Require driver for video controller on DELL 280 win 7 pro

[wilfj]

DELL 280 running win 7 pro cannot find the driver for the video controller, they say Dell did not issue one for Windows 7. Does any one have the driver as video's just crash. Thanks

What's in it for Video? Is it onboard or a dedicated card? Once you know what it is, Intel, NVidia, or AMD, and what model, you go to the manufacturers web site and look for a driver.

Should find it HERE: tinyurl.com/p6nfjz8

Copy the link and paste into your search bar.

Dell marketed many Pcs with 280 in the name and as far as I know all were XP machines so there likely is no w7 drivers for them.
Follow alphanumeric's suggestions.

I get this from the tinyurl,

Dell 280 - Dell - Search - Home & Home Office

Maybe you can post the hardware ID's of said controller, accessed through device manager, properties.

Difference from what?!? The video card is the video controller, you've been given links twice for the drivers for it.

You act like you are paying for help, maybe just calm down and enhance your replies with some useful information.

I believe the controller card is your onboard graphics, video card would be the dedicated card you spoke of earlier.

Since the specs you have listed in your profile relate to an HP, maybe you can update them or at least enlighten us with more specs about the Dell being referred to in this thread.

I'm really sorry for over reacting.. it's a Dell not a HP I solved the video problem with out using the controller card. I downloaded VLC player and movie videos working great.

Thanks again and VLC must be using different files the windows Player.

Again, I regret for my comments.

No worries, glad you found a resolution.

Yes it's all working fine and thanks to the fellows that helped out . The shorts are I had to reload WIN 7 Home, rather then run WIN7 PRO . Why Pro screwed up I'll never know but HOme works just fine with all my audio and videos opening and no crashing. Thanks again.
