ok i have a inspiron 1100 notebook that i am helping my friend fix...I put a brand new version of windows on the laptop and now everything is screwed up. For one the monitor is only showing a very small version of what it should be and the CD drive isnt working right...I know it's because i dont have any of the proper drivers but the thing is i have no discs for the hardware and i cant connect to the internet and download them because the driver for the ethernet isnt working either... i tried making a disc from another computer with drivers but the laptop just wont read the disc. is there anything i can do to fix this?
 
How did you manage to install windows without using the cd drive? You can download the drivers for it from the dell web site and put on a usb flash drive and then install from there. You might have to contact Dell for a new cd drive.
 
Monitor - Increase resolution...

CD drive - should still work. Windows has generic drivers...

Ethernet - unless its an newer type, Windows stocks them too

(taking about Windows XP Pro )
 
1. Please dont double post... (quadruple post in this case)

2. Thats because you dont have the video card drivers... What OS did you put on there?
