DellRockstar Welcome to Dell Community! I am a Dell user, just like you are. HI, Thanks for taking the time to reply. Cannot proceed. Alice, Download the drivers to the computer you're using now. Go to start, right click on my computer, left click properties, go to the hardware tab and then click on device drivers. It says device driver or something like that, I dont have xp anymore I dont remember exactly what it says. Anyways this should bring you to a list of your device drivers.

Look and see if there are any device drivers with a yellow exclamation mark next to them. A simple google search will tell you exactly how to get to your device manager if my xp instructions are not correct. Whether or not there is a exclamation mark by your network adapter drivers, insert the device driver cd that came with your laptop, update or install your network drivers from the cd.

While your there you might as well install any other device drivers that have a yellow! Now then if you do not have a cd or if using the cd device drivers does not work, you will need to download the latest device drivers off the internet. Since your here I can assume that you have some other way to get to the internet aside from your laptop. Similar threads O. Reinstalled XP - cannot connect to internet.

You either have a Conexant or an Intel Modem. I always remove the side cover and look with a flashlight for a label to determine which one it is. Most of the time with the Dell's I've seen, the modems are Conexant. Again, all you will really need is the Driver, not the utilities unless you prefer to have them.

Oh, the audio driver will be the SigmaTel-Driver unless you have a dedicated Creative sound card. OK, I'm on the Internet and I have sound!

Seems when I inserted the Dell driver disk nothing installed. I had to do them manually. My thanks to all of you for taking the time to help me. It is appreciated very much. Now that your on the web you might want to check on the mfg's website and see if there are any updated drivers that you can download. The Best Tech Newsletter Anywhere.
