I just installed Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude D505 and my screen resolution is terrible. I'm having trouble locating the right drivers on the Dell site and to tell you the truth, I don't even know what I need.
I've tried many different beta builds of Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude D610 including and up to build 7229, but they all have the same problem. Everything works great except for the video driver that is downloaded through Windows Update. The video card driver that is downloaded through Windows Udate is the "Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family". Once the driver is installed, and the laptop restarted, everything looks great at the native 1400x1050 resolution until I click on the Start button or fire up IE8. Then the entire screen washes out I can't read anything. It's hard to explain, but basically it looks like the contrast and brightness is turned all the way up and makes the laptop unusuable. I tried downloading the drivers from Dell's website, but they are for WinXP only and I didn't have any luck installing them. I also tried going to Intel's website and looking for a Win7 beta driver for my video chipset but didn't find any.
I have a Dell D600 Lattitude laptop that was running Vista Home Prem.I usually do clean installs but I thought I would give the upgrade option from Vista to 7 a try. Anyways, the upgrade went really smooth. I realize that ATI doesnt support the 9000 series anymore. I was wondering since windows had a driver for the 9000 series for Vista, would it be possible to use that one? The only prob I am having is I cant seem to find the driver anywhere. (googled it etc...) Windows update catalog only lists XP/2000 drivers I dont think I could install the 9000 series driver in XP mode because of WDDM.

I've installed Win 7 a few days ago. I somehow installed the drivers such as wireless card, audio, etc. But I couldn't install the video driver, which was before ATI Radeon x300. I made a very deep search via web and Ati seems to not support some of their cards in Win7 and the solution is to download the driver's Vista x64 edition. I DID everything, billions of downloads, installations, everything I could do.. But I still don't have a video graphic card. Whenever I install some driver it seems to be installed right but nothing changes, even in Device Manager it is always shown as "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"..In XP when I intall the driver, it automatically changes in Device Manager but now, nothing changes, nothing.
Whenever I try to install the video driver for the dell latitude e6400 off their site, i get "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." I have just reinstalled windows, this laptop is 4-5 years old and still works though.
When i start my Dell Laptop Latitude E6510 i get no screen. When i connect an external screen i can see the system did start and i waitong for me to logon. While i am starting i also do not see the bios startup on the screen.
I have Dell Latitude D420, Windows 7 Professional was installed few days ago. Since, sometimes, the wireless connection would turn out to be very slow; most of time is normal though. The wireless card is Dell 1490 dual band WLAN mini card. I tried to find a driver to be compatible with Windows 7, but, can't find it. Any suggestion?
