Drivers & Downloads
You might be able to find a better driver on the intel site - the above drivers may need to be installed in compatibility mode with wxp if they wont install normally, and unzipped first - this will let them install on W7, as it resolves the OS mismatch.
To install a driver OR program in compatibility mode - right click the setup.exe file - click properties - click compatibility - check run in compatibility with vista/
xp etc - check run as administrator - leave the rest blank. Start setup.exe and install.
This is the install instructions from the site you may need to follow this (its for one of the drivers) :
1.Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled R86399.EXE.
2.The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or
unzip to C:\DELL\DRIVERS\r86399. Write down this path so the executable (I.e.
Setup.exe) file can be found later.
3.The Self-Extractor window appears.
4.Click OK.
5.After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor
window is still open, close it.
6.Click the Start button and then click Run.
7.Type C:\DELL\DRIVERS\r86399 in the Open textbox and then click OK.
8.Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
*If you can locate the info file in the folders you unzip you could update it thru device manager - find the graphics device - expand it - right click - select update driver, and then browse computer and find the folder with the info file in it.

There are a couple there on the dell site, and the intel site (14.10.3 - it could be the best bet) not sure which is yours, but if you still need another driver get the name of the graphics chip and type it into the address bar in your browser, and add driver on the end and bing it (search) and see what comes up - post back the name in any case - I or someone might have a better idea of what to do with the search results - you should be able to find it in device manager. Dont worry you might be lucky with those xp drivers if they install, as a lot of people are reporting success with xp drivers.
