Alienware Aurora m9700 Drivers Problem Solved.

VICTORY IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alienware got you down? Those smarmy, mankey gits not supporting 64 bit software makin you feel like you've purchaced a $5000 paperweight?

No more worries my friend!! I too have pulled my hair out and resisted the urge to throw this bloody thing out a window.

I've managed to find all the drivers save the Web Cam driver and for you convienience (because I wished i could find something like this) i've packaged them all up in one little ball for you.

At the end of this post are four links to RAR files i've made for you. It contains all those pesky missing drivers.

YOU MUST DOWNLOAD ALL THE RAR FILES.

The files are split up due to file size limitations put on me via the file host.

If you are not familiar with RAR files it's quite easy. Once you have downloaded all the RAR files... make sure they are all in the same directory! Double click on the file called "Alienware m9700 Vista x64 drivers.part1" and once WinRAR opens click "Extract to" then pick a folder and hit OK... Thats it.

Install the drivers as you normally would.

WinRAR is avaliable from RARlab


here are the links to the various files:

Part 1
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/...vers.part1.rar

Part 2
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/...vers.part2.rar

Part 3
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/...vers.part3.rar

Part 4
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/...vers.part4.rar


All I ask is that you share the wealth a little bit by telling other $5000 paperwieght owners that are having issues.

And maybe a little thank you would be nice... after all I beat my brains out for nearly a week solid finding this stuff.

Re: Alienware Aurora m9700 Drivers Problem Solved.

Cool! Thanks a lot man. I know how you feel – I spent many, many hours trying to find working Vista x64 drivers for my m9700. Thanks to you, both speakers on my Alienware now work instead of just one!

Btw, did you manage to find a solution to that pesky BisonCam driver problem?

Nevermind – they've finally got some working BisonCam drivers on the Alienware website. It's working for me now:

Thanks so much for doing the research, but the download links seem to be broken. Can you please repost? I've been looking for these for days!

Re: Alienware Aurora m9700 Drivers Problem Solved.

If anyone needs these drivers, I have uploaded them to my server (i.e. the ones that Setesh originally uploaded, as well as the BisonCam drivers). PM me, and I'll send you the link.

Re: Alienware Aurora m9700 Drivers Problem Solved.

Thanks to all who responded to my cry for help regarding getting the drivers back up for me to download. My m9700 is now running on all 64-bit goodness, and my god it is significantly better than when i ran 32-bit vista on it!

Now if only my Shoretel Phone call manager software would support 64-bit!

Re: Alienware Aurora m9700 Drivers Problem Solved.

well, I seem to have gotten most things working now -- however, I still need to get drivers for:

Airgo Wireless Card
Soundmax HD Drivers
PCI Modem

and some other bits and pieces that I can't see a human-readable name for in the device manager.

Please, someone help me!
