Good Morning jslynch78,

When you downloaded the update, did you "Save" to a file folder or did you "Run" from the online website?  If you ran directly from the web site, then the program most likely installed and you are set to go.

If you know the version identification number, go to your nvidia control and check to see which version is showing.  If it is the new version from April 2nd then you are good to go.

I saved it to the hard drive and when I go to install it I receive thw message "Another version of this product is already installed" and then it tells me to remove the old version using add/remove programs but I don't know which program entry I need to uninstall. It's the April 2 update A04 for the XPS 730.

Rehi jslynch78,

Sorry for the delay, I was at work and needed to be in front of my XPS 730 H2C in order to make sure about what I was saying. (sent an earlier response from work and made a mistake, included my own System ID number in the post and it was removed, totally my fault because I knew better but just overlooked my mistake)

So here is what the Dell Downloads and Drivers says about this ESA update:

Installation Instructions:

Hard Drive Installation (via WinZip) with Setup.exe File for Dell_ESA-Performance_A04_R192445.exe

Download

1.Click Download Now, to download the file.
2.When the File Download window appears, click Save (Windows XP
users will click Save) this program to disk and click OK. The Save In:
window appears.
3.From the Save In: field, click the down arrow then click to
select Desktop and click Save. The file will download to your desktop.
4.If the Download Complete window appears, click Close. The file
icon appears on your desktop.

Install

1.Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled Dell_ESA-Performance_A04_R192445.exe.
2.The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or
unzip to C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R192445. Write down this path so the executable (I.e.
Setup.exe) file can be found later.
3.The Self-Extractor window appears.
4.Click OK.
5.After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor
window is still open, close it.
6.Click the Start button and then click Run.
7.Type C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R192445 in the Open textbox and then click OK.
8.Follow the on-screen installation instructions.

So when you go into the Windows Control Panel/Add&Delete/ you will need to look for "Nvidia Performance"  you will notice in the above instructions on line one it says something like Dell-ESA-Performance, so that is what you are replacing.  You will then need to establish new profile policies by opening Nvidia Corporation/Performance from the programs settings.  Often when you download a new/update version of ESA you will need to click "I accept terms" before the Performance setting can be seen.  Hope that this is more clear than it sounds right now to me,

Post back if you have other questions,

Best,
