Subject:   Case #87313192 Video Controller Device Driver Failing

Dear Frank,

Thanks for your letter today, December 17, submitted a link to a Dell web page with instructions on installing a device driver for our Dell Optiplex GX280.
..
Installation was not successful.
..
I called Dell. The support staff gave instructions to download and install an ATI driver; and, this failed, similar to experience on December 13.
..
Staff then recommended removing the display adapter device drivers which were installed successfully on December 13. Dell, also, requested the model number of the video card. After researching this matter, the staff decided not to proceed, but to write a letter to you requesting follow up. I have not received a copy of the letter, so this confirms understandings.
..
Please call when time permits. The basic problem may be that the updated driver referenced in your letter on December 15 evidently does not install correctly.

Sincerely,



Rod Welch

Could not get an email address to confirm understandings with Dell staff who worked the problem today, on December 17. By copy notifying Sevy that her work on December 13 was successful, and am pleased to commend her initiative, persistance, and professionalism.
