I think the BB came as Vista incompatible. U check their website for any patch or update. If i'm not wrong they stated there in the requirement

Yea the patch and upgrade instructions are on their website, just flash and it will work fine in Vista

Select on the Windows Vista Support link at the bottom left.

Note that x64 versions of Vista is still not supported.

Click sound in XPS.

Hi guys, i am new here but having problem with my XPS1210. Everytime move to new folder or webpage, there's click sound. ANy guys face the same problems?

 

[tekman]

Which OS are you using? Hmm could be related to the windows default sound ?

 

[smpeh28]

XPS Click

thks, think it's more of coming from inside. it did not happen a few days i bought it. likely still under warranty, first time use dell, anyone knows what's the XPS direct number? Really giving me a headache, wanna use it for presentation tomorrow.

 

[tekman]

The number should be in the black box :X
Just checked mine, the XPS support line should be: 1800-394-7464

I hope you have requested for Windows XP.

I got a 640m with 32-bit Vista installed. Anything that I should watch out for?

Hope you have configure it with at least 2GB of RAM; otherwise it'll crawl.

You may face problems with your old software/games.

It's normal, just reduce your speaker volume.

press the button on the extreme left to mute all sounds.

Exactly! I also hahaha. Thought 2gb is a lot of spare but i would prefer that than no spare at all. Think that time Dell still offer Vista for notebook with 512bm RAM. Siao!

This is the freedom to choose.

it is not siao...some ppl prefer to get ram themselves... If i can choose, i would like to take out the hdd, ram, OS. I will get them myself.

 

[Diavonex]

Hard disk price is resonable

RAM is very expensive

DELL Windows CD is good; no need to activate; don't have to worry about driver for SATA drive.

 

[addict951]

for me i'd choose more hdd space than speed. dun forget faster speed also brings greater heat.
60Gb 2.5" hdd space is a lot to sacrifice for me. hdd space is nv enuff. *ahem* I dun need blazing speed, reasonable can already.

and I tweaked the msconfig liao, now down to 42 processes upon startup

 

[AcerAF715]

hmm the dell stuff will definitely be installed if u use their vista setup? feel like reinstalling everything + partition my drive... but first time on vista.. not confident..

any drivers or so i have to install beside the vista cd?

I've switched to a 7,200RPM HDD; no difference in battery consumption; HDD runs about 2 degrees higher but performance improvement is significant.

thks, guys. Got the click sound under control.seems like got lots to learn about vista. XPS1210 speakers really bad.
