Chances are Dell will not offer 64 bit drivers for your system if it has not already. Consider yourself in the legacy group with no 64 support. I might suggest that if the 1520 win7 64bit driver didn't work, go back to the 1520 downloads and try the Vista 64 bit download for your network card. I have a legacy system as well and used vista 64 bit drivers as well as 32 bit to work. No guarantees but worth a try.
My system is 32 bit. When I first started out with windows 7 it automatically downloaded some drivers for my network card, but the connection dropped every single day. When I installed the drivers for the 1520 the connection dropped much less often, but you have to restart the computer because it may it crash.
Sorry, assumed 64 bit. I gather this was just an upgrade, not a clean install? Have you looked at your device manager to see if you have any conflicts? In device manager, have you tried to update your driver under network adapters? Do you have a disk for your ISP and could your software been conflicted in the upgrade? Some things to consider. Hope it helps.
This was a clean installation. I have tried everything to do with device manager and updating drivers. I will try the 1520 vista drivers. I have noticed that on the 1520 the drivers are the same for the 32 bit and 64 bit. I keep trying to contact Dell and find out when they are going to release the correct drivers.
Hi Ryan...sorry for not offering any solution...I just wanna ask something to you...As you, I also upgradeed to win 7 my vostro 1510...but i can´t have the audio working on it..how did you do to make the audio work on your laptop?...what audio driver have you used?..´cause I´ve tried everything but there is not case...Hpe you answer me..thanks a lot...
When I upgraded to windows 7 it automatically found the correct audio driver. My only problem was the network card, but now I am using a different one plugged into the slot.
Just looked under device manager and the audio driver version is: 6.1.7601.17514 and the driver date is: 19/11/2010
