Oh i am sure they do.. but, for example, if it's the NIC driver you need and you are connecting via ethernet, might find yourself snookered.

Ok if you do decide to reformat Mitzs, make sure you have *all* the necessary software ie OS and chipset drivers before blowing away the default install.

I'm not gonna mess with it like that blue. I have seen what does arise when you try to work on with out the disks. I'll just have to get them later from Dell. If something should happen before that I'll ship it back since it has a year warranty on it. I just plan to use it for surfing and my Dreamweaver cs3.

DHL says it is in nashville so hopefully it will be here Monday!

 

Yay, you must be chomping at the bit to get your little mitts on it Mitzs

 

The workaround that i have found with these issues is to use Driver Genius Professional . Run the app, save all drivers installed on the machine, save data to usb / network share, format and install xp and where there were missing drivers, made a note of them, and installed this drivers app and selected the drivers that were missing.

The app can save the drivers as a installer, zip file and more...

Hope that helps

 

Yep... but that's with any PC, not just a Dell laptop. ;)

 

I'm surprised you don't have me bangin' on their loading dock doors on your behalf.

 

You've been waiting a while to use that line haven't you?

 

I never thought of that...

Quick man! Stop typing and high tail it down there!

 

Thank you MC. Have saved it to fav, to take a close look at it later.

 

You shoulda asked before I drove aaaaaall the way home to Spring Hill. Now I gotta drive aaaaaaaall the way back up to Nashville... sheesh, woman!

 

XP home on a business machine??........ Hope your not wanting to join a domain, if I remember rightly thats the main/only difference between Home and Pro versions.
