Go HERE. Download this file. Do not use the download manager option when the screen pops up use the download with web browser option.

After you download it run it to install it. This should clear up your issue

Hi...Dave I'm using a dell 1520 with windows 7 and im also having the same problem but the link you provided is for windows vista 32 bit.

Is there a driver for windows 7 64-bit.?

thnx

Hi Halsrc,

Dell does not list Windows 7 drivers for your laptop. You may need to use a third party device driver.

try the driver. Most times if a new drive is not available the one listed will work just fine. Also most of the Vista drivers will work fine under win 7.

I have an XPS l502X win7-64 with the same base system device error message:

any ideas?

thanks so much,

Steve
