put finger to keyboard and composed:

I did that but only found drivers for the touchpad and something else
unrelated. Is there a place at dell.com that will have all drivers for
a machine that old?

BTW, installing the touchpad drivers did upgrade the touchpad from a
vanilla flavored mouse, so that does suggest that whoever loaded XP,
didn't have the Dell drivers.


All I found was this:

Right, that's all I found.

Is it possible that Win XP already includes the appropriate sound and
display drivers? For example, do you see a "Trident Cyberblade Cbi1"
video card in DM?


Don't know. The Trident does show up.
