Vista 64-bit on XPS M1330

[thilor]

I think Dell released 64 bit drivers now, am I correct?

Thanks forceofnature.... my real issue now is since I have upgraded hard drive. I have 2 extra 160gb 2.5 inch drives. I hate to waste space. The drive I have installed now is a 320gb......... can anyone tell me how I can put the 160gb hard drive in a firewire external case. the laptop has 1394 port for firewire can someone give me a link to a good enclosure.. Must be firewire. I can't stand using USB 2.0

Did the install with my own Vista 64bit DVD using the sata drivers from the DELL site and everything is working fine, I used some drivers from the package here also (networking & bt). Testing some other Dell drivers too.

Grtz

iTunes crashes on me whenever I try to sign in to my iTunes store account. I've tried reinstalling and everything, but it still does it. I don't know about iPhone though.

Yes, in my other thread (and elsewhere in this one) I posted the link to the complete UPEK package. The only thing missing, IIRC, is password-less sign-in in FireFox; IE's is good, though.

The package is hosted by K-Byte on its web site because it sells an external USB reader that uses the same chip as the M133O's.

The link is: http://www.kbytememory.com/pages/fin...security.shtml

Scroll down and click on software for Vista. The package contains both x86 and x64 versions.
