    I formatted the hard drive on a Dell GX110 computer. Got everything pretty well ready to go except The Display Adaptor drivers. Needless to say I don`t have a recovery disk. A Google search led me to Ebay and a "resource" disk. The seller says it has the Dell device drivers. Assuming the onboard video is OK will that disk give me the ability to upgrade the video driver?
    I`ve tried a couple of PCI Cards But I guess until I disable the onboard video I can`t install them.
    Am I going at this all bass ackward?
    The CD is only $6.00 plus frieght so I guess I could just order it. Thought it would be easier to check the guru`s first.

    Can you not download the drivers you require from the Dell site?

    PeteC,
    Of course I can download it from Dell! Why in the H I didn`t think of that I don`t know. I sometimes wonder if it`s senility or stupidity that sends me off on chasing things down the hard way.
    I downloaded a 7 MB file and it just worked like a charm.
    A humble thank you.:rolleyes:

    Think it's referred to as a 'senior moment' - I know the feeling - well :D
