Hi all, i have a Dell Dimension 2350 that i am trying to sort out for a friend.
I have just spent 3 hours trying to find some XP drivers for it that will actually work!
I have tried dell.com and dell uk and havent found a single driver for this pc that will actually extract.
The self extraction process fails as it asks for floppy disks (even tho the files came from the net) and winzip and winrar are both unable to open them and say they are corrupted (i dl'd them all 3 times).
Anyone got any ideas?

Well there is the list of drivers for that computer. Tell us what ones you need and I will try downloading them and see if it works on my end.

Thanx mates but i managed to figure out the problem.
A few days ago I wanted to dl aquamark3d in order to benchmark the pc's i have been working on recently, it was available as a torrent so i dl'd bitcomet.
It seems that the downloads from Dell don't like bitcomet. I uninstalled bitcomet, dl'd the drivers again and they worked fine, very weird and one for the memory banks.

That`s great news and thanks for letting us know mate.
I must say, the bitcomet thing is strange indeed.

Ain't it just. Not sure if it's a problem with bitcomet or Dell, aquamark works fine!!
