Am using standard dell driver. But a bit dissapointed in playing CoD4 and 5

im using the modded 9.4 catalyst driver. D: l4d oso i lag abit.

guess, question.. whenever i close the lappy lid , while its still on , i notice it disconnects my messenger / logically it would disable its USB power. can we disable it? cause disconnecting my messenger would be troublesome.

hmm? I don't know so. you may look into the control panels. changing the function of closing and opening lid.

got the settings, but now got myself into a new confusion.

Whats the difference between hibernate and sleep?

As by default , our lappy sleeps when our lid is close , and when we seemingly shut down our lappy , its actually hibernating.

So should be change the hibernating setting to shut down ?

hmm. i guess change it to sleep? since you want your messenger to be on. being hibernating means shutting down your lappy but it resume the same session when you starting up again means it won't consume any power. but sleep do consume a minimum of power but everything is still running. correct if i'm wrong.

When you hibernate, all the current data is saved to your hard disk and then the laptop turns off.
No power is consumed, you can turn off your laptop and disconnect the battery.


Pros: Doesn't use power, resuming windows may be a little faster than booting up again (If you shut down instead)
Cons: Resuming windows not as fast as sleep mode



When you sleep, all the current data is stored in the RAM, then your laptop will be in a low power consumption state.
Power is consumed, must be connected to AC power/battery.


Pros: Resuming windows is very fast
Cons: Uses power, drains your battery.

^^ I just receive a sms from the delivery company lol not call..
Getting it tomorrow weeee.. cant wait to see it.
Lol, anything i should do before i start using it ;O?

Woo~ Grats on the new lappy, welcome to our glorious hovel! Studio XPS are the best among the other lines. All you gonna hate this laptop was just the fingerprint on the palmrest. =D YOU GONNA LOVE IT

just got my notebook. the design is so nice.. nicer then the pictures.. the lights on keyboards rocks.. and its thinner then i though it would be.. though it would be bulky...
haven't got any games to install on it yet ... getting half life from friends now.

lol grats on the new lappy. but having few problems with it , slight problems. well first tried to install company of heroes , and it always get stuck halfway , i think maybe its something with my optical drive? i updated the drivers already.

and transfered left4dead via my external hardisk , and able to play it , but hangs halfway and i have to restart the lappy.

anybody experience this? i just updated all the drivers through the support website :/ alittle disappointing

mine have no problem... ask the gurus around for help

What version of L4D are you using?

it's version 1.0.0.5 known for crashes?

Anyway , i called the dell service centre, and they troubleshoot me with the reading and writing of the optical drive, it turned out fine. so i suppose its the cd i use :/

i just updated the catalyst drivers from the support video as well.

anyone knows where i can get the bluetooth driver. coz when i on it. it keep asking me to locate the driver..

Yea. Its known to crash. Update it to the latest one, then it will almost never crash.

anyone can help me? or was facing this problem?
Unable to locate bluetooth driver. I downloaded the bluetooth driver application setup from dell website but after intall it seems to have the same problem.

I don't know if this helps; I encounter such problems only when I previously establish up a Bluetooth connection with a device (i.e Bluetooth enabled cellphone) with my notebook, at the same time when I try to establish a Bluetooth connection with the said cellphone, Windows prompt me for the Bluetooth driver.
Now, Windows is not asking for the notebook's Bluetooth module driver, instead it's asking for the driver for the Bluetooth enabled device that you attempting to connect.

oh.. so its my phone driver not bluetooth?
it happens to me when i establish to my cellphone. lol

I heard ppl said that SXPS 16 can upgrade the GC in the future ~
possible to 4650.

Good luck to u all
