Where the heck can you get them? The reason I'm asking is because I gave them a Civ3 tech support this e-mail (very quick responsep- only 1 day)
Quote:
Searching on Google for updating the Dell Drivers doesn't give me a link to anywhere on Dell's website, something which makes me very suspicious. Could someone help me with this? Or maybe just tell me if it's downloadable to if I have to buy (!) it? Oh, and I have Windows XP, if it helps anyone. [ 06-07-2004, 07:35 PM: Message edited by: Assassin ]

That's odd. I got my computer just this January, and the most recent Dell driver I could find on the net is from 2003. =/ Ah well. Anyways to uninstall it if someting goes wrong?

if something goes wrong, you can roll back the driver using XP that is what I do when I get a faulty driver, no need to worry over a restore point there

Okay. I may be a bit dim about computers, but in order to install a new Monitor Driver, do I need the diskette they used to install the monitor.
Because as it stands, it still says "can't find a better replacement for your software than the one already installed". ADD] Actually, the problem is that the device date is 2001 (!), and it still doesn't accept that anything else might be better than it. =/ Anyone know how to get around that?

before you can update it, you have to have the update, it does not go online to search for somereason, so yeah, you either need the disk, or you need to download a new one, then update it from a specific location, and then to the file that you have it at

Yes, I have the updated files from Dell. Not on a disk, but on the hard drive. Then, I direct the update it to go to where the files are unzipped. But then I get the notice:
There is no better software detected for your hardware than the one currently installed.

ok, you should go to the properties of the hardware, click on update driver, instal from a specific location, do not search, I will chose the drivers to install, have disk, browse, then look for it in the unzipped file, that should work, if not, I am at a loss
