Troubleshooting

Using the Drivers and Utilities Media

If using Device Driver Rollback or System Restore (see "Restoring Your
Microsoft

®

Windows

®

XP Operating System" on page 158) does not resolve

the problem, reinstall the driver from your Drivers and Utilities media.

1 With the Windows desktop displayed, insert your Drivers and Utilities

media.

If this is your first time to use your Drivers and Utilities media, continue to
step 2. If not, proceed to step 5.

2 When the Drivers and Utilities installation program starts, follow the

prompts on the screen.

NOTE:

In most cases, the Drivers and Utilities program starts running

automatically. If it does not, start Windows Explorer, click your media drive
directory to display the media contents, and then double-click the autorcd.exe
file.

3 When the InstallShield Wizard Complete window appears, remove the

Drivers and Utilities disc and click Finish to restart the computer.

4 When you see the Windows desktop, reinsert the Drivers and Utilities

disc.

5 At the Welcome Dell System Owner screen, click Next.

NOTE:

The Drivers and Utilities program displays drivers only for hardware

that came installed in your computer. If you installed additional hardware, the
drivers for the new hardware might not be displayed. If those drivers are not
displayed, exit the Drivers and Utilities program. For drivers information, see
the documentation that came with the device.

A message stating that the Drivers and Utilities program is detecting
hardware in your computer appears.

The drivers that are used by your computer are automatically displayed in
the My Drivers—The ResourceCD has identified these components in
your system window.

6 Click the driver that you want to reinstall and follow the instructions on

the screen.

If a particular driver is not listed, then that driver is not required by your
operating system.
