Dell XPS with Vista

[Twizz]

Hello

I'm trying to restore my Dell XPS as we normally skype our friends abroad every two weeks, but our old computer with windows 7 will not open skype anymore, just a white screen. I have re-installed the dell disk and when i try to install the virgin media disc for broadband it says there is no ethernet card (nic). Is there anywhere I could down load one.

Should be available directly from Dell under their support page if you know the exact model number (should be on the label on the back assuming its not been worn off)

Have you tried Skype in the browser, instead of the app?

I'd go to the Dell website and get new drivers from there. Look up the model for the laptop and there should be a support /driver section


Or as suggested see if you can use Skype via web browser

There was 20 or more years ago

I think you'd be much better off fixing the problem on your W7 PC than reverting to something running Vista.

stick Win10 on it and see if it finds the drivers
