GF7900.
My BIOS version is A09, DXG051.
I spent two days with Dell trying to figure out an install problem
which started because of a vista business upgrade. Vista installed
fine, but I could not connect to any Microsoft update sites, or Dell
sites. I could not connect to live messenger either. Also, I was
getting allot of file save errors on my company network, especially in
excel. I notice allot of temp files were created where I was trying to
save the files. I figured the install must have gone wrong.
I figured I would try a cleaner install of the vista update. So did a
clean install of XP Pro, and on reinstallation of XP, I would get to
all the way though the installation, and on first boot, blue screen of
death. Error 0X0000007B.
Well I called dell, and after several more attempts with same
installation, the representative figured out that I needed a drive
controller installed at the F6 prompt in the XP install. That fixed
the reinstallation of XP issue.
So I reinstalled VISTA, and guess what? SAME PROBLEM. Network issues.
The Dell representative even told me that I may have problems with
Vista, because the Nvidia chipset in Dell XPS 600 's are NOT
compatible with VISTA.
I am hoping that someone has an answer for me.
