Anyone know how good i can set the settings for Crysis 1? I want to play some old high end games i missed out for the past few years.

Hi, I just got my new Studio XPS 1647,i5 M460, 4GB ram, TS, pls add me into the list,thanks! I have a question here, i've just remove the Microsoft Office 2010 from my lappy, cause I don't want to purchase it. Then i install Microsoft Office 2007 via DVD, but can't install le..How la..Anyone know why.

What kind of cannot install ?

I can't install the Microsoft 2007, is a pirate dvd i have.

Is there any error message or ?

I just got my 1647 yesterday. Didn't face such prob. Uninstall my 2010 easily and installed xx Office 2007.

However i notice one problem, i set my display brightness into half. I see the screen flickers but not all the time. It annoys me.

Under full brightness which hurts my eyes, i didn't notice the flickering.

Kiki, do you have your battery plugged in? What is the power supply they give you? 90W? I heard that US already replaced the 90W with 130W power adapter to solve the throttling issue.

Can see the thread gonna be active again once all the people got their last batch of XPS 16.

Nope, i'm using direct power. The invoice stated 90W power adapter.

Edited: The model for 90W adapter is CM889. Can ask Dell for power adapter replacement?

Try playing modern games and see if throttling still exist like sudden drop of fps after 10-20mins playing. If it does i hear the power adapter maybe the cause of the problem.

Also there's a A11 bios update.

So far i haven't got any modern games to try out.

xps 1340 .... intel core 2 extreme x9100.. 4g ddr1066, nvidia 9400, 160 ssd

Will try it out as my modern games left back at hometown. Until now I haven't install any games.

hello people
my laptop will shut down by itself
it happened during my presentation just now
it's not the first time, it was like randomly one, a few times already
sometimes twice a week, sometimes ok for the whole week
and it cant turn on after that
have to unplug the battery and plug it back in order to turn it on
i already called dell and they will send a technician to check the problem


btw when i unplugged the charger after fully charged the battery
the windows there will still shows that the battery is still charging, and it take a while to changed to power saver mode (with battery), which doesnt happened before until recently
and the red column in the picture (not sure what's the name) >>
the light there will keep on even i already unplugged the charger or shut it down
have to take out the battery from the laptop in order to off the light

any of the users here encounter this problem?

Seems got related with GPU..

Try update the driver ?

Does XPS16 support true 5.1 sound if connect via HDMI or USB? or do we still need a DAC?

That one I'm not sure..

all right. Thanks.

I had a battery problem too, it would not charge sometimes. But at the same time I had mouse and keyboard problems. After 1 MB change (plus keyboard and top panel change), no more problems at all.

If only I could get the i8 fan control to work...

yours is 6cell or 9cell?
mine was fine until last 2 weeks, it will shut down by itself, and i cant switch it unless i remove the battery and put it back
the charging part will delay (after unplugged the charger, the windows still showing charging)
the tech support asked me to run diagnostic at F12
nothing unusual came out
but they already open a case for me and the techinician will come over my site on wed

and after i restored the windows, same thing happened
