Can't find Intel Updates for Dimension 3000

I have been to the downloads page, and installed what was shown and in the order it was shown.

 

It still keeps coming up that those Intel items are needing updated.

 

Thanks for your help though.

Can i ask what driver detective is?

 

All of those are more than likely more upto date versions of the drivers. If you installed the Dell drivers they should all be installed. 

The only other suggeston I have would be to check the Intel site.

Driver listing page for your system

Dimension 3000 Drivers

 

Proper method of installing driver after Os reinstall

Driver Detective is a program that checks to see if your system has any outdated drivers.

 

And yes, the drivers are in the system; but they are out-of-date.

 

And I try to always keep my system as up as I can.

My apologies for 'cutting' but I wanted to see the driver list in the original post when I posted this.  Note that the drivers below are *not* approved by Dell.  Installing the chipset and storage drivers may cause *serious issues* (especially if the ones I linked to are not the correct ones -- I did my best). 

 

I recommend a *full backup* or at least creating a restore point.  I don't mean to scare you (I install the real Intel drivers all the time), but there are risks involved with these two (chipset and storage) that are pontentially system-wide.  The fact that you have "no clue" where to find these leads me to think that there is no reason you should be installing the files below.  You have been warned.

 

Network drivers can be found here.  Ideally you should extract the '100' driver folder from the download with a program like 7zip or winrar and upgrade the driver manually with device manager.  If you run the package directly, it *may* install proset software as well (which offers more functionality but is likely unneeded for your uses):  http://downloadcenter.intel.com/T8Clearance.aspx?sType=&agr=&ProductID=879&DwnldID=4275&url=/4275/a08/PRO2KXP.exe&PrdMap=&strOSs=&OSFullName=&lang=eng 

 

Your computer is listed as having a Intel 865 GV chipset.  You can see all relevant downloads by pulling up that chipset in Intel's Download Center.  Updated chipset software can be found here:

The storage controllers intel offers for that chipset are listed as RAID only (linked below).  This means that Ultra ATA drivers are provided via windows.  Personally, I would not recommend trying this file (though I doubt it will install anyway):  http://downloadcenter.intel.com/T8Clearance.aspx?url=/15551/eng/iata55_enu.exe&agr=N&ProductID=1049&DwnldID=15551&lang=eng

 

Intel also has updates for integrated video -- you don't say whether you're using this or not.

 

I hope my help won't end up causing you pain -- but you did ask.

 

Thank you, Helme.  That worked.  I greatly appreciate all your help. :womanwink:
