Dell had the drivers on there a few months ago and was compiling them over the last 10 months or so, now of course when I want to install they are gone! Microsoft probably put a stop to that would be my guess. Anyway will need to look around i guess, Thanks. If anyone has a link then let me know.
Ok Dell must have removed them when they removed the other drivers for computers that did not
come with an other windows version if yours came with Vista 32 bit any other XP 32 bit,XP 64 bit or Vista 64 bit drivers were removed from the Dell support page !
Like my Inspiron 1501 and other computers there were Vista 64 bit drivers for it then Dell removed them and posted this link as a sticky on the Vista forum !
Read the link above i think it is posted on the XP forum as well.
Dell removed them because some of the people could not understand what version of windows they had
We are doing this to narrow the choices that users need to select when they are looking for a driver. Many of our customers provided us with feedback saying they found it too confusing to have to choose between multiple operating systems. We are working to simplify the process.
Those customers don't sound like they are smart enough to even have a computer, let alone do any type of service to them. They should just pay someone else to do any type of maintenance to them...

Hi
I do not think Dell has ever posted XP drivers for your computer !
It was Vista only !
But there has been several people that have installed XP on it with mix and match drivers
from other computers .
On the bottom of this page click advanced search then type in XPS 1330 XP drivers
you will get a lot of helpfull pages on the subject.
Good Luck

Dell removed them because some of the people could not understand what version of windows they had
or what drivers to use for it !!!
Anyway good luck to you !
