The only one that makes me nervous is chipset. the video and sound I would assume are pretty vanilla.

 

so after I get them on a stick, and carry them to the 2350, and stick the CD/Stck drive in, I assume that I can open a folder with the drivers. and then...how do I "Install" them? Usually these things are intuituitive and binary. (Ya either get it or ya don't.)

 

 

Right . . click on the Drivers and Downloads button in the left pane of this page and navigate to your model . . download the drivers for Chipset, Video, Network Adaptor and Sound . .bopy to flash or cd to install on the other pc.

 

Install the Chipset driver first . . then the others in any order

You don't need luck . . ya got us!:smileywink:

Here is the proper order of installation.

if there are some drivers in this list, but not available on the driver section for your model, skip to the next one that is. Look over the available drivers carefully.

OK I see now that they are executable. Wish me luck.

Success.

So far Chipset, Video driver, Then Panda Security, then Network Broadcom 440 10/100 driver.  That machine (as opposed to the one I am on now) is working well.  Gonna transfer the download process directly to that machine.

Now working from the subject machine. Dimension 2350. yet to do includes audio drivers and windows updates.

just to put things in perspective: we have also been painting the front hall way, getting the oldest son reeasdy for the prom, and the youngest one is sick.

 

But now the computer is working and the youngest is well.

That's cool ... success !!!:smileyhappy:

 

That Dimension 2350 was my very first Dell; I learned so much with it being my very first computer...   The pc is still working flawless today too...  A lil' ole workhorse..
