Create a System Restore Point before installing just in case
Here is a list of all the drivers for your machine from Dell
http://support.euro.dell.com/support...&os=WW1&osl=EN
The first driver you need to install is the Chipset driver, this enables your Devices to be recognised in Device manager. it is a zip file, all instructions are shown on how to install
.Do Not At This Point Install Any Other Drivers check Device Manager again after installing the chipset driver to see if you need any other drivers.Audio and Video drivers are shown but If you are not sure which drivers are for your modem and ethernet download the Belarc Advisor ( free ) it will tell what is installed on your comp.
