#DELL D600 DRIVER INSTALL#

I also set the screen resolution higher at this point. And before I could activate Windows 7 I had to reset the system date and time - I got a weird error with an unhelpful message.

#DELL D600 DRIVER INSTALL#

Luckily Windows 7 installation had installed a driver for a wired network connection so I plugged in and went to Windows Update, hoping that Update would install some or all of the missing drivers.Д«efore getting updates I had to manually activate Windows 7 from the Control Panel | Security | System page.

I had the original drivers on a Resource CD from Dell but those would not install on Windows 7. It looked like I was missing an audio driver (no sound), a video driver (no hardware acceleration enabled), and the wireless network driver (no connection). Setup continued and I followed the wizard to give the machine a name, set up a user account name and password, enter the product key, and set the time. I clicked on the tiny вЂњDriver Options (advanced)вЂќ to format the single C: drive. I selected a custom install rather than the upgrade option - I wanted a completely clean machine. The install process started up without any issues. I had to do an F2 to modify the boot sequence so that the machine would read from the CD/DVD drive first. I popped the Windows 7 install DVD into the CD/DVD drive and turned the laptop on. They were nice laptops and came with Windows XP but I decided to see if I could do a clean install of Windows 7.

I had a couple of old (circa 2004 I think) Dell D600 laptops.
