    I'm sorry, I can't help you with your question but I see nothing in there that deserves a 1. Let me counteract that.

      Audio Driver issue with Optiplex 755 and Windows 7 Friends, Recently (Sunday), I upgraded my home PC (Optiplex 755 comes with Vista Professional by default) to Windows 7. The installation went well. After the installation most drivers provided by DELL didn't install. Audio - Unable to installed Video - Installed it, but it shows an warning everytime I open Windows Ethernet, AMT - Didn't installed. Forget the others, I need the Audio driver. It requires SoundMax driver which doesn't existing for Windows 7, even in DELL website. All the forums I googled provide the same driver which is given by DELL for Vista. Is anyone had this problem before? Any idea how to resolve it?

      Have you tried to forcefully install the Vista driver? I know I have to do that for my WIFI PCI card, even though the VID and PID's dont even match.

        Do you mean "Run in compatibility mode"? If yes, I haven't tried it yet.

                        Odd. I have an OptiPlex 755 at my work. Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit detected all of the hardware without issue. Did you run a clean install or did you upgrade over the top of Vista? Also, Vista drivers should (for the most part) work in Windows 7 as long as you match the bit version of the operating system. If you're installing Windows 7 64-bit, make sure you download 64-bit drivers from the Dell/manufacturer's site. Hope this helps. :) Flynn

                          I installed most of the drivers by setting the compatibility mode to Vista. But Audio driver didn't work in that way. I should check with DELL. Thanks Flynn
