Get drivers and downloads for your Dell Alienware Elite Gaming Mouse – AW958. Download and install the latest drivers, firmware and software. To ensure the optimal performance of the mouse on your Windows 10 Creators Update, Windows 8.1, even Android, iOS and Mac OS X, you need to download proper Microsoft Arc Mouse drivers that are compatible with it, like Arc Touch Mouse drivers or Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse drivers.

If you are experiencing weird issues after upgrading your hardware, or you’ve just upgraded to the latest hardware device and aren’t seeing the performance you’d like, you might want to remove the old drivers which are still installed for the old hardware, even though you can’t normally see them in device manager. What you have to do is set a less-known flag to allow you to see non-present devices, and then launch device manager. You’ll then see the old devices in the list, and can uninstall the drivers for them.

In Windows 7 or Vista, the first thing you’ll need to do is open a command prompt in administrator mode. Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open in administrator mode. (You can also right-click on the command prompt and choose Run as Administrator) Now paste in the following line: SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 Then type in devmgmt.msc to start up Device Manager from the administrator command prompt: Once you are in Device Manager, go to the View menu and choose Show Hidden Devices, which will show all the device drivers including things that aren’t currently installed in your computer. Notice how I have 6 mice in the list, even though I only have two installed (and my drawing tablet). The other 3 mice are old mice that I’ve used until they died. The Geek tends to wear through input devices very quickly since he never leaves the computer You can right-click on the driver and then choose Uninstall from the menu to remove the drivers for that old hardware. I’ve found that this can resolve a lot of weird issues, and even increase performance on some machines where you’ve upgraded a ton of times.

This isn’t necessarily going to increase performance, but it’s nice to have a tidy computer nonetheless. This tip also works the same in Windows 7, Vista, and XP.

Hi, so long-story short, hard drive died in our Acer Aspire E5-511 laptop just out of warranty, so we did a home replacement, everything went well, we didn't break anything despite the horrific design but then we encountered an issue. The screen said 'No bootable device', simple fix right? We installed a new copy of Windows using the boot manager to install it from the disc to the hard drive and everything went well. Later we realised though our touchpad wasn't responding because we didn't have drivers (which we later installed but rather because we had to set-up to laptop to load up in legacy mode instead of UEFI which Acer laptops apparently don't like. To counter this we were able to disable secure boot in UEFI and move over to that but we just ended back up to 'No bootable device' again. Ok, I didn't keep it that short. Sorry for the long post but we're kind of stumped for ideas.

Ask any questions about the laptop and I'll answer them to the best of my ability.
