Dec 01, 2014 Go to the official Dell site, then go to drivers download. Choose Optiplex Gx280 and audio as the driver type. Choose XP as the OPERATING SYSTEM and download the driver - it is titled R105155.exe (be sure you get the right one). Mcdonalds scan your toy app.

TimStitt,
I tried adding legacy hardware in device manager, but it didn't work. I also tried the 'troubleshoot compatibility' option, also without success. Your second suggestion looks promising, but I doubt that the Vista driver ever even made it into the file repository. When I downloaded the driver from the internet it was a .exe file. I assume the function of running the executable is to unpack the driver's system files to FileRepository? When I open the executable in Windows 7, it doesn't get to finish its 'gyrations' before it is interrupted with the 'Installation failed' error message. I checked the file repository anyway, but it didn't have any drivers that have been modified more recently than yesterday (I've just been trying to fix the audio since this morning). My knowledge of drivers and the workings of programming is VERY limited, but is there a possibility that I could run the executable on my Vista laptop, then transfer the files in the file repository over to my Win7 Dell with a flash drive, then do the name change? Could that potentially do irreversible damage to my Vista laptop? As for the sound card idea, I've got plenty of slots left and I wouldn't be adverse to installing one internally or externally. But would I still have the same problems of compatibility between my Dell and Win7? I'm willing to try pretty much anything except application of solder. I don't have any personal files on that computer yet, and I can always re-install Win7 if something goes horribly wrong. Thanks again for your help! ![]() Dell Optiplex Gx280 SpecificationsComments are closed.
