    I bought a Dell Inspiron 1420 on ebay, It came with windows 7. I called dell to ask how to update the driver, and they said the Inspiron 1420 was not made for windows 7 and there was no way to update the drivers. I thought I would ask here, and see if anyone could help me?

    Use Vista drivers. Or just run Windows Update. Windows 7 should provide almost all of the 1420 drivers by default anyway.

    Yup you can use the appropriate bit drivers from Vista as the driver model is near identical. Or if you go to Device Manager and search the internet for the updated driver.
