Update: Windows Update just informed of 3 downloads for the Ricoh Host Contoller (Memory stick, SD/MMC and xD Picture card) released in July, October and November 2008 along with the opportunity to download Silverlight! Hope this helps other XPS M1210 owners out 😉 The main idea is that you can try drivers that are indicated as being for the specific hardware you have if they are supposed to work on Vista 64 bit, or wait untill another user explains that they have found what you need, if you don't want to risk having to reinstall Windows 7 again. For example the release candidate of Minefield, Firefox's codename for the 64 bit version of their browser doesn't have a Flash plug-in. I'm also running the Office 2007 suite and even though it's a pity that Windows itself hasn't got at least a beta version in 64 bit out yet, it works fine and just installed the SP2 for Office 2007.Īt the moment it seems easiest to use Internet Explorer 8 (not the 64 bit version) or another 32 bit browser like Chrome, to be able to view Flash content as there is still no 64 bit version of Flash player. This does not however install the software that you usually get from Logitech since it only picks up the drivers, which means other software can use it, but you won't have the Logitech suite you usually get (personally doesn't bother me but may be a problem for others)!įor an antivirus/firewall solution the latest ESET Smart security 4 works just fine on the 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.įor codecs I highly recommend either switching to VideoLan (but this is not yet available in a 64 bit version) or/and as I did, install the great Windows 7 codec package from Shark that can be downloaded here and 64 bit components to take advantage of your 64 bit Windows Media player for example here. When you try to install it this fails, you then just need to point the device manager system to the folder where this solution/drivers were extracted, so that it can install the drivers. The Logitech came up as an unrecognised USB device driver issue and Windows 7 OS itself allowed me to download the solution R151795 from the Dell site. I solved this by downloading the driver from this site then installing the application that installs the 圆4 drivers. The Ricoh card reader came up as a 'base system device' issue.

The 2 most difficult where the Ricoh car reader and the Logitech QuickCam / webcam drivers. Although I went through a fair amount of trial and error and one complete re-install I'm happy to say nearly all the core elements are recognised and no more yellow triangles with exclamation marks in the device manager. Well here I am, writing about how great the Windows 7 RC1 operating system is, directly from my Dell XPS M1210 64 bit version.
