Post by: wing seeker on January 27, 2010, 05:38:25 PM

I need to help reinstalling a VGA Card from Dell.............I got my
service tag number and pull it up with no problem and download
the Dell Driver..........

once the download goes through what do you do next.........is it just
over then?????

in other words, I download the Video Driver and then what do I do?

If you click on the driver directly below "File Title(s)" (ex. intel-driver) , the next page will have "Installation Instructions" . If you still need help post back with your Service Tag number and I will help you look up the instructions.

I have the files in my computer but when I try and run them
it asks for Adminstrator or Owner.......I use my normal
password and it doesnt work......do I need to try and run these
to actually have them installed???
