VGA DRIVER

[Bakynson]

Hello!!! to you all, my name is Bakynson. I have a old Dell laptop "Latitude D400. The hard disk crashed and after a new HD is installed, I was not able to get some drivers but after sometime asking a lot of people, I was able to get all except the VGA driver. Can someone please help me out?

The vga driver is built into Windows. Did you download and install all appropriate drivers from the Dell Support Site? Look in Device Manager - are there any yellow or red symbols?

[Bakynson]

Yes Allan, thanks for replying, I can see a yellow sign by the video controller. Pls what do I do next?

Travel to the Dell site...
Enter the Service Tag # off the rear of the machine...
Select your Windows OS and all your drivers will be listed.
DLoad and install the video drivers.

Hi Patio, I'm on it trying to download some updates for my win7, system somehow slow, at 60% now. I'll definitely get back to you if it works or not, thanks a billion.

BTW, for future reference there is a BIG difference between "vga driver" and "display adapter driver". You wanted the latter (also known as video card driver).♦♠

Thanks Allan, what do I do if what I wanted is the "display adapter driver" Pls give step by step details.

Follow Patio's advice - download it from the Dell Support site and install it.
