Reinstalling Drivers for GeForce 5200
Hi, I reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop and I'm having problems with the video adapter. I'm not sure if my procedure's correct, but I used the Dell driver cd to install the drivers. Under device manager, I get the error question mark and it does not recognize my video card. I cannot switch the screen to native resolution because of it and there is no nvidia software as I had before. Thanks for any help.
- Download the latest Dell version drivers from the support site, and install them. After the system reboots, if it still doesn't recognize the 5200, remove the video card entry from the "device manager", and reboot again. When the system restarts, it should recognize the 5200 and install itself. If after that it still doesn't see the video card as a 5200, I wouldn't know what to do.

Thanks for the advice darrin99, I downloaded the latest drivers from dell and unzipped the files and ran setup.exe. My system now reads the nvidia card in my laptop.
You're welcome. Glad it worked....Message Edited by darrin99 on 07-15-2004 06:24 AM
- Yep, worked for me as well. I remembered I had this problem the last time I reinstalled Windows XP and the only way to solve it was downloading through the website. I purchases the Inspiron 8600 when it first came out--I wonder if the drivers on the cd have since been updated to prevent this problem.
