Driver Help Needed

Tameena · 09-10-2008, 08:56 AM

Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. I was having a few problems with the Group Policy Client so I reformatted the hard drive and re-installed Vista. Now I dont know which drivers I need or how to install them and in which order. I have the following cds which came with the laptop:

-Drivers & Utilities- Dell Webcam Manager (Already done)
-Drivers & Utilities- Reinstalling Dell Portable Computer Software

I've tried these but they're not working or I'm doing it wrong. When I go on device manager the following have '!' marks:

-Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
-Ethernet Controller
-Network Controller
-Video Controller

Please Help..

I've been on this website. However I dont know which drivers to download for the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter, Ethernet Controller or the Video Controller.

Thank you, the only issue I have now is with the Ethernet controller..Can anyone help? Also how do I check my laptop is now working properly, requires no more installs/updates and has everything it first came with?

we need to know what video chip is in there to be able to search for the driver
to see if you need anything else
in the device manager click on view at the top and then on
show hidden devices
then check for yellow alongside of anything
