    Anyone Know Anything About Computers?

    Heres the deal, i got a computer cheap off my friend 150 aud xD with a brand new wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. Its an optiplex GX620 tower and the person who i bought it off was a bit of a computer neeb like myself. His friend installed a chinese version of windows xp and none of the drivers work. So basically does anyone know where i can download the factory install discs for a DELL OPTIPLEX GX6220?

    I will e-sex anyone who finds the software i need.

    So he installed xp in Chinese? Copy the drivers over to a Flash disk, install an English version of XP, and insert the drivers into the drivers folder.

    Go to the Dell site and all the drivers should be on there, download like Cool said then install English XP etc. When you've done that, put the drivers in and then restart your PC. After that, it should be working fine.

    Try asking a friend for a copy of XP or something, no point in downloading. Half of them don't usually work. Easier on you and your PC.

    I honestly don't have a clue, but umm. Did you get it from a Warez site? I'd personaly go legit on this sort of stuff, i.e borrow from a friend or buy a copy. Whats more ag-ravting then having a new PC this isn't cut out as what it says on the box.

    I'll try find out what a .uif is, give me a minute.

    Edit:

    According to this webpage [http://filext.com/file-extension/UIF], it is a Magic ISO Universal Image Format File. That webpage says

    "Universal Image Format (UIF) is a compression image file format for backing up CD/DVDs"

    Taken from: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070518040713AAFMAgd

    I don't think you've downloaded the right file.

    UIF is an extension, download Magic ISO and mount it. Then open "My Computer" and there should be a driver which says "Windows XP" or w/e, double click and install. Viola. And I suggest you go to a local dell store and ask them for the drivers.
