I upgraded to Win7 x64, did a custom build so it installed new, not over the top of Vista x64. Haven't had an issue, despite claims in other forums. The Dell Wireless 1505 WLAN PCIe card bought a while back installed lickity-split just like the RC builds. Think it was connected before the internal NIC was! Installed all the MS drivers, and it's fully functional. Somehow the Creative X-Fi software update came up, but it failed to install (as usual), but the sound is better than with the Creative

Been so busy this week I haven't even gotten to backing mush up for the clean install. Thanks for the ESA link, though as suspected it's XP/Vista.

Still get crackling & popping when playing music and surfing the internet. And while using programs, windows explorer, or not doing anything I get the voices, screeches, blups, R2DR in a Baggy sounds; it's all random. Every new update or idea may work for a day or two, then it's back to it's usual annoying self again. Like the card has a mind of it's own! Really wished someone at Dell would give me a replacement soundcard. Those stupid technicians won't do anything unless
