[Simply Computers] Re: Dell 4600 Drivers

 

  I did DL the Intel driver to a flash drive, put it on his computer & the Ethernet with the yellow ques mark went away. The other three are still there

Multimedia Audio

SM Bus Controller

Video controller (VGA)    

with yellow ques marks.  Also, if the ethernet is downloaded & working, should I be able to connect to the internet now?  He has a wireless adapter that connects from the connection that I have (I'm connected with the phone line), that's says it's working correctly but I still can't get him to the internet.  I'm thinking maybe I have to call Verizon to re-enter the connection settings?

  Also, how do you figure out what drivers are needed?  It's like the person said in the forum link you posted, there are so many choices, it's hard to know what's needed.

Thanks bunches!!

If you get an USB to Cat5 NIC cable adapter WinXP will see if and allow you to get the rest of the drivers.

The other way would be to use a Linux Live CD to download the Dell LAN
driver at least, then start up Windows to get all the updates, etc.

  Ok....so while I was waiting for my new memory, my son ended up with a
virus on his computer.  I couldn't get rid of it so I reformatted.  The
device manager says we are missing drivers.....

Ethernet

Multimedia Audio

SM Bus Controller

Video controller (VGA)

I went over to Dell on my computer to look for them but I have NO
idea!!  ackkk!  Device manager wants to connect to the internet to find
the drivers but I can't get him connected without the driver(s) so I'm
stuck.  I did use the resource cd that came with his computer but
apparently the drivers I need are not on that cd?  Can you help?

Dell 4600.....Win XP

Thanks.....a very appreciative to people that work on computers,

Jeanne
