Deploy Windows 8.1 to a Dell XPS 12 9Q33
We just got a new model laptop in the Dell XPS12 9Q33 and have had no luck with imaging the thing can't even get it to PXE boot. Just wondering if anyone else was able to successfully boot and image that model laptop. For example did you use a USB drive
or somehow got PXE to work?
I have it on good authority that if you type Google into Google you will bring down the internet...
Hi,
What's the error you met? Could you please describe your problem with more details?
Please check smspxe.log if possible.

Windows Vista Ultimate on Dell XPS Notebook: Why do I need Boot Camp?
I use Windows Vista Ultimate on my Dell XPS Notebook, and application software includes iTunes and Apple Store. Is this why I received a message to download "Boot Camp"? Why do I need Boot Camp?
Sounds really messed up to me. Bonjour? maybe.
Apple AppStore? I think everyone has the right to their own appstore but I thought only an Apple deivce (mac, iphone, ipad, etc)
Apple doesn't support or license use of Mac OS on other hardware, which they call "hackintoshes."
Check the iTunes for Windows forums and support pages.

Downloaded 26 to Dell XPS/Windows XP;how do I run it ?
Firefox told me to upgrade browser. So I downloaded Firefox Setup Stub 26.0 (4).exe. Now, when I open Firefox the message is "you need to upgrade"--still. How do I formalize the upgrade so that it is --in fact--upgraded and running once and for all? I'm running in Windows on a decade-old Dell XPS Windows XP Thanks.
EricThe stub installer is a small download. Once you double-click it, it pulls a larger file and installs it. If you've already done that, I suspect you might have a different issue.
Check your internal version number using Help > About Firefox
If that shows 26.0, then your Firefox is up-to-date and there is a glitch with the version number Firefox is reporting to websites. You can clear this up using the method outlined in this article: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]].
Does that work? -

Used to work fine until we updated MS licence. Seems to be a problem with graphics driver, yet I've tried all the posted fixes with no luck.Hi,
Due to Windows Movie Maker is an additional application, you can reinstall it for repair.

I am having tremendous difficulty installing I Tunes onto my new Dell XPS (Windows 8). First it downloaded but my library wasn't there and it would not recognize my ipod.
Then I uninstalled it and now it won't reinstall saying:
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple applicationSupport is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2 (Windows error 2)
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times.......not working.
Any ideas??With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I can't find a pull down at the Itunes store to authorize my new Dell XPS computer with Window 8... according to the support there is supposed to be one... Anybody run into this before?
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -
Greetings, I just purchased a Dell XPS with Windows 8.1. I have tried to load Irfanview, Kompozer, FileZilla, and other software that I have run, most on XP and even on MacOS, but the downloaded software will not run or install on my new Windowx 8.1. This
is terribly frustrating! I also don't understand why there is no "start" button that leads you to the software you have installed.
Please help. Thank you.Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
To get Start menu press + X

Where is the Start menu?
If you wish to get the conventional Start button then download and install
Classic Shell
some older programs might run poorly or not run at all. If an older program doesn't run correctly or doesn't install, start the Program Compatibility Wizard, which simulates an earlier version of Windows. You can :-

I have Windows 7 home premium, running on a Dell XPS 15, with 64 bit OS, and when i went to install itunes for my new phone, it would almost install, but then say that it couldn't install due to issues with windows Installer. has anybody had this happen to them? can anybody help me out with this?
Many thanks.
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time? -
Dell XPS One 27 All In One Desktop PC Windows 10 Graphics Driver Issues
I am posting to let Dell know about a problem with the current Dell XPS One 27 all in one desktop PC running the technical preview of Windows 10. The XPS 27 uses a NVidia mobile graphics card that utilizes the 750M graphics chipset. Dell publishes a compatible driver on its support pages (Driver 331.82). This driver works on Windows 10 technical preview builds 9962 and 10041, however the Windows Update feature in Windows 10 technical preview forces driver updates. The one being forced by Windows Update (Driver 349.90) is not 100% compatible with the hardware in the XPS 27.
When the XPS 27 is running driver 331.82 (supplied by Dell) then Office 365 is both installable and will run normally, however when Windows Update forces the driver update to 349.90, Office 365 is no longer installable, and if it has already been installed, then it will crash whenever any of the apps within the office suite are launched.
Currently in Windows 10 technical preview, there is no way of stopping Windows Update from installing the updated driver. Even if you roll the driver back to the one supplied by Dell, Windows Update will then re-install 349.90 over the top of it.
I have left detailed feedback for Microsoft using the Windows 10 feedback system. I am posting this here to let Dell know about the problem as well.Greetings. The problem associated with Office 365 has been resolved. I am currently running Windows 10 Build 10074 and I am running Nvidia's GeForce 350.12 driver.
Nvidia released some beta drivers for Windows 10 last week. These are currently 352.??. They have one for the 750M chipset, however the implementation of the 750M chipset used by Dell in the XPS One 27 doesn't appear to be standard., The driver won't install, citing "no compatible hardware found"
Another problem with the current 350.12 drive in either Windows 10 build 10061 or 10074 is that it has broken all 3D gaming. For example Skyrim on Steam no longer runs, and neither does Diablo III on Battle.net. But at least Office 365 works, so I would rather be productive than entertained. -

For the Dell XPS 13 what are all of the software packages you get when you order it at the bestbuy web sight
I successfully got my XPS 13 to PXE boot to Windows Deployment Services (WDS). It would be similar for SCCM.
Requirements
BIOS A08 (didn’t test with lower versions)
Startech.com USB-to-Ethernet dongle part # USB21000S2
Drivers for the right-side USB 3.0 port installed into your WDS boot image (see instructions below). The left-side USB port is USB 2.0 and doesn’t need any drivers.
Steps to capture an image
Install the drivers for the right-side USB 3.0 port into your WDS boot image
Get the driver from Dell (support.dell.com, enter your Dell service tag, drivers, under Chipset, Fresno Logic xHCI (USB 3.0) Controller or
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails/Product/xps-13-l321x?driverId=R9WKR&osCode=W764&fileId=2998648840&languageCode=en )
Run the driver and choose to “Extract without installing”
I assume you know how to add a driver package to WDS and add it to a boot image.
Plug the dongle into the left-side USB port (doesn’t work in the right port)
Power on the computer, F12, select Network and PXE boot
Plug in the external hard drive into the right-side USB port as the target for the captured image
Then do the usual WDS process to capture the image
This would be almost identical to deploy an image with WDS.

TouchPad lock key does not work anymore on Dell XPS L401X
Hi everyone,
On my Dell XPS L401X laptop, there is a key to lock/unlock the touchpad. It used to work fine on Windows and on new fresh install ArchLinux, but now it does not work anymore. If I remember correctly, I did not change, configure any shortcut so far.
Any hint to fix this problem?
