    After backing up the shipping system image on my XPS17 I wiped it clean and did a fresh custom install of Win7SP1.

    I have all the Dell Drivers & some utilities on the Resources DVD that came with it.

    BUT, there are none of the Apps in a "Setup" format on this DVD. For example, I particularly wanted to fresh install (some) of the Dell Webcam applications. When I bought an XPS M1330 in June 2008 there was a DVD shipped with the system labelled "For Re-installing Dell Webcam Manager" P/N MP085 Rev A01. which contains all the Webcam Apps. But nothing like this was shipped with the XPS17.

    Is there anywhere on the web that a newer version of this DVD can be downloaded?

    Did anyone get a Dell Apps DVD shipped with the XPS17?

    You just need to login to http://downloadstore.dell.com/media
    All of the bundled software is there for download. I have downloaded the Webcam Central and powerdvd from there.

    Thank you, seanm95, that's done the trick - have managed to download all the apps I needed from this source (everything except McAfee Security Centre which I wouldn't touch with a barge-pole!)
