700M - Missing Video (VGA Compatible) Driver

I got my 700m with XP Home about two weeks ago, and after formatting it with the XP CD that came from Dell and seeing that none of the drivers were included, I decided to install XP Pro on it. Now I'm still missing a ton of drivers after downloading all the available ones on dell.com. The Intel Extreme Graphics 855 GM Driver doesn't work - when I try to install it, it asks me for "Floppy Disk 1" - No idea what floppy they're talking about since the Inspiron 700m didn't even come with a floppy drive. After installing all the display drivers (since I didn't know exactly which monitor type came with the Inspiron 700m), it still doesn't recognize my monitor. Please help. :-/

    The drivers on the Dell site have worked fine for me, but you may want to try the ones on the Intel site:

    As far as the monitor drivers NO notebook need these. What you have installed are for a EXTERNAL monitor.
