinges are nice, rigid enough to hold the screen in place but not overly stiff. The M1210 uses a latchless lid closing design, there is no use of magnets to keep the lid down but when it shuts you can hear it snap shut and spring tension holds the lid in place and closed very well. All of the buttons on the M1210 have a nice feel and are not cheap feeling. The touchpad mouse buttons are especially nice in terms of feedback and travel. With the 6-cell battery the M1210 is about 4.4lbs and if you’re using the 9-cell it’s closer to 4.8 lbs. It’s not that thin either, it’s about 1.2-inches thick which is thicker than my thin-and-light 1-inch thin ThinkPad T43 notebook. What we’re dealing with here is better classed as a very portable media and gaming entertainment machine. The M1210 goes against this notion. The Core Duo processor family has proven itself as a great performer in many past reviews on this site, and Dell is offering the higher end Core Duo processor options in the M1210. Core Solo is not even an option for the M1210 — it’s high octane gas only for this machine. The hard drive offerings are impressive, with the option of a 100GB 7200RPM hard drive available — that’s right at the cutting edge of notebook hard drives on the market today. If you’re a fan of lots of system RAM, the max RAM of 4.0GB should make you smile. The system under review has 1.0GB of memory, which should be ample for most users, but if you think you need more then there’s plenty of room to add it. Let’s look at some benchmarks to see how the M1210 stacks up against fellow notebooks (all benchmarks are done using the stock system setup, no Windows reinstall or removal of programs). Super Pi Super Pi is a program that forces the notebook processor to calculate Pi to 2-million digits of accuracy. I decided to try out Half Life 2, it ran on high-detail without issue. Some features such as Anti-aliasing were turned off and other settings weren’t at their highest in order to ensure the best game playing experience given the power available, but with the settings you see from the screenshot below, the play was completely smooth. Best settings for HL2 ( view large image ) An angry guard wields his electrified club ( view large image ) Ports and Input With 4 USB 2.0 ports the XPS M1210 certainly is best in its class for number of that type of port on this sized notebook. My ThinkPad T43 is a 14.1-inch screen notebook and has just two USB 2.0 ports. In fact, the XPS M1210 is as good as or better than many larger notebooks in terms of port offerings. I’m sure some would like to see a DVI-D port on there, but that’s the only missing port I think some of us would have chalked up as a nice to have. You’ll only be able to view one window at a time comfortably on this sized screen at such a resolution, but that’s part of the course with this sized notebook. The screen is extremely bright at its maximum level, if you’re on battery setting brightness to half should even be quite adequate. However, with a glossy screen be aware that you’ll get more reflection than with a matte screen as you can see with the photo at the top of this review in which the M1210 is reflecting the room it is in. All the same, in a consumer notebook it’s much better to have this type of screen. The vertical viewing angle isn’t all that great, you’ll need to look at the screen with a perpendicular angle to the eye to get the best and most accurate coloration.
