[SOLVED] Dell Latitutde D610 4 drivers lost

janie030 · 08-30-2009, 08:19 PM

I have a refurbished laptop, at least for 3 years. I had the worm that is going around and infected computer, many Trojans and multipliers. A big mess. I reloaded my windows xp CD, did remember to make copies of documents, music but not Ethernet, which I did get from driver downloads. The ones I can not find are Multimedia controller, PCI Modem, PCI Simple Communications, and Video Controller VGA compatible. Have no idea where to get them, son sent me a cd with drivers for the Latitudes but the D610 is not on all the drivers listed. Any ideas? Keep going to drivers and downloads but they aren't listed.

Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to TSF,

Before installing the drivers - since you have had so many infections in the laptop,
heres what to do first:

Go here for a HD utility:
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287

If your not able to find one for the laptop then heres 2 you can choose form:

Killdisk - http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm
Dban - http://www.dban.org/download

Go here for imgburn:
http://www.imgburn.com/

Now burn the ISO image to a cd disc.
Perform a HD test and a full erase of HD

Go here for drivers:
http://support.dell.com/support/down...&catid=&impid=

Burn the drivers here to a disc.

Notes: Install the chipset or chipsets drivers first before any other driver, also reboot pc inbetween each driver installation.

Window installation:

1. Enter bios - Set boot order to boot cd first
2. Use the HD utility - Test and complete a full erase of HD
3. Install windows
4. Install drivers
5. Go into device manager - list any devices that has yellow ! marks by them
6. Install antivirus and antispyware protection
7. Update windows using the windfow update icon found by clicking on the start button
8. Your done

Note: If you have any problems here just post back for help.

Thank you for your reply.

Last night after I posted I went back to dell/downloads.Instead of windows xp when everything came I changed it to windows 2000 and the bios came up for the dell D610 I download that and after I restarted the computer 2 drivers came back, I read your note and there was one chip set on the downloads , did that and all drivers are back. I did forgot to tell after getting the internet back did get my anti-virus back and ran it, and malware and spy-ware. After loading the drivers ran a full scan, malware etc and no viruses or malware. spy-ware.
