    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.

        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?

          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.

                  Nor am I - I never remember about that forum, so I haven't pointed anybody that way.

                    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
