Dellbert Tech Support
I have a new camera bag arriving tomorrow. It has a spot for a notebook. I am going to pack my Dellbert notebook with me when I am away from home and office. (I have an excellent, wide-screen HP notebook at home.) The Dellbert has been loitering about the office without direction.
I put Windows 7 Professional on it yesterday. None of the devices installed. I checked Dellbert tech support, and boldly I was told that the notebook was completely incompatible with Windows 7. The site showed it was incompatible with Vista also. Since I have been running Vista on it without issue, I knew this to be a fallacy.
I downloaded the Windows XP 3Com LAN drivers and installed them without issue. Windows 7 then took control without any intervention on my part and downloaded and installed the wireless drivers, other network drivers, sound drivers, multimedia display drivers, and a host of others automatically.
Obviously, Dellbert tech support is in dire need of tech support!
(NOTE: If you need ask why I call Dell "Dellbert," you will not find this article of interest.)
