Well... I went to Intel to find the windows 7 drivers but they are only supported back to the 900 series board, I have an 845. I also ran all my updates but didn't get anywhere there either. I found an old ATI R9250 PCI card and put it in. Luckily there were some windows drivers in server 2008 that auto installed. Then i went to ATI's website and downloaded the xp 32 bit setup.exe file for this card and ran it. Luck again, it didn't install but it did extract to a folder. Then I ran the update driver function from the hardware mananger and told it to look in the extracted folder for the drivers. Wal ah! I have some graphics finally. I won't be gaming on this baby for sure but at least I have some resolution settings now. But truth be told I don't think I would be able to find the drivers for this board very easily.

Hi, Have you gone to your computer manufactureres website and downloaded the drivers for your network card & server 2008. When you are running off of another operating system (dual booting) you will need to get drivers again as there wont be any on the new OS. dogdaynoon.

Okay, go ahead and laugh now then read and laugh again. I just wiped XP pro off of a Dell ;) dimension 2400. I upgraded the processor to a pentium 4 and the ram to 2 GB. Added a 250GB HD and a DVD burner. Then I installed windows server 2008 enterprise 32 bit trial edition. Laughter now is acceptable... :) So, I was extremely suprised at how well this is acctually running this OS. My problem herin lies... None of the DELL graphics drivers for this board/chipset support windows server 2008. So I am stuck with the looowww resolution settings. 600-400 blah blah... Any Ideas on how to get a graphics driver installed so i dont have to scroll around on every single window i open. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/SYSTEMS/dim2400/en/sm_en/specs.htm That is a link to the tech specs. It should be the same except for the processor, hd, ram and drives. Thanks in advance. james
