Rick I have brought the thread back together and moved it in its entirety to the Microsoft OS forum board and relabelled accordingly. It was getting a little confusing otherwise. lllypa how far have you got with regards to installation of Windows 7? I assume you have the Operating System installed, do you have Service Pack 1 installed? You are running the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version? Install the following: Chipset drivers Intel Chipset HM77, Intel Management Engine Interface, Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller, Realtek Card Reader Intel Rapid Storage Technology  Video Driver (64 bit) STMicroelectronics 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer  Ethernet Driver  Alps Touchpad  Audio Driver  Validity Sensor Fingerprint Driver  With regards to customisation in this model. Do you know what your wireless card is?  It should be either a Dell Wireless 1703, Dell Wireless 1704 or Dell Wireless 1901 There is also an Intel Advanced-N 2230 Wireless/Bluetooth Driver alongside Intel Smart Connect Technology. The first 3 are on the Dell Drivers and Downloads Page and are presumably the ones you have tried. The Intel one is a Network Driver but is listed under Network Applications on the Dell FTP website (despite being a driver) and there is no mention of it on the Dell Drivers and Downloads Page. It could be your missing driver, I think Dell are also more likely to put Intel Drivers for Linux systems as Ubuntu has better support for them. If ensure, connect via an ethernet cable and run the Intel(R) Driver Update Utility Wireless. Intel WiDi (Intel Wireless Display) Intel Turbo Boost Technology Monitor Software  Intel Rapid Start Technology Dell Quickset  Do you have any optional Communication Drivers? After installation of all the above can you carry out Step 12 of A Clean Install of Windows 7?  
Hi! Just bought Vostro 3360. It came with Ubuntu 11 on board. When I first used it everything worked fine - in Ubuntu I could use WiFi connected to my home router. I decided to put Windows 7 on. So I installed it and went on Dell to get drivers. So I gave my Service Tag and I got the drivers list, downloaded it, installed, so far so good, but.... I realised: 1. I don't have Wireless connections in Windows. 2. Windows doesn't show any Wireless card on board. 3. There was no wireless driver offered me by Dell within my service tag. I checked My Devices and it shows 2 things without drivers - Network controller and SM Bus controller. Trying to update drivers for them gave nothing - it can't find them neither automatically, nor manually. So I tried to download 3 optionall Wireless drivers for Vostro 3360 from Dell, but none of them did the thing. All the installers just finish and nothing happens. Please HELP!!! This drives me crazy! Thank you! Thread Re-merged, Relabelled and moved to the Microsoft OS by natakuc4
