I am beginning not to myself as well.

Now that I really dont know. I can supply you with this link....and it should show you the exact configuration of this machine....stock. I added more memory though....... Oh well, I cant add the link. It is at dells website. Service tag is cyx4121

Thanks secure....I did. Its an Intel chipset. I dont know what else to do. Can you recommend a prebuilt name brand PC with model number. I think at this point I would rather buy a new one.

NOTHING IS WORKING..... I REALLY AM LOSING SLEEP!!! ANYONE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO RELOAD A DELL DIMENSION 4550 - I AM YOUR MAN!!!!

Thanks cctv down under for the fast reply. I have already tried that. I tried every slot on the machine, each after a fresh XP install just in case i missed a file that was installed from geo and needed to be deleted. I installed more ram as well thinking it was the problem, reloaded xp once again with sp2. I removed evrything pci in the machine. The video is AGP ATI Raedon. The only other PCI device was the soundcard, and I even removed it. I am lost. What is a dell machine that I can buy, that will run without any problems? Do you know of any. Ill just buy a new one. I really like Dell, as they have the best in tech support, etc....., although they dont have a clue how to resolve this. I am open to any suggestions, but with a family of 5, and the way the world is going, I cant really afford a really high end gaming pc. Please let me know if you know of a dell or sonmething similar theat will run out of the box.......I know the card and software is good, as it runs on other machines.....I would rather have a dell......

I am looking for a dell pc that will run the Geovision GV-800 with software version 7.05. I have tried everything I know to make the 4550 work, but it won't. I have seen it work in a low end e-machines as well as a low end Compaq Presario SR1300nx. Please post dell trade name (ex: dimension, inspirion, etc....) and model number (ex: 4550, 9100, etc...) Any help would be very grateful.

They appear beside the geovision drivers. I am now relaoding xp for the 110th time, only this time including service pack 2 and then i will try what you suggested. I never thought to install the directx9 controller first. I will let you know. The thing is when I open the device manager, and then i see the yellow (!) beside the drivers, I can go to the properties and as I said it says to disable other system components so it can have the resource. THen I go down to system components and I see two of the same thing ....I think it was PCI bridge or something....I clicked properties from there and then saw that it was referring to the same pci slot # etc....so i disabled it.....then enabled it.....when I did that the yellow marks beside the geo drivers were gone.....I THOUGHT I HAD IT...EVEN DECIDED TO HAVE A BEER.....but guess what, as soon as I thought it was fixed, the yellow marks came back again......I am at my wits end on this....

Yes it is a real card. I can install it in another system, and it runs perfectly.

I have a dell dimension 4550. Service tag cyx4121 I have a geovision gv-800 card and i tried version 7.05 and 8 I tried to install the geovision software on my computer and it wont work. I go to device manager, and the drivers are there, but there are yellow ! marks beside them. When i click on them and see the properties, it says there is a resource conflict or something of that sort. I removed drivers, re-installed, and still the same thing. I even formatted the HDD and reinstalled XP. Same thing. I have seen other people in this forum run this exact machine, so whats the secret? I know it needs updating a little as far as ram, but I am trying to see if its going to work at all. I literally have about 5 days tied up in this thing. I installed the card in a compaq presario and it worked fine, but it wasnt mine. I even tried an emachines computer, and it worked as well. When i reload XP, is it still leaving something on there? I really would appreciate any help that can be given..... I have called geovision, and they say its a dell issue. Dell says its a geovision issue. I am about to give up..... BY THE WAY I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THAT I WASNT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS UNTIL I TRIED TO RUN IT FOR THE FIRST TIIME AND IT APPEARED TO START UNTIL I GOT A MESSAGE THAT SAID CANNOT FIND KEYPRO.
