Hi people, I recently bought a new system from dell, I had windows vista home premium on it, but I liked the Dreamsense so I went to buy windows Vista Ultimate and install on it. So I lost all the drivers for graphic cards, sound card...etc. Dell did not send me a cd for graphic card so i had to download it online. I downloaded it, and it would not let me install the driver+ softwares because it says I have to log on as an administrator to install it. But my account in windows is the one and only account, and it is an administrator.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem? I have contacted dell tech support but they kept pushing me back and forth with those phone numbers and came out they couldnt help me because my "service tag is flagged"?!? I just ordered the system on May 20 and received it 2 days ago.

If you had vista when it first came out it sent alot of people updates in the vista mailbox it as shown over 200 updates since the first day it came out so you are going to have to wait until they come around again dell may also send you drivers through vista mailbox.

Click START button, RUN / Type in MSCONFIG
The last tab on the right, cant remember what its call as I dont use Vista , scroll down the list, theres an option to DISABLE UAC, once done, restart Vista and try installing your drivers again, remember to turn UAC back on, its the next option under the disable one to give you proper protection.

the video adapter cant start up with the aid of fact Vista maximum properly suited motive force isn't properly suited. For that and different drivers you will could desire to bypass to Sony website and acquire the mandatory drivers. Then burn them off to CD and you will have them for destiny use.
