Bought a Dell D600 off of someone, but they no longer had the restore discs that Dell had sent them with the laptop - came with a formatted HDD.
I bought winxp pro and installed it, but it came up with a bunch of devices that I still needed to get drivers for from Dell. I believe I got them all but 1.
Ethernet Controller it says, but for some reason I'm having a hard time finding that exact driver on their site. I've listed the specs for the laptop below for anyone that can help.
The wireless nic now says its connected, but I can't get out to the web or ping any LAN IP - guessing its cause of the ethernet controller, but not sure. Could also be that the wireless nic isn't turned on, but I don't see any option for that on the laptop (like a button). Any help would be appreciated.
I installed an ATI radeon 8900 driver that was listed, but GOOD GOD is the resolution SUPPER SMALL now! Lowering it gives me an error that says something like: You've chosen a resolution lower then 1400x1680, etc, etc.
Thats pretty high res for only a 15" screen, haha.
