"the Ricoh driver usually installs 3 devices, extract the Dell Vista driver (e.g. with Universal Extractor) and look for the following subdirectories and install the driver manually via the device manager:

xd, sd and smc

worked for me on an Inspiron 1525 with Windows 7 32-bit yesterday."

I also have a 1525 and the only drivers I felt I needed to install were for sound and for touchpad. Everything else is quite fine with the W7 built in/findable software. While my system also shows the same yellow (not red for complete failure) notifications, basically if it isn't a problem, then don't worry about it. Have you had any hardware difficulties? I find this an essential attitude with Windows OSs, although not really a SuperUser approach...
