Need help updating drivers

heymikey19 · Dec 22, 2008

I have a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop. I recently had my hard drive crash. I replaced it and my computer is up and running again. everything was normal til i installed World of Warcraft. It says " Failed to find suitable display device" Through research ive narrowed it down that its my video card or drivers that need updated. How do i go about this? I went to dell support and downloaded all the driver updates, it didn't do anything. Any help would be great.

:wave Welcome to Major Geeks! :major
It seems that the Dell Inspiron E1505 was sold with 3 different video configurations. I have no way of knowing which you have without an Everest report. Please use the following the info to attach an Everest report to your next post (do NOT post the report 'in-line')....

Use Everest to get a report of your system’s hardware, OS, and drivers. Upload the report as an attachment
Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4181
When Everest is done scanning, click "Report" at the top of the Everest window, click next to get to "Report Profile", select "Hardware related pages", click next, select "Plain Text", click "Finish". Then when it is done processing, click "Save To File". Save it where you want to. (I would use Desktop.)
Click "Go Advanced" in the MG reply box, scroll down a little way until you see "Manage Attachments", click it, browse to your file, click "Upload", and close the window. Then submit the post. You may have to also type something in the reply box, like, "Here's my report.", so that it will submit.
Click to expand...

Once we have the report, we should have no problems getting your driver issues straightened out.

Oh.... Happy Holidays! :drink

Thanks for posting the report. Click this link for your video driver. Your laptop uses the ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 video chip. Good luck!
