Not a problem, ak77. I'm just glad to hear you got things working again.

If you decide to do a clean format and reinstall of the OS the drivers for your system, in the order they should be installed, are:
* Dell Desktop System Software
* Intel Chipset Software for ICH7 systems
* video driver for your system
* SigmaTel STA9220 audio driver
* Intel 82562GZ 10/100 or Intel 82573L gigabit Ethernet (network) driver (depending on your system)
* Drivers for any other hardware you have installed on the system

The key thing is to install the Dell Desktop System software first, as that is basically part of the chipset for the motherboard. All of the drivers are available from the Dell support website (http://support.dell.com).
