Question

Hi

Just had to do a complete reinstall of XP

Everything went great except I don't have the icons that pop up and indicate when switching between the laptop display and the external monitor. It isn't much its just a bit annoying. I assume I am missing a driver, can't find it though. Ideas?

I haven't had this problem before.

Dell E1705

T7200 @ 2.00 GHz

2.00 Gig RAM

NVIDIA 7900 GS

You need to install Dell QuickSet which can be downloaded from here.

Yep, did that already. Everything else works fine (Battery display, standby...etc). Maybe I will try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I have a corrupted .Dll in the video driver (dialogue pops up on startup) which I haven't gotten around to sorting out maybe that will help.

The user had to do a complete reinstall of XP and now they are missing the icons that indicate switching between the laptop display and the external monitor. They suspect a missing driver but can't find it. The user provides their laptop model and specifications. The suggested answer asks if they installed the Notebook System Software and the Chipset driver before the video driver.

The user recently did a complete reinstall of XP on their Dell E1705 laptop. However, they are missing the icons that indicate when switching between the laptop display and the external monitor. They suspect a missing driver but can't find it. Another user suggests that they may have installed the other drivers before the NVIDIA driver, which could be the cause of the issue.
