I found this post while searching for wifi drivers for the D600. So maybe someone else will get help from it too.

I was able to get it working by downloading "wireless_7.1.4.7_generic_125891" from Intel's site. The installation wouldn't work by running it but when I went into devmgmt.msc, found the wireless NIC, and used the driver update wizard from that, it worked.

The display driver is the issue with the D600, not the wifi driver.

Thanks for the link, but i tried that ages ago. The display driver from dell doesnt work with windows 7, the max resolution you get is 800x600 (1024x768 would be ok, but i prefer the native of 1280x1024)

I am running Win7 on D600 with 1400x1050 resolution using Generic Std VGA adapter just fine...
Straight default installation from DVD as well.:confused:

Only device driver issue was the Sigma Tel C-major sound card driver.

Grab the XP driver from Dell (r90698), unpack it to a default drive, then "Update Driver..." from Device Mngr to point to the unpacked folder.
Works like a charm.;)

Cheers,
