Right, my old Dell c600 laptop had nearly filled the HD with crap so formatted.

Installed windows 2000 and it now is only displaying about half size of screen and colours are fooked. going into display setting and it is only showing 16 colours.

Hardware manager shows no driver for video controller so tried to download appropriate one, this fails saying try installing standard vga driver, but dont know where to finf said driver and if im even doing what needs to be done....



Please please help as i need this laptop working by monday....

 

 

go and find the drivers for the laptop, there will be an all in one pack of drivers some where.


Try here http://support.dell.com/support/down...s=WNT5&osl=EN#

 

go to the dell website search in techinical support etc for drivers its an old machine but i would imagine there available

 

I aint no IT boff but have you checked to make sure the old copy of windows isnt still on there too, thus taking up a lot of your hard drive space?

 

if you can get the laptop online log onto this site http://www.filehippo.com/

then download there free "update checker" top right on there homepage

its scans the pc/laptop for driver updates

 

can get online yeah,so will do filehippo. As far as the dell site, dont know what drivers need to download, shall i just download all of em?

 

try file hippo first before the dell site
