Hi Filiph Sandström,

Latitude D420 is offered with Windows XP/Vista operating system and accordingly the drivers are updated on our support website. I am afraid the Windows 8 drivers are currently not available for this model.

Follow below steps to install the file in Windows 8 Compatibility mode:

Try installing the drivers in compatibel mode.Below steps would help you installing the drivers in compatible mode:

  1. From the "Start" or "Apps" Screen Right click or press and hold on a single program to check it, and click/tap on Open file location.
  2. Right click or press and hold on a program's shortcut (LNK), EXE, or MSI file on your desktop or in Windows Explorer, and click/tap on Properties.
  3. Click/tap on the Compatibility tab.
  4. To Run a Program in Compatibility Mode in Only your User Account, click/tap on the Run this program in compatibility mode for box to check it.
  5. Click/tap on the drop down menu arrow and select which version of Windows the program was written for.
  6. When finished, click/tab on OK to apply the changes.

Please reply if you have any further questions.
