Inspiron 1300 - Windows 7 32 Bit
This model and Operating System is not supported by Dell.
Remarks: This system won't run Windows 7 32 bit very well as it is an old model and the cost of a license probably is more than its worth.
It is recommended 2 GB of RAM to be installed. Windows 7 32 bit won't install unless you have at least 1 GB of RAM installed.

I have tested out this system with Windows 7 32 bit and it runs okay despite its age but I haven't tested the HP Video Driver.
Note I don't get comments on my wikies so you are best to either private message me by clicking on my name on the top right or start a new thread in the Microsoft OS Forum.
Always state model of Dell and Operating System including whether it is 32 or 64 bit when posting.
