Hardware manager disapearing from Sys tray
I just recently reinstalled XP SP2 due to the AGP440.sys problem. Everything works good now except the Hardware manager will disappear and not allow me to stop my usb drive or CD drive to remove it safely from the system. I have to pull the CD out and replace it for the icon to re-appear. Is there a specific Dell driver that I may have missed in my installation?
Thank you,
Ian O'Brien

for all fresh installed systems, you need to install (in order) the dell notebook system software, chipset, video, audio, input, communication, network drivers (lan and wireless). and quickset which is in applications.- kArL dCsE™annies9100

normally it will still work but if you will encounter a problem regarding video and you will end up reinstalling OS again, make sure to follow the first four drivers first. :)- kArL dCsE™annies9100

If I already have my video software installed will it be a problem to install the Chipset drivers?
