Vostro 200 network driver issues Windows 8

Hi SKoo

'Dell Product Group' team has not tested Vostro 200 with Windows 8. The drivers are not available for this system. You can refer to the link for a compatible system tested by Dell with Windows 8 http://dell.to/RnDAFu

You may try to install the driver in compatibility mode:

• Download the driver from link:  http://dell.to/Xp0Frk
• Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties -- > Compatibility Tab
• Select Windows Vista from the list in the following image:

• Click Apply --> OK
• Right Click the file and select the 'Run As Administrator' to install the driver.

Alternatively, you can try installing the Intel driver update utility that may find the compatible drivers automatically. Please refer to the following link: http://intel.ly/m7tqmV . Download the necessary drivers.

Hope this helps.

Hello Tanvi C,

Thx for your feedback. I had already installed the Intel driver update utility, but to no avail. This weekend I decided to go back to Windows Vista on the Vostro 200. I just couldn't spent more time on this system.

So I am no longer able to test your suggestion to install the driver in compatibility mode.

The link to the Windows 8 compatibility chart is interesting. In my experience the Vostro220 and Latitude 6510 are 100% compatible with Windows 8. 

Regards,

Skoo

Hi Skoo,

Systems shipped with Windows Vista/7 may have the hardware compatibility with Windows 8. However, we may face difficulty in finding the compatible drivers.

Let me know in case you need any further assistance. I would be glad to assist.
