Where exactly was it mentioned to call Dell, and why?
You, or someone else mentioned calling Dell to activate... as stated in a earlier post and that's what I was going to do but it activated just fine without calling dell. The only issue I'm having is my USB driver isn't working and I don't see the exact name of it on the support page at dell but I'm going to work it out.
Make sure to check for drivers delivered by optional Windows Updates in the first few rounds of Updates.
If you don't have all drivers by then, and still need the USB controller, import the chipset from the Dell Support Downloads webpage for your tag number.
quick question, what's the sm bus controller and where on the support driver page can I find it? Under network or communication?
It is a chipset component. Make sure you run several rounds of optional Windows Updates to see what drivers are delivered first.
