Hi, I've been trying to use my USB Controller on my laptop however its not working. My laptop model is Inspiron 15 3542. In the action center it says 'Install your USB controller driver' which when I googled it brought

downloadcenter.intel.com/download/21129/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Controller-Driver-for-Intel-7-Series-C216-Chipset-Family which I downloaded however the controller still wont work and the same message still appears in the action center. 

When I went to the program detail it brought up this 

Where would I find the correct driver to install for this? I couldnt find any solutions, thanks!

Restoring programs from a system reinstall

$

I recently sent my laptop into Dell for repairs, and they ended up re-installing my operating system, which of course wiped every program out. I backed my computer up to an external hard drive, but it doesn't seem to have been successful for Microsoft Office.

I purchased my laptop from QVC over a year ago and it included Office, but I don't recall ever getting a disk or anything with it. I searched through my files just in case, but I don't have any disks/paperwork on how to reinstall Office. Am I going to have to repurchase Office or is there something I can do?

Can't Use Webcam Inspiron 5737

I reinstalled Windows 7. Now I can't use my webcam. It recognized my webcam as 'integrated webcam' you can see it in device manager under imaging devices and it says it is working fine and the value is USB video device. My problem is I do not have Dell Webcam Central so I can not open the webcam. I didn't get reinstall discs when I bought my laptop. Also if I go to my dell downloads it only shows Mcafee and Cyberlink Mediasuite. How can I reinstall Dell Webcam Central?


Dell Inspiron 15 3542 shutdown while in sleep mode

$

I had this problem in the past but very infrequent, maybe happened twice over several months. Dell tech support removed the check from the System Failure Automatic Restart option saying it was the probable cause. Again my problem is that the unit would appear to shutdown while in sleep mode it was not restarting. I recently updated the BIOS (I was A05 which was the current version on 7/26/2015 and I updated from A04 to A05). I did not have any issues and I normally don't shutdown just close the lid to put it in sleep mode. Powering on the unit seems to take an excessive amount of time before the unit is usable and coming out of sleep mode unit is ready in a second or two. On 7/29/2015 The Dell System detect indicated several driver updates were available and a BIOS update A08. The following is the drivers updated in addition to the Bios update of A05 to A08:

Chipset_Driver_5R99D_WN32_11.0.0.1153_A00.EXE
Chipset_Driver_P79WN_WN32_10.1.1.7_A00.EXE
Serial-ATA_Driver_379P3_WN32_14.5.0.1081_A00.EXE

It was after these updates wee completed that the sleep mode shutdown started up again and frequently. Updates were done on 7/29/2015 around 7PM and the unit was put into sleep mode around 12:5 AM on 8/1/2015 and according to the event logs an unexpected shutdown happened around 1:51 AM. On the same day 8/1/2015 unit was put into sleep mode at 1:23PM and the event log reported an unexpected shutdown at 3:38PM. The only changes that were done that seemed to probably cause the repeating sleep mode problem are the above updates and BIOS change. Has anyone else having this problem?

DVI output to 2001FP not working with new laptop

Hello, I recently received a new laptop from my company (Dell E5450) to replace the E6420 I had that was having hard drive errors and locking up.  I have a docking station and use 2 Dell 2001FP 10" monitors.  Both work fine on my E6420, one connected to the DSub connector on the dock and the other to the DVI connector.  With the new E5450 on the dock, while I can see both monitors in the video properties and multiple monitor configuration, the one connected to the DVI output on the dock will only display a message "2: DVI-D Cannot display this mode".  I've tried all sorts of combinations of resolutions, and switched it to the DSub output and it works there.  The only real difference is that the older laptop was 32bit and this new one is 64.  These are old monitors, could it be a driver issue?

Dell Inspiron 14Z 5423 windows 10 booting issues ??

$

Hi ,

  I have updated my laptop to (inspiron 14Z 5423) to windows 10 on july 29 . After upgrading , wifi options and wifi settings didn't show up in the settings menu. I tried to run dell diagnostic tools but  all the results are shown as  "passed" (how could it happen??..) and i thought it might be due to driver issues and tried to re-install the wifi drivers . to my surprise , i couldn't  find any drivers in the dell site and  after performing "detect service tag for driver update."..it says drivers are upto date.


  So .. after complete disappointment .. i rolled back my OS to windows 8.1 and everything worked fine . Again on august 1st...a menu popped  up on my laptop saying ...your laptop  is good to upgrade as  DELL team tested and no sign of any issues..bla bla. I thought may be this time the upgrade may work and updated my OS..and again disappointed to notice that wifi failed to detect in windows 10.So .left  with no option..i tried  "Reset" option in windows 10 for clean install .

  This time wifi worked and i am happy and  "sound" failed to detect. Again ran all those dell diagnostics...all the results show "passed" . Tried to download dell sound drivers.. from dell site but i could not see anything in the site

while running tests in the boot menu ..i have encountered  blue screen error and from then my laptop failed to boot and i could only hear 3 beep sounds ??

Tried resetting the button underneath the latoptop..but no use. Any other 14Z users facing the same issue?
