I've recently reformatted a dell dimension 2400. As I try to install AT&T Broadband...it won't....apparently I Have no I.P. or server....I'm lost....network connections folder is empty as are some others...also....the screen resolution is like 640 X 400 or something another..only, it won't let me slide it into any higher position... I'd really appreciate any and all feed back..Thank You in advance.

When you reformatted this Dimension 2400, what operating system did you install onto it?

After you installed [i]whatever[/i] OS onto it, you should have had another CD as well. It would be called 'Drivers Disc' and would contain all the Chipset Drivers for your DELL. This would include all the bits of the system that are currently missing including your Graphics capability and your Networking / Internet capabilities too. Until you run this Drivers Disc your system will continue to misbehave. ;)

Sounds like you need to reinstall you drivers, at least for the network card and video, and probably some others as well. Check the device manager (right-click on My Computer, manage, then go down to devices) and look for the yellow exclamation points. Those devices need drivers.

Do you have it? Run it! It will tell you what drivers you need and install them for you.
