Hi guys i own a Dell Studio XPS 16 too. And was wondering what is with all the mumbo jumbo CREATIVE Sound Blaster® X-Fi MB softwares doing in my laptop,after giving final thought that it was useless, i went and delete any of that particular software. Since then, i felt guilty of what i might have missed out on. Can any of you guys care to tell me which is the only essential software needed?
P.S i still have the soundblaster setup cd.

yea i do know its caused by sidebar.exe(windows sidebar) cause i've tried disabled that and during the next startup the annoying message wasn't there.

How can one uninstall and reinstall windows sidebar?

I normally wouldn't trust retailers, I prefer purchasing it from Dell online. Fingers cross, mine is still in good condition.

For me, the notebook arrived exactly on the estimated date; unless the notebook is currently on high demand or components ran out of stock (or any unforeseen delays), it shouldn't take longer than the estimated date.

I ordered mine and their components ran out of stock thus i have to wait another week + for it.

Found the ATI driver update, but the site takes forever to load.
Can anyone just help direct me to the latest graphics card driver for this laptop?? Direct as the download link. I can't load the DELL website in order to download the driver.

oh good god gracious rclxms.gif
I finally gotten the download link:

EDIT: Here's the latest ATI driver v.8.603.1.0000, A07 as of [12-5-2009]:


CODE

Downloading speed is fast.
