I had to re-install windows after my system became overwhelmed by viruses. Now I have windows up and running, but my hardware won't work due to the lack of drivers. I called Dell to see if they could help, and of course they tell me my warranty is expired and I will have to pay them some arbitrary amount before they will help me. Would anyone be so kind to help me out here? |

support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen click link, follow directions, get drivers, burn to CD or put on flash drive or something, isntall drivers, reboot, okthxbye. edit: the service tag route would be easiest. how to find the tag |

Which drivers do I need? I have looked thru them all, and can't figure out which ones are needed. Oh, K-Kid, the viruses came from Daphne Zuniga's fan site/homepage. I was watching American dad, and they name dropped her, and I could remember who it was. Clicked on a Google link and all Hell broke loose. Lessons learned: Strong firewall Ensure System restore is curent Ensure your anti-virus is current. I cannot find the drivers CD, all I found is the Windows install, and modem driver disc, and both were still in their shrink wrap, which makes me think it didn't come with a drivers disc, since the other two were unopened. |
You received two disks with your Dell - one labeled "Operating System" and the other "Drivers & Utilities." Take a guess. |
