• Need Driver for Windows 7 on a Dell Dimension 4600 w / integrated video

  I was looking for a video driver for Windows 7 with no luck.  The I need for the computer is a Dell Dimension 4600 with integrated video.  When I tried the Dell Web site, they show only a driver for XP, because I'm assuming that it was the only BONE the 4600 can run without its standard equipment.  The RAM has been improved to 1.75 GB, so 7 will run on it without any problem, but the only screen resolution that works is 640 x 480.  I tried to go into the advanced settings, the list of all the screen modes, but when I select a higher resolution, reduce it, maximize, and close buttons go black and parts of the screen are becoming blurred.  I tried two different monitors, so I'm sure I just need a driver.  I can't find one that fits.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!!!

  Call Dell and ask if the driver you need exist. If they tell you
  they did not create, you're out of luck.

  The Dimension 4600 supports up to 4 GB (4 x 1 GB modules) RAM DDR, but can only send 3 gb - + of it due to the 32-bit operating system:

  Also, if you use the 4600 for browsing the internet, the better to replace XP with a system of operating most recent such Win 7.

  You can "downgrade" to win 7 BUT dependent on the Lim, it may void your warranty and there is perhaps no drivers for your computer with windows 7.

  Putting aside the modern splash screen (which you can ignore at startup) win 7 and win 8 are very similar.  If you don't like the modern user interface, you don't need to use it.

• Problem activating Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600, which originally had XP Home

  I have some difficulty to activate MY PERSONALLY PURCHASED VERSION of Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600 workstation that initially provided with XP Home.  I have TWO Codes of 25 character key true = 1 The printed on the sticker on the computer AND the one supplied with the disk I bought for my laptop that was stolen last week.  I entered two key during the windows process codes activate and they the system tells me invalid or incorrect product key code.  I WAS talking with a Microsoft Tech Rep on the phone trying to solve this problem and has been disconnected when put on "Hold" and now cannot get through to a real person again.  CAN SOMEONE ' ONE/SOMEONE' HELP ME PLEASE?

  Hello

  Both your XP, the laptop and the Dell operating systems will have been oem licenses. OEM licenses are tied to the computer that they were originally installed on. In regards to the Pro license you can see in your report where is says Windows license Type: OEM System Builder.

  The only XP version that can be legally charged to your Dimension is one that has been provided with it by Dell, i.e. the XP Home license.

  activation of character for home 25 codes do not work with the Pro, the reverse is also true.

• Dell Dimension 4600 Multi Media controller driver for windows 7

  Anyone know where I can get the driver windows 7 for the multimedia audio controller in a Dell dimension 4600 or at least tell me what I could find because it seems that the sound card is working but there is no driver for the multimedia audio controller so I have no sound, I asked dell and they couldn't help me.  I'd appreciate any help I can get.

  Here are the drivers for Windows 7 (x 32) for his Creative Labs SB0200 card.

  docs.google.com/.../Edit

  (1) extract the files from the link above

  (2) go to the Device Manager

  (3) right click on the sound card with drivers and select update drivers missing

  (4) find the drivers in the folder named "Creative SB Live! Series (WDM).

  (5) given that these were built for XP or 2000, you must ignore the warning messages.

  (6) TADAA!

  One problem is that I can't find the driver for the MIDI port or whatever.

  Not a problem because I don't need it and no other bad noticeable.

  Private message me if you need help.

• Poor resolution on my monitor after installation Wondows - 7 Ultimate in my Dell Dimension 4600

  I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Dell Dimension 4600 af ew days ago.  I remember buying the computer at least 6 years ago.  Now my computer does not recognize that my monitor flat screen default PnP monitor and I have very low resolution.  I have a small publishing company and monitor high resolution is critical for my needs.

  I changed the cable blue from my PC to the monitor and also changed the screen (I have other PC at home).  But the problem remains

  When I went on the Dell site and punch in my Service tag number for my PC, it shows that the PC has only the XP operating system and does not show the new operating system I installed, namely Windows 7 Ultimate.

  Dell people tell me that my PC has a system of factory-installed XP operating and that is why it does not recognize the new operating system.  Is this true?

  I'm about to call "Uncle" and buy a new computer.  I would like to at least get the computer as an emergency response unit.

  Don't I have a solution to my problem?  Change the video card, a solution to my problem?

  Yes, change the graphics card for a new would greatly, but AGP on the cards supported for use with Windows 7 is hard to find these days,

  In addition, there is virtually none of your computer is properly cared for anything other than XP. You'd better put the money towards a new computer...

• Upgrading RAM on Dell Dimension 4600

  I just installed two 512 GB for my Dell Dimension 4600 CPU memory cards.  The computer came with two, 256 GB cards, but he had got terribly slow.  Dell said that no matter if the size of the maps varies.  However, my system does not reflect the installation of additional memory.  It is preferable or essential only for install memory cards additional of the same size as the existing cards?

  You mean 512 MB and 256 MB (not GB) I guess.

  but he had got terribly slow.  Dell said that no matter if the size of the maps varies.  However, my system does not reflect the installation of additional memory.  It is preferable or essential only for install memory cards additional of the same size as the existing cards?

  See the response of Daave, but also to note the following two points:

  1. you started with 512 MB. The amount of RAM you need for good
  performance is not a unique situation for all. You get the right
  performance, if the amount of RAM you have prevents you from using the
  page file significantly, and this depends on what applications you are running. Most
  are people who run a typical range of business under XP applications
  somewhere around 512 MB work well, others need more. Almost
  everyone will see poor performance with less than 256 MB. Some people,
  especially those making things like the large photographic edition
  images, can see a performance gain by adding even more of
  512MB - sometimes much more.

  Unless you have special needs, so it is likely that the 512 MB you
  started with was enough for you.

  2. you say "he had got painfully slow." This implies that the
  performance was OK, but it had worsened. This reinforces that
  I said in point 1 above. You don't need more memory simply because that
  time has elapsed.

  There are several possibilities for why he had obtained more slow, but the
  more likely is that you have been infected by malicious software. What
  anti-virus and anti-spyware programs that you are running? They remain until
  Date?

• Dell Dimension 4600 with pack 1 XP does not connect to the cable modem

  Hello, I have a Dell Dimension 4600 older XP. The hard drive is dead and I replaced and then reloaded pack 1 with the intention of making all the revisions on the internet. The problem is that I cannot now connect to the internet via my broadband router directly connected to the computer. It seems that the wizard to connect only wants to use the dial upward and does not connect to the router. Just recompose. It seems to ignore the connection from the router to broadband and wants to use the dial upward only.

  Go to control panel of control/Internet options/connections, then set it - never establish a connection - then click on apply.
