Program to automatically install drivers

Service and Support submitted by mo Jan 30

I think Dell should make a program for reinstalling the drivers; it should automatically download the appropriate drivers for that computer and install them in order it is supposed to be, because some people just install any driver they see under their service tag on the web, don’t even know the order how to install them. 3 Comments »

Drivers Update

Dell Web Site submitted by sanjeev 02/17/07

I think it would be nice, if dell could provide the updated driver automatically. Like i have inpiron/e1505 and i went from Windows Media Center to Windows Vista Business. For couple of weeks i wasn't able to use my wireless because for some reasons my driver was not supported, but later i found the driver. So, it would be nice if dell could provide automatic driver download so that user don't have to spend much time where to go and download the drivers. 2 Comments »

Automatic driver download for our Dell systems

Dell Web Site, Software submitted by sr45 03/11/07

I believe Dell might want to consider a way to scan our Dell systems, that will determine what you have, what version of the device driver you have, and then offer you the opportunity to install an update if it finds one.

Right now, new computer users are having a difficult time under stand the driver download site for their system, and which drivers to download. 2 Comments »

Automatic driver downloads

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Dell Web Site submitted by sangelnet 02/27/07

There should be a widget that searches for all your drivers, with out you having to go thru all the work.

A little balloon should pop up and say "New drivers ready to install" 1 Comment »

There should be an option of having no trialware on all computers

Software submitted by jervis961 08/23/07 **REVIEWED**

Here is a news article about trialware and how Dell feels that regular customers want it but small business ones do. Do they not look at the ideas here?

"Not interested in all of the trial software that clutters up new PCs? You're not alone: According to Dell's recent research in both focus groups and broader surveys, small-business users overwhelmingly view trialware as an irritant, not a benefit. That research has led Dell to axe the extras from its new Vostro line of small-business desktop PCs and laptops. Eliminating demo applications is a major step for Dell, which has caught flack for the quantity of trialware on its consumer PCs. (One frustrated customer went so far as to develop a "Decrapifier" utility. The company says that consumers who buy PCs for personal use do express interest in preloaded trial software, but that small-business users have different needs. By eliminating the trialware from Vostro machines, Dell says it has cut the system setup time in half. For now, Dell is the only major PC manufacturer to ship small-business systems without preinstalled trialware as a standard practice. (Some competitors, such as HP, allow customers to choose a no-trialware configuration.)"


Dell offers a broad amount of software choice and minimal software shipped. Read jeremy_f's post on the options we give our customers

Standardize Power Cables for Laptops

Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops submitted by badblood 08/27/07 **UNDER REVIEW**

Nothing is more annoying than laptop power cables that are not interchangeable from one computer model to another or from one brand of computer to another. Power cables have been standardized on most electrical applicances, including desktop computers for decades.

Make an effort to promote and implement standard power cables for laptops.
