vista and 7 have big issues with the Ricoh card reader chip - use the modified Dell driver version

You should have a grey or black driver CD with your laptop, but it's a right PITA to install from - grab the latest from Dell's website.

no available usb downloads on dell support site
have just looked for Dell Inspriron 1750 latest USB driver

Yeah, i'm using win 7 on an inspiron 6000 and that took a bit of playing around with unofficial drivers and oh, compatability mode for a certain program...Quickset.exe I'm looking at you:cool:

look up Intel chipset drivers - they control the USB function on Dells


A handy tip for installing Dell drivers (mainly for Win7 users trying Vista drivers that go 'oh you have Win7, I refuse to install'):while the 'wrong operating system' message is still open, use Device Manager to Update Driver and manually browse to the numbered folder. The drivers are ready and waiting, but get deleted when you close the error message.

go to dell.co.uk and click Support, then choose Drivers and Downloads - put in your serial number and you'll be given a list of drivers that exactly match your laptop. Choose the correct operating system to get the matching driver for your card reader.

Which operating system did you install btw?

Phew, the annoying warning has gone

looks like I've sorted it
Looked up the usb drivers, found one related to a card reader
installed it and hey-presto

thanks to all for tips and advice

now that's sorted, it looks like I've got to install/update Windows 7

so I could be back soon:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

thanks again

I found the realtek card reader driver for the inspiron 1750 on the dell site, will this not do, or am I missing something?

Its under "chipset"
