Where can I find Dell Inspiron 510m Video controller for Windows 7
I installed Windows 7 pro to my DELL inspiron 510m. Windows 7 picks up almost all drivers during installation apart from Video Controller. In device manager shows Video controller with !. How can I fix this problem.

Download from support.dell.com
Your Inspiron 510m has an Intel integrated graphics chip - 830M/855GM. Windows 7 drivers are not available for them:

Sorry.

Sorry.
Dell does not support Windows 7 on the 510m, hence no downloads for it at support.dell.com.

Can't find it in support.dell.com
See my post.
With the official answer being that Intel (thus also Dell) does not support Windows 7 for that graphics chip, it would seem that you might be able to surgically remove the driver from Vista to use in Windows 7:

Ckivml, Dell never shipped this system with Win 7 or Vista therefor they don't offer the drivers for either operating system. If you had bothered to check the support site(no service tag needed) you would have seen that.
Itsa56, PowerEdgeTech is correct Intel does not make a win 7 driver for older laptop video chipsets. You could try and use Drivermax to import a Vista driver(as explained in PowerEdgeTechs link) but this workaround has issues(also talked about in that article) you wont get full functionality. Here's a link to driver max and you can try to use the driver that GRChandrashekar posted.

jamietoner, you're 100% correct. I spent almost 1 hour to find the driver in the link ckivml provided. Could you give me a link to driver max pls and then will follow GRChandrasheker suggestion. I may reinstall XP will solve all problem.
