Drivers for Dim 3000
Just got my shipment of 4 Dim 3000 PC's in and there is no resource CD included with any of them. No video,LAn,USB, NOTHING.
I went to the support site and looked up my machine by the tag number and the site does not list ANY drivers for my systems.
Why ship a machine without providing the customer the proper drivers for the hardware?
Where can i get the proper drivers at? I am installing Win98SE on 2 of the machines for legacy app's that will not run under XP/2k and these machines are useless without the drivers.

* Correct. All Windows XP drivers can be found by running Start- All Programs- Dell Accessories-Driver Reset Tool.

* It does for Windows XP, but not for Windows 98SE. This is by design. Dell never intended for these systems to run Windows 98SE.

* See Driver Reset Tool above

* You can attempt to load the retail Intel 865G drivers. We haven't tested them in the Dimension 3000.
