    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone has some recommendations on what drivers to use with this configuration. I have the Dell 5530 Broadband modem and the broadcom swipe sensor without drivers. I can't seem to get the Vista x64 versions to install.

    Is dell control point recommended or not? I have the beta versions of the nVidia drivers and they seem OK. Are there any other Dell drivers that are recommended that work in Win7 x64 or should I just wait for Dell to put some up on the support site?

    Thanks, Chris

    Sum drivers for the bluetooth device would be nice, too. I'd would like to omit the widcomm stuff.

    So, from the ones that know, :) What do you recommend, should I try the Vista drivers for x64 or should I wait for the "real" ones released from Dell.

    Thanks for the advice!

    dell vista 64 drivers works fine
    and, also, the win764bit drivers from the o.s. also works fine

    thanks for the reply - I have tried the DCP drivers - the latest ones - and they work well. I still can't get the Broadband modem to work - I get a message about not having the smart card reader driver. Even thought this is for the 5530, does it come from another product?

    I'm unable to install the webcam software, because the installer cant find teh device. Anyone the same problem, or a sollution maybe? The driver is installed and the webcam appears in the device manager as "integrated webcam", driver issuer and date also fit. Edit: Skype is able to use the webcam.
