Hey guys!

I found the original Dell XP drivers for the Studio 1535 on http://driver.zol.com.cn/list.php?ke...nelid=&x=0&y=0 . Now all devices are working. Just download all files branded with WinXP. Let me know your results. My Studio 1535 is now working fine WITH SOUND!!!

m3d0r,

I suspect you noticed quite a speed increase without all the Vista overhead and resource hogs running? Have you run any Benchmarks yet?

Regards,

Hi!

No I haven't run a benchmark yet but the speed in comparison to Vista is much better.

@ E_B_E: Here you can find the Bluetooth driver: http://rapidshare.de/files/40178608/...th370.EXE.html

Thank you for the links. Does this driver work with 1510 or only with 1397?

m3d0r, I get 403 forbidden when I try to goto that URL. could you move it over to rapidshare with the rest?

Thanks,
PepperHead

P.S. You said you did notice a speed increase over Vista. Did you do yours as a dual boot or format and do a clean XP Pro install?

Thanks a lot M3D0R. I was desperate, "driverless", and about to reinstall VISTA. You saved my day...

Still one request though :
- I did instal all the drivers you suggested and WIFI is still not working (wireless card is not recognised by the system - no wireless conection appears in the "network connection" folder, etc.)
- In "devices manager", the network controller appears with a yellow quote mark and of course, I can't update it.
- when running a drivers detector, it appears "Broadcom Corporation Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card" is installed as well as "Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5784M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe".

Any tip to solve this out ?

To install wifi look here: Installing Windows XP Pro on Studio 15

To install the Dell 1510 just do the same steps and choose "Broadcom 802.11n Networkadapter".

Have you tried to delete the gigabit driver and install it again (i mean the whole software installed by running the installer)?
