the sigma audio drivers i found on a inspiron page. without them i had

sound except the popular "ding".

my pc has the nvidia 8400m gs graphics card. i found the

website (excelent resource) and used a driver with a modified inf file

fix the slow jumpie screen.

DELL should have had them on the xp driver page.

Do you have a vostro 1700?


I do; you can't purchase it with XP in the UK, it's a brand new model
targetting Vista users.

I think it's to Dell's credit that there are actually any XP drivers
listed at all...........did your Vostro come with Vista and you've
backtracked to XP perchance?

I'd imagine the XP drivers are for the Vostro 1500, which does come with
XP
if you ask.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

bingo. dell should list the xp video and sound drivers for the vostros 1700
on the vostro 1700 xp driver download page but they don't. probably because
of confusion about weather or not they were going to offer it with xp at
all. once the chipset drivers are loaded then the xp drivers for video and
audio can be found on the vostros 1500 or vostros 1400 xp driver download
page.
