No. Nothing wrong with Dells site but I use driver packs.
I know my personal information above says Dell. I have 5 dells in the house.. 2 compaqs 2 IBMs and 1generic.
The pc that 7 is on is an IBM. It refused to play a dvd saying the video driver need to be updated.
Not yet to familiar with 7
Did as BurrWalnut advised....loaded driver pack...let it do its thing... All is well.
Driver packs auto load...search for missing drivers and automatically install them from its own cd.......pretty much a no brainer and and saves from having to search all over the Internet...
Hope to get more familiar with 7 as the I think I will be loading more computers with it in the future.
Thank you all,
W.L.
