Re: Identify unknown PCI devices

When you received your Dell, you probably received an OEM Dell Windows XP Operating System
CD, and you ALSO probably received a Dell Drivers and Utilities CD which has the drivers
you need. If you did not upgrade at the time of purchase, you probably do not have a
display adapter card, but instead have an Intel graphics controller integrated on your
motherboard, whose drivers would be on that Dell Utilities and Drivers CD. Insert that
CD, and it should autoplay to a screen which will allow you to select what you need.
