    Dell Precision M6500 Drivers
    « on: July 22, 2010, 03:23:53 AM »
    I have just got a dell precision m6500 laptop and trying to get it setup with both windows 7 and windows XP 64bit.  I managed to get the Windows 7 no problem but the XP 64 bit is causing some issues.  I have a tried a number of drivers from the cd to the dell suport drivers yet still cant find the correct drivers for the following

    SM Bus controller
    broadcom ush driver
    6 x base system device drivers 

    It does not have a fingure print reader so not sure why its looking for the USH Driver?  The laptop works fine just the drivers missing which bugs me.

    Dell's are finicky with drivers...
    You need to scour their site for Win7 64BIT drivers....
    If they are not listed for those devices....you could try the Vista 64Bit ones....but they should come from Dell only nonetheless

      Will the Windows 7 drivers work with the XP?  The ones i tried come up wit errors but worth another shot.
