I have back-graded my new Dell A860 to XP (it came with Vista) and need to locate a driver package for audio, etc. My keyboard, mouse, and DVD drive seem to work fine, but I have no audio output for my Power DVD app. I also get an error message when I try to use my WMP. Most other functions seem fine, but I have only typed a few documents in Word and stored images from my flash drive.I have tried installing the driver & utility disc from my XP package, but get an error message saying the install failed. I assume that I need drivers, but perhaps someone with more experience would be aware of other problems I am missing. I am quite the neophyte regarding this sort of thing.
I have a Dell Vostro 200 that came with Vista. I am trying to install XP on it. It starts going through the setup routine and then tells me it can't locate the hard drive. I know when XP came out sometimes you had to install the SATA during the install, but I haven't had to do that in ages. Is there a setting in the bios or something.
i did a clean install for a dell desktop 2400 and i'm having trouble finding the drivers i need. I went to dell.com and the ones i have dl havent fixed the problem. Is there a site that can diagnose and install drivers that are missing for free?
Running Windows XP on a one year old Vostro 220. Problem seems to have started after I replaced McAffee with Norton 360 per Comcast's changeover. I have since uninstalled Norton but the problem persists. Ran PSA which showed no hardware or memory problems. I believe Norton must have changed some of the registry values. I am running Norton on my laptop with Windows 7 but that is not a problem.
where can i download dell inspiron b120 laptop device drivers? the devices not working are: audio, ehternet controller, modem device, video controller and vga compatible.
I have a Dell Dimension 5150, i've just done a re-install of XP as I was sick of it playing up - something was wrong but I couldn't figure it out. Anyway, Now I can't get anything to work cause I have no drivers, I mainly need the ethernet driver. Dell's website has NOTHING on it, there is only 1 download for this machine and it is for some stupid dell application. No drivers. I've looked all over the net

I purchased a SIIG PCI firmware adapter. It has no drivers and says that it will use Win XP drivers. Well I installed the board and booted the pc, Win XP recognized the hardware but could not find any drivers. I tried unplugging it manually, installing it in another card slot with no luck. I took it back to my pc dealer and he plugged it in his system and had no problems. I decide to try another brand, an IO Gear GIC1394.
A friends HP Media Center PC m7077c crashed. Had no recover disk, etc. Installed XP Pro SP2 and I need drivers (according to Device Manager). No sound is obvious but video controller is not. Video seems okay. Where do I find drivers for this machine. XP Pro, Home and MCE are different OS's ... as far as my experience. The drivers are not the same.
Whenever i install drivers on my pc, (i've tried graphics card drivers and wireless network card drivers) my pc stops working. When i installed the graphics card drivers, i tried testing the graphics on a game (counter-strike) but as soon as i got into the game, the pc flashes a blue screen, and reboots. I cant see what the blue screen says because it flashes on and off again to quick for me to read it. I decided to uninstall the graphics card drivers, and the game worked perfectly, but the graphics were REALLY bad. So i thought i might need to update some other drivers, so i tried to install my wireless network card, but when i finished installing the drivers when i had to restart my computer, it flashed the BSOD.... AGAIN! I need help urgently as im going to a LAN gaming comp called "rezidue" and its on in 2 weeks, i need my pc fixed by then! All these problems started when i upgraded my CPU. Everything was running smooth, and i was happily playing along on my computer, when i was asked what my FPS was in counter-strike, and i was all "mine are 65!" and there like "wow that sucks, mines 130" so i set out on my epic quest to get better FPS then everyone else and MAN THAT WAS A MISTAKE. I upgraded from my celeron 2.8ghz cpu to a P4 3.0ghz HT cpu, and thats when things started messing up on me. My entire system is as follows (incase it can help someone help me) P4 3.0ghz HT CPU, Microstar P4 motherboard, 128mb Nvidia Geforce mx4000 AGP x8 graphics card, 256MB ddr ram (recently brought new 1GB ddr ram off ebay just for rezidue! should be here soon!) TP-LINK 54mbps wireless network card) And last but not least
a friend has a Dell Dimension 4550 (P4-2Ghz, 60Gb HDD, 784mb RAM- added 512mb and a NEC DVD+/-R, circa 2002 I think?) and needs to do a clean install. He has the CD that came with it. We looked all over google and the Dell site and can't seem to find out how to do a clean install. We pressed F12 and tried to boot from the CD-ROM and thought it was going to work, but it said that we were trying to install XP on a partition that already had XP on it. I saw no option for full/clean restore.
I got a friends personal computer it is a dell demension 2400 it won't do anything except go to the screen with big dell letters on it.I have a soyo techaid card it came up with a code number 35 which could be initialize alternate chipset registers or is it what dell says there code 35 is cmos shutdown test in progress or bad.
I just recieved an IBM laptop while downloading some software, it was suggested by the site that I should download all the updated drivers. I am very wary of this advice because I don't want to fix something that doesn't seem to be broken, but at the same time, I would like to be up-to-date. I am running XP Pro, how I should proceed? And where I might safely download such drivers?
Is there anybody who can tell how I can add a driver so that windows Xp recognize this and does a unattended installation of the hardware device (a example is a USB mouse) But the Windows XP is alreay installed so, I am not really looking for a sysprep solution?
Transferred all information from Dimension (Dell) to Dell XPS 410. Both computers using XP program. When I start to use my Picasa program I have a continual pop up that says " The DLL "cpuinf32.dll" can not be loaded. OS reports: The specifdied module could not be fouind. Am no computeer whiz--so this is all "Greek" to me. What should I do to correct this?
I recently reformatted my computer, after it went FUBAR on me, and now I am having some glitchy scrolls whenever I scroll down web pages, and I have no sound, it's the same thing that happened the last time I reformatted it, and it was like 5 months ago, so I can't remember the damned names of the drivers. Any help? I have windows xp home edition, and my graphics card is an ATI.. I remember something on the lines of CCC Catalyst Control Center.
I accidently uninstalled the drivers for my Sony CD-RW CRX160E and Samsung CD-ROm SC-148C players. I have tried to roll back the drivers but there was no backup. Since my Windows XP was installed by my work and I no longer work for that company I am a bit stuck as to what to do.

I am currently trying to hook up my dell latitude cpx to my tv to use it as my monitor. It has an S-Video out port, and my tv has RCA ports only, so i purchased a cable which is s-video to an rca connector for my video in. Well when I boot up my laptop, when i get to the welcome screen in xp, it starts to display on my tv, but then about 5 to 10 seconds after that it flickers and the picture goes away.Ive tried everything in the display settings and also enabled everything in my BOIS, with no luck.
a very old blac/white and a lesser old color both parallel work well w/IBM notebooks.The new Dell only has USB and the black/white works,the color 820Cse would only print Internet documents but none that I type in Word or Wordperfect. Why print one kind but not what I am typing?
Our Dell XPS has been freezing up. You have maybe 10 good minutes before it happens - it doesn't seem to matter what you were doing - we have been using firefox, or IE, or any number of other non-web browser programs when it happens. It will suddenly freeze up and there is nothing you can do but shut it down by pressing the power button.The only thing different that we did recently was download and install the latest Norton 360. After that the freezing up started, but in all honesty, it was seeming a little sluggish before that.
I've done a Compaq backup system restore; it backs up the majority of the system/other files including My Documents and such. I know the drivers from before are somewhere. Where are drivers normally placed? I'm under Windows XP.
I install a windows xp professional on my dell dimension 5150 desktop(service tag=2gxb62j). after that the network is not working. i went to www.dell.com to see if i can download the drivers and install, but i am having difficulty downloading it. can someone give me a link to get these drivers for my computer?
