im not liking dell

The dell dock can be downloaded from their site over at www.delldock.com. I tried that 2, nothing (I uninstall, reinstall, go through like lots of restarts)

You can see other people complaining about very same issue here: http://en.community....t/19290102.aspx
So, it doesn't look, like it's just you.
Did you uninstall Dell Support Center yet?

Yea, a while back

Reading that, im like "woah"

Anyways, I shall now wait until they have the driver site back up! Im gonna go for a restart to see if by any strange means, if my dell dock starts to work again.

[Broni]

Yes. I tried it again and no go.

The Magic Restart Button Has Failed Me! Noo! haha

But still, I have had terrible experience with Dell in the past year, and thinking that 85% of all my purchased laptops (previous and present, about 8) are from dell!


Time to find a new fav. laptop manufacturer Ill go with my new best thing. Toshiba :| Hope they dont fail me

Alrighty, We shall now wait to see if it will ever come back on!

Do you think this may be malware though? Any thoughts?

Do you think this may be malware though? Any thoughts?

Possible too, but you definitely had/have Windows/drivers file issues.
When we're done here, you'll go to malware forum to check your computer there.

ooooo lookie!

It works

BUT

I already have downloaded the file that downloads the drivers yesterday.

I re-downloaded it and went to run it, and guess what? Another error, relating to Dell e support..

[Broni]

I already have downloaded the file that downloads the drivers

What kind of file would that be?

[bluegang6]

DellDriverDownloadManager.exe

a download manager for the drivers. go figure!

[Broni]

Don't even touch it.
We have to access Dell site and download what we want, not what Dell wants.

[bluegang6]

I got that from trying to download the driver... (video)

[Broni]

Apparently, you clicked on something....

[bluegang6]

Yup, I clicked on download, it takes me to a DellDriverDownloadManager. Their drivers are available through DM not through the site! That is sad :'(

I cannot run their Download Manager. Here is the Direct Link to what I want:
http://support.dell....=&fileid=305902

EDIT_ I opened it up in a different browser, worked will (Had the option to use download manager or direct)

OK, here is your laptop's main page: http://support.dell....ndex=&typeid=-1

I suggest, you reinstall your chipset driver, first: http://support.dell....1&fileid=342057
Make sure, you read installation instructions:

1.Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled R237653.exe.
2.The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or
unzip to C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R237653. Write down this path so the executable (I.e.
Setup.exe) file can be found later.
3.The Self-Extractor window appears.
4.Click OK.
5.After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor
window is still open, close it.
6.Click the Start button and then click Run.
7.Type C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R237653 in the Open textbox and then click OK.
8.Follow the on-screen installation instructions.

Then, go for reinstalling video driver: http://support.dell....=&fileid=305902

1.Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled R215593.exe.
2.The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or
unzip to C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R215593. Write down this path so the executable (I.e.
Setup.exe) file can be found later.
3.The Self-Extractor window appears.
4.Click OK.
5.After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor
window is still open, close it.
6.Click the Start button and then click Run.
7.Type C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R215593 in the Open textbox and then click OK.
8.Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
