    Hey, 1 quick question:

    I just reformatted my 6000D. Are ALL the drivers that I need available at Dell.com -> Drivers & Downloads?

    The reason I ask is because I installed all the drivers posted on the Dell website that seemt to be relevant, yet my system tells me that the processor, harddrive, and disk drive are using Microsoft drivers (ugh). Am I missing something?

    Go into the Device manager in my computer>properties> hardware, then if there are any question marks by any of the drivers, there not installed. Then go to dells site and get the ones you need.

    No question marks... but when I right click on

    Intel(R) Pentium(R) M Processor 1.60GHz

    and view properties, then click on the Driver tab it says "Driver Provider: Microsoft"

    Is this normal? I would think that it should say Intel.

    Well if everything is running well, everything is fine. But if your curious, just download its driver from the intel or dells site.
