Dell Inspiron 1501 onboard wifi adapter driver help

[hitek]

Hello all, from hitek,

Wow nice forum!
I was searchn on the net for Dell Inspiron 1501 help.

PLEASE HELP

Subject of help needed:
Dell Inspiron 1501 onboard wifi card not working with Windows 7 Ultimate and NEED help getting a working driver.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 currently using XP w/SP3 as I'm typing now.

I have made a Acronis backup image of my Dell 1501 laptop so I can quickly within 30 min.s pop back my Windows 7 Ultimate back on when I can either find and get a Dell Inspiron 1501 onboard wifi driver that works OR buy a 100% sure Windows 7 USB wireless adapter with driver.

I have freshly formatted hd and fresh full install of Windows 7 Ultimate and seems to load and work great BUT.....

I went to Dell support / Driver download website page and I entered in our Dell Service Tag number and in the drag box, they are NO Windows 7. So, I'm guessing they do not support and offer a Windows 7 driver for my onboard wifi card?

I currently have stinky dialup internet and live in a rurual country area but sometimes go up in town to visit a spot that has cable wifi connection. My onboard wifi card with XP works great.. I have installed Vista and the drive for my onboard wifi card works fine. I went in to town to connection to cable with wireless router high speed connection to get Windows 7 updates but this onboard wifi card seems to recieve and reports wifi signals fine but trying to get it to connect and go is another. I have tried many many different wifi signals and areas and this onboard wifi card with Windows 7 does not want to work. I'm guessing it needs a Windows 7 driver. Do you think its not working cause of the driver too?

I need help finding out if they are anyone else with a Dell Inspiron 1501 have Windows 7 and have they found a Windows 7 driver work?

If I wanted to buy a 100% sure best range hottest USB wireless adapter coming with Windows 7 driver, what Name and Model would you recomend?

PLEASE HELP, and thank you all so much.

Please reply.

Hello hitek, and welcome to Windows Seven Forums!

Since the Vista wifi works I would recommend you download that and install it, in compatibility mode or manually if necessary.

Cheers!

The Dell Vista driver I found is for 32 bit, so you will want to install 7 x32 Ultimate, not the x64 bit version to use this wifi driver.

Cheers!

Hello again from hitek,
Well we have so far had a chance to try my new usb wifi adapter out with xp pro and works fine thus far. But us having this South West Va. heavy wet snow and power outages like crazy we haven't yet had a chance to put our handy backup image of Windows 7 Ultimate back on and try it with our new usb wifi adapter yet. We live on a hill and with this extreme wet super slick snow, we can get off the hill but LOL getting back up the hill and back home is the zinger LOL.

Looking forward to Christmas and LOVE this silver dollar snow flakes!!!!!
But we don't like 70% of all our county being without eletric power and no heat.

We are praying for those in our county without power and heat.

Thank you for all your replies. I do hope this new usb linksys N wifi adapter works for my Windows 7.
I will post and let you all know if it does.

Reply if you will.

God bless you all and hope you and your family have a up coming great CHRISTMAS!

Hello all again from hitek,

Well I’m back…..

We went out into to town where high speed wifi is and YES, thank goodness our Dell Inspirion 1501 onboard wifi card is now working with Windows 7 but now we find out that Frontpage 2002 isn’t working with Windows 7.

I guess I will have to find and get Frontpage 2003 version 11 32 bit version. I hope I can get it. Does anyone have and use it with Windows 7?

Got any input about this issue?

Reply if you can please.

God bless and Merry Christmas!

Hello all,
Well heck, I had found some websites saying that if I got the FrontPage 2003 version 11 32 bit version it is to work with Windows 7.

I got a copy installed and registered but its still not working.

It comes up asking for user name and password pop up window like normal and I enter in correct Frontpage user name and password to publish to my hosted websites and just keeps on pop'n back saying something like the folder or web your trying requires user name and password or has a password bla bla bla crap" Similiar to that any how. Dang Windows 7 compatibility website said if I got this FrontPage 2003 version 11 32 bit version it is soppose to work.

Anyone got any suggestions?

I have a gooe few websites I edit and have loved editing with Frontpage 2002 for years.

Hope to hear some replies.

Thanks you all and God bless you today.

Hitek;

It sounds like FrontPage 2003 is running fine under Windows 7, which is a good thing. If I understand your description, it is your web host security that is not accepting the username and password offered by the software. So you need to determine if the web host is the problem or if Windows 7 is blocking your connection. Temporarly turn off the firewall and check, disable your antivirus and check, and anything else that might block the connection.

Also, have you created a "New Connection" to the web host, to the web sites you wish to edit? I used to do that with XP, haven't needed to try with 7 yet. You may need to tell 7 that this is a secure connection to the web sites and that it is OK to let you connect?

Let us know what you find out?

Cheers!

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate and have finally found that if you can get Frontpage 2003 and get it to update this version 11.8164.8221 SP3 it works fine. I have been use to using Frontpage 2002 with xp for years.

This is what I've found out to work. Get Frontpage 2003 to update to 11.8164.8221 SP3.
