I'm looking for the same thing. With Win7 installed, ATI video drivers will not install, so the screen is using the windows PnP drivers and it will not show all of the screen's available size.

Since the Inspiron 6000 is around 3 years old, it is doubtful that Dell will support Win7 on this machine. What that means for you guys is that you need to find the drivers for the individual parts that Win7 couldn't install on it's own. For the VGA drive, go to ATI's website and see what they have. Same goes for the other devices you need.

 

edit: The Inspiron 6000 came with an ATI X1400 right? If that's the case, ATI is not supporting that card under Windows 7. Sorry guys.
