Dell Studio 1735 XP Drivers - COMPLETE WORKING SET

[GingerOne]

I have finally managed to compile a complete set of drivers for Windows XP Professional, seeing as Dell don't provide any for that OS.

So far, everything's been running fine for me. The graphics driver resets occasionally (just like it does on Vista) but doesn't seem to cause any problems.

I'm just glad to get rid of Vista - that was horrid!

The .zip I've compiled is 354MB

It contains the following drivers:

- Intel Chipset
- RICOH Flash Media Controller
- IDT Audio
- LAN
- Wireless LAN
- Bluetooth
- Infra-red
- AMD HDMI Audio
- Touchpad
- Webcam
- Graphics (Catalyst 8.9 - modified using Mobility Modder.NET) *
- Mobility Modder.NET
- .NET Framework (v1.1, v1.1 SP1, v2.0 and v2.0 SP1) - required for CCC and Mobility Modder.NET

NOTE: I've not found Quickset drivers yet - sorry!

* Non-WHQL signed video drivers may hose-up blu-ray playback for those with the Optiaric BRD... - Use at your own risk!

You're all more than welcome to try these if you like, but I need somewhere to upload the .zip to so anyone who wants them can access them.

If you can help, please let me know.

Thanks.

Nice Work...you may want to put a disclaimer up for the modded Catalyst though. Non-WHQL signed video drivers may hose-up blu-ray playback for those with the Optiaric BRD...

If you want a signed official Catalyst XP driver that wont block blu-ray copy protected playback...just use the 8.9 linked above...

I got two questions though: does the infrared REALLY work? If so that would be nice :-)
And, where is the driver for the touchsensitive play buttons?

Ahh, this'd be just perfect for me, drivers are really the only thing holding me back from XP.

Even if just for a temporary upload, could you place it on a site like Rapidshare or Megaupload?

OK, looks like I missed a driver. I don't use the touch buttons so never tried to get those working - sorry!

As for infrared, I have no infrared devices to try, so can't be 100% sure that works.

Hello there,
I have the same problem like the Gena, where can I find this wander drivers
Thx.

Would the default IR driver from Microsoft work? That's the one I've been using in Vista, and it's more useful than the Dell driver, because it allows me to use a MCE remote..

Have you found a place to post the driver set?
